How account assignment category determains G/L account in purchase order

Expert,
when i place an order with account assignment category for example F, a label named "account assingment" will appears with default G/L account in item detail area. what i wonder is how account assignment category determains it and where to configure?
best regards,
David

Hi ,
While doing PO for account assignment,system first checks account modification given for item category.
You can see this account modification in the given path:-
SPRO-MM-Purchasing-account assignment-Maintain account assgt categories.
In this see in "Detailed information" and"Account Modification".
Then system checks in OBYC for this account modification.Like:-
VBR for cost center and network.Against this acct modification system picks G/L acct assigned to this in OBYC.
Hope this will clears you,
reward if it helps,

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

Account assignment of the incoming invoice and the purchase order

Hi,
I am trying to control the account assignment of an incoming invoice against the account assignment of the purchase order used. The link I found is the field ZEKKN. I think RBCO-ZEKKN tells me what account assignment of the purchase order (EKKN-ZEKKN) I am using (just as RSEG-EBELN and RSEG-EBELP help to point the item of the PO used in the invoice). This link is working pretty well in 99% of my Pos and invoices. But sometimes when I create an assignment line in the PO, this line is created with a key EBELN, EBELP, ZEKKN = 02, even if any assignment was created wit an ZEKKN = 01.
In this case, when I park an invoice on this PO, the value of RBCO-ZEKKN is 01 and not 02 as in the table EKKN.
It is very annoying because the control I implement blocks the posting of the invoice..
Any idea or any new link between tables RBCO and EKKN will be very appreciable.
Thanks in advance

Hi, I've got the same issue if someones has a clue it would be very helpfull

Invoice verification for blanket PO with account assignment category U (un

Hi all
While doing miro when i am doing invoice verification for blanket PO with account assignment category U (unknown) system is not allowing me to enter the GL it is disable,wat can be the possible reason
Regards
shailesh

Hi Shailesh,
As you have maintained the account assignment category as U the account assignment tab will not be available. If you want to enter a GL account then use the Account assignments K or F or X.
Else if you want to use U in PO then you can give the GL account and other account assignment details only in the Invoice verification.

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?

Sandeep

How to link Purchase Order using account assignment category "F"* to asset

Hello,
I'd like to know how to link Purchase Order, using account assignment category "F" to asset .
When I enter asset no. in my ANEK table, po no(ebeln) and po item(ebelp) field is blank.
whether every line item in a Purchase order have differrent asset.
can anybody give me the link between asset and materal no?
Regards,
Rachel

Hi Rachel,
Your message is a little bit confusing. There is no link between the asset and material number. If you want to post your purchase order, using account assignment F - that is internal order - you may do it. Futher, you can settle the postings from this order to asset.

Purchase order and Account assignement category- Change

hi.,
We are trying to receive the Purchase order of High value components into INVENTORY.
However, most of these Purchase Orders were created with account assignments.
Because of that, if we receives these POs, they will be consumed against the object identified in the account assignment.
Additionally, some of these have been invoiced already and would need to be backed out from the finance side.
Question: How can we receive these STO Purchase orders and then make changes through Movement type ( or any other way ) so that the HIgh Value Components that are consumed against that AC assignment can be subsequently moved into Invenotory.
Also, what are the other options ( FI will not open Previous period) so that the PO's which have been invoiced can be reversed against that AC assignment.
Thanks All

hi Rajesh.,
As mentioned earlier, these Purchase orders are STO's which have been already created and we are waiting to do the GR for the same. Items in the STO PO are of High value which we need to bring into INVENTORY.
But, because these STO PO's were created with account assignments, if we do GR now, they will be consumed against the object identified in the account assignment.
Some of these STO PO's have been invoiced already and FI has indicated that they could cancel the invoices for those STO PO's in previous posting period.
Question again : How can we receive these STO Purchase orders and then make changes through Movement type ( or any other way ) so that the HIgh Value Components that are consumed against that AC assignment can be subsequently moved into Inventory and not to a cost Center (202)
Step (1) Can we cancel the Invoiced items> reverse the GR for invoiced Items>reverse STO for PO ?
Step (2) Can we reverse the STO for PO for which GR has not been done? then
Step (3) Change the PO through ME22N, remove the Account assignment category?
Or how do we correct this situation for
(1) PO's already invoiced.
(2) PO for which GR has not been made. How can we receive them into Stock and not Cost center.
Anticipating a reply
Thanks

Exchange rate problem between GR&IR for PO with account assignment category

ear SAP experts.
We have used expense puchase order through account assignment category.
the cost object include cost center,sale order,order.because we dont use Fixed assets module in SAP,when purchase fixed assets,we also use account assignment category but no need to fill assets number(Not use account assignment category A).
the processing in current system when there is exchange rate difference between GR&IR as follows.
purchase order Currency :USD company code currency:HKD
example 1-- when something purchased into expense account,
Good receipt (1USD=7.75HKD)
Dr :expense account 100USD    775HKD
Cr: GR/IR        100USD    775HKD
Invoice receipt
Dr : GR/IR         100USD    775HKD
    Expense account            25HKD
CR: Vendor        100USD    800HKD
Example 2-- when something purchased into Fixed assets account,
purchase order :USD company code currency:HKD
Good receipt on Oct .01. 2007 (1USD=7.75HKD)
Dr :Fixed assets account 100USD    775HKD
Cr: GR/IR           100USD    775HKD
Invoice receipt on Dec.01.2007 (1USD= 8HKD)
Dr: GR/IR              100USD     775HKD
   Fixed assets account                25HKD
Cr: Vendor            100USD     780HKD
The fixed assets is depreciated from Nov,2007.
There is one problem that after the fixed assets is depreciated, the value for the fixed assets is added , the finance clerk have to adjust the added value from fixed assets account to Exchange Difference-Gain/Loss account by manual.
Our problem is
How to configure in order to make the exchage rate difference into Exchange Difference-Gain/Loss account for purchase order with account assignment category,not the original assigned account in purchase order item.
Many thanks
Fanny

Hi Fanny
Even though the question is bit unclear, I guess you are looking for the T-Code OBYC. Use transaction key KDM for configuring the exchange gain/loss

G/L Account default in purchase order with account assignment category K

Hello gurus,
when creating a new position in a purchase order with account assignment category K "Cost Center", the G/L Account No. is always filled with a default account.
Where and how can I define, what account is used as default GL Account?
The version is sap ecc 6.0.
I will reward points all answer!!
Thank you!

Hi
check the valaution class assigned to the material or the material group (if no material is being used)
Now goto OBYC, Click on the transaction key GBB, for the account modifier VBR, & for the valuation clqass combination - check the G/L account.
Based on this combination the G/L is determined auitomatically in the PO. if you chnage it here ... it will reflect in PO at the time of creation.
Thanks & Regards

GR going to wrong GL account for PO Item with Account Assignment Category M

Hi Experts,
I need some help on GR posting for PO Item with M as AAC.
PO1 for material ABC with M as Account Assignment Category, when I book GR for this Item, the GL document generated as below.
Dr: PRD (Cost Price Differences)
Cr: WRX (GR/IR)
The material ABC price control is "S" and already have standard cost.
For another material DEF which have ascetically same master data as ABC and got a similar PO2 with M as Account Assignment Category.
But the GR document as below.
Dr: BSX (Inventory)
Cr: WRX (GR/IR)
How can be one same setting got so different results, is there any data in Material or PO make these differences?
Actually the results for material DEF is what we want, how could I avoid the GR results for material ABC.
Thanks~

Thanks you Mukthar,
I have checked all the information and porcess for both material and did a lot of testing in testing system.
Here is what I found.
Case
Material ABC SO: 1111 PO: 6666 (ACC:M)
Material DEF SO:2222 PO: 7777(ACC:M)
All the information in material mast data, SO, PO are the same.
The differences is that:
PO:6666 post GR before Material ABC's standard price release. So the first GR document as below
Dr: PRD (Cost Price Differences)
Cr: WRX (GR/IR)
This is correct document without material stand cost.
The problem we reverse the fist GR document, release standard cost for Material ABC. Then re-do the GR. but the GL document still book into PRD instead of BSX.
If I create a new SO:3333 and PO:8888 (with ACC M) for material ABC now.
The GR could be book into BSX.
It seem like once the PO got GR with 0 standard cost, even I relesed a new price for the material and re do the GR, it still take the previous 0 cost to book inventory which make all the amount into PRD.
Quite Strange

Account assignment category F not showing in PR & PO for stock material.

Dear All,
I have created one breakdown maintenance order in that i have planned one stock (L) material, for this reservation is created.
Then i have run mrp by using tcode md03 for that material.......pr is generated.
Now when i am going to convert this pr into po, system dosen't show account assignment category for this pr as "F"
Also when i see in change pr tcode me52n.........._system dosen't show account assignment category as "F"_
Actually system must show account assignment cateory as* "F" in pr & while converting pr to po.*
How i can resolved this issue. Any config setting is to be done kindly give the step by step procedure.
Thanks & Regards,
Sandeep

Hi,
When you select L stock Item that means the material will come under stock at stores. And then goods issue will be done against your reservation.
Coming to account assigned PR as F order then when GR is done agaist PO the material is directley isued to the order. From MRP system only checks agaist that material what the requirement and what is available stock, if short fall exists then it will generate PR with out any account assignment based on material master setting.
For ex if for the same material requirement has come from 4 orders then which order no system will consider to generate a PR.
Hope it is helpful.

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.

Masa

Defining G/L Account for product category and account assignment category

We are using the standard configuration to default in a G/L account for a given product category and account assignment category combination. This works well for us when it comes to the shopping transactions (i.e. BBPSC01, BBPSC02, etc.), however we have a problem with this logic in the carry out sourcing transction BBPSOCO01. Our users are creating describe requirements which are then delivered to BBPSOCO01, however the user is not assigning the correct product category, so the sourcing department updates the cart with the correct product category. Upon doing so, the G/L account gets changed to whatever the V_BBP_DET_ACCT table determines is correct for that given product category/account assignment combination. We would like to know if their is a way to not fire the "default G/L account determination" when the shopping cart is changed in transaction BBPSOCO01. I already know about the BBP_DETERMINE_ACCT BADI but thought there might be a less expensive alternative. Our business treats the G/L account provided by the configuration as a guideline, therefore when the buyer changes the product category they also want to retain the account assignment information. Any suggesstions on how this might be accomplished outside of creating my own logic in the BADI?
Best regards,
Shawn O'Connor

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.
