Asking Account Assignment Category for Direct Materials

Experts,
ECS Scenario with PPS, ECC EHP4, SRM7.0.
The system is giving error as 'account assignment category is missing' for 'direct materials'. We have same problem while creating SC in SRM also and for PDP als.
Items with account assignment are working perfecly fine for both SC and PDP, for same product category.
For PDP: System did not give any error at PR stage, but if see log in SLG1 in SRM, we see that, it did not transfer to SRM as 'account assignment category' is missing.. moreover, If we create a standard PO item, for the same material group (without reference to PR) it is pefectly working. GR, IR everything is fine in ECC... So there should not be any problem in ECC account assignment(?).
We have not implimented any BADI. Just used the standard, as it is... Product category, location, storage location are maintained in PPOMA_BBP. Accounting system for vendor is also maintained...
What could be other possiblities? kindly help.

hi
Can you create sc see  account assignment folder though ypu order as direct material in PPS scenario?
please check BBP_PDIGP-subtype =dp and external requirement.
SAP has designed like that for PPS scenario
Direct materials with account assignment
check with SAP, Learn that SRM not creates a shopping cart for direct materials for the purchase requests.
since they are throwing explicitly error message
'account assignment category is missing' for 'direct materials'

  • Defalting Account assignment category for PRs

    Hi,
    How do I configure to have automatically default a u201CAccount assignment categoryu201D depending on PR document type, so the user cannot change/enter Account assignment categoryu201D .
    For example if the PR type is u201CService PRu201D, all line items must have the u201CAccount assignment categoryu201D as u2018Ku2019 and if the PR type is u201CCapital PRu201D the   u201CAccount assignment categoryu201D must always be u2018Au2019

    Hi there,
    There is no direct way to link document type and account assignment category.
    But you can try this which is close.
    --> One is through Personal setting in PO screen.
    Can be done at Personal Setting TAB in application toolbar( extreme right side) in the PO (ME21N) screen.
    Click default value
    PO header , enter your PO document type &
    PO item, enter acc. ***. Cat. K
    & Save.
    The other way is controlling through the item category, maintain only one account assignment category for your item category in SPRO > Materials Management > Purchasing > Account Assignment > Define combination of item category/account assignment category.

  • Account Assignment Category for third party process.

    Hi ,
              I would like to use different account assignment category for third party process. This account assignment cat must be assigned at the sales order itself. Is there any config for this.
    Kindly help me.
    Ram.

    You can create new account assignment category for 3rd party process  by copying existing std one 2 in configuration under MM - Purchasing - Account assignment - maintain account assignment category
    You can assign your own set of control for account assignment based on requirement.
    SAP use TAS item catgory in 3rd Sales order which is linked to Pur Req account assignment catgory 2.If you are defining own account assignment catgory than you need to config set-up with TAS sales order item catgory.
    Hope above details will help to move further...sanjay karkun

  • Purchase Requisition / Order: Account Assignment Category for material type

    Hi,
    When creating a PR or PO for one specific material I would like the system to propose a specific account assignment Category for this material. It shouldn't allow the user to change this account assignment category.
    Is it possible? How should I proceed?
    Thanks in advance.
    Luis.

    I dont think there is any standard procedure for doing this.
    My idea would be to use a user exit say EXIT_SAPLMEREQ_010 for PR and a similar exit for PO and code a Error message check for Material type and account assignment combination.
    For ex : EXIT_SAPLMEREQ_010 is a exit which is called during check in a PR . SO when the user enters a combination of Material type and Acc assignment u can check for the requirements.

  • Where can I define Account assignment category for order settlement rules

    Dear Gurus,
        When I used Tcode: CO07 to create a rework order for parent order. But I cann't find the Account assignment category = Ord (Order) in the maintain Settlement rule overview.
      Where can I define Account assignment category for order settlement rules?
      Please help me. Thanks!
    Regards
    Paul.

    I've resolved this question.
        Firstly, run OPJH - Define Order Types, we should assign settlement profile for the order type.
        Secondly, Run OKO7-Maintain Settlement Profile, find and mailtain the settlement profile. In 'Valid Receivers' we should set the field 'Order' = 1-(Settlement Optional).
        Thirdly, run CO07 - Create Order without material. We can find account assignment catetory 'ORD' in maintaining Settlement rule.

  • Where to configure Account Assignment Category for WBS Settlement Rule?

    Hi,
    I would like to know where is the Account Assignment Category for WBS settlement rule (FXA, CTR, G/L, WBS)  being configured. (SPRO Path)
    Currently when I go to our settlement rule creation screen I can only see WBS and FXA, I need to add MAT (Material)
    Thanks!
    Regards,
    Vivian

    Hi Shrikant,
    Do you mean in my CJ02 WBS Settlement Rule creation screen, I cannnot put MAT as account assignment category?
    Does it mean that WBS element CANNOT be settled to material? and we can only settle PM order to material?
    Thanks!

  • New account assignment category for GR Non Valuated

    Hi Friends,
    I want to make a New account assignment category for GR Non Valuated. I created the same in SPROMMPurchasingAccount assignmentMaintain account assignment categories.
    I selected followig:
    AA Changeable at IR - X
    Consumption account -V
    Acct modification- VBR
    ID: AcctAssgt Scrn- 1
    Distribution - 1
    Partial invoice- 2
    GR- Non Valuated - X
    GR non Valuated. Frim - X
    After this When I am trying to create a PO with above made Account assgn cat. it is giving a Error that
    "With non-valuated GR, please also enter GR indicator"
    When I am clicking on GR indicator in Delivery tab, it also selects GR-Based IV in Invoice tab.
    I want to have GR to be selected automatically in Delivery tab & GR- Based IV not to select in Invoice tab.
    How to do this ?
    Regards,
    Sai Krishna

    Hi ,
    In this case you may not enter the account modifier VBR . See as there is no GR posting you don't need it . But it is useful to determine the account in PO. For example if you maintain account modifier in your account assignment category you need not to enter the G/L account at the time of creating PO in account assignmnet Tab. If will be automatically picked . But if you are not maintaining the account modifier in account assignmnet category then you have to enter the account manually .
    So choice is yours whether you need an account modifier or not depending on your scenario.

  • Account assignment category for cost centre and statistical internal order

    When issuing purchase order, we use account assignment category u2018Fu2019 for (PM) order, and u2018Ku2019 for cost centre.  What account assignment category to use, when issuing purchase order, if we want to charge to both cost centre (as mandatory) and statistical internal order (as optional entry field)?
    Do you create custom account assignment category for that purposes? 
    I reviewed Note 305385 but do not think it's relevant to us.

    Hi Stacy
    you can create a custom acct assgn category (AAC) in OME9... COPY the K to Z and make changes in it
    However, I feel the Std AAC K should serve your purpose if you want to have Cost Ctr as mandatory and Order as Optional

  • Account assignment category for Packaging mterial

    When I create purchase order for a packaging materials , it is asking for a account assignment category. We dont want to create accounting documents as well as we dont want to use account assignment category. Is there any way to suppress the error message - account assignment mantory for material type?

    Hi,
    For Packing materials which material type you used. I think you have created in Non stock materials/Non Valuated Materials material type.
    If you use NLAG material type then you need to enter the A/c assignment category.
    So always for Packing Materials you should use VERP Material type. As Packing materials are Inventory items so you don't need to enter the Account assignment category in PO.
    Hope you got it.

  • How to assign account assignment category for a material

    Hi All
    I am creating a Purchase order .using tr code /nME21N
    I filled in the columns for materials, qty,deliv date,net price and currency .
    Now it is throwing me an error  "Account Assignment mandatory for each of the materials" (enter accnt asst category) .........
    My question is how and where should i do ACCOUNT ASSIGNMENT for each of the materials i want to include in my PO ?

    Hi,
    The problem you mentioned could be due to one of the two reasons mentioned below:
    1) Material Master you entered is not extended (created ) for the accounting data view in MM01 for the plant you used in the PO line item
    2) It could be a warning message.  This message when you receive, you may double click the message which gives you a pop-up with details.  You may see the message number.  This message number can be controlled to warning or error or information type.  If warning or information type, you can still go ahead and create PO still bypassing that message.   In such a case, even if you have already satisfied by doing step#1, you may encounter message....

  • 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 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

    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 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.
