Account assignment category cannot be changed for limit items

HI all,
I am getting same error in RZ20
Instance POXXXXX of object type PurchaseOrder cou ld not be changed
Purchase order still contains faulty items
Account assignment category cannot be changed for limit items
PO is created with service item and it is in backend.
When it is changed it is giving error. User is added contract no# on change version.
Could you please share the solution...

sometimes sap throws unwanted error messages. these are example notes
415346 ME21n, ME456 when filling the account assignment type
411883 ME21N, ME456 when filling the account assignment category
403537 PO from PReq with different account assignment type: E456
Using Transaction ME21N,you create a purchase order for external service and add a new item by copying a request for quotation. If the request for quotation does not have a plant, when you enter the assignment category, the system displays error message ME456 "Account assignment category cannot be changed for limit items". Also there is no account assignment change involved.

Account Assignment Category in Rework Order for non valuated material

Friends,
We created non valuated material for rework. I want to accumulate the rework cost. When i am trying in CO02 = Header = Settlement Rule where the category is MAT but I want it to be ORD.
How that category is changed to ORD, so that I can able to accumulate cost with respect to order?

Hi,
Whether you are creating the rework order with material? Actually rework order is supposed to be created without material with transaction CO07. Here in this case you have to define the account assignment category ORD in settlement rule.
In some cases to meet the requirement we can create the rework order with material also through transaction CO01/CO08, but in this case the account assignment category will be MAT by default. Therefore you cannot change it to ORD.
Hence you need to create rework order to have account assignment category ORD w/o material only.

HI,
Please check in customizing.IN assign item category menu
S.doc typeitem cat. groupUsageHigh lvl itemiem cate.
ORERLA TAQTAE.
IN MM01 ERLA and LUMF can not be assigned to same material.They are alternative item category group.
ERLA is used when you want to price Main item in BOM and sub-item are not priced.
LUMF is used when main item in BOM is not priced but sub-item(individual component) are priced.
In SAles org vie 2- you have assigned LUMF,that is each sub-item is priced.hence you are able save the document.Since You have maintained price in VK11 for each sub-item and item category of sub-item is not getting vhanged from TAN to TAE.
But if you maintained ERLA in Sales org view 2 and redo all steps,your problem will be solved.

Block account assignment category in PR with service item category

Hello Gurus!
Is it possible to disble all account assignment category in PR when using service item category in PR? Only leaving "U" as possible option?
I see I do it in customizing under Define Combination of Item Categories/Account Assignment Categories by deleating all the combination but the D-U combination. However, this will affect also the PO documents.
Is there any other option?
Thanks,

About account assignment category

Hi, I have a question about account assignment category.I hope someone give me the answer , and I would appreciate it.
    If there is a final product A, and the planning strategy for A is 20(MTO), the procurement type of A is F(external procurement) at the view mrp2 in the material master datas.
step1: I creat a sales order.
step2: run MRP for A.
step3: transfer the purchase requistion into a purchase order,and the field of acc.***.cat. in the purchase order will be filled out M automatically, because the acc.***.cat. in the planning strategy 20(MTO) is set with E.
    Well, the purchase order is created, what is the relationship between the sales order and the purchase order? What will be happened about costing between the SO and the PO?
    If I delete the E, I make the PO become a standard PO, what is difference between standard PO and the PO including E?
Best Regards
Bob

Hi,
Definition: Account Assignment Category: - A key indicating whether an item is to be assigned to an auxiliary account (such as a cost center).
The account assignment category determines which account assignment details are required for the item (for example, cost center or account number).
Generally used Account Assignment Categories are Cost Center (K) in case of Miscellaneous Purchases, Assets (A) in Capital Goods Purchases, etc...
You can configure Account Assignment Category in Transaction OME9 OR you can go with following path;
SPRO > MM > Purchasing > Account Assignment > Maintain Account Assignment Categories
Her you have to perform following Activities;
1. Check the attributes of the account assignment categories
2. Maintain the account assignment categories to suit your requirements

Change account assignment category for services with ME22N

Dear guru ,
i have created a purchase order for a position with item category D(service) and account assignment category K(cost centre). I have inserted for the accounting view the cost center.
After the saving If I a try to change the purchase order position with ME22N the system donu2019t allow to change the account assignment category (F order instead of K).
I have verified that for other positions with account assignment category K(cost centre) but for Item category blank(standard) the system allow to change the account assignment category if not exist goods receipt or invoice.
Whatu2019s the problem about services ?
Thanks

Hi,
Usually the Account assigned PO's are fixed with Account assignment, you cann't modify the account assignment once it is saved.
It depends on the IMG settings for Account assignment category.
Check the following IMG Settings
SPROMMPurchasingAccount assignment-Maintain account assignment categories
Here check for "K" --Costcentre in the detailed information if the checkbox at Acct assignment changable then only you can modify the Account assignment category modification in PO, otherwise not possible.

Define G/L Account for Product Category and Account Assignment Category

Hello Experts,
I got a requirment to make a new entry in below SPRO path.
Define G/L Account for Product Category and Account Assignment Category
*Individual entries cannot be put into the change request*
*Message no. SV141*
*Diagnosis*
*For technical reasons, the entries cannot be fully specified in the change request. There are two possible reasons for this:*
*1. The key of an entry is longer than 120 characters. All entries whose keys match up to character 119, are then copied into the change request, rather than an individual entry.*
*2. The key of an entry contains fields of special data types, for example, packed numbers. The key can only be specified in the change request up to the first such field from the left.*
*all entries whose keys match up to character 26 are copied into the change request, rather than a single entry.*
*System Response*
*The selected entry is copied into the change request correctly, but other entries may be copied as well.*
My question is, If I make one entry and move to Quality and production system will it move only one entry or whole table will move?
Kindly help me.
Thanking you
Regards
Sharan

I got the same message trying to make an entry in SPRO:
Define Backend System for Product Category
I found the note 305942 describing exactly the issue for my and above mentioned entry, which offers the correction, then the note 326802 which offers the correction of the first notes. However, both notes are for Releases 4.6C and D (from 2000), and we are using EHP2 FOR SAP SRM 7.0.
I see another discussions in SCN regarding this topic, but haven't found real solution yet. Any hints? At least the answer to previous question from Sharan would be appreciated.
Best regards,

Defalting Account assignment category for PRs

Hi,
How do I configure to have automatically default a u201CAccount assignment categoryu201D depending on PR document type, so the user cannot change/enter Account assignment categoryu201D .
For example if the PR type is u201CService PRu201D, all line items must have the u201CAccount assignment categoryu201D as u2018Ku2019 and if the PR type is u201CCapital PRu201D the u201CAccount assignment categoryu201D must always be u2018Au2019

Hi there,
There is no direct way to link document type and account assignment category.
But you can try this which is close.
--> One is through Personal setting in PO screen.
Can be done at Personal Setting TAB in application toolbar( extreme right side) in the PO (ME21N) screen.
Click default value
PO header , enter your PO document type &
PO item, enter acc. ***. Cat. K
& Save.
The other way is controlling through the item category, maintain only one account assignment category for your item category in SPRO > Materials Management > Purchasing > Account Assignment > Define combination of item category/account assignment category.

Senthil

Purchase order and Account assignement category- Change

hi.,
We are trying to receive the Purchase order of High value components into INVENTORY.
However, most of these Purchase Orders were created with account assignments.
Because of that, if we receives these POs, they will be consumed against the object identified in the account assignment.
Additionally, some of these have been invoiced already and would need to be backed out from the finance side.
Question: How can we receive these STO Purchase orders and then make changes through Movement type ( or any other way ) so that the HIgh Value Components that are consumed against that AC assignment can be subsequently moved into Invenotory.
Also, what are the other options ( FI will not open Previous period) so that the PO's which have been invoiced can be reversed against that AC assignment.
Thanks All

hi Rajesh.,
As mentioned earlier, these Purchase orders are STO's which have been already created and we are waiting to do the GR for the same. Items in the STO PO are of High value which we need to bring into INVENTORY.
But, because these STO PO's were created with account assignments, if we do GR now, they will be consumed against the object identified in the account assignment.
Some of these STO PO's have been invoiced already and FI has indicated that they could cancel the invoices for those STO PO's in previous posting period.
Question again : How can we receive these STO Purchase orders and then make changes through Movement type ( or any other way ) so that the HIgh Value Components that are consumed against that AC assignment can be subsequently moved into Inventory and not to a cost Center (202)
Step (1) Can we cancel the Invoiced items> reverse the GR for invoiced Items>reverse STO for PO ?
Step (2) Can we reverse the STO for PO for which GR has not been done? then
Step (3) Change the PO through ME22N, remove the Account assignment category?
Or how do we correct this situation for
(1) PO's already invoiced.
(2) PO for which GR has not been made. How can we receive them into Stock and not Cost center.
Anticipating a reply
Thanks

Ability to modify Account Assignment Category for Service Item Categories

Dear experts,
Our customer has a requirement to modify the account assignment category when the item category is set to "D" services on a PR and PO line item. This scenario is specific to indirect procurement scenarios in SAP ECC 6.0 MM.
End users may potentially create a PR against a service item category with an incorrect account assignment category. These PRs are created using free form text. No service master exists in these scenarios. During the approval process or during PO creation, an approver or the buyer may need to correct the account assignment category. The account assignment category is "display" only and cannot be modified when the item category is set to "D". The user must delete the line item and create a new line item with the correct account assignment category. The copy function cannot be used because the account assignment copies from the existing line and cannot be modified.
Any recommendations to this issue using standard SAP configuration solutions?
Thanks,
Jennifer

Item Category to Account Assignment Category combination is already configured. For Service Item Category, we have three account assignment categories configured. All three categories are valid in different scenarios. Sometimes the user selects the incorrect account assignment category (out of the three available) depending on the business scenario. PT9F configuration is already set to Account Assignment category "optional". However, the account assignment category still cannot be modified on the PR when the item category is "D" service.
Any other recommendations?

Error message when trying to post GR for account assignment category A

Hello gurus,
when I create a PO item with account assignment category A, PO creation works fine. But when I try to post the GR for that item, I get an error message similar to
"Account determination for entry <our chart of accounts> ANL <our company code> not possible".
Any idea what the problem might be?
I have had similar error messages in the past, when the automatic postings where not configured completely. So "ANL" should be some transaction like BSX or something. But I cannot find a transaction ANL.
Thanks in advance
Alicia

Thanks for your help, everything seems to be ok as described.
This seems to be a SAP error, see SAP note 1249431.

Account assignment category F not showing in PR & PO for stock material.

Dear All,
I have created one breakdown maintenance order in that i have planned one stock (L) material, for this reservation is created.
Then i have run mrp by using tcode md03 for that material.......pr is generated.
Now when i am going to convert this pr into po, system dosen't show account assignment category for this pr as "F"
Also when i see in change pr tcode me52n.........._system dosen't show account assignment category as "F"_
Actually system must show account assignment cateory as* "F" in pr & while converting pr to po.*
How i can resolved this issue. Any config setting is to be done kindly give the step by step procedure.
Thanks & Regards,
Sandeep

Hi,
When you select L stock Item that means the material will come under stock at stores. And then goods issue will be done against your reservation.
Coming to account assigned PR as F order then when GR is done agaist PO the material is directley isued to the order. From MRP system only checks agaist that material what the requirement and what is available stock, if short fall exists then it will generate PR with out any account assignment based on material master setting.
For ex if for the same material requirement has come from 4 orders then which order no system will consider to generate a PR.
Hope it is helpful.
