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.

  • 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

    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?

  • 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.

  • Account Assignment Category in Rework Order for non valuated material

    Friends,
    We created non valuated material for rework. I want to accumulate the rework cost. When i am trying in CO02 = Header = Settlement Rule where the category is MAT but I want it to be ORD.
    How that category is changed to ORD, so that I can able to accumulate cost with respect to order?

    Hi,
    Whether you are creating the rework order with material? Actually rework order is supposed to be created without material with transaction CO07. Here in this case you have to define the account assignment category ORD in settlement rule.
    In some cases to meet the requirement we can create the rework order with material also through transaction CO01/CO08, but in this case the account assignment category will be MAT by default. Therefore you cannot change it to ORD.
    Hence you need to create rework order to have account assignment category ORD w/o material only.

  • Invalid account assignment category for Service order

    Hi Experts,
    We upgrade in ECC. I suppose this topic is linked to this one. See more detail below.
    On a repairing flow, central alerts by a complaint from customer. Operator creates a Repair request, next receive the broken machine (VRRE + VL02N). A inspection lot is automatically generated. When operator takes Usage decision, customizing allow to create a Service order according to the right UD code.
    My issue is on this place. When operator take the usage decision, SAP displays the error message "Invalid account assignment category".
    Data in standard customizing are missing in "Define account assignment cat. and document type for purchase requisitions". Only "Acct. Assgmnt Cat. Gen." is filled with "F" value (Order). 3 other are blank. If I tryed to save, SAP rejected and asked for values.
    If I check in SAP help, SAP indicates that we don't have to change these values if new types of categorie are not customized. Also SAP detailled the right values. What is strange is that the flow is running without these values in production. Test in development environnement block the flow and the creation of the Service order.
    Have you already heard some strange behavior like this one ?
    Moreover if you have more detail on the impact on this customizing, I'm very interesting, and also the good way to solve this issue will be great.
    Thanks a lot for your precious help.

  • Account assignment category in production order

    Hi all,
    When I create a production order, the account assignment category coming is OIT - Order Item where as it should be MAT because in order type dependent parameters - distribution rule - Production Mat.Full settlement, is maintained.  Is there any setting missing from production side if any?
    Regards,
    Yogesh

    Hi,
    If you are using a nonvaluated sales order stock, you can only use full settlement for the manufacturing orders assigned to a sales order item. At the end of the period, the costs are settled from the manufacturing orders assigned to the sales document item.The inventory values are calculated on the sales document item when you perform results analysis. You then settle the inventory values calculated in results analysis to Financial Accounting and Profit Center Accounting.
    Please check strategy group of the material and settlement profile.

  • 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.
    Edited by: johnmiller465 on Aug 21, 2009 8:32 AM

    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.

  • Purchase order creation - Account assignment group C (Sales Order)

    Hello Gurus
      During the purchase order creation in Me21N, account assignment category C (sales order) is available. In which scenario we will use it. When I assign C system is asking for a GL account. Why system needs a GL account, and how the posting will be at the time of goods receipt. Thanks for your help in advance.

    Hi,
    Creation of Purchase Order with t.code: ME21N  with account assignment category C (sales order) is used for Time and Material Expenses with third party scenario and you need to enter sales order number and respective G/L account . In this scenario 1st a  sales order is created with a material( material created DIEN material type) & then purchase order created with respect to sales order.
    Here you provide service to your customer and this service you procure from your vendor, you just play middle role  for providing and getting service.Standard DIEN material type designed for Sales usage only, so you create sales order  for service material.Service master is used to get service from vendor with item category D with proper account assignment category as C
    Example:
    Material type DIEN is used for when you offer "SERVICE" to your customer.( The steps are (VA01,VF01,VF04,F-28), If u used HR module( you can used with sales order with t.codes are: CAT2,CATS_APPR_LITE,CAT7,PR05,PRRW,PRFI)
    Service Master records(AC01)ESM is used when you procure "SERVICE" from your vendor.( Steps are: ME21N with Item Cat. "D" with Acc. ***. Cat. "C", ML81N,MIRO & F-53).

  • 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

    HI all,
    I am getting same error in RZ20
    Instance POXXXXX of object type PurchaseOrder cou ld not be changed
    Purchase order still contains faulty items
    Account assignment category cannot be changed for limit items
    PO is created with service item and it is in backend.
    When it is changed it is giving error. User is added contract no# on change version.
    Could you please share the solution...

    sometimes sap throws unwanted error messages. these are example notes
    415346  ME21n, ME456 when filling the account assignment type
    411883  ME21N, ME456 when filling the account assignment category
    403537  PO from PReq with different account assignment type: E456
    Using Transaction ME21N,you create a purchase order for external service and add a new item by copying a request for quotation. If the request for quotation does not have a plant, when you enter the assignment category, the system displays error message ME456 "Account assignment category cannot be changed for limit items". Also there is no account assignment change involved.

  • 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 PO’s, 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.

    Thanks

    What is solution for my requirement. Is it possible with some configuration or by other options.
    Thanx & Regards
    Swati Shah

    Hi Swati,
    You can do this in Asset Accounting. By standard MIGO Posting Date is taken as capitalization date for asset. You can configure to make it 'Document Date'.
    So, whenever user is posting thru MIGO, he will have better control on deciding capitalization date by inputting appropriate date in Document Date Field in MIGO.

  • 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.
