GL Account details at the header are not flowing to the item level in SC

Question

Hi All,
While creating a Shopping Cart, first I am specifying the cost assignment details (i.e., Cost Center, GL Account) in the header and then creating the line items for the shopping Cart.
While creating these line items, the cost center which is specified in the header is populated at the line item, but GL Account is blank.
I need to populate the same GL Account at each line item.
I checked the badi: <b>BBP_DETERMINE_ACCT</b> to populate the GL account for line items. But I am unable to determine this header GL Account in this badi.
Can anybody help me in this regard, <b>thanks in advance</b>.
Regards
Loknath

Hi
<b>The purpose of the BADI - BBP_DETERMINE_ACCT is to deal with Shopping cart - Item level data, there it contains only two tables
ITEM_DATA
This contains the most important item data for the shopping cart.
ACCT_DATA
This contains the account assignment data for the shopping cart item.</b>
<u>Here is the documentation.</u>
<b>BBP_DETERMINE_ACCT</b>
You can use the Business Add-In BBP_DETERMINE_ACCT to specify your own criteria for determining the G/L account.
In the standard system, the G/L account is determined using the product category and the account assignment type, refer to Define G/L Account for Product Category and Account Assignment Category.
The G/L account is then placed in field ACCT_DATA-G_L_ACCT. Then, the system calls the Business Add-In BBP_DTERMINE_ACCT.
In method DETERMINE_ACCOUNT, two table parameters are available:
ITEM_DATA
This contains the most important item data for the shopping cart.
ACCT_DATA
This contains the account assignment data for the shopping cart item.
This means that you can now determine the G/L account irrespective of other item data (or any combination of item data) and overwrite field ACCT_DATA-G_L_ACCT.
Example
For the product category OFFICE SUPPLIES in conjunction with account assignment type CC (cost center), the system determines G/L account 400000. However, you also want to take into account the company code (field ITEM_DATA-CO_CODE) when determining the G/L account. The system is to make postings to G/L account 410000 for company code 0002. So you overwrite field ACCT_DATA-G_L_ACCT with 410000.
<u>I recommend, In future, Please read the relevant documetation of any of the BADIs in SE18 Transaction, before implemnting the same, to get the details.</u>
Hope this will help.
Please reward suitable points, incase it suits your requirements.
