Internal orders used in account assignment

Hi,
Pl let me know about internal orders used in account assignment. How it works?
Tx

Hi,
Posting to Cost Center and Internal Order
If you have added the field Internal order in the Asset Master as a statistical order and you want your depreciation
posted not only to the cost center but also to this order.
In transaction OAYR in the IMG you define how depreciation posts to the depreciation posting rules - there is a CO assignment box where you have to tick both cost centers and internal orders.
What is internal order? Explain with example and how it is related to cost center.
An internal order is used to accumulate cost for a specific project or task for a specific time period. An internal order is therefore used for a short period with a specific deadline.
Your internal order will usually settle to cost centers (and not visa versa) according to the settlement rule in the order setup.
An internal order can therefore be used to group all the expenses incurred to plan and hold a conference over a 3 month period. The order can be settled on a monthly basis to cost centers. When the conference is finished the order can be settled finally. The cost of the conference will then be spread over 2 or more cost centers, but can be viewed in total on the internal order when needed.
Internal Orders - It is an instrument used to monitor costs and, in some instances, the revenues of an organization.
Uses of Internal orders
Monitoring the costs of short-term jobs
Monitoring the costs and revenues of a specific service
On going cost control
Internal order categories
Overhead Orders
Investment Orders
Accrual Orders
Orders with revenue
Cost centers are not for specific job. e.g If you have open Trade-fair / exhibition (1 month period), then to allocate cost, you can use Internal Orders (Say IO) you can post to IO, and from their to various cost centers. If management were to ask you the cost of that exhibition, Internal Order will help you
Cost center is a responsible center in SAP. It cannot be defined as statistical but in transactions it may become as per other co objects.You will be able to find out the performance of the cost center using activities and plan values with actual value. This is lowest cost object in SAP. This will become a statistical object when you allocate the cost to other higher objects. Cost can be allocated to other cost centers or co objects but not fi objects like GL,assets, inventory etc. can be defaulted in transactions through cost element. It cannot be a cost object for a revenue element, revenues are always taken for other higher CO objects. No budget functionality is available but planning functionality is available and is always measured for a year in business.
Internal order is the second CO object - which can be defined as statistical or real. You will be able to define Budget and planning figures - more than one year also. Can control the postings of FI through budget controls. You can have the report of Plan vs actual including commitment. Cost cannot be allocated but settled through settlement rules and profiles. The receiver of the values can be any object not like Cost center - can be CO objects and FI objects. Ideal for R&D expenses capitalizations, etc. Status profile is linked to this which controls many individual transactions in each status which is a part of this Internal order. It can also receive postings of activities from Cost center. Settlement profile is an wonderful tool for variety of settlement - needed for FI and CO - legal requirements also and Revenue requirements also for any country.
All SAP CO orders like Production order, Plant maintenance order, etc will behave like Internal order with more functionalities.
Internal Order (Definition as per CO): -
An instrument used to monitor costs and, in some instances, the revenues of an organization.
Internal orders can be used for the following purposes:
Monitoring the costs of short-term jobs
Monitoring the costs and revenues of a specific service
Ongoing cost control
Internal orders are divided into the following categories:
Overhead orders - For short-term monitoring of the indirect costs arising from jobs. They can also be used for continuous monitoring of subareas of indirect costs. Overhead orders can collect plan and actual costs independently of organizational cost center structures and business processes, enabling continuous cost control in the enterprise.
Investment orders - Monitor investment costs that can be capitalized and settled to fixed assets.
Accrual orders - Monitor period-based accrual between expenses posted in Financial Accounting and accrual costs in Controlling.
Orders with revenues - Monitor the costs and revenues arising from activities for partners outside the organization, or from activities not belonging to the core business of the organization.

Re: "Item category K can only be used without account assignment"

Hi,
while creating PO from PR the following error is coming.
"Item category K can only be used without account assignment"
How to solve this
Regards,

Hello,
Item category K cannot be used with an account assignment as the goods are not physically used in the company. The stock is stilla consignment stock and belongs to vendor. Using an account assignment will book the cost in the company's expenses.
use an account assignment if required when you transfer from consignment to own stock.
Hope this helps,

Hi,
How you are creating PO ,so that you have error "Item category S can only be used with account assignment category"
Check what t.code used for your PO creation and what document type used for your PO creation- which result defaulting item category S which in turn asking for with account assignment category.
Cross check transaction variant or screen variant used for your PO creation!

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.

Assigning Asset Number as Account Assignment Object in Depreciation Run

Hi,
We want to assign Asset Number along with Cost Center as an additional Account Assignment Object in our Depreciation Run. For this we have maintained Asset as an active object and assigned it to the Depreciation Area 01 and activated it for all Transaction type "*".
However, when we see the FI Document Posting, we get Cost Center number from the Asset Master record posted to Depreciation account but a "*" comes in the field of Asset Number in the FI Document? Is it possible to have asset number also in the FI document?
regards,
Chintan Shah

Hi
Thats standard behaviour
Its not possible because, one consolidated document is posted in FI for lots of assets.. The posting happens in a batch mode.. thats why, the Asset No is displayed as *
For Asset wise depreciation reports, you can see reports like S_P99_41000192 - Posted depreciation by asset and posting period and S_ALR_87010175 - Posted depreciation, related to cost centers

ERROR WHILE POSTING MIRO FOR MULTIPLE ACCOUNT ASSIGNMENT (ASSET)

Hi Guys,
We created a PO for asset with multiple account assignment. And we immediately do IR instead of GR.
While doing IR it is giving error
1) Quantity delivered is zero - Warning message
2) Account 245350 requires a Transaction Type or is Invalid - Error message
what may be the problem. how can we eliminate and post it
Regards
palani

Hi,
I would assume the G/L account you used was not properly set up. Did you get the same problem if you try to change to another G/L account? Perhaps, get your FI specialist to look into this G/L account-related error and verify it.
Cheers,

Cost center not committed on shopping cart, for account assign cat "Asset"

Hello,
We are implementing extended classic scenario in SRM 5.0 with ECC 6.0 backend.
While creating a shopping cart in SRM, in the cost assignment tab when we select an account assignment category as Asset", and then try to enter a value in the cost center in the basic details of cost assignment, it is not getting committed to shopping cart screen. The cost center field value is lost when we move to the next screen for ordering the shopping cart. For the asset related purchases, we are using main account assignment category as "asset" and it also requires cost center, because while the asset master record is being created in R/3 for these items,it requires the cost center. We also using internal order. So for the account assignment category "Asset", the other account assignment fields that can be entered are cost center, internal order and one custom field called "project code".
We have created this user-defined field in the cost assignment tab in the shopping cart, purchase order and confirmation documents in SRM in accordance with the OSS note 672960. We have implemented BBP_CUF_BADI_2 & BBP_DOC_CHANGE_BADI, BBP_DOC_CHECK_BADI for the shopping cart object.
Can someone please help me with this issue?
Thanks,
Krupa

thanks Ramakrishna and Yann for your prompt reply..
Ramakrisha,
I know that for assets, SC requires asset number and G/L is automatically derived from the corresponding asset class from the backend. In our case, we are putting dummy asset number in shopping cart and this asset number exists in R/3. But we are not generating asset creation during shopping cart creation but we are doing it during the PO creation in doc change badi. During this asset generation you also need cost center on the asset record. So we have added cost center field for Asset account assignment category and I can see it in the details of account assignment. But when I enter this cost center on shopping cart, it doesnot get committed, it disappears when I order the shopping cart.
Does anybody have any clue why this might be happening?
Thanks,
Krupa

PO issue (for multiple account assignment)

Hi,
I am greatly in need of help from you all.
The problem is as demonstrated under.
A PO is created using the Account assignment category A (Asset procurement). The material to be procured has the Quantity 4Nos.
In the account assignments 2 qty are assigned to one asset and another 2 qty is assigned to diffrent asset. GL account in both the cases remain the same.
After this PO is saved.
GR is done using movement type 101.
now GR is cancelled using movement type 102.
Now in display PO Header- Status tab. here it is showing the quantity to be delivered is 4 but value is shown as 0.00.
I donot understand why the value doesnt get fetched in Status tab of PO header.If I dont use the multiple account assignemnt for the above condition then the values are shown in the Status tab of PO header.
Thanks in advance,
Sheetal

Hi,
Yogesh is right (as usual).
When you create the PO and assign multiple accounts to it you will be prompted to change the GR flag to either indicate NO GR or a Non valuated GR (you CANNOT HAVE a valuated GR for a PO with mulitple account assignements on the one line).
The system does not post any values for this until the Invoice has been posted correctly (or posted and blocked).
So the GR (and return if applicable) always have zero value.

Delivery cost with multiple account assignment

Dear SAP gurus,
I found a problem in here. In my company we are using multiple account assignment in PO with multiple asset entered in one line. This PO actually will have customs and delivery cost inside of it, however it is not know at the time of PO creation. When the forwarder send the goods, sometimes the shipment can contain more than one PO as well, thus it is impossible to determine the exact value of delivery cost at the time of PO creation.
When the goods are delivered in the FOB point, the vendor deliver goods will send the invoice for goods, and when the goods delivered to our warehouse, then the forwarder will deliver the invoice for the delivery cost. So there is no sequence of the invoicing. Sometimes the goods are invoice earlier than the delivery cost, sometimes it is later.
My requirements are to make sure that the delivery cost is being posted to the asset account of the goods that are being delivered in the PO. I have tried these options:
a. Planned delivery cost inside the PO --> when posting invoice for planned delivery cost, got error message that there is no delivery cost in the PO. I think this is because of the multiple account assignment because when creating PO and inputting the delivery cost i do get warning that no delivery cost for multiple account assignment,
b. Unplanned delivery cost --> ONLY work if the invoice for delivery cost and goods are being posted as one document, which is not the case in here.
c. Separate PO for delivery cost --> got issue in which the person who supposed to create the PO for delivery cost, would not have any idea what asset no to be used (worse --> if the asset is being delivered partially).
Do you have any idea of what to be done in this case? Please help.
Best regards,
John.

See while making the invoice for the delivery cost you have selected the aggreation as planned delivery cost and in the PO you have not maintained the deilvery conditions .The pricing conditions which you have maintained must ebe have condition category - delivery cost .The system will not give thr message thhat you have not mainatined the delivery cost .If you have condition as mandatorty it will show that the conditions ( mandatory) are not maintain.In order to maintain the delivery cost you have to check your conditions whether they are delivery cost related conditins and if then maintain there values in PO and check while doing invoice you will get.
You have also the option of entering the delivery cost at time of the Invoice as unplanned delivery cost ...........
Just check your conditions which you have maintained the calculation schema as delivery conditions and maintain the values and do the invoice proceesing .
It is not advisableto cretae the sepearted PO for the delivety cost as it is not good way of doing the proceess.

sunny

How to create a SO that can be taken as account assignment object for PO?

Dear all,
I am trying to create a PO with ME21n and I want to assign the item to sales order item (SO). I put in account assignment group "C", but everytime I enter the SO number I get the message: "Account 612200 requires an assignment to a CO object
Message no. KI235"
So it seems that it does not recognize the SO as an CO object, although the help says you can assign to a sales order.
What has to be done to get this assignment working?
By the way "E" is also not working.
Unfortunately I am neither in an individual purchase order scenario (because we do not always require a PR and moreover the material/service we must buy depends on many factors, so a subcontracting scenario with a BOM won't help neither) nor in a 3rd party order scenario.
My scenario is: SO is entered. Sometimes we have to buy either a service or a material. Shipping is directly to us and we pay the supplier. When the whole SO is fulfilled we bill our customer for the material/services we bought for them and hopefully can put a little margin on top.
Any ideas?

Hi,
i tried the same scenario, i was getting the same error but FICO consultant assigned the CO object to the GL acoount then it works i used the account assignment category C. but still i am testing this scenario because the cost is not going on SO.
regards,
Qasim
