PO (Acct assignment category)

Dear Friends,
In an attempt to avoid any mistakes by user (esp when creating PO for assets), i made the "acct assignment category" field mandatory in PO creation.
Now for buying regular raw materials, i needed to enter something in that field, hence i used "U" - "Unknown"
it gives error - Unknown account assignment not defined for use here
where can i define this in SPRO?
or is there any other alternative to my problem? creating a spcl doc type for asset does not seem to solve the problem.
Thanks a lot
Sanjay

Hi,
In the Field selection column, give any unique 3 digit key like  ZAC for your document type.
Execute DEFINE SCREEN LAYOUT AT DOCUMENT LAVEL under Purchase order customization settings.
system will display all the filed selection keys.
Select your field selection key like ZAC and click on the Basic data, item ( Very first one)
In that maintain Account assignment category field as mandatory

  • Query on acct. assignment category & availability check.

    Dear Friends,
    Can somebody tell me the significance of acct. assignment category, and meaning of  availaility check in material master.
    Secondly I have a material which I use as raw material in one plant and i do the trading of the same material in other plant, in such scenario what should be my acct. assignment category,as the acct. assignment category is dependent on sales organisation.
    Thanking you in advance.

    Material can be purchased with reference to Account Assignment Category or with out ref to Account Assignment Category.
    That all depands upon business requirement,if you wants to keep the material in inventory you can cretae PO for that material without Account Assignment Category
    and if you don't wants to keep the material in inventory you can cretae PO for that material with Account Assignment Category.in this case materail will consumed at the time of GR itself.
    When you procure Indirect or Non-stock material you need to maintain the account assignment category for which the cost of purchase will be incurred.
    For example when you select , Acct assn. cat "k" ( Cost center) you have to enter the COST CENTER and the G/L account number. In this case when you receive the material it will get consumed.
    SAP PO can have account assignment categories like
    Asset - A
    Cost center- K
    Order - F
    Project - P etc.
    Account Assignment Category: - A key indicating whether an item is to be assigned to an auxiliary account (such as a cost center).
    The account assignment category determines which account assignment details are required for the item (for example, cost center or account number).
    Generally used Account Assignment Categories are Cost Center (K) in case of Miscellaneous Purchases, Assets (A) in Capital Goods Purchases, etc...
    You can configure Account Assignment Category in Transaction OME9 OR you can go with following path;
    SPRO > MM > Purchasing > Account Assignment > Maintain Account Assignment Categories

  • St. loc. for Acct Assignment category K

    Hi Team,
    We have come across strange scenario while creating PO for Acct assignment categoty "K".
    As we know, when we are using "K" means procuring material for Cost centre (free text mtrl). For this type NO st. Loc is required as material will be directly treated as consumed when you made GR.
    But in system, Storage location field is automatically getting filled after filling up the Line item information.
    Anyone aware of any settings where I can check why this is happening????
    Regards
    Sonia

    Hello Sonia,
    First of all, can i know if the Sto.loc can be remove after it is been filled automatically. {Guessing some userexit behind}
    Additional, you may also check if the setting for Acct.Assignment K is ticked for Good Receipt, if yes, this item line will required for Good receipt thus the Stor.Loc will be required too. But this Good receipt setting won't impact to the automated filled of Stor.Loc.
    If you really have no clue what is the problem why stor. loc is been filled automatically, then just go into debugger mode to check if any userexit there?
    Thanks and Regards

  • Problem with " Account assignment category"- Services

    Hello expert,
    I have a problem with the order positions type " D" (Services). At the moment that I indicate that value in the field " Item category in purchasing document" , the field " Account assignment category" he becomes gray, preventing that can be modified later. What could do so that this field is modifiable in the future?
    Thank you!!

    hi
    1. Go to Tcode- OMH4,
    Maintain Acct assignment as "Possible" instead of not possible for Item Category "D"
    2.Go to Tcode - OMG0
    Here maintain Various Combinations of Item Category "D" and Account assignment Categories.
    Then, Acct Assignment Category field in PO item overview will be open for Item Category "D".
    Hope it helps,
    Regards,
    Rahul

  • GR non-valuated indicator controlled by the Account Assignment Category

    Dear Gurus,
    In standard customizing, is it possible to do a configuration so that the GR non-valuated indicator in the PO  is controlled by the Account Assignment Category. For example:
    1. For Acct Assignment Category = A (Asset), the GR non-valuated indicator is disabled (grey out)
    2. All other Acct Assignment Categories, the GR non-valuated indicator is enabled (not grey out)
    Appreciate your kind feedback.

    Which checkbox or radio button specifically ?
    It's not the 'GR non-valuated' checkbox or the 'GR non-val binding' checkbox right ?
    I can't find any radio button for 'GR non-valuated' so that I can set it to 'display' or 'hide' either.
    Perhaps I should elaborate a bit more:
    Disabled = Box is grey out = Non Modifiable = Cannot tick even if you wanted to, Cannot untick even if you wanted to
    Enabled = Box not grey out = Modifiable = Can tick if you wanted to, Can untick if you wanted to

  • Account assignment category in Auto created PO from shipment cost document

    Hi
    During shipment cost settlement PO generation is mandatory .
    In the configuration of Shipment cost item category I have taken Account Assingment Category as K
    When PO is created automatically the Acct Assignment  Category taken is U which is grayed out .
    I want to know why does system propose U in PO
    If i want to change the default value proposed by the system in PO from U to M where is the setting done
    Can you please suggest a solution
    Thanks and Regards
    Sunil Iyer

    Please read OSS note 506605.
    It seems that accout assignment "U" is hard coded in case of PO created from shipment cost document and you can define your own rule via "EXIT_RV54POCR_007".

  • G/L account defaulting in purchase order with account assignment category.

    Hello Gurus,
    when creating a purchase order item  with account assignment category - E, system is defaulting G/L account in account assignment tab for that item.
    We have material group defined for this material in material master.
    Please help me in finding why this is happening and from where this G/L account value is considered.
    regards,
    Steve.

    Hi,
    Ckeck in KA01 and that particular GL Acct. might be assigned to cost element.
    For eg if the G/L account is 400000 in that account on top in menu you will find edit cost element .so check in wether it is maintained.
    once check and reply.
    Check in OKB9 whether g/l account and cost centre is maintained for your company code.

  • Item category and Account assignment category field grayed out in PR/PO

    Hello all,
    While making a PR/PO we use both the item category and account assignment category. However, after saving the PR/PO, when i try to change the fields through ME22N/ME52N, the fields are greyed out. I dont think this can be controlled through the layout screen.
    Is there anyway the fields can be made modifiable in ME22N/ME52N ?
    Please help!
    regards,
    Soumyadeep.

    Hi,
    Well, actually you can control the Field settings in customization of Document Type. Check the following :
    Go to SPRO>MM>Purchasing>Purchase Order>Define screen layout at document level
    Click on the desired Document Type and see if the Field selection for Item Cat and Acct Assignment is checked for Display for that Document Type. If it is then change it to Optional.
    Now, Go to SPRO>MM>Purchasing>Purchase Order>Define Document Type and see if the Field Selection Key is assigned to the (Updated just now) document Screen layout.
    Hope this helps,
    Best regards

  • Error in purchase order's acct assmt category

    Dear Experts,

    please advise me solution. its urgent.....
    thanks in advance

    Hi,
    Acct assignment cat. depends on the setting made in transaction 'OPTT'.
    For third party PR for WBS Element, by default system proposes 'Q' only in valuated stock scenario.

  • 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!

  • Accounting documents not generated in MIGO for Acct. ***.Category "A"

    Hi Friends,
    I have created a PO for Asset procurement. I have selected acct. ***. category as "A" in the PO. When I do the GR, the material document is getting generated but without any accounting document. Accounting docs are getting generated for other acct. ***. categories like for "F" and "K", but not in the case of "A".
    Please suggest where in the configuration should I check for this issue.
    Thanks & Regards
    Satya

    Dear Satya,
    Goto OME9, select your related AAC "A", then when you are maintaining PO with such AAC, the GR-non-valuated indicator will be set defaulted and greyed out (i.e. you can't be able to deactivate). If only GR-non-valuated indicator is set, then this indicator check box will be defaulted (but not greyed out) and therefore, you can change if you wish to. Yet, these settings are not relevant to the case of raising multi account assigned PO as in this particular case, SAP will automatically set the GR-non-valuated indicator check box regardless of if you have made any settings in OME9. Hope this could help you. TQ

  • Acct Assignment Cat."P" of PR in ECC cann't be brought to EBP

    Dear everyone.
        when I create  PR with "P" of Acct Assignment Cat. in ECC, PR is transfered to EBP as shopping cart. but I found the Acct Assignment Cat. is "CC" ,not "WBS", this is not normal.
        Because in SRM IMG. the "CC" mapping to "K" ;the "WBS" mapping to "P" ; the "AS" mapping to "A".
        Addintional, if I create PR with "K" or "A", then related shopping car's Acct Assignment Cat. is "CC" or "AS", it is right.
        I have a test, I inactived "CC"mapping to "K", and make "WBS" mapping to "K",  while I creat the PR with "K" , PR cann't be transfered to EBP. the error message is "Account assignment category CC does not exist. Check entries"
        Why, doesn't the "cc" be fixed?
        Please help me ,it is urgent.I will reward for this.
    Jesse.

    Jesse,
    If I read you problem right, the problem is that inactivated 'CC' in EBP. How's that configuration done in ECC?  We are not using ECC at this time but it looks like you need to synchronize the account assignment configuration between the two systems.
    Just my 2-cents, I hope that the fix is that easy.
    Regards, Dean.

  • Profit Center in Create PO w/o Account Assignment Category

    Hi SAP Experts,
    Still related to my previous post re: display of the Profit Center field in the PO create screen without Account Assignment Category.  Have looked into the SAP HELP ECC 6.0 on why is it not part of the "Maintain AAC" but to no avail.
    Please explain the following for my understanding:
    1) Why is the <blank> AAC for no acct assignment cat is not in the maintain AAC in SPRO in ECC6.0?
    2) If this is standard in ECC6.0, how can I add a new entry in Maintain AAC that will also behave as the <blank> AAC (no AAC)?
    Your help is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!
    Melanie

    Hi Melanie,
    1. The simple answer is that Acc assignment cat is mandatory , so if we filled with blank then the system wont allow it
    2. Blank acc assigment mean not acc assignment need for the Transaction so you cannot set a blank acc assigmment which behave like an exist acc assigment.
    Sorry , not mean to harass ,  but its seem not possible. Maybe you need to think for another workaround for your requirement.
