Account assignment category -- SERVICES?!

Hello gurus!
Basically my problem is that I don´t want to introduce any account assignment category in my purchase requisition item when I use SERVICE master code (material defined as a Service type)
Is it possible?
Thanks a lot,
David

Hello,
Thanks a lot for your tips.
I just only try to use my material service in my purchase requisition leaving the account category field as "empty" (without value)
...but as KANAKARAJ said and I agree with him...logically a service has to be posted as a direct cost. It is not an inventory material. He is right!
...but that why I ask you...if it is possible,
Thanks anyway

Problem with " Account assignment category"- Services

Hello expert,
I have a problem with the order positions type " D" (Services). At the moment that I indicate that value in the field " Item category in purchasing document" , the field " Account assignment category" he becomes gray, preventing that can be modified later. What could do so that this field is modifiable in the future?
Thank you!!

hi
1. Go to Tcode- OMH4,
Maintain Acct assignment as "Possible" instead of not possible for Item Category "D"
2.Go to Tcode - OMG0
Here maintain Various Combinations of Item Category "D" and Account assignment Categories.
Then, Acct Assignment Category field in PO item overview will be open for Item Category "D".
Hope it helps,
Regards,
Rahul

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?

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.

Change account assignment category for services with ME22N

Dear guru ,
i have created a purchase order for a position with item category D(service) and account assignment category K(cost centre). I have inserted for the accounting view the cost center.
After the saving If I a try to change the purchase order position with ME22N the system donu2019t allow to change the account assignment category (F order instead of K).
I have verified that for other positions with account assignment category K(cost centre) but for Item category blank(standard) the system allow to change the account assignment category if not exist goods receipt or invoice.
Whatu2019s the problem about services ?
Thanks

Hi,
Usually the Account assigned PO's are fixed with Account assignment, you cann't modify the account assignment once it is saved.
It depends on the IMG settings for Account assignment category.
Check the following IMG Settings
SPROMMPurchasingAccount assignment-Maintain account assignment categories
Here check for "K" --Costcentre in the detailed information if the checkbox at Acct assignment changable then only you can modify the Account assignment category modification in PO, otherwise not possible.

Account assignment category for Service Confirmations

Hi,
We are on SRM_SERVER 550, SP11, SAP 4.7 backend.
While performing Service confirmations in SRM, the Account assignment category defaulted is different from that mentioned in shopping cart.
for e.g. If I create a shopping cart for a Service item with Account assignment category as "K - Expense" and on creation of PO when I try doing confirmation, the Account assignment category defaulted is for "Asset - Z", on the confirmation screen.
Please let me know how this issue can be resolved.
Note: In SRM PO and R/3 PO, the Account assignment category displayed is "K", same as that mentioned in shopping cart.
Thanks,
Kiran

Yes, Requester can change the Accunt assignment category. But in our scenario, we need to display the same Accunt assignment category as that in shopping cart, as Requester/Central Recipient will do the confirmation directly without changing the Accunt assignment category, similar to Goods confirmation.
The issue is: How do we default the same Accunt assignment category in the Confirmation screen, which is present in shopping cart.

Block account assignment category in PR with service item category

Hello Gurus!
Is it possible to disble all account assignment category in PR when using service item category in PR? Only leaving "U" as possible option?
I see I do it in customizing under Define Combination of Item Categories/Account Assignment Categories by deleating all the combination but the D-U combination. However, this will affect also the PO documents.
Is there any other option?
Thanks,
Alejandro Es

Account assignment category for services with ME21N

Hello friends,
I have created a purchase order with account assignment category K(cost centre) and material xxxxx with material type UNBW non valuated materials.
But while doing GRN getting error, "ACCOUNT DETERMINATION FOR ENTRY xxxx KBS 0001 NOT POSSIBLE".
Can anyone suggest me in this.
Regards
Kiran Kumar

Hi,
KBS key is for consumption. Your Purchase Order is account assigned & you are entering cost center in the PO.Now you need to use OKB9 t.code & assign the G/L account to Cost center with your company code & save.
Now try ur transaction of MIGO.

Account assignement category for purchase requisition - error message

Hi All!
I created a new Item category in service order (IW31) "O" with the account assignment category "O". If I don't set the Consumption posting indicator to V for this category, when I set the account assignment category "O" to the purchase requisition in <i>Plant Maintenance and Customer Service-Maintenance and Service Processing-Maintenance and Service Orders-General Data-Define Account Assignment Category/Document Type for Purchase Requisitions</i>, I receive the message:
<b>"Acct. assign. cat. "O" for purchase req. does not exist.
Message no. CS 075"</b>
The client request is not to charge immediately for the goods receipt with the relevant costs the service order. The client wants to create the goods receipt in a storage location for the plant and then confirm the components and charge the costs after the component confirmation (movement type 261) - similar to stock material.
Any idea about what should I do?
Thank you.

Hi Everyone,
The problem is solved now. The cause was that the test requisition that I was making was satisfying more than one rules and hence I end dated the remaining rules which solved the problem.
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.
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.

Masa

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

Account assignment category K

For Service PO why system is asking for an G/L account and Costcenter if i select account assignment category K
Pls guide on this

Hi Sachein,
In SAP R/3 system, PO or PR item with u201CKu201D account assignment will need two additional data to be entered:
G/L Account number. We have to determine the expense G/L Account number that will be posted when we do GR (if the GR-non-valuated indicator was not set in the PO) or Invoice Receipt/IR (if the GR-non-valuated indicator was set in the PO). Usually, companies post different expense into different G/L Account, such as: employee salaries expense, cost of raw materials, administration expense, marketing expense, etc.
Cost Center. Cost center determines which group or department of a company that will be charged the expenses occurred when we do GR (if the GR-non-valuated indicator was not set in the PO) or Invoice Receipt/IR (if the GR-non-valuated indicator was set in the PO) in term of budgeting process (in SAP Controlling/CO module).

Is it Possible to budget check the posting of GR without account assignment category

Hi,
Is it Possible to check the posting of GR without account assignment category....
Regards
Purna

Hi Raja,
I may agree and I may not agree with it.The availability control checks only in the case of an increase in the assigned value-see Note 783161.Also check Note 46209, 69362
( For Ex 1. inclusion of tax code in MIRO will give rise to assigned budget hence AVAC action.)
Also,excerpts from Note 1424698:
The availability control is active against the overall budget for an order. The overall budget amounts to USD 1,000; assignments have not yet been posted:
Current Budget
Assigned
Overall
1000 USD
0 USD
The tolerance limits of the availability control are defined in such a way that if there is more than 100% budget depletion, the system should issue an error message:
Transaction group
Activity
Usage
++ (all)
3 (error)
100%
A purchase order of 700 EUR is posted. At the time of the purchase order, this is converted to 950 USD. The
assigned value is updated accordingly:
Current Budget
Assigned
Overall
1000 USD
950 USD
However, for the goods receipt of 700 EUR that follows later, the exchange rate has changed and an actual value of 1,050 USD is posted. The assigned value is updated, but no availability control checks are performed, which means that there is a budget overrun:
Current Budget
Assigned
Overall
1000 USD
1050 USD
Note the following: If desired, the availability control checks can also be performed for goods receipts or service entries, which differs from the SAP standard system behavior - see Note 696362.
Example 2 (Excerpts from Note 783161)
In the Customizing for the tolerance limits, the following is determined:
Business transaction group 01 (Purchase order):
-> No tolerance limit determined
Business transaction group 04 (Financial accounting document):
-> Error for 100% budget depletion.
For an order, the availability control is executed in the controlling area currency USD. The budget of the order relevant for the availability control amounts to 1000 USD.
A purchase order is posted amounting to 900 EUR. This amount is converted to 1100 USD in accordance with the exchange rate applicable at the time of the purchase order, and is assigned to the order. This is possible because the availability control does not respond when you post the purchase order (no tolerance limit determined for business transaction group 01).
As a result, there is a valuated goods receipt also for the amount 900 EUR. This amount is converted to 1150 USD in accordance with the exchange rate applicable at the time of the goods receipt. The purchase order commitment of 1100 USD is replaced by an actual value of 1150 USD. As a result, the assigned value increases by 50 USD. However, since goods receipts are excluded from availability control checks in the standard system (see Note 46209), no error message is issued from the availability control despite the specifications for the tolerance limit of the business transaction group 04.
As a result, there is an invoice receipt also for the amount 900 EUR. This amount is converted to 1120 USD in accordance with the exchange rate applicable at the time of the goods receipt. The actual value, and thus also the assigned value, is reduced by 30 USD. Despite the specifications for the tolerance limit of the business transaction group 04, the availability control does not respond because the assigned value is not increased (but is reduced).
(Remark: If availability control checks are also executed during the goods receipt (unlike in the standard system) as a result of the user exit described in Note 696362, the availability control would have already issued an error message when the valuated goods receipt was posted.)
