Category for GL Accounts

Which category do the following accounts fall into (assets, liabilities, expneses or revenue)
Cash discount taken from vendor
Cash discount lost from vendor
Withholding tax - (Also please let me know do we need to mainatian 2 gl accounts separately for federal and state withholding taxes?)
Thankyou

Cash discount taken is revenue and cash discount lost is expense. I guess they should be in the same node in FSV as Trade Purchases. Please note that cash discount lost comes into picture only when you record the original liability entry for the net amount (after reducing cash discount that you may get provided you pay within the period so as to avail cash discount) - when you do not pay within that date (to avail discount), and if the original entry recorded net, then the clearing transaction would have cash discount lost line item as well.
Withheld taxes must be categorized as current liabilities.

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?

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

Account assignment in schedule line category for third party sale

in settings for schedule line category CS -for third party sales, in the field Account Assignment category we assign X-all auxiliary account assignment.
what is the purpose and reason for using account assignment category in third party and at what point of time this comes into picture in third party sales process

Hi Sudha A,
Procureement against customer requirement will be booked against cost or expense account. So when creating PO, this account assignment category is determination factor for respective G/L accounts in MM.
- Account assignment category will have general modification assigned. in MM account determinatoin OBYC settings-
Valuation group code(this needs to be confirmed) + General Modification + valuation class determines G/L account.
This is how G/L account will be displayed in PO - item level - account assignment tab.
To see the settings in account assignment category - check the help of the field & choose customization & observe in details.
Hope it clears,

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.

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....

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!

Vivian

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.

Senthil

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.

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 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.

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
