--------------

EXPECTED BEHAVIOR
-----------------------
It is expected that the ledger code be applied successfully to the shipment as the code defines a valid reference number that is contained within the shipment.

STEPS
-----------------------
The issue can be reproduced with the following steps:

1. Navigate to Financials/ Power data / general ledger/ general ledger key components. Create 4 components (preferably all reference numbers)
2. Navigate to Financials/ Power data / general ledger/ general ledger key and create a ledger key for buy shipments that defines the ledger key components in ranking. Add the 4 components from step (1).
3. Create a ledger key code that assigns the ledger key created in step (2).
4. Assign a value for the last component within the ledger code and ensure all other fields are left null.
5. Plan a shipment that has all 4 components from step (1).
6. Click Actions -> Settlement -> Assign Shipment General Ledger code for the respective shipment.
7. The error is thrown.
