is there any impcat of this assignment or any care to be taken before the assignment...is it ok to do it?
Please advice me on the same.
Thanks & Reagrds

Hi,
If you are setting the valuation class against the material group (in "entry aids for POs without material master).
then it doesn't make any difference, if you change the link between the valuation class and the account assignment category. this link is ONLY used to determine the valuation classes that can be entered in MM01 and MM02. the link between the valuation class and the acc assign cat does not affect anything financially. the valuation class is the key that controls the financial postings and so if you are not changing this there is NO PROBLEM.
You have even less to worry about because these are obviously NOT stock items (because they have no material master record) and so the risk of changing the valuation class is reduced (and you are not even changing this).
So don't worry, all will be OK.

    Hi,
    Before understanding the account category reference, once should know what material type and valuation class are and how they are important in the valuation process of a material. If we are not aware these, then it will be difficult to understand what account category reference is and how it is related to valuation structure. Since our materials are grouped together on the basis of material types and valuation classes for the purpose of valuation at different levels, we have to establish some link between these two components of valuation structure.
    Account category reference is the link between the valuation classes and the material types. The account category reference is a combination of valuation classes. Precisely one account category reference is assigned to a material type. In the standard SAP R/3 System, an account category reference is created for each material. The account category reference is, in turn, type assigned to precisely one valuation class. This means that each material type has its own valuation class. In the Standard SAP we have the following account category references for material type finished goods and valuation classes 7920.
    FERT     -     0009                     -       Ref. for finished products
    7920     -     Finished Goods          -     0009
    In the standard we have some predefined material type, valuation class and account category reference and a link between them has already established by the system itself. If we are using these standard setting no additional efforts are required. But to meet any specific requirement, if we have to create a new material type or a new valuation classes or a new Account Category Reference or all the three, then we have to establish this link. In configuration we have to make the following settings:
    Create new material type
    Create new account category reference
    Define new valuation class
    Link material types & valuation class via account category reference
    Create an account determination for each valuation class in the step configure automatic posting
    Once this link has been established for the entire new requirement and automatic posting has been configured to meet this requirement, then nothing more is required. The system will take care of the rest of the activities automatically.

  • Account category reference

    Hello expert,

  • Valuation type for two account category reference

    Hi Experts
    I created valuation type for
    1)     DOMESTIC & IMPORT with account category reference 0001 (for raw material)
    it is applicable only with ROH material type.
    2)     Same Valuation type DOMESTIC & IMPORT system donu2019t allow to create for other account category reference 0003 ( it is for ZESS spares)
    Here requirement is material type ROH & ZESS need to DOMESTIC purchase and IMPORT purchase. hence both material type need DOMESTIC & IMPORT  valuation type How to solve this?
    karan

    Assign both the valuation class to the account category reference. And then assign both the material types to the same account category reference.
    You can assign multiple valuation class to an Account Category Reference.
    A valuation class can only be assigned to only one account category reference
    Only ONE account category reference can be assigned to a material type
    where as multiple Material Types can be assigned to a account category reference.
    Hope this helps!!

  • Material type change which has different Acct Category reference

    Hi,
    Is it possible to change the Material type which has different Account category reference?
    Example
    Old Material type is HAWA  with Account category reference
    0005
    New Material type is UNBW with Account Category reference 0007
    Regards
    Vengat

    Hi,
    Why to change material type? What’s your business requirement? If you will change material type, there will be so many effects to inventory and also to accounting.
    Ok ., But try with t. code: MMAM

  • Changing Account assignment reference after posting flows to accounting

    Hi All,
    Is there a way for me to change the account assignment reference after I posted some flows in the past for a interest rate financial instrument? 
    I need this because accounting wants to change the GL account posting for legal fees from one GL to another when a long term debt changes to a short term debt (less than a year away from maturity).  I was assuming that changing the account assignment reference in TPM28 would work.  Is this true?  I do not want to transfer any of the old postings but anything moving forward.
    Thanks
    Regards
    Morgan

    Hi Ravi/Mahesh/Lorenz
    The issue is I can do valuation class transfer for securities or loans (TPM15).  But I have my long term debt in the money market area (Interest rate instrument with product category 550).  I have assigned company code, transaction type, product type to determine the account assignment reference.  So I am not able to do a valuation class transfer I think.  Is there any other way?
    I tried to access TPM82 & TPM15M & it says 'Function not allowed'. We are on Ehp5.0.
    Am I missing something?
    Thanks
    Regards

    There is nothing in SAP called account class reference , There is a term called Account class which is used for creating Account groups, Account category reference is used for assignment of valuation class to Material type for pulling & assignment of G/L accounts

  • Can't access data after name change of account in Time Capsule

    I started using Time Capsule (TC). After transferring data to 3 different accounts. I noticed that the process of entering/ connecting to your account takes to much time. You have to connect every time to the account on TC. Because of this I changed the account names in the Airport Utility to shortened two lettre names. Unfortunately with great negative impact!
    I cannot access any data anymore. The new accounts are empty although I can see that there is still data on my TC because the available disk has not changed.Changing accountnames looks like you are creating new ones and blocking the access to the old ones.
    1) How can I retrieve the data?
    2) Can you create a 'super account' which can access all data of all accounts?

    How do you reset?
    Hi..
    What I wrote is my experience.. there is other opinions out there.
    See https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2280
    What I experienced was that applying user profiles over existing files resulted in nothing being visible.
    But I am eggs spurt by self appointment only.. test everything.. hold to what is right.. reject the nonsense I will on occasion (unwittingly) spout.
    To answer your questions.. press the reset button for 1sec will reset all user profiles to default. A longer press and it will get rid of them completely.. You will go back to default settings.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3728
    The no user profile option is device password.. or disk password.. when you press reset it will return to device password.. that is the default.
    Try what the reference above suggests.. but in my experience you cannot apply user profiles after copying material and still access it.

  • *How to change the Valuation Category & Price control in material master*

    Hello SAP Gurus,
    I have a requirement to change the valuation category from 'X' to '  ' in accounting view of material master.
    -> I have cancelled all the open PO's & SO's for the material
    -> I have ensured that there is no stock for the material in that valuation area.
    But still I get an error message that batch already exists for the material. When I check entries in MCHB I find that there are previous entires in MCHB with zero stock.
    I have gone through the SAP note 155874 which recomends the archiving the effected objects.
    Please let me know is there any work around to change the valuation category from 'X' to '  ' & price control 'V' to 'S'. I also need to change from '  '  to 'X' for a few materials.
    Thanks for your advise.
    Best Regards,
    Narayan.

    Note 155874 cleary describes what has to be done to be able to change.
    There is no workaround, and if you change anything in the tables directly, then this will cause inconsitencies, as described in this note as well.

  • Vendor name is deleted after the approver changes the product category.

    Hello,
    We have implemented workflow WS14000044(Completion by Purchaser) and
    WS14500015(Item-Based Main WF).
    At workflow WS14500015 level, when the approver changes the product
    category, the vendor name is deleted.The previous validation allows the
    PO creation , But the PO is created without vendor.
    Furthermore under transaction process purchase orders 'BBP_POC' the
    purchaser can not access in change mode to the vendor field in order to
    add a vendor.
    How can we give access in change mode to the vendor field for purchaser in transaction 'BBP_POC' ?

  • Budget Exceeded error while changing in Account Assignment

    Hi,
    The user is facing an error while changing the Accounts assignment category to "Assets" in a PR. The PR was created with AAC as "U" for all the line items. The user is changing that to "A". After that he provides the asset number then the error is coming as below:
    Item 010 Order 0809/A15 budget exceeded
    Message no. BP604
    Diagnosis
    In document item 010 Order 0809/A15, budget for fiscal year 2010 was exceeded by 6,630.00 INR.
    The valuation price for that particular line item is Rs 6630.00. I have not changed the other line items.
    Need the suggestion.
    JK

    I think there some settings in Budgeting, n Finance people are more familiar with those settings. Normally, if u craete a Purchasing doc. PR or PO or GR/ IR from MM side, with account assnt., the relevant budget()which is created for that commitment item) will updated with the document value. There may be settings with delivery date or so. check with your FI guys

  • Create G/L Accounts with Reference

    Hi all
    pls explain me what is the use this step

    Hello,
    You can create a GL account with Reference using t-code FS00. The reference functionality allows accounts to be created by copying the attributes of an existing account.
    You can copy the G/L account master records from this reference company code and edit the data in your target company code before creating the master records.
    When editing the copied G/L account master records, you can easily change the account numbers and names
    You can limit the number of accounts to be copied by entering a number range.
    The G/L account master records copied are displayed in a table. You can change the account number and name and can save the changes in the table without saving the G/L accounts.
    You can check to see if the table contains accounts without a name or with identical account numbers.
    Hope this helps.

  • Change in  item category  and  settlement of  old sales order not possible

    Hi
    I   have to settle   sales orders  in VA88 and  transfer data to COPA.   I  want to do   directly  without  result  analysis. So, in the  item category, I  removed the result analysis key.   And  the  settlement  goes thru.
    My issue is that  there are  orders in  July 2010  which  have to be settled,  but  it  does not work since the  changes in  item category has  happened  this month in Aug 2010 and  the  July  sales order are also  invoiced.
    Pl  suggest a  solution  to  settle  the  July  sales order  to COPA.
    Thanks
    kamala

    Hi Kamala
    I see only one possibility... The old sales order consists of some GL accounts posted in it which is not mapped in the allocation structure...
    Alloc Str has 2 parts - i.e. One, it consists of a group of cost elements it has to handle and Two, it consists of the valid settlement receivers like PSG, CTR, etc
    You say, this alloc str works well with new sales orders.... The 2nd part of alloc structure (i.e. valid receivers) applies equally to all sales orders.. But what can really differentiate the 2 sales orders is the cost elements posted on it...
    I dont foresee any other posslbe reason
