Table T169P: entry does not exist

When facing the issue table T169P entry does not exist while processing a goods receipt purchase order creation, the issue is most likely due to the fact that the company code of the purchase order is not setup in the automatic change in status of correct invoices table T169P, thus throwing an error when creating a purchase order.

To solve it, add a new entry for the company code in table T169P using transaction SM30.
