Customized Account Assignment Category In SRM 4.0

Hi All,
We are using SRM 4.0 & SAP R/3 4.6c in classic scenario. we need to map account assignment category (Balance Sheet) in SRM which is having fields Profit Center (mandatory), G/L account (optional) & partner (optional).
I want map this account assignment category in SRM. Please tell me how to do this.
Help me out in this.
Thanks & Regards,
Ajay Pakhale

Hi,
1. In customising (SPRO) in R/3 you need to create the corrpesponding account assignment category with the relevant fields specified.
2. In customising (SPRO) in SRM you need to create the new account assignment category and specify it as active plus the backend system reference. You can then assign the cost assignment types that are applicable and those that are mandatory.
I haven't got access to a system at the minute so can't give you the menu paths in customising but for R/3 it is under Materials Management > Purchasing and then look for Account Assignment. For SRM it is in Cross Application Components and then look for Account Assignment.

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

Assign Account assignment category to multiple cost centers in SRM

Hi All,
We are Implementing SRM 5.5, Extended Classic Scenario for Goods and Services (Stock and Consumables).
I have 400 cost centers. How to assign G/L Accounts to multiple cost centers, in Define G/L Accounts for Account assignment category and Product category?.
I guess, By using BADI - BBP_DETERMINE_ACCT. If this is correct, Do we have to develop any ZTABLE for this. Or only BADI enough?.
Please anyone explain details.
Thanks in Advance.
Thanks & Regards,
John.
Edited by: johnmiller465 on Aug 21, 2009 8:32 AM

Hi,
Cost Center is related with user. Setting is attributes in PPOMA_BBP.
G/L account is related with Product category and Account Assignment Category. Setting is in standard customizing table.
If standard customizing is not enough, you can use BBP_DETERMINE_ACCT BADI.

Account Assignment category in Limit order confirmations in SRM 4.0

Hello
We are using SRM 4.0 in extended classic scenario.
When entering the confirmations for limit orders in SRM, users add the limit/ service items.
After SP14 recently, the " account assignment category" is not set in the added lines , same as the
PO .
Rather the account assignment category is the first one from the available list.
Any suggestions / notes for this issue?

Validations in srm for the account assignment category

here is the requirement.
After selecting the account assignment category i want to make some fields as mandatory like GL account. how can i do that.
thanks
kishore

Hi Kishore,
First of all let me tell you that I don't know the answer of this query. But I too had same problem in one of my previous project.
Frankly speaking, If we think over this issue from FiCo (specifically controlling) point of view- allowing users to choose G/L account would not enforce any hard control over G/L account selection which could cause terrible issues in reporting within Controlling. In order to exercise hard controls to ensure accurate reporting, I guess this selection of G/L account by user should be refrained.
Functionally, best possible solution would be to devide that particular product category into sub-categories (new prd categories) which would then have 1-1 relation with G/L accounts. Probably you can have a word with your Finance guy and let him know the consequences.
Please let me know your views.
Regards,
Amit

How to make default account assignment category in planned order?

Scneario Description:
1. Sales order for a configurable parent item is created in ERP & order BOM is changed & transferred to APO. In APO MRP run takes place for that parent item, which creates a planned order with account assignment category "M" (M:Individual Customer w/o KD-CO.
2. Now based on the dependant requirement generated for parent item, MRP takes place for one of the child item in ERP & purchase requisition gets created for child item.
Question:
1. Can anybody help me how i can make default account assignment as "F" (F:Order) in the planned order of parent item?
2. PR created for child item also has default account assignment category as "M". we wish to change that to "F".
Thanks & best regards
Hemchandra & Sandeep Mandhana

Hi V. Suresh,
The account assignment category maintained in the requirement class for parent item is 'M'.
No account assignment category maintained has been maintained in the requirement class Semi-finished component (this component is sent for subcontracting).
The business process is as follows:
1. Create Sales Order for Parent say ME_PARENT.
2. Order BOM for ME_PARENT is created and subsequently cifed to APO.
3. PP/DS heuristic is run for ME_PARENT.
4. MRP for component ME_COMP is run in ERP.
It can be seen that purchase requistion for ME_COMP has a/c assgn category as 'M'. It seems that the ME_COMP has inherited 'M' from ME_PARENT.
We would like to have no a/c assgn category for ME_COMP.
Any pointers?
Regards,
Sandeep

PO with account assignment Category M

Hi Friends,
In an intercompany stock transer scenario for a PO with account assignment category M, can the receiving plant receive the goods before the supplyig plant issues it? In my case it's happening only for POs with account assignment category M, so I wanted to consult you all if this is possible per standard SAP functionality.
Thanks for your help.
Rana

Hi
Yes this is standard functionality only. and this is not an intercompany procurement.
This is something like a Individual purchase order process. Using Item category TAB in the sales order.
In this process Goods receipt is done before you perform the goods issue to the customer.
In an inter compnay PO process the process starts with creation of a PO and not SO. where as you are creating a SO beofre the PO, and using the SO as an account assignment object.
Thanks & Regards

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?

Define G/L Account for Product Category and Account Assignment Category

Hello Experts,
I got a requirment to make a new entry in below SPRO path.
Define G/L Account for Product Category and Account Assignment Category
*Individual entries cannot be put into the change request*
*Message no. SV141*
*Diagnosis*
*For technical reasons, the entries cannot be fully specified in the change request. There are two possible reasons for this:*
*1. The key of an entry is longer than 120 characters. All entries whose keys match up to character 119, are then copied into the change request, rather than an individual entry.*
*2. The key of an entry contains fields of special data types, for example, packed numbers. The key can only be specified in the change request up to the first such field from the left.*
*all entries whose keys match up to character 26 are copied into the change request, rather than a single entry.*
*System Response*
*The selected entry is copied into the change request correctly, but other entries may be copied as well.*
My question is, If I make one entry and move to Quality and production system will it move only one entry or whole table will move?
Kindly help me.
Thanking you
Regards
Sharan

I got the same message trying to make an entry in SPRO:
Define Backend System for Product Category
I found the note 305942 describing exactly the issue for my and above mentioned entry, which offers the correction, then the note 326802 which offers the correction of the first notes. However, both notes are for Releases 4.6C and D (from 2000), and we are using EHP2 FOR SAP SRM 7.0.
I see another discussions in SCN regarding this topic, but haven't found real solution yet. Any hints? At least the answer to previous question from Sharan would be appreciated.
Best regards,

Account assignement category for purchase requisition - error message

Hi All!
I created a new Item category in service order (IW31) "O" with the account assignment category "O". If I don't set the Consumption posting indicator to V for this category, when I set the account assignment category "O" to the purchase requisition in <i>Plant Maintenance and Customer Service-Maintenance and Service Processing-Maintenance and Service Orders-General Data-Define Account Assignment Category/Document Type for Purchase Requisitions</i>, I receive the message:
<b>"Acct. assign. cat. "O" for purchase req. does not exist.
Message no. CS 075"</b>
The client request is not to charge immediately for the goods receipt with the relevant costs the service order. The client wants to create the goods receipt in a storage location for the plant and then confirm the components and charge the costs after the component confirmation (movement type 261) - similar to stock material.
Any idea about what should I do?
Thank you.

Hi Everyone,
The problem is solved now. The cause was that the test requisition that I was making was satisfying more than one rules and hence I end dated the remaining rules which solved the problem.
Thanks!

Multiple account assignment category for one line item in PO

Dear Experts,
We are on SRM 5.0 ECS
One line item of a PO has multiple account assignment category with the cost distribution for
1. Cost Center - 50%
2. Order - 50%
Is it possible?
As per my understanding one line item in a PO can have only one account assignment category
Regards
Mick

Hi,
Yes it is possible by Po line item.
Just go to transaction bbp_poc through the web interface.
Select your PO
Select your line item PO.
goto the account assignment tab (item overview)
you get a cost distribution field in percentage
then you get a cost distribution button : click it and you get several lines where now you can split your 100% in as many lines as you want.
BR,
Disha.
Pls reward points for useful answers.

PO with new account assignment category to G/L without CO object

Hello all,
A customer in a company I work for asked me to create a new account assignment category (AAC) with G/L account as mandatory field and no CO object as mandatory.
He would like to create a PO with this AAC directly to balance-sheet account without any CO invloved (such as PO to stock) without a material.
I have bad feelings about this process but I do not have anything substantial to convince him against it.
Am I wrong ? Is this process allowed ? What "bad things" may happen if we use this process ?
Any help will be appreciated,
Thanks,
Isaac

Sir -
These stuffs are done by many indian companies to inject some bad accounts. If this is a requirement, no choices left.
It is possible to enter the material text and u can proceed with the things u need. You can create the value contract for this requirement.
Thanks,
Shiva

Default the GR based IV check in PO based on account assignment category

Hi Experts,
We have the below business requirement based on GR based IV check in the PO. We knows that this can be automatically defaulted by using the two master records.
1.Vendor master,
2.Purchase info record.
But our cilents needs this field to be automated based on the account assignment category. Because lot of vendors are created without the activiation of this check box also they do not want to go by mass upload transaction to change the master records.
They want only based on the account assignement category. For example if a PO is created using the account assignement K then this GR based IV is selected automatically.
Kindly adivce any configuration setting is available to fullfill this requiremennt.

Hi,
unfortunately the GR based IV can not be set in OME9 (in customizing).
In ME21N, if it is normal PO, GR Based IV indicator is not set. But if
item category = D, GR Based IV indicator is automatically set by
system.
Best regards
Erika
