Allocation field in sort key

hi
what is allocation field in sort key?plz explain me that allocation field?

naagesh

Hi Nagesh,
As You might be aware the Sort key helps in filling the assignment number field while posting to a GL a/c. If we choose 000 or allocation number which is nothing but assignment field itself , the assignment field will eb left blank for those GL accounts which ahs sort key 000.
Allocation number is nothing but the assignment filed ZUONR itself.
so when we give 000 sort key we are giving an option to the user to enter their choice of data in teh assignement field.
Hope this is clear.(Pls assign points if its helpful)
Thanks,

Sort Key JUR and allocation

When invoice sales tax items from the tax conditions are posting to GL tax account document in the allocation field it is always using the txjcd of the shipto but the rate and gl tax amount has been calculated on the plant. Therefore the two don't match and its a reporting nightmare
The sort key field is JUR.
Why would it not use the same txjcd the actual taxes are computed on.
Can any suggest a userexit in place or config?
Any help is rewarded.
Thanks
Richard

You can make a descending sorting for your key figure using the condition TopPercent (Top%) and take the value 100. To sort ascending, use the BottomPercent (Bottom%) condition on your key figure.
Then 100 % of the values of your key figure will be shown in a descending sorting by default in your query (without using a view).
I used the feature in the newest BEx Query Designer (7.x) and it works fine, I don't know if it's available in the older version (3.x).
Please assign points.

Reg the Sort Key field in Vendor Master Record

Hi MM Gurus,
I have the requirement of displaying the Purchase Order number & Line Item number in the Accounting document of the Goods Receipt. i.e., in the "Assignment" field.
I have made the necessary configuration in FS00 for the specific GL account & also specified 014 code in the corresponding Vendor master record.
However, once I post the GR document, and checked the "Assignment" field, it displays only the Purchase Order number and not the Line item number.
Kindly help me on this.
Best Regards
Sudhi

Have you posted the above document after set 014 in FS00 ?
Can you test the same in your practice client.
Check the document for more details Sort Key Functionalities and the wiki content How to update Assignment field in FBL*N report - ERP Financials - SCN Wiki
(Note: The changes of FS00 as 014 will not effect old documents)

Sort Key 0014 (Purchase Order) not updated in Assignment Field

Hi SDN experts,
I assigned Sory Key 0014 to one of my vendors, after which I tried to post a PO, GR and eventually the IR.
However, upon checking the FBL1N report, system does not populate it with the Purchase Order Number.
Any step I missed out?
Also, the Purchasing Document number is empty. Shouldn't this be populated by the invoice document? (MIRO)
Regards

Hi
In FBL1N, PO will not be displayed in the Assignment field just by giving Sort Key as Assignment Field. You need to implement BTE 1650 in FIBF and write your code to populate it. The logic why sort key of PO will not populate it , because from Version 4 onwards, R/3 aqllows, single Invoice Verification against Multiple PO. Even in the BTE Implementation, you will be able to populate only the First PO Line Item No only, if you do a single invoice verification against multiple PO of the Vendor.

Customer no to populate the Assignment field for Sales A/c using sort key

Dear All,
In 6.0, I am trying to get the Customer number to populate the Assignment field for Sales Account
We have set the sales account to a 031 sort key - sort by customer, in FS00. When 031 is set, SAP goes to the BSEG table and looks at the KUNNR (customer) field and populates the Assignment field with what is in the KUNNR field of BSEG.
The problem is: the customer number (KUNNR) does not contain any data in BSEG.
The KUNNR field of all the other account lines for the document number are blank.
Is it possible to bring the field in the General Ledger display?
Does anyone know of a user exit or other solution?
Thanks,
Gov

Hi,
Check with SD consultant and use Copy control.

Assignment field value different from sort key

Dear Forum,
I notice in the customer line item, the assignment field value different from sort key.
sort key for customer i maintain as doc number + fiscal year, but i notice some line item's assignment is not this information.
for example, billing posting. some customer line item assignment is document + fiscal year but some are delivery number in assignment field. no changes made in log file.
may i know why?
thanks

dear,
as i did mention, customer master sort key no change and in the same customer line item, assignment field which carry delivery number also no change log.
may i know where to see the subsitution? i do not think that is due to substitution.
thanks

EXPLAIN SORT KEY IN G/L MASTER

Can anyone tell in detail what is the use of sort key in G/L master. When we choose to sort suppose by posting date, what is its impact on a G/L document. I am still not clear on this.
Another question what is the field Open Item Managed used for in G/L master. Explain in detail on this one too.
Thanks
Lakshmi

<b>This is the function of SORT KEY. Pl let me know if you require more info</b>
The system uses a standard sort sequence for displaying line items. Among other things, it sorts the items according to the content of the Allocation field. This field can be filled either manually or automatically (by the system) when a document line item is entered.
For this purpose, the system requires rules that determine which information is to be taken from the document header or from the document line item and placed in the field. The rules can be stored in the master record of an account which enables you to determine the standard sort sequence on an account-specific basis.

Sort Key in G/L Acounts and Customer MAster Records.

Dear SAP Guru's,
What is the specific use of the Sort Key?How will this effect the Line item entry in FBL5N?
In our Company The G/L Accounts the sort key is maintained As 000 Allocation Number.
_Also In Customer Master-->Company Code Data
The Feild sort key : It is maintained "000" Allocation Number _
If I change the sort key Now after 1 year of several records updated Will the System sort according to the changed sort key?
I want the sort key to be document Number Now after a year will the previous records be shown with the immediate effect.
I have gone through this link.

Sort key field is also known as Allocation field.
The u201Callocation fieldu201D is populated automatically onto line items, during document entry, based on the default sort indicator set in the master record.
When you display or change line items, they are displayed in a standard sort sequence as per sort key defined in master records.
Sort key is defined in G/L master, Vendor master and Customer master. The key defined here is taken as the default key by the system when you want to display the line items pertaining to that account.
The sort key determines what is populated in the allocation field upon posting.
Changing the sort key will only change future postings not already existing line items.

Sort Key .... where we can see the activity in GL, Vendor, Customer mater

Hi gurus,
what is the use Sort key,
where we can see that activity. in GL Accounts, Vendor, customer master sort key where we can see effects. what is the use, how it will sort, where i can see.
Thanks for your reply.
Anil

Dear Anil,
Sort key is the one that fills the "Assignment field" of a line item automatically.
For example, for the GR / IR accounts, we normally give the "Purchase Order" as the sort key. This will make the line items in the GR/IR account to be filled with the Purchase order and the Item number.
The automatic clearing (F.13) works with the assignment field. In case the net of two line items (Dr - Cr) is equal to zero and the assignment field of these two lines are the same, then the system will automatically clear these two lines. Hence "Sort key " fills the assignment field and is very useful in automatic clearing

Hi,
The purpose of the sort key is for two purposes:
If you maintain the sort key in GL Account:
Assignment field in line item report FBL3N would automatically be filled with this sort key.
Second this is you can sort or sub-total on this assignment field.
Hope this helps you.
