Account assignment category Asset to Cost Center in po items

Hey,
We have a Question how to handle this Exception:
We have purchase order items with the account assignment category "A - Asset" and we have created Asset master data. Later, this assignment category is changed to "K - Cost Center". But the Asset Master Data is still there.
How to handle this in the future? Do we have to delete the purchase order items with the account assignment category "A - Asset" and have to create new items with assignment category "K - Cost Center"?
Thanks!

Hi
Once you change the acct assnment category to K, then there is no need for asset master. You can take help of your FICO consultant for deleting the asset master. You changed acct assnment in PO?
Thanks

Assign Account assignment category to multiple cost centers in SRM

Hi All,
We are Implementing SRM 5.5, Extended Classic Scenario for Goods and Services (Stock and Consumables).
I have 400 cost centers. How to assign G/L Accounts to multiple cost centers, in Define G/L Accounts for Account assignment category and Product category?.
I guess, By using BADI - BBP_DETERMINE_ACCT. If this is correct, Do we have to develop any ZTABLE for this. Or only BADI enough?.
Please anyone explain details.
Thanks in Advance.
Thanks & Regards,
John.

Hi,
Cost Center is related with user. Setting is attributes in PPOMA_BBP.
G/L account is related with Product category and Account Assignment Category. Setting is in standard customizing table.
If standard customizing is not enough, you can use BBP_DETERMINE_ACCT BADI.

What is the different between account assignment P Project & K Cost center?

Hi ,
I need to raise a PR and PO for repairing damge of our Project's Product.
In this stituation, I should create PR with account assigment P (Project) or K (Cost center)?
Thanks

Hi,
Material are procured as stock or non-stock materials. When you procure material which can be used in production of finished product ,stock is maintained.
Account assignment category describes how the procured material is being used (for eg: Cost Center, Sales Order, etc). It also determines how the accounting entries made when a GR document or IR document is posted.
When you use the Account Assignment Category "K", it means the material is allocated to a cost center for consumption. The Materials is accounted to the particular cost center.
Account Assignment Category "P" is used for materials that are required for the project related.
Hope it helps.

Error with Account Assignment Category

Hi,
While Creating the PO I am getting this error. I just copied the Material type of ROH into Consumables..
In OMS2 alos I ticked Qty and Value based Updating..
The Error Msg is...
Account assignment mandatory for material RH1001 (enter acc. ***. cat.) Message no. ME062
Diagnosis
There is no provision for value-based inventory management for this material type in this plant. Account assignment is thus necessary.
Procedure
Please enter an account assignment category.
Rgs,
Priya.

Sorry for my earlier Post.....
Actually for Consumable Material Quantity and Value Updations Should not be Active since they consume Once it is Goods Receipted.
Regarding your Issue Purchase Order for Consumable Material will be always Created with an Account assignment Category Such as Cost center Etc.
So Please go to OMS2 Trxn Code and Select your Consumable Material type and in Quantity / Value Update Field Put tick mark against In No Valuation areas and save.
Now Create a Purchase Order in ME21N with Account assignment Category and Proceed.

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

Multiple account assignment category for one line item in PO

Dear Experts,
We are on SRM 5.0 ECS
One line item of a PO has multiple account assignment category with the cost distribution for
1. Cost Center - 50%
2. Order - 50%
Is it possible?
As per my understanding one line item in a PO can have only one account assignment category
Regards
Mick

Hi,
Yes it is possible by Po line item.
Just go to transaction bbp_poc through the web interface.
Select your PO
Select your line item PO.
goto the account assignment tab (item overview)
you get a cost distribution field in percentage
then you get a cost distribution button : click it and you get several lines where now you can split your 100% in as many lines as you want.

Account Assignment Category in VOV6

People,
Can any one explain the meaning of Account Assignment category in VOV6. Found some answers on Google but were not explaining the real use of it. Can any one use a real scenario to explain the answer
Ahmed

Two things,
1. Why VOV6 has account Assignment Category?
Ans. Sometimes, in order to fulfill Sales Order we need to do external procurement (PR). Especially when we are not manufacturing it. We can differentiate between different Purchase process on the basis of the combination of Item Category and Account Assignment Category. Thats why VOV6 contains both Item Category and Account Assignment Category
2. What is the use of Account Assignment Category?
Ans. Every PO raised by an user is a cost to the company. If we raise a PO we should know who is accountable (which department) and hence the G/L account to which cost will be booked against. Account assignment category is used for this purpose. With this we can display fields in PO like Sales Order, Cost Center, Internal Order etc.

Can anyone plz give the exact difference between account assignment category and Item category
Thanks inadvance

Hi,
Account Assignment Category: 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 data (e.g. cost center, account number, etc.) is required for the item.
Item category: Identifier indicating the characteristics of an item. The item category determines whether the following are necessary or allowed with regard to an item:
Material number, Additional account assignment, Inventory management in the R/3 System, Goods receipt, Invoice receipt.

Neelu

Hi
Thanks all of you for your valuable input.
In MM they had already created release strategy on the bassis of Purchase group, Account assignemnt category, material group and value and they dont want to change the release startegy.
Account assignment category K (cost center) is subject to diffrent release strategy and account assigment category F(PM/CO Order) is subject to diffrent relese startegy.
When i creat a PR from investment order or capital order its picks account assignment F by default.
But when i craete a PR from general maitenance order it should pick the account assigmnet category "K".

GR going to wrong GL account for PO Item with Account Assignment Category M

Hi Experts,
I need some help on GR posting for PO Item with M as AAC.
PO1 for material ABC with M as Account Assignment Category, when I book GR for this Item, the GL document generated as below.
Dr: PRD (Cost Price Differences)
Cr: WRX (GR/IR)
The material ABC price control is "S" and already have standard cost.
For another material DEF which have ascetically same master data as ABC and got a similar PO2 with M as Account Assignment Category.
But the GR document as below.
Dr: BSX (Inventory)
Cr: WRX (GR/IR)
How can be one same setting got so different results, is there any data in Material or PO make these differences?
Actually the results for material DEF is what we want, how could I avoid the GR results for material ABC.
Thanks~

Thanks you Mukthar,
I have checked all the information and porcess for both material and did a lot of testing in testing system.
Here is what I found.
Case
Material ABC SO: 1111 PO: 6666 (ACC:M)
Material DEF SO:2222 PO: 7777(ACC:M)
All the information in material mast data, SO, PO are the same.
The differences is that:
PO:6666 post GR before Material ABC's standard price release. So the first GR document as below
Dr: PRD (Cost Price Differences)
Cr: WRX (GR/IR)
This is correct document without material stand cost.
The problem we reverse the fist GR document, release standard cost for Material ABC. Then re-do the GR. but the GL document still book into PRD instead of BSX.
If I create a new SO:3333 and PO:8888 (with ACC M) for material ABC now.
The GR could be book into BSX.
It seem like once the PO got GR with 0 standard cost, even I relesed a new price for the material and re do the GR, it still take the previous 0 cost to book inventory which make all the amount into PRD.
Quite Strange

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.

PO with account assignment category K and use two cost center

Dear Experts
When I create a PO with account assignment category K and use two cost center in the account assigment tab of PO with the same GL or with different GL in the both line item, The FI document does not get posted.
Any input on this please.
Regards
Paul

Hi,
Check in the PO document - Item level - Delivery tab
There are two indicators
1. Good receipt
2. GR non-valuated.
If you are giving only one cost centre, only GR check box active and GR non-valuated check box is in-active. That's why System creating FI document during GR.
If you are giving two cost centres, Both GR check box and GR non-valuated check box are active. That's why System is not creating any FI documents during GR.

ASSET CODE FOR ACCOUNT ASSIGNMENT CATEGORY IN PURCHASE ORDER.

Sir,
greetings!!!
here is a procedure we follow...
We create asset code(AS01) for capital items. when createing Capital purchase order for the item, we give A as asset for assignment category which then asks for asset code in acc assignment cat tab. this is a general process.
Now problem is that I want the field of account assignment category in PO item tab to be automatically populated with the asset code at the time when I put the material and plant i.e capital item.
Is it possible.
What is happening is that the user while creating PO is not at all selecting correct asset code with reference to capital item, that has a huge effect on asset accounting..
please provide

Hello,
As such there is no standard thing available, but there is one thing that you can do, that is
Create a PO document type for Assets and for that document type allow only account assignment A and delete rest including standard account assignment that is blank.
This way, once a person choose the document type for Assets, he will have to give the account assignment A.
