Symptoms

When the Ledger is changed for a Business Unit from Assign Business Functions page after the Common Options for Payables and Procurement as well as Invoice and Payment Options were already setup, when invoices are created against this Business Unit, the Invoice tables are pointing to the old Ledger value, and accordingly the following error is received when running Create Accounting:

"The Company segment value in the account XXXXX is not assigned to the ledger XXXXX"

STEPS
------
1. From Assign Business Functions, change the primary ledger for an existing Payables business unit
2. Create invoice
3. Run Create Accounting

Please note that this change will also cause issue with Invoice validation. The following error is encountered when attempting to validate an invoice that was created after BU and ledger assignment was changed:

"Accounting event could not be generated due to unhandled error. Additional information: Checking if any dists exists with no accounting event. (AP-810595)"
