Automatic Account Assignment

Hi Guys,
I have problem where a cost object is not assigned to a cost element at both KA03 or OKB9, but when a goods issue doc was created, cost center xxxxxx was hit eventhough it was not assigned. Where could this cost center have been assigned?
Thanks in advance
Glenn

Ganga,
Please check your IMG settings for Goods Issue/Transfer postings, I guess in your case it's already set to some value and thats why it is hitting the account after goods issue.
Also check Set manual Account Assignment option in SPRO.

Amey

  • OBYC changes in automatic account assignment

    Hi
    I've a question.
    We have configured automatic account assignment under BSX in OBYC with say, GL1.
    Now we observed that, it has changed to GL2 by mistake. Now we need to set it back to GL1.
    Will system automatically assign all the transactions to the changed GL (i.e from GL2 to GL1), meaning the old transactions as well, or we need to pass a JV for the rectification of the balances to the correct GL.
    Please advise.

    What must be the rectifying action for this?? Since this is a huge balance and Finance dept is not allowing to pass a JV with such a huge balance for audit reasons.
    Plz suggest from MM side what can be done coz reversing and re-posting the whole thing is not possible since its time consuming activity.

  • About automatic account assignment

    hi,
    in one interview i faced a question ie: what are the sequencial steps involved in configur automatic account assignment?
    can i get a answer from seniors

    Configure automatic postings                                                                               
    In this step, you enter the system settings for Inventory Management and             
        Invoice Verification transactions for automatic postings to G/L accounts.                                                                               
    You can then check your settings using a simulation function.                                                                               
    Under Further information there is a list of transactions in Materials               
        Management and their definitions.                                                                               
    What are automatic postings?                                                                               
    Postings are made to G/L accounts automatically in the case of Invoice               
        Verification and Inventory Management transactions relevant to Financial             
        and Cost Accounting.                                                                               
    Example:                                                                               
    Posting lines are created in the following accounts in the case of a                 
        goods issue for a cost center:                                                       
        o  Stock account                                                                     
        o  Consumption account                                                                               
    How does the system find the relevant accounts?                                                                               
    When entering the goods movement, the user does not have to enter a G/L              
        account, since the R/3 System automatically finds the accounts to which              
        postings are to be made using the following data:                                    
        o  Chart of accounts of the company code                                             
           If the user enters a company code or a plant when entering a                      
           transaction, the R/3 System determines the chart of accounts which is             
           valid for the company code.                                                       
           You must define the automatic account determination individually for              
           each chart of accounts.                                                           
        o  Valuation grouping code of the valuation area                                     
           If the automatic account determination within a chart of accounts is              
           to run differently for certain company codes or plants (valuation                 
           areas), assign different valuation grouping codes to these valuation              
           areas.                                                                               
    You must define the automatic account determination individually for              
           every valuation grouping code within a chart of accounts. It applies              
           to all valuation areas which are assigned to this valuation grouping              
           code.                                                                               
    If the user enters a company code or a plant when entering a                      
           transaction, the system determines the valuation area and the                     
           valuation grouping code.                                                          
        o  Transaction/event key (internal processing key)                                   
           Posting transactions are predefined for those inventory management and            
           invoice verification transactions relevant to accounting. Posting                 
           records, which are generalized in the value string, are assigned to               
           each relevant movement type in inventory management and each                      
           transaction in invoice verification. These contain keys for the                   
           relevant posting transaction (for example, inventory posting and                  
      Transaction/event key (internal processing key)                                         
      Posting transactions are predefined for those inventory management and                  
      invoice verification transactions relevant to accounting. Posting                       
      records, which are generalized in the value string, are assigned to                     
      each relevant movement type in inventory management and each                            
      transaction in invoice verification. These contain keys for the                         
      relevant posting transaction (for example, inventory posting and                        
      consumption posting) instead of actual G/L account numbers.                             
      You do not have to define these transaction keys, they are determined                   
      automatically from the transaction (invoice verification) or the                        
      movement type (inventory management). All you have to do is assign the                  
      relevant G/L account to each posting transaction.                                       
      Account grouping (only for offsetting entries, consignment                              
      liabilities, and price differences)                                                     
      Since the posting transaction "Offsetting entry for inventory posting"                  
      is used for different transactions (for example, goods issue,                           
      scrapping, physical inventory), which are assigned to different                         
      accounts (for example, consumption account, scrapping, expense/income                   
      from inventory differences), it is necessary to divide the posting                      
      transaction according to a further key: account grouping code.                          
      An account grouping is assigned to each movement type in inventory                      
      management which uses the posting transaction "Offsetting entry for                     
      inventory posting".                                                                     
      Under the posting transaction "Offsetting entry for inventory                           
      posting", you must assign G/L accounts for every account grouping,                      
      that is, assign G/L accounts.                                                           
      If you wish to post price differences to different price difference                     
      accounts in the case of goods receipts for purchase orders, goods                       
      receipts for orders, or other movements, you can define different                       
      account grouping codes for the transaction key.                                         
      Using the account grouping, you can also have different accounts for                    
      consignment liabilities and pipeline liabilities.                                       
      Valuation class of material or (in case of split valuation) the                         
      valuation type                                                                          
      The valuation class allows you to define automatic account                              
      determination that is dependent on the material. for example: you post                  
      a goods receipt of a raw material to a different stock account than if                  
      the goods receipt were for trading goods, even though the user enters                   
      the same transaction for both materials.                                                
      You can achieve this by assigning different valuation classes to the                    
      materials and by assigning different G/L accounts to the posting                        
      transaction for every valuation class.                                                  
      If you do not want to differentiate according to valuation classes you                  
      do not have to maintain a valuation class for a transaction.                            
       Before you maintain automatic postings, you must obtain the following                           
       information:                                                                               
    1. Valuation level (plant or company code)                                                      
          Establish whether the materials are valuated at plant or at company                          
          code level                                                                               
    When valuation is at plant level, the valuation area corresponds to a                        
          plant.                                                                               
    When valuation is at company code level, the valuation area                                  
          corresponds to a company code.                                                               
          Define valuation level                                                                               
    2. Chart of accounts and valuation grouping code per valuation area                             
          Find out whether the valuation grouping code is active.                                      
          Activate split valuation                                                                     
          If it is not active, determine the chart of accounts assigned to each                        
          valuation area (via the company code).                                                       
          If it is active, determine the chart of accounts and the valuation                           
          grouping code assigned to each valuation area.                                               
          Group valuation areas                                                                               
    You must define a separate account determination process for chart of                        
          accounts and each valuation grouping code.                                                                               
    3. Valuation class per material type                                                            
          If you wish to differentiate the account determination process for                           
          specific transactions according to valuation classes, find out which                         
          valuation classes are possible for each material type.                                       
          Define valuation classes                                                                               
    4. Account grouping for offsetting entries to stock accounts                                    
          Under Define account grouping for movement types, determine for which                        
          movement types an account grouping is defined for the                                        
          transaction/event keys GGB (offsetting entry to stock posting), KON                          
          (consignment liabilities) and PRD (price differences).                                                                               
    Default settings                                                                               
    G/L account assignments for the charts of accounts INT and the valuation                        
       grouping code 0001 are SAP standard.

  • Configuring automatic account assignment

    Hi All,
    Can anyone give me the step by step configuration procedure

    hi,
    spro --> Materials management --> valuation and account assignment --> account determination --> account determination without wizard.
    under this we have:
    define valuation control, group together valuation areas, define account grouping for movement types.
    in transaction OMWN, you will find account grouping.
    1.     Valuation area:  plant or company code ( SAP recommends Plant)
    2.     Valuation class ( 4 Character ID )
    3.     Account Category Reference   Grouping of valuation class for the purpose of Automatic Account Determination.
    4.     Valuation Grouping Code/ Valuation Modifier
         4 Character ID, used to group valuation areas for the purpose of automatic account determination
            88p1      8888   CAUS   0001
             88p2      8888   CAUS   0001
    •     The plants belongs to same company code can have same grouping code.
    •     The plants belongs to same company code can have different grouping code
    •     The plant belongs to different company codes can have same grouping code.
    EX:  valuation grouping code     valuation class      G/L

         It is an internal processing key which facilitates in automatic determination of accounts.  The system uses internally, what accounts have to be picked up.
         3 Character ID
         Some of the Standard Transaction/Event keys are

  • MM automatic account assignment for MIGO (additional accounting lines)

    Hi MM Experts!
    I created a PO (only 1 material in it), and after that I did a GR goods receipt in MIGO for this.
    Movement type: 101
    When I did this the accounting lines looks like that:
    Itm PK Account    Account short text   Assignment...........................Amount
                                                                                    1 89 21411000   Vás. villamosenergia      XXXX...........................................3.000.000
      2 96 29700000   Tech.acct.purch.stoc 450000012800010...................3.000.000-
    I run the transaction OMWB, and did a simulation, and it ok:
    Inventory posting                   0002  -e-       SEVV  89 21411000    99 21411000 
    GR/IR clearing account          0002            SEVV  86 29700000    96 29700000 
    So the MIGO 101 movement type for GR goods receipt did a BSX (Stock posting) and a WRX (GR/IR clearing) accounting.
    I need the following:
    If I do a MIGO with 101 movement (GR goods receipt), not just this 2 accounting line created, but I need +4 additional line (these lines are special taxes).
    So if I do a MIGO I have to see:
    1 89 21411000   Vás. villamosenergia      XXXX...........................3.000.000
    2 96 29700000   Tech.acct.purch.stoc  450000012800010 ..3.000.000-

    4 96 46382100   K1......................................................................1.500.000-
    5 89 51420000   T2.........................................................................750.000
    6 96 47999421   K2.........................................................................750.000-
    Is it possible? How can I do it?
    I search in OBYC, but I canu2019t find appropriate solution.
    Thanks for the answers.
    Peter

    Hi,
    In 1st case, you have entry in Goods Receipt of inventory value debited(3.000.000 +) and GR/IR clearing(3.000.000 -). As all value flow from purchase order which with NET VALUE with pricing elements( condition type/types).
    As in 2nd case you wanted.....with addition of above accounting entries, extra 4 lines needed but what are the two amounts represents ( 1.500.000 &   750.000)?
    If so needed you should have two extra condition types in PO for amount representing 1.500.000 &   750.000.The condition types must be there in MM pricing procedure in M/08, maintain the  account keys  with a accrual key for each condition type. For condition types for both in M/06 , maintain condition category is must( do not keep blank, keep as B)& also select accrual check box in control data.In OBYC, maintain the  two different G/L accounts for two  accrual keys.
    Also activate the Purchase account management in the Company code in following path:
    SPRO> Materials Management> Valuation and Account Assignment> Account Determination> Account Determination Without Wizard> Purchase Account Management> Activate Purchase Account in Company Code
    After above setting, Create a PO and do goods receipt and check accounting entries.

  • MM FI - AUTOMATIC ACCOUNT ASSIGNMENT

    Hi All
    I have a doubt with regards to the valuation grouping code. SAP says that "when the valuation grouping code is deactivated, all the valuation areas which use the same chart of accounts would be treated identically in terms of account assignment"
    Correct me if i am wrong in understanding the above statement -
    1. that all the valuation areas using the same chart of accounts will be using the same G/L accounts?? that is to say that there will be a one is to one match between the G/L accounts of all the valuation areas using the same chart of accounts??
    Also i wanted to know the use of transaction OMWN and its use..
    Thanks..

    Hi,
    transaction OMWn
    while doing Gr, system find material master .material master have material type ,material type have account category reference and material master have valuation class ,
    suppose your r receiving goods against PO
    MVt type 101,
    System will check if material is quantity and value updated for material type or not
    if its is special stock, or not ,
    if this gr  against PO or production order( If PO system will take movement indicator B or production order F)
    if its consumption or asset or neither  ( see consumption posting In omwn ie. v=consumption.A=asset etc)
    if according to that system will check one bye one ,
    then it will take value string and transaction even key
    And then Accounting entrees take place In GR after this all execution

  • Sales/Use Tax - Automatic Account Assignment

    Our use tax on an incoming Accounts Payable invoice gets automatically charged to a GL account.  Is there a way to assign a profit center on that posting so that all postings to that GL account for that company are assigned to a profit center?

  • Problem with stock transport order account assignment

    hi gurus,
    I've a situation in ECC 6.0 environment in regard to STO that I hope you can shed some lights.
    We're doing an upgrade from 4.6 to ECC6 and I'm doing some preliminary tests in the new box and I'm getting KI235 error message "Account xxx requires an assignment to a CO object", when I try to posts goods issue from the delivery document.  When I assign a dummy cost center to the cost element, I can post the document and I get a CO and SPL accounting documents.  In 4.6 there is no accounting document generated as the result of goods issue and this is what client wants. I've checked the release notes and OSS as well checked the setting for automatic account assignment in MM but I couldn't find any difference.  I need to add that the material that I use is non-valuated but there is an accounting view for the material with valuation class.  I'm just baffled that the goods issue for the same materials in 4.6 works without producing accounting documents but it doesn't work in ECC.
    Any suggestion is greatly appreciated.

    Hi
    If the material is non valuated then the accounting view should not be present, by mistakenly may be you have maintained the accounting view for the material type & maintined the accounting view in Material master.
    If you dont want the accounting document generated, then you need to first de-select the accounting view for the material type & make the material as non valuted by removing the flag on Value update for the Plant.
    now create anew material & test the transaction, if you want to use the sam eold material then make the Moving average price of the material to zero first & then change the Price control to S. & Test the transaction.
    Thanks & Regards

  • What is the importance of word account in 'Account' assignment elements

    i have tried but no one answers specific question -- What is 'account assignment element'.
    its used everywhere as if everyone understands it in every module.
    for e.g

    kumar

    Dear Kumar,
    According to the document principle. a document must be generated and stored in the system for every transaction/event that causes a change in stock.
    When posting a goods movement in the SAP System, the following documents are created:
    <b>Material document</b>
    In the Inventory Management system, when a goods movement is posted, a material document is generated that serves as proof of the movement and as a source of information for any applications that follow.
    A material document consists of a header and at least one item. The header contains general data about the movement (for example, its date). Each item describes one movement.
    <b>Accounting document</b>
    If the movement is relevant for Financial Accounting (that is, if it leads to an update of the G/L accounts), an accounting document is created parallel to the material document.
    In some cases, several accounting documents are created for a single material document. This might be the case, for example, if you have two material document items with different plants that belong to different company codes.
    The G/L accounts involved in a goods movement are updated through an automatic account assignment.
    For goods receipts for purchase orders, goods movements for stock transport orders and consignment withdrawals, business partners may have different local currencies. Therefore, as well as the local currency, the accounting document must also contain another currency for processing and postings. For this purpose, accounting documents created as a result of these goods movements will automatically be managed in the local currency and in the document currency. You can switch between both currencies by choosing Settings -> Currency display.

    Account postings form an integrated part of SAP accounting. All transactions entered in the sub ledger accounts end up as general ledger postings in SAP. Thus, a posting to sub ledger account say account receivable, account payable will have an effect on the general ledger. As a rule, any accounting transaction, which affects the general ledger invariably results in a GL account posting.
    But how does SAP recognize the correct GL account to be posted based on the sub ledger transaction entry. SAP recognized every transaction or entry in the sub ledger as a line item. Having said that, each line item has a unique account number, amount, and posting key. SAP FIGL uses this information in identifying the account to be posted. Similar to account postings, documents created in other modules such as production planning, sales & distribution, materials management, controlling, also get posted if they affect the general ledger i.e. SAP GL. A user in SAP does not even have to manually post a document / line item. SAP can be configured for automatic posting though an option is available for manual posting as well.

  • PO Account assignment category change blanks out GL account

    When changing the AAC on a PO from 'I' to a 'U', for certain price conditions, the GL account gets blanked out. The OME9 setting for both I and U is 'GL account number field is mandatory'. This occurs even when no GR/IR have been performed on the PO. The error message ME083 - 'Enter GL Account' is thrown. Occurs in ME22N and when using BAPI_PO_ChANGE. Is this normal?
    Thanks for your help.

    I think it is normal.  There is a checkbox 'Derive acct. assgt.' in OME9.  Here is the help text on this field.
    If Inventory Management is not active in your system, you must specify (enter) the preliminary account assignments for all the items manually. Setting this indicator enables you to by-pass this step. You will then no longer get the dialog box for the entry of a preliminary account assignment.
    You maintain the automatic account assignment specification facility using the Customizing functionality of Financial Accounting under Maintain automatic account determination.
    Check the checkbox and see if it solves your issue.  Apparently, checking this checkbox enables fetching the account from Maintain automatic account assignment config. table.

  • Fund & Gl Account Assignement

    I have created a Fund in FM5I but I don'yt know where to attach a Fund Centre to a GL Account.
    Can some one help me

    Dear Kiran,
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_pserv464/helpdata/EN/b9/3ea582417c11d189400000e829fbbd/content.htm
    Having created your commitment item hierarchy, you must then define account assignment items in the G/L accounts, which are relevant to the automatic account assignment derivation from the G/L account.
    Prerequisites
    A prerequisite is that you have first flagged the Commitment item field as an optional entry in Customizing for Financial Accounting by choosing Define screen format per account group (G/L accounts).
    To ensure that data is correctly recorded and that commitment/actual values are correctly analyzed in the information system, it is essential that you define the correct control parameters for account assignment items in G/L accounts. If you do not, the values may be wrongly posted and displayed.
    Activities
    If you post to a particular G/L account, the posting is simultaneously recorded in the commitment item stored in it. The control parameters determine how and where the values are recorded in Funds Management.
    When you enter a posting, the system proposes the commitment item from the G/L account for that line item. In accordance with the settings entered in Customizing, this recommendation value can be transferred or overwritten with another commitment item.
    The financial transaction and item category are automatically taken over from the line item when you post.
    Hope this will help.
    Regards,
    Naveen.
