.

Answers: B, D

The system expects an Account Assignment in the Purchasing Document when:

No Accounting data view means no stock account, hence an accounting assignment is desirable. (B)

Material Type "UNBW" is likely set with Qty without Value for the Plant. (D)

No Material entered in the Purchasing Document line item.

Material entered was created with Material Type ("Without Value" indicator). (eg: UNBW or NLAG)
