Hi,

You should maintain this IMG - Public Sector Management - General Settings for Public Sector Management - Basic Settings: Account Assignment Elements - Allow BLANK as Value for Account Assignment Elements  if you want to allow empty value in certain activated FM assignments.

If you want to keep FM assignment mandatory, you have to make sure that the value is properly derived. Set a trace in FMDERIVE when performing the relevant transaction in order to see if Functional area is properly filled.

Regards,

Eli
