Account assignment and plant

Hi all,
My problem :
When I create a PR for a material for one specific plant, SAP asks an account assigment (wich is anormal). For all other plants, no account assigment is asked (which is normal)!
Someone has an idea to solve this problem ? Where is the link between Account assignment and Plant / Material ?
Thank all !
I reward if answers are useful

Hi,
Normally we procure material for two things
Procure to Stock
Procure to Consumption
If the procurement is Procure to Stock the Material is needed. Here you may use or may not use account assignments.
If the procurement is Procure to Consumption Account Assignments become Mandatory since you are not keeping the stock.
Account assignment is linked with Material type. While creating Material type in OMS2 in the Quantity / Value Updation If you check In all Valuation areas then System will not ask for account assignment for a purchase requisition with a material.
Where as if it is Checked in In No valuation areas then System will ask acct assgnment.

Business partner account assignment and G/L account assignment different

Hello Experts,
I am facing the issue of "Business partner account assignment and G/L account assignment different" Message no. FKKFMCHK039, while I am processing the Check lot (FP25).
Notable points are:
01) We are using the functionality of Interest, if customer pays the outstanding after due date, payment will post the interest on the outstanding;
02) I cross checked the account balance of business partners for which I am facing this problem, if payment amount is more then the outstanding balance then only we are facing this error, however under clarification processing if we post the payment with option of Post on account , payments are getting posted.
Looking for your valuable inputs.
Regards,
Anurag

Hello Experts,

Hi,
System has been designed for your business, so you have separate document type for account assigned PO where document type of PO link to Field Selection Key where you have control on how the screen ,filed has to be appear in PO.
Once PO has been created wrongly and to correct it, you need to follow my 1st answer , no need to go for any enhancement and if you do so by any mean, business will not allow you do so.

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:
Material document
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.
Accounting document
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.

General Ledger Accounting:
The central task of G/L accounting is to provide a comprehensive picture for external accounting and accounts. Recording all business transactions (primary postings as well as settlements from internal accounting) in a software system that is fully integrated with all the other operational areas of a company ensures that the accounting data is always complete and accurate.
The SAP FI General Ledger has the following features:
Free choice of level: corporate group or company
Automatic and simultaneous posting of all sub-ledger items in the appropriate general ledger accounts (reconciliation accounts)
Simultaneous updating of general ledger and cost accounting areas
Real-time evaluation of and reporting on current accounting data, in the form of account displays, financial statements with different financial statement versions and additional analyses.
Essentially, the general ledger serves as a complete record of all business transactions. It is the centralized, up-to-date reference for the rendering of accounts. Actual individual transactions can be checked at any time in realtime processing by displaying the original documents, line items, and transaction figures at various levels such as:
Account information
Journals
Totals/transaction figures
Balance sheet/profit and loss evaluations
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.

Multiple account assignment and copy of po line item quantity to x lines

Hi,
I am wandering if it is possible to automate the copy of the first line presented for 10pc in multiple account assignment screen on PO line item level to 10 lines with quantity 1 in the same multiple account assignment screen. This is of course related to the second step we want to examine which is the creation of Assets for these 10 multiple account assignment lines
Looking forward to your proposals

Select the first line and choose copy just beside copy icon the new icon will appear "insert account assignment item"
Select on right side you have two options "Insert Once" , "Insert several times" select several time system will default Pop up
Insert number of times 9 , Now change the line item Qty. to 10

Undeleting a PO line item with multiple account assignment and PO history

I am getting error message
PO history already exists (Multiple account assignment not possible)
Message no. MEPO841
When attempting to undelete a purchase order line item that has GR (nonvaluated) and Invoice postings.
Sequence of events.
PO line item was created with mutlitple account assignments ( 50/50 distribution) and GR nonval flags on.
Invoice Posted (blocked for payment)
GR done
PO line item marked for deletion.
Now getting MEPO841 when attempting to undelete.
Tried to Reverse GR and cancel material docuement - unable to do so - message no selectable items in PO
(even with check zero indicator )

Hello Dan ,
Error message MEPO 841 is only issued if you have Multiple account assignment function (MAA) activated. Multiple account assignment function is a new business function developed in Release 604.
If you have MAA active, you are not allowed to change a single account assigned PO which has GR posted to a multiple accounts assigned PO. If this is tried , MEPO 841 will stop you from doing this change.
If you want to have your old functionality in the lower release, you should switch off the business function LOG_MM_MAA_1 ( MM Multiple Account Assignment ) in Release 604.
Please switch the business function LOG_MM_MAA_1 off in test environment and test the problem again in a productive system.
I hope this information has been helpful in solving your problem. Please let me know if you have any further questions.
Thank you.

Movement Type Account Assignment and Account Modifier usage

Dear All.
Scenario:
We have a requirement for some of our sales transactions to post to an expense account at PGI in the delivery rather than the COGS account.
So we're investigating assigning another movement type (copy 601) to the schedule line category used for these sales transactions.
Prior to doing this though, I wanted to see if it's possible to still use the 601 movement type and use an Account Modifier (or other function) to point these sales to the different offsetting GL account?
I see how to assign the account modifier's to the movement type, but I'm not seeing how this relates to the transaction and how the system will pick up one account modifier vs another when the movement is posted?
When I check the material document and accounting document generated from the delivery PGI, I see the movement type, accounts posted to and various other data, but no account modifier.
Q:
Is it possible to have one movement type post to different offsetting accounts for this type of scenario?
Also, how does the account modifier tie in to the transaction?
Many Thanks.

Hi Carlos.
Well, for us this one is set. We decided to stop investigating and put in a new schedule line category for these along with a new movement type assigned to the schedule line category. There's not too many so it can be manually assigned.
However, I would still like to figure this out for next time. When I get some time I'm thinking of looking in to the FI substitution rules or other customizing on the FI side. Must be some way to override the default posting without having to impact SD/MM?
It was a fairly quick change, but still with testing/documentation/re-training/meetings, etc.... it all adds up.
Thanks!
Let me know what you guys do.

Account assignment for Movt type 101 and 501

All SAP Gurus,
We want to do the account assignment for movt types 101, 102, 122, 123, 201, 202, 261, 262 accourding to the movement types.
We are aware that the Transaction Key is 'GBB'.
But how to know that which 'General Modification' is used for which movement types.
(in short where we can find this link between movement types and Transaction Key and 'General Modification')
Regards,

To know this first you have to know what does the different general modifications means for GBB:
AUA: for order settlement
AUF: for goods receipts for orders (without account assignment)
and for order settlement if AUA is not maintained
AUI: Subsequent adjustment of actual price from cost center directly
to material (with account assignment)
BSA: for initial entry of stock balances
INV: for expenditure/income from inventory differences
VAX: for goods issues for sales orders without
account assignment object (the account is not a cost element)
VAY: for goods issues for sales orders with
account assignment object (account is a cost element)
VBO: for consumption from stock of material provided to vendor
VBR: for internal goods issues (for example, for cost center)
VKA: for sales order account assignment
(for example, for individual purchase order)
VKP: for project account assignment (for example, for individual PO)
VNG: for scrapping/destruction
VQP: for sample withdrawals without account assignment
VQY: for sample withdrawals with account assignment
ZOB: for goods receipts without purchase orders (mvt type 501)
ZOF: for goods receipts without production orders
(mvt types 521 and 531)
You can also define your own account groupings. If you intend to post goods issues for cost centers (mvt type 201) and goods issues for orders (mvt type 261) to separate consumption accounts, you can assign the account grouping ZZZ to movement type 201 and account grouping YYY to movement type 261
Then go and check OMWN.

Purchase Order Document Type and Account Assignment

Hi ,
We have a requirement to control Account Assignment in Purchase Order Item line based on the Document type selected on the Purchase Order header.
Like if user selects Purchase Order document type "ZNB" (Customized created) , then he will only able to select "K" or Blank or "P" as account assignment and similary we want to limit other Account assignments based on the Purchase Document type.
How can we make this Control settings?
Regards
Shrey

Hi,
You can't really limit the account assignment categories per document type, at least not directly.
You can limit the item categories that can be used for a document type via configuration:
Materials Management > Purchasing > Purchase Order > Define Document Types
Within this transaction you can define which item categories are valid for a specific document type.
You can then define which account assignment categories are valid for each item category
Materials Management > Purchasing > Account Assignment > Define Combination of Item Categories/Account Assignment Categories
BUT
limiting the account assignment categories that are valid for an item category will affect ALL purchase order document types that this item category is valid for. And you can't create your own item categories as this is a SAP standard table that can NOT be altered.

Monika

Account Assignment - Qty and Value Update

Hi,
I need to have value and qty update for a a/c assignment po's.. ie in po i'm using a/c assignment as A, and in gr i need to have qty and value update . how to do?? is it possible? i knew that that a/c assingment won't generate qty update for a/c assignment catergores... is any way to create qty update for a/c assignmnt cateroires (K-cost center,A-Asset)

Hi,
when you are creating a PO with account assignments menas , the costs of this product need to get posted to the account assignment , and the material is being procured for consumption ( not for stock) to this account assignment.
But however , qty and value updates depends upon the material type of the material.When you use a stocked material type material is used for the PO, change the account assignment definition as said in above posting.
Chek the material type of the material you used for the PO to your error message.

How to maintain different account assignment group for a material

One of our items in plant A was extended in B to use in an business scenario.
Since the item was extended using the copy function every change
made in A seems to affect our Item master in B . What governs this?
Since the item is manufactured in A the Acct. assignment Group in
Sales Org. 2 is set to 01 manufactured item, while for B it is a
purchased item and so 03.
Please let me know how to go a head with this.

Hi
As per standards and logics a material can be created only once in MM01
In MM01 we create a material say pen under some organizational data and that includes plant, storage location,sales org,DC,warehouse etc
If you are extending the same material to another plant the same can be done in MM01 with the new organizational data and after that if you hit enter you will get a message that the material is already created and extended to such and such data
In that exept the basic data 1 and 2 many or most of the fields can be changed
I have checked account assignment category in sales org data 2 can be changed
Say for plant 1000 for material pen assignment category can be 01 and
plant 1001 for the same material pen assignment category can be 02 like that
The extra keys for account assignment categories are defined in t code OVK5
img-sd-basic functions-account assignment and costing-revenue account determination---check master data relevant for account assignment
Relevant VKOA settings to be done
Then based on plant (in sales order) diffrerent GL accounts will be picked
So a same material with respect to the organizational data can have different account assignment categories

Account assignment in third party

Hii.....
Am doing third party purchase order processing, at the time of creting PO system ask for account assignment, can anyone expalin me why it is necessary to give the account assignment, and wat is the setting for account assignment.
Regards
SARFRAZ

Hi,
When you create a third party PO you create a goods receipt for that material in your plant but physically material is delivered to third party
In normal case when you receive goods system debits inventory and post credit to GR/IR but in this case since goods are not physically available it asks for an account assignment and treat those goods in the system as consumed i.e.delivered to third party
There are no seperate settings for account assignment
While creating PO on the line item beside material column you have to select Account assignment category where you want to show this consumption
Account assinment cat.are delivered std.by SAP you can check those -
SPRO>MM>Purchasing>accoutn assignment
