Account assignment category in Auto created PO from shipment cost document

Hi
During shipment cost settlement PO generation is mandatory .
In the configuration of Shipment cost item category I have taken Account Assingment Category as K
When PO is created automatically the Acct Assignment Category taken is U which is grayed out .
I want to know why does system propose U in PO
If i want to change the default value proposed by the system in PO from U to M where is the setting done
Can you please suggest a solution
Thanks and Regards
Sunil Iyer

Please read OSS note 506605.
It seems that accout assignment "U" is hard coded in case of PO created from shipment cost document and you can define your own rule via "EXIT_RV54POCR_007".

For automatic Generation of Purchase Order
SPRO > Logistics Execution > Transport > Shipment Costs > Shipment Cost Document > Shipment Cost Types and Item Categories > Define item Categories (T_56)
   In the Generate PO, Enter one of A, B, C.
       Do not generate purchase order
A    Generate purchase order for validity period of 1 day
B    Generate purchase order for validity period of 1 week
C    Generate purchase order for validity period of 1 month
For assigning posting in G/L Accounts
SPRO > Logistics Execution > Transport > Shipment Costs > Shipment Cost Document > Shipment Cost Types and Item Categories > Assign shipment cost types and item categories
Based on the item category created before, assign the valuation class.
Assign the Valuation class to the Shipment header or leg (whichever is planned for ) and the item category you created before.
Assigning the Shipment cost type to the shipment type
SPRO > Logistics Execution > Transport > Shipment Costs > Shipment Cost Document > Shipment Cost Relevance and Default for Shipment Cost Type (T_57)
Assign the Shipment cost type to the Shipment type and mark it as relevant for shipment cost.
Checking the assignment of G/L Accounts to the Valuation Class
SPRO > Logistics Execution > Transport > Shipment Costs > Settlement > Automatic G/L Account Determination
Select the Account Assignment - GBB - Enter the Chart of Accounts - Check if VBR was assigned the G/L accounts for the Valuation class you specified before.

Create purchase order from shipment cost document

Hi Experts,
I would like to know how a purchase order type is linked to a shipment cost document so as to create purchase orders automatically when I do transfer posting to the vendor from the shipment cost document. How system automatically finds out the PO type and creates purchase order.
Thanks,
Emaya

Hi,
Thanks. I have made all those mentioned changes already, and infact I am able to create purchase orders(PO Type NB) automatically when I do transfer posting, but I would like to know, why NB type only? why not some other purchase order types? Suppose if I create a new PO type by copying NB with new number ranges, how to link it to my shipment cost document?
Please comment.
Regards,Emaya

Free PO with shipment costs from shipment cost document

Hello,
We have a scenario where materials is received free from vendor but shipments costs are still paid to the vendor.
For shipment costs, we are creating inbound delivery against PO, then Inbound shipment and inbound shipment cost document.
The requirement is that shipment costs should get updated in Moving avg price.
But If I am marking Purchase order as Free, shipment costs are also not getting updated during GR as system also considers shipments free of charge.
Is there a way to handle this problem.
We are creating GR through vl32n and not through MIGO.
Regards
Karan

Hi,
You can try this solution.
1.Do not tick the free indicator
2.Create a condition type for discount and put 100% discount for that condition.
3.Create a condition type for shipment as a value (delivery cost) without accruals tick in the codition type(customizing).
4.Enter the shipment cost for this condition.
5.Set the pricing procedure in such a way that the gross price of the PO will not consider this shipment cost.Hence the gross price of the PO will be zero (Free of cost) but the net price will consider the shipment cost.
This shipment cost will get loaded on to inventory.
As you have defined the shipment condition type as delivery cost condition type , you can change the vendor in details of the condtion if required.
Cheers,

Account Assignment category in Limit order confirmations in SRM 4.0

Hello
We are using SRM 4.0 in extended classic scenario.
When entering the confirmations for limit orders in SRM, users add the limit/ service items.
After SP14 recently, the " account assignment category" is not set in the added lines , same as the
PO .
Rather the account assignment category is the first one from the available list.
Any suggestions / notes for this issue?
Regards
Kedar

Hi,
1. In customising (SPRO) in R/3 you need to create the corrpesponding account assignment category with the relevant fields specified.
2. In customising (SPRO) in SRM you need to create the new account assignment category and specify it as active plus the backend system reference. You can then assign the cost assignment types that are applicable and those that are mandatory.
I haven't got access to a system at the minute so can't give you the menu paths in customising but for R/3 it is under Materials Management > Purchasing and then look for Account Assignment. For SRM it is in Cross Application Components and then look for Account Assignment.

Chris

Profit Center in Create PO w/o Account Assignment Category

Hi SAP Experts,
Still related to my previous post re: display of the Profit Center field in the PO create screen without Account Assignment Category. Have looked into the SAP HELP ECC 6.0 on why is it not part of the "Maintain AAC" but to no avail.
Please explain the following for my understanding:
1) Why is the <blank> AAC for no acct assignment cat is not in the maintain AAC in SPRO in ECC6.0?
2) If this is standard in ECC6.0, how can I add a new entry in Maintain AAC that will also behave as the <blank> AAC (no AAC)?
Your help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Melanie

Hi Melanie,
1. The simple answer is that Acc assignment cat is mandatory , so if we filled with blank then the system wont allow it
2. Blank acc assigment mean not acc assignment need for the Transaction so you cannot set a blank acc assigmment which behave like an exist acc assigment.
Sorry , not mean to harass , but its seem not possible. Maybe you need to think for another workaround for your requirement.

Purchase order and Account assignement category- Change

hi.,
We are trying to receive the Purchase order of High value components into INVENTORY.
However, most of these Purchase Orders were created with account assignments.
Because of that, if we receives these POs, they will be consumed against the object identified in the account assignment.
Additionally, some of these have been invoiced already and would need to be backed out from the finance side.
Question: How can we receive these STO Purchase orders and then make changes through Movement type ( or any other way ) so that the HIgh Value Components that are consumed against that AC assignment can be subsequently moved into Invenotory.
Also, what are the other options ( FI will not open Previous period) so that the PO's which have been invoiced can be reversed against that AC assignment.
Thanks All

hi Rajesh.,
As mentioned earlier, these Purchase orders are STO's which have been already created and we are waiting to do the GR for the same. Items in the STO PO are of High value which we need to bring into INVENTORY.
But, because these STO PO's were created with account assignments, if we do GR now, they will be consumed against the object identified in the account assignment.
Some of these STO PO's have been invoiced already and FI has indicated that they could cancel the invoices for those STO PO's in previous posting period.
Question again : How can we receive these STO Purchase orders and then make changes through Movement type ( or any other way ) so that the HIgh Value Components that are consumed against that AC assignment can be subsequently moved into Inventory and not to a cost Center (202)
Step (1) Can we cancel the Invoiced items> reverse the GR for invoiced Items>reverse STO for PO ?
Step (2) Can we reverse the STO for PO for which GR has not been done? then
Step (3) Change the PO through ME22N, remove the Account assignment category?
Or how do we correct this situation for
(1) PO's already invoiced.
(2) PO for which GR has not been made. How can we receive them into Stock and not Cost center.
Anticipating a reply
Thanks

How to make default account assignment category in planned order?

Scneario Description:
1. Sales order for a configurable parent item is created in ERP & order BOM is changed & transferred to APO. In APO MRP run takes place for that parent item, which creates a planned order with account assignment category "M" (M:Individual Customer w/o KD-CO.
2. Now based on the dependant requirement generated for parent item, MRP takes place for one of the child item in ERP & purchase requisition gets created for child item.
Question:
1. Can anybody help me how i can make default account assignment as "F" (F:Order) in the planned order of parent item?
2. PR created for child item also has default account assignment category as "M". we wish to change that to "F".
Thanks & best regards
Hemchandra & Sandeep Mandhana

Hi V. Suresh,
The account assignment category maintained in the requirement class for parent item is 'M'.
No account assignment category maintained has been maintained in the requirement class Semi-finished component (this component is sent for subcontracting).
The business process is as follows:
1. Create Sales Order for Parent say ME_PARENT.
2. Order BOM for ME_PARENT is created and subsequently cifed to APO.
3. PP/DS heuristic is run for ME_PARENT.
4. MRP for component ME_COMP is run in ERP.
It can be seen that purchase requistion for ME_COMP has a/c assgn category as 'M'. It seems that the ME_COMP has inherited 'M' from ME_PARENT.
We would like to have no a/c assgn category for ME_COMP.
Any pointers?
Regards,
Sandeep

Ability to modify Account Assignment Category for Service Item Categories

Dear experts,
Our customer has a requirement to modify the account assignment category when the item category is set to "D" services on a PR and PO line item. This scenario is specific to indirect procurement scenarios in SAP ECC 6.0 MM.
End users may potentially create a PR against a service item category with an incorrect account assignment category. These PRs are created using free form text. No service master exists in these scenarios. During the approval process or during PO creation, an approver or the buyer may need to correct the account assignment category. The account assignment category is "display" only and cannot be modified when the item category is set to "D". The user must delete the line item and create a new line item with the correct account assignment category. The copy function cannot be used because the account assignment copies from the existing line and cannot be modified.
Any recommendations to this issue using standard SAP configuration solutions?
Thanks,
Jennifer

Item Category to Account Assignment Category combination is already configured. For Service Item Category, we have three account assignment categories configured. All three categories are valid in different scenarios. Sometimes the user selects the incorrect account assignment category (out of the three available) depending on the business scenario. PT9F configuration is already set to Account Assignment category "optional". However, the account assignment category still cannot be modified on the PR when the item category is "D" service.
Any other recommendations?

G/L account defaulting in purchase order with account assignment category.

Hello Gurus,
when creating a purchase order item with account assignment category - E, system is defaulting G/L account in account assignment tab for that item.
We have material group defined for this material in material master.
Please help me in finding why this is happening and from where this G/L account value is considered.
regards,
Steve.

Hi,
Ckeck in KA01 and that particular GL Acct. might be assigned to cost element.
For eg if the G/L account is 400000 in that account on top in menu you will find edit cost element .so check in wether it is maintained.
once check and reply.
Check in OKB9 whether g/l account and cost centre is maintained for your company code.

Account assignment category F not showing in PR & PO for stock material.

Dear All,
I have created one breakdown maintenance order in that i have planned one stock (L) material, for this reservation is created.
Then i have run mrp by using tcode md03 for that material.......pr is generated.
Now when i am going to convert this pr into po, system dosen't show account assignment category for this pr as "F"
Also when i see in change pr tcode me52n.........._system dosen't show account assignment category as "F"_
Actually system must show account assignment cateory as* "F" in pr & while converting pr to po.*
How i can resolved this issue. Any config setting is to be done kindly give the step by step procedure.
Thanks & Regards,
Sandeep

Hi,
When you select L stock Item that means the material will come under stock at stores. And then goods issue will be done against your reservation.
Coming to account assigned PR as F order then when GR is done agaist PO the material is directley isued to the order. From MRP system only checks agaist that material what the requirement and what is available stock, if short fall exists then it will generate PR with out any account assignment based on material master setting.
For ex if for the same material requirement has come from 4 orders then which order no system will consider to generate a PR.
Hope it is helpful.

N.Nagaraju
