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....

How to maintain different account assignment group for a material

One of our items in plant A was extended in B to use in an business scenario.
Since the item was extended using the copy function every change
made in A seems to affect our Item master in B . What governs this?
Since the item is manufactured in A the Acct. assignment Group in
Sales Org. 2 is set to 01 manufactured item, while for B it is a
purchased item and so 03.
Please let me know how to go a head with this.

Hi
As per standards and logics a material can be created only once in MM01
In MM01 we create a material say pen under some organizational data and that includes plant, storage location,sales org,DC,warehouse etc
If you are extending the same material to another plant the same can be done in MM01 with the new organizational data and after that if you hit enter you will get a message that the material is already created and extended to such and such data
In that exept the basic data 1 and 2 many or most of the fields can be changed
I have checked account assignment category in sales org data 2 can be changed
Say for plant 1000 for material pen assignment category can be 01 and
plant 1001 for the same material pen assignment category can be 02 like that
The extra keys for account assignment categories are defined in t code OVK5
img-sd-basic functions-account assignment and costing-revenue account determination---check master data relevant for account assignment
Relevant VKOA settings to be done
Then based on plant (in sales order) diffrerent GL accounts will be picked
So a same material with respect to the organizational data can have different account assignment categories

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.

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.

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 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

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.

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

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

While Creating PO its saying account assignment mandatory for the material.

Dear All
I have created a material with Mechanical Engineering as Industry sector and ROH as Material Type.
For this material i created PR and PO both the time it said account assignment is mandatory.
Why this happens?
I don't want to enter any account assignment category.
Pls help.
Regards
Depin

Hi,
Normally purchasing ROH with PO needn't to assign the account assignment category, but if don't create accounting view for the ROH material or create the accounting view without valuation class assigned, system can't find the relevant stock account automatically, so will issue the message just like "Account assignment is mandatory".
So you should check the material master data, if it's fine, then you will not see the message any more!
Good luck

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

Account assignment category for services with ME21N

Hello friends,
I have created a purchase order with account assignment category K(cost centre) and material xxxxx with material type UNBW non valuated materials.
But while doing GRN getting error, "ACCOUNT DETERMINATION FOR ENTRY xxxx KBS 0001 NOT POSSIBLE".
Can anyone suggest me in this.
Regards
Kiran Kumar

Hi,
KBS key is for consumption. Your Purchase Order is account assigned & you are entering cost center in the PO.Now you need to use OKB9 t.code & assign the G/L account to Cost center with your company code & save.
Now try ur transaction of MIGO.
