Additional account assigment category

Question

What is the relevance of "additional account assignment category" field while creating purchase order?

Answer 1

Hello Ragini,
If you entered an account assignment category other than u (unknown) while creating a purchase order then you need to enter additional account assignment data (for example, the G/L account number).
You can specify single or multiple account assignments for requisition or PO items.
Click either  to switch from the multiple account assignment screen to the single account assignment screen, or  to switch to the multiple account assignment screen.
In the case of multiple account assignment, you can choose distribution by quantity or distribution on a percentage basis.
Copying account assignment items:If you have chosen multiple account assignment, you can copy account assignment data into other requisition or PO items.Lets take an example.You order 10 swivel chairs and 10 desks, of which you wish to assign 5 to cost center 1000 and the other 5 to cost center 2000 in each case.
You enter two account assignment items for the swivel chairs. Select both account assignment items and click  to copy them.If you then wish to enter the account assignment for the desks, click  to insert the copied account assignment items. You then have the choice of inserting the account assignment item just once or several times.
Hope I had been able to help you out. Please reward some points.
