Linking material Group and the Account Assignment...

Hi Gurus,
I have a requirement from the client in which they want to restrict the entry of the Account assignment when a particular material group is enetered in the PO.
The requirement is actually either to have F (order) populated in the account assignment field in PO (display only if possible) when a material group in enetered in the PO.
Can anyone advise me of some configration settings for this please?? I know we could be able to do it as a customised setting for the customer and making changes to the PO program but my concern is will it affect the system and infact the PO program itself.
Thanks in anticipation.
Anoop

material group cannot be assigned as default to an account assignment category. The only link that can be formed is between item categories and A/c assignment categories. As some one has already pointed out, determination of G/L account for posting for a specific material group is possible.

Link between Material group and GL account

Hi Friends ,
Need your help in the following issue
Where is the link between Material group and GL account. i.e. If material group is selected in PO then the GL account for the material should get picked up automatically in PO (for account assigned POs) ?
What I know is
1. In Account assignment category configuration we need to assign the value "VBR" in Account Modification field.
2. In Material group configuration we need to assign the vluation class for material group
3. In Account determination(OBYC) for GBB transcation type for the combination of general modifier "VBR" & Valuation class we need to assign the GL account .
When PO is created with respective account assignment category the GL account is picked from the above setting.
My question is , "Is there any other setting apart from the above which will decide the GL account in PO fro account assigned POs"?
Thanks
Deva

Hi,
From IMG> Material Management> Purchasing> Material Master> Entry Aids for Items Without a Material Master,
With it you can define the G/L account assignment according to the relationship between material group and valuation class, from my point of view, you had better define some valuation class for non-produciton parts in advance.
Good luck

How to grey out the Account Assignment Group Fld in Billing Doc Line Item

Hi SD Guru's
I have a small doubt.
I have maintained account assignment group in material master. Now when i create an order , the account assignment group gets picked from material master into this sales order.
Now i go to VF01 for doing the invoicing.
Now i can still go to billing document line item against the material and change its account assignment group before raising the invoice. When i change this field, i can still post to accounts.
I want to know is there any way in which we can restrict the way in which this field is greyed out and is made non-editable, so that only correct entries with account assignment group maintained in material master are posted.
Answers will be appreciated.
Kind Regards
Ravi

Hi,
Sandeep can you please give me step by step process of using SHD0 in this case.
Now if i apply this to transaction VF01 and VF02, would it apply for all billing document types? I dont want that, i want it to work for a specific billing type
Kind Regards
Ravi

What is the differences between the account assignment category of E and M?

Hi, I have a question about account assignment category.I hope someone give me the answer , and I would appreciate it.
    as you know, there are so many account assignment categories (e.g. A:asset,K:cost center)in sap customizing,when we want to purchase asset, we will input A to the field of account assignment category in purchase order.
     When will we input E or M in purchase order? What will it imply when we input E or M in purchase order? What is the differences between the account assignment category of E and M?
Best Regards
Bob Wang

Vijay,Thanks for your answer,but I am still not clear about it,I have a instance to describe my question at detail.
    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

Material Group in the Info Record and PO

We have the scenario of an info record that is "standard" and "sub-contracting". When you display the info record for either category using ME13, it has the value for material group in the general data screen. Technical Assistance tells me this value is found in EINA-MATKL. However, when I do an extract for the info record from EINA, the field is blank.
My two info records (standard and sub-contracting) in EINE were created differently. The standard one was created using ME11 and a plant was entered. Because a plant was entered, the material group value was not required. The sub-contracting info record was automatically created when the PO was created (InfoUpdate button is on). In the PO, the material group was also entered; however, a plant was not added to the info record because we do not have EVO set up to include the plant when the info record is automatically created. (This is something I can change).
This is very confusing when we are looking at these info records and it appears data should be there but it is not. This most noticeably happens with the ones that are getting created automatically and then a different category is created using ME11. Are we are missing some addl requirements in configuration when these records are being created automatically????
Can someone please explain???? I need to come up with a solution to this problem.

If you want to enter diff ordre unit than in the PIR
In this case in the material master purchasing screen you have to activate the var order unit
enter 2 here
now go to your info record and on general data screen you will see the field var ordre unit
here enter 2
than click on conditon from menu
system will popup the order unit screen
here keep cursor on box and click choose
now it will allow you to maintain the box price also
once you do this than it will automatically defult in the Po upon selection.

Material Groups and assocaited valuation class and cost element.

Hi Gurus
Please help
I can see in the config the material group and associated valuation class is for Items without a materisl master, however where is the cost element derived, as I cannot see this data anywhere.
Regards

Hi
For some POs on cost center, (account assignment category K for example), you should have to enter a material group.
In configuration, you will assign a valuation class to these material groups (in spro, tcode OMQW). SAP will derive the cost element by reading table T030 (tcode OBYC) for the given valuation class.

Difference between material group and external material group

Hi,
Can anybody let me know the difference between the material group and external materila group from the business perspective.
Thanks

Hi Raghunandan,
Material Group : Materials having similar attributes will be goruped together and assigned to a Material Group.
Material groups are Extensively useful during :
Limit the Scope of Analysis
Reporting Purpose
External material group : Key that you can use to assign the material to an external material group or to a material group determined according to external systematics.
In General, External material groups are nothing but external representation of group of material which are extensively used in supply souce determination for provions materials related to retail and some other functions
In short if your Internal material group for example bearing is 0001 you can group externally further based on manufacturer like FAG for NRB. No accounting activity is based on it

What is the purpose of GL account in the account assignment tab of PO scree

hi,
in the purchase order screen, in the account assignment tab, there is a field labelled as GL account. May i know what is the purpose of this gl account because as far as i am concerned we need to specify the vendor gl account (in the vendor master) and the stock account and GR/IR account in BSX and WRX transactions in OBYC respectively.
In that case what is the purpose of specifyin a GL account in the purchase order account assignment tab?

Hi,
The fact is quite simple - When you are buying the material, you can be able to define if this is for inventorization or for consumption. If it is for inventory replenishment, then the stock account will be debited during GR posting. Otherwise, P&L account will be debited. The G/L account you have seen in your PO is always needed in case of direct consumption. At the time of GR posting, the posting lines will be -
1)   For stock item:
Dr     Stock Account (BSX Transaction/Event Key);
Cr     GR/IR Clearing Account (WRX Transaction/Event Key)
2)   In case of non-stock item:
Dr     P&L Account (GBB/xxx Transaction/Event Key where xxx is defined in the 'Account Modifier field of the related account assignment category setting in OME9 transaction - which is seen in the PO);
Cr    GR/IR Clearing Account (WRX Transaction/Event Key).
Cheers,
HT

Hi,
1. chart of accounts--> common set of accounts.
2. Group of acts--> group chart of acts.
Generally we use common set of acts.
For common set of A/c-->OB13.
For A/C groups>OBD4>new entries> give your chart of A/C, A/C group, name, from A/C and to A/c> SAVE.
Assigning company code to chart of accounts-->OB62.
Thanks.
If this helps you please reward with points.

Difference between "account group" and "reconciliation account"

Hello,
I am new to SAP and I would like to understand the difference between the "account group" and the "reconciliation account" that appear both in the vendor master records.
From what I read, "account group" is just a classification but has no "accounting" impact whereas "reconciliation account" (goods suppliers, overhead expenses suppliers...) do have an accounting impact.
However I am not sure so I would like a confirmation on that and if possible examples so I could really understand.
Thank you.

Hi,
The account group is a way to divide vendors into groups for reporting later on.
The account group is also the link to the number range and the field selection functionality.
Please refer the below link for more clarity.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_46c/helpdata/en/53/c98647ca3711d2b494006094b9114a/frameset.htm
Account group
The reconciliation account is the account is the account which is posted to at invoice receipt stage where the vendor account represents the sub ledger and the reconcilation account the ledger.
