When automatic account determination is not set up, the transaction that will generate an error message is the goods receipt of valuated material. This is because valuated materials require a corresponding assignment to the appropriate General Ledger (G/L) accounts for inventory and cost of goods sold impact. The system needs to determine which accounts to use to reflect the financial implications of the goods receipt, such as increasing inventory and recognizing accrued costs.

In this case, without the configuration of automatic account determination, the system cannot complete the posting for the goods receipt, leading to an error message. Valuated materials have a monetary value associated with them, meaning the system needs to manage their financial postings accurately.

Different considerations apply to the other options listed. For goods receipt of non-valuated material, there may not be a financial impact that requires similar account determination, and thus the system can process that transaction without generating an error. Similarly, goods issue transactions, particularly for non-valuated materials, are less complex in terms of account differentiation, and they can be processed without these automatic determinations as well. Meanwhile, while goods issue of valuated material involves monetary aspects, the handling might differ based on the specific configuration of the system or the manner in which materials are managed within that organization.
