Account Assignment cat -Spe

Hi
Kindly explain the specification of Account Assignment category in MM
-Thanks-
Regards
Porsee

Hello,
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).
Configuration: -
SPRO > MM > Purchasing > Account Assignment > Maintain Account Assignment Categories
Activities: -
1. Check the attributes of the account assignment categories
2. Maintain the account assignment categories to suit your requirements
SPRO > MM > Purchasing > Account Assignment > Define Combination of Item Categories/Account Assignment Categories > If you have created new account categories, you maintain the combinations for the item categories here.
SPRO > MM > Purchasing > Account Assignment > Set Subscreen for Account Assignment (Coding) Block
Activities: -
1. Check whether the standard SAP subscreens meet all your requirements.
2. Create new subscreens if necessary.
3. If necessary, change the priority or the active indicator for the preset subscreens.
SPRO > MM > Purchasing > Account Assignment > Assign Default Values for Asset Class > In this step, you can specify a default asset class for each material group. If you then order a material from the material group and create an asset for the purchase order, the system will insert this default value.

PO release strategy based on Account Assignment Cat (CEKKO - KNTTP)

Hi Experts,
I want to configure the release strategy for PO on account assignment category.when i maintaining a characteristic for account assignment cat by inputing CEKKO- KNTTP , sys throughs error message. I looked in to CEKKO but I could not find the field .Kindly tel how maintain teh same .
Regards,
Kumar.

Hi Kumar,
Account Assignment Category and Item Category belong to the item level and not to the header level of a purchase order (table EKPO). Therefore,   neither Account Assignment Category nor Item Category are available in CEKKO.As work-around you can use the following user-exit:
MM06EF0S_STRATEGIE_CEKKO
(enhancement M06E0004, EXIT_SAPLEBND_002, ZXM06U22).
In this user-exit the data are available in structure I_CEKKO.   The hand-over from I_CEKKO to the calling program is via structure E_CEKKO.   In the user-exit I_CEKKO has to be copied to E_CEKKO , e.g.
E_CEKKO = I_CEKKO.
Please also see our FAQ note 365604, it is worth reading.

GR-Non valuated flag is checked when using Order as account assignment Cat

Hi,
We are creating a Purchase Req using a Work order, but under the valutaion tab GR-non Valuated is checked and greyed out so the user can't uncheck it. I want user to select just the Goods Receipt Check but not GR-Non Val.
I already chekced the configuration in OME9 and both are not checked . Also we are not using multiple accout assignment there is only one account assignment element which is that Work order number.
please advice...
thank you!

what is the account assignment category in your PR? if it is coming as checked by default then somebody must have ticked it in SPRO-MM-Pur-account assignment-Maintain Account assignment categories---there select your relevant account assignment category and you will see GR Non Val indicator TICKED, if you don't want it to be dafult in PR , remove it.
But first check why it has been ticked there , it is possible that based on business need all servies / stock purchase under that acnt *** cat need not to be valuated.

Alternative for account assignment cat F

Hi Experts
In standard system, the account assignment for general is configured as F.
I wish to use different account determination for project material and services.
Is it OK if i change this standard AAC 'F' with N or any customized one with dedicated account modifier? I am convinced but looking for experts comments.
I do not understand why the cat 'F' is given in stead of standard 'N'.
Warm regards
ramSiva

In the older versions F was available for all order categories mostly 20 (networks) and 30 (maintenance) - however in subsequent versions N was made available
There is no reason why you cannot configure your own

Dear,
Did you also experience the following?
We are at the following step in the scenario:
Supplier confirms production progress =>Manufacturingworkorderproductionprogressnotification XML is generated => POST component consumption is executed in the R/3 system (ECC 6 EHP4).
We see the following problems after posting the component consumption
-     table EKBE_SC is not filled
-     in transaction kkf3 => CO production order => no booking/posting of progress
-     Component consumption is reflected in an outbound delivery with movement type 543, but it is missing the link with the purchase order+item (see screenshot below) => as a result any post issue booking is not possible.
Thanks for your help.

Cost center not committed on shopping cart, for account assign cat "Asset"

Hello,
We are implementing extended classic scenario in SRM 5.0 with ECC 6.0 backend.
While creating a shopping cart in SRM, in the cost assignment tab when we select an account assignment category as Asset", and then try to enter a value in the cost center in the basic details of cost assignment, it is not getting committed to shopping cart screen. The cost center field value is lost when we move to the next screen for ordering the shopping cart. For the asset related purchases, we are using main account assignment category as "asset" and it also requires cost center, because while the asset master record is being created in R/3 for these items,it requires the cost center. We also using internal order. So for the account assignment category "Asset", the other account assignment fields that can be entered are cost center, internal order and one custom field called "project code".
We have created this user-defined field in the cost assignment tab in the shopping cart, purchase order and confirmation documents in SRM in accordance with the OSS note 672960. We have implemented BBP_CUF_BADI_2 & BBP_DOC_CHANGE_BADI, BBP_DOC_CHECK_BADI for the shopping cart object.
Can someone please help me with this issue?
Thanks,
Krupa

thanks Ramakrishna and Yann for your prompt reply..
Ramakrisha,
I know that for assets, SC requires asset number and G/L is automatically derived from the corresponding asset class from the backend. In our case, we are putting dummy asset number in shopping cart and this asset number exists in R/3. But we are not generating asset creation during shopping cart creation but we are doing it during the PO creation in doc change badi. During this asset generation you also need cost center on the asset record. So we have added cost center field for Asset account assignment category and I can see it in the details of account assignment. But when I enter this cost center on shopping cart, it doesnot get committed, it disappears when I order the shopping cart.
Does anybody have any clue why this might be happening?
Thanks,
Krupa

Not able to change delivery address in PO having account assignment cat M

Hi All
We have a scenario where we are creating SO then a PR is getting created from this SO and finally buyer is converting Preq in to PO (account assignment is M as it is against a customer order), now by default the delivery address in PO is coming to that of customer address , but we want to change this delivery address to that of a location where some assembly work will be done. But system is not allowing us to change the delivery address, as soon as we change the address system overwrites it with the original customer address.
Please provide your valuable inputs.
regards
Yogesh

Thanks Jurgen for providing the OSS information though still as per the note Delivery address field should be in display mode but we are able to edit the delivery address but after pressing the "Enter" key system overwrites it with the original customer address. Anyways point is we can not change the delivery address in PO in such case.
Now I am worried how to handle the below scenario , it would be great if you can provide some inputs.
Our client is selling big equipments to customers and an equipment consists of many components. Now when a customer order comes , sales team punches the SO in the system where BOM explosion happens and it creates Preq (because all components needs to be delivered to customer, 3 PDS situation), Buyer converts Preq into PO (account assignment M and there comes SO info under account assignment in item details of The PO).
All the components under an equipment comes from different supplier but for some compeonents instead of direct shipment to customer we need them at an isolated location where some assembly work will be done and that assemled thing will be then delivered to Customer. So to communicate to the supplier that the component needs to be dlivered at some other location and not to the customer location I was trying to change the delivery address as by default for such orders customer address comes in the PO.
Any pointers how to map this business sceneraio.
regards
Yogesh

PR Release Strategy for Account assignment cat "U"

Is it possible to set up release strategy for Acct assignment Cat "U" - if yes, How would it be configured? additionally we are also setting up Rel str for acct assign cat K and A - specific question is relative to "U" in addition to K and A.
Other parameters being used are
pur Org
Doc type
cost center
Total value
Thanks for the help in advance
Raj

Dear Raj,
When you creating PR with acct assignment U, the acct. assignment tab will not appear, thus
you not able to enter cost center. You may try this workaround via customizing.
a) You may define a <BLANK> value for the cost center in customizing and assign it to your release strategy.
Characteristic:
Cost Center:
Value    Desc:
1000     1000
2000      2000
                <BLANK>
b) You may use user exit EXIT_SAPLEBND_001 and pass the dummy cost center to get the release strategy
determine.

Account assignment cat M

Hi
Any one can give me details about Account assignment category M
Raju

Hi Raju,
i am sorry to say this, but i feel that there may be some typo mistake in the question that you have asked.
just for clarification, i am asking whether do you want to know about the Account Assignment category M or Item Category M.
Normally standard account assignment categories are A, K, P, F, C, U, etc. & standard Item Categories are <blank>, B, K, L, M<material unknown>, D, etc.
In case you are asking regarding the Account assignment category M, then i am sorry, as that must have been defined specifically to your requirements. Hence you need to check the details in the configurations of account assignment category (IMG>Materials Management>Purchasing>Account Assignement>Maintain Account Assignment Categories .. select the AAC M & fo to details)
But in the other case, Standard Item Category M is used for entering items without specifying the material number.
Item category M is recommended for similar materials with the same price but with differing material numbers.
Consider a contract item for different types of office paper. The various types of paper have the same weight, quality, and price. However, they differ in the following respects: One type is lined, another is unlined, and another has two holes on the left side for filing purposes.
How Do You Use Item Category M?
In the case of items of category M, you enter the short text (short description), target quantity, unit of measure, and price. As soon as a contract release order is created, the material number or a short text is entered (e.g. the exact type of paper, say, two-hole punched). The system determines the net price on the basis of the gross price entered, less any discounts.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Zafar.

Error while creating a PO with Account assignment

HI MM Gurus
In our case, we need to create the STO for account assignment cat `Unknown`.
In SPRO I maintained combination of account assign cat and item cat.
Now, while creating a PO with Account assign U we get Error message - ME069 :Unknown account assignment not defined for use here.
Please advise how to resolve this issue.

Hi
When you are posting actuals, you need to give true account assignment object. With U (unknown), system cannot identify which account to be posted. Change account assignment in PO to another.
In standard SAP Unknown account assignment is not allowed in PO's. Only exception is Blanket PO.
Unknown is allowed only in PR and Blanket PO.
The reason is logically you are releasing the PO to the external vendor or Plant in this case you must know the account assignment.

Account Assignment Category for third party process.

Hi ,
I would like to use different account assignment category for third party process. This account assignment cat must be assigned at the sales order itself. Is there any config for this.
Kindly help me.
Ram.

You can create new account assignment category for 3rd party process by copying existing std one 2 in configuration under MM - Purchasing - Account assignment - maintain account assignment category
You can assign your own set of control for account assignment based on requirement.
SAP use TAS item catgory in 3rd Sales order which is linked to Pur Req account assignment catgory 2.If you are defining own account assignment catgory than you need to config set-up with TAS sales order item catgory.
Hope above details will help to move further...sanjay karkun

Account Assignment category -F

Dear Friends,
what is the actual function of account assignment category -F (Order)
I am purchasing Asset and inserting Account assignment cat- F (actualy this is wrong ,but clenit is saying that earlier MM consultant has suggested this, so i need to give justification , how it is wrong . or if it is right then i have to solve following error)
error- still contain fauly account assignment .
please suggest me solution.
Regards,
Mahesh.

Hi,
The account assignment category determines:
The nature of the account assignment (Asset, order, and so on) . Which accounts are to be charged when the incoming invoice or goods receipt is posted . Which account assignment data you must provide.
Fir order (F) Required account assignment data is Order and G/L account number and for asset Main asset number and sub-number. Hence if you select F, the accounts pertaining to order will trigger. This is relateed to production. If asset selected, the accounts for asset will trigger. Another thing is account modification key will be blank in asset whereas in order account modification key will be there. I hope this will give you clarity. Thanking you.

Account assignment category in Schedule lines

Hi,
There is a field called "account assignment category " in schedule line configuration. What is the relevance of this field ?
For instance if account assignment category in schedule lines is "K", it means cost centre. What it means ?. does it means some data flows from sales order to a cost centre or for instance if account assignment cat is Y, it means third party purchase. does it mean some values flow from purchase orderes to sales orders ??
Could somebody explain in detail the functionality in detail.
regards
sachin

Hi,
You are going in the right direction,
This is related to SD - MM config regarding the default account assignment category in PO.
By maintaining the various account assignment categoy in schedule line you can default it in PO.
The account assignment category decides the cost collector for the PO and also defines the type of process that is being run.

ashish
