PO with multiple account assignments - non valuated / valuated GR

Hi Experts,
If I create a PO for goods with multiple account assignments the GR will not be valuated, but if I do the same for a service PO the GR will be valuated.
What is the reason for this?
Thanks in advance,
Francisco Melo

Hi,
There is more of a qualitative response to the issue, rather than quantitative, If you go through SAP Note 204252 for GR of material it says that: "We have not implemented this function since users who post goods receipts would have to determine the distribution to individual account assignment items during partial deliveries. Generally, users cannot or should not determine this.
An automatic distribution also causes problems and is also not implemented due to technical reasons".
Means basically here a stores guy is doing GR and he maynot be competent enough to decide on the Account assignment front.
However in general the service entry sheet is filled by departments who have got the work done, and are aware of the account assignment for that work.
Hope this is helpful for you.

Non valuated Goods Receipt for materials with multiple account assignments

We have been using multiple a/c assignments for services on purchase orders for sometime with no issues. Recently we used a multiple a/c assignment distribution for a material P/O. this didn't work the same and the Goods Receipt was set as non valuated.
This leaves the cost showing as a commitment and we do not get any actual costs charged at the GR point until we get and post the invoice. This only happens with multiple account assignments, all material P/O goods receipts for single assignments get valuated.
Were not sure why this happens, and want it treated the same. Is there any way we can get these valuated the same way single assignment materials or multi assignment services are.
The non valuated GR flag is getting set automatically, but we can't see where this is coming from for this scenario, so were a bit stuck.
Any advice/direction would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Graham

Hi Deshamol, No the materials are all valuated, as mentioned, they all work fine when used as single a/c assignment.
Anupam, Your answer doesn't make sense to me, this is 1 line on the P/O, therefore 1 material. It can't be both valuated and none valuated for each a/c assignment.
I have read in a note there there is a business function that you can apply to get this working, has anybody tried it?
Thanks

Error creating a contract with multiple account assignments

Hallo,
I have created a PO agreement with a single account assignment on tr - ME31K.
If I open this agreement and open the account assignments for an item I'm able to press the "Change display" button. In the screen which is showed I'm able to set the distribution to set the distribution to 1 - Distribution on quantity basis. If I do so I get the following error message: " Enter Acc. ***. Block". The only thing I could do is set this indicator!. But when I set this indicator this indicator is resettled and the message appears again.
The thing I want to do is that it is possible to create a contract whit multiple account assignments.
Could any one say what is missing or what is wrong?
My SAP version is 47x110 SR1.
Kind regards,
Richard MeijnError creating a contract with multiple account assignments

Rahul,
The reason why I created a contract with a single Account Assignment is that it was not possible to save the document.
So I created a document for my example and want to change it to a multiple Account assignment. So I did the steps as described.
After adding a extra account line and pressing Enter I get the error message as described: "Enter Acc. ***. Block".
There must be a setting wring in the IMG but I don't know which one?
I have looked ad transaction "OME9" but couldn't see the cause.
Kind Regards,
Richard Meijn

Subsequent credit to PO with multiple account assignments

Good Morning -
In ECC 6.0 when posting a subsequent credit to a purchase order that has multiple account assignments, the posting adds a commitment back onto the purchase order. This works opposite of the subsequent credit that is posted to a purchase order that has a single account assignment. Is there a fix that does not allow the commitment to be added to the purchase order?
Thanks.
Dan Scott

Hi Dan,
I would advice you to have a look at notes 1494239 and 1432085.
And in case you enter new account assignment in MIRO (unplanned acc. ***) pls. read the notes 496557 and 1446793.
Kind regards,

Value mismatch in ME23N and MIRO for PO with multiple account assignments

Hello All,
I've a PO for indriect material procurement with no material master and I've a single PO item with Account Assignment Category as "K" (Cost Center) and Net Price as "1,357.91". Account Assignment has been distributed by percentage such that 50% goes to a cost center and the remaining 50% goes to another cost center.
When I do MIRO, the amount comes as "1.357,92". This is because, the actual PO price "1,357.91" is divided by 2 equal half due to multiple account assignment and the individual amount comes to 678.955. And this is rounded off to 678.96 and multiplied by 2 in MIRO and the final amount comes to "1357.92". So as you see, the variance between PO price and MIRO price is 0.01.
How to get rid of this variance? Can something be done to match the PO value and MIRO value the same?
Thanks for your inputs.
Sankar

HI Sankar,
This is a standard behaviour as Currencies with 2 decimals will be getting rounded off. One work around to avoid posting of Small differences in Invoices (DIF accounts) is to maually change the amount in the Account assignment in the Invoice line to match to PO line total.

Valuated GR with Multiple Account Assignment

Hi SAP Experts!
I would want to know the logic behind always using a Non-valuated GRs with Multiple Account Assignments.
I am asking this because we would want to make use of the budget checking during GRs. More specifically, whenever there is a GR, the committed budget will move to the actual budget. In our business practice, more often than not, the invoice is entered much later than the GR. This would mean that the amount of the purchase will remain in the committed state even if the goods have already been received.
Is there a way to work around this in SAP? Or is this the only way that it does this?
Hope to hear from you guys soon. Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I am sorry but the basic process is that you cannopt have a valuated receipt for a line with multiple account assignments.
An alternative (albeit a not very good one) is to just use separate lines on the PO instead of multiple account assignment.
this may not be any help, but I doubt if there are any user-friendly alternatives.

Service PO - Multiple account assignments for service line items

Hi All,
I'm trying to create a service purchase order using BAPI 'BAPI_PO_CREATE1'.
But i need to create service line items with multiple account assignments say
For line item 10 -
1)Service line 1 -Cost center 'XYZ'.
2)Service line 2 -Cost center 'ABC'.
In POACCOUNT there is no option to specify the service line item .
Moreover in POSERVICES also there is no option to mention costcenter.
How can i create the same...
Thanks in advance

Services with multiple account assignment.

Hi all,
How can I find out the POs which are having the multiple account assignment for the service line items from tables ?
I am looking for services with multiple account assignments
Regards

Hi
Go to SE16 , give table name -EKPO
Now if you have purchase order nos with you then copy paste the PO numbers here , or select company code or site to restrict your entries. It will control the performance of the data execution.
Then execute this (remove max no 200 ) . Go to Settings-- Format List -- Choose fields. Deselect all and select fields as per your requirement.If field names are coming in technical names you can change this via settings--User parameter and select -Field Label.
You can extract this report to excel as well. Same PO number with all account assignment category.
Please note if you have high volume of data then extract all the POs under service orders first from EKKO table and copy all the service PO numbers availbvale and paste in table EKPO, it will increase performance as well.
Cheers

GR Non-Valuated with multiple account assignment

Hi, gurus;
some knows a user exit or badi that is used to undercheck the flag GR Non-valuated when PO with multiple account assignment is created (ME21N) ? It can have some consequence in later invoice verification?
Thanks in advance
R.Z.

gr non valuated is done in case ur procuring the material for direct consumption so at the time of gr no posting to accounts occur but at the time of invoice recipet the system debits the g/l account and crdits the vendor account
this multiple account ***. is also necessary to mark with gr non valuated and gr check box so that u can change the account assignment at the time of invoice and that acc. assg. should also be changebale in backend .

Multiple Account Assignments for purchase/framework requisition

Hi,
Multiple Account Assignments for purchase/framework requisition:
The actual MM configuration is a single account assignment in the purchase requisition (although the option of multiple account assignments exist for trips). What are the implications at GR posting? Assuming that we could use the option for quantity and percentage distribution.
Regards
Suresh

Hi
Multiple account assignment:
Specifying Multiple Account Assignment
This procedure allows you to apportion the costs associated with a PR/PO item (among several cost centers, for example).
With multiple account assignment, the account assignment data entered takes the form of individual account assignment items.
Prerequisites
When specifying multiple account assignment for an item, you must consider the following points:
1.How is the net value of a PO item to be distributed (apportioned) among the individual account assignment items?
The costs can be allocated on a quantity or percentage basis (for example, 10 pieces or 10% of the order value to cost center 100).
2.How are the costs to be apportioned if only a part of the ordered quantity has been delivered and invoiced?
The partial invoice amount can be distributed proportionally, i.e. evenly, among the account assignment items of a purchase order.
The partial invoice amount can be distributed on a "progressive fill-up" basis, i.e. the invoiced amount is allocated to the individual account assignment items one after the other. Only when account assignment item 1 has been charged in full is item 2 charged; only when account assignment item 2 has been charged is item 3 charged, and so on. This process continues until the total invoice value of the PO item is reached.
Procedure
1.When entering an item, specify the account assignment category for the desired item on the item overview screen.
2.Choose Item -> Account assignments.
The account assignment window appears.
3.Enter the account assignment data for the first account assignment item.
Choose Change display to call up the multiple account assignment screen.
4.In the item fields (upper part of this screen) enter the relevant data:
Select the GR non-val. field to designate the GR for this item as non-valuated (as the item has been ordered for direct consumption).
In the Distribution field, specify whether the costs are to be apportioned on a quantity basis or by percentage.
In the Partial invoice field, specify whether the value of a partial invoice is to be allocated to individual account assignment items successively, whereby one is debited in full before a posting is made to another one (in which case, some account assignment items may not be debited at all as a result of a particular invoice), or whether the value of such a partial invoice is to be distributed among all account assignment items in equal portions.
5.For each account assignment item, enter either the quantity or the percentage of the total value to be charged to the relevant account assignment item.
To enter further items with the same account assignment data, choose Edit -> Repeat account assignment -> Switch on. The account assignment data will then be automatically adopted in the next item.
6.Repeat as necessary for other items.
7.Save the purchase order.
A vendor submits an invoice for 60% of the total order value. The cost of the ordered goods is to be divided equally among cost centers 1 - 5 (that is, 20% of the total cost is to be borne by each).
If you specified for the PO item that the value of a partial invoice is to be debited to the individual account assignment items on a "progressive fill-up" basis, cost centers 1 to 3 will each be debited with their full 20% share of the total cost on the basis of this partial invoice, whereas cost centers 4 and 5 will not be charged at all. (The latter two cost centers will not be debited until the remaining amount is invoiced.)

Partial invoice with multiple account assignment

I'm using PO with multiple account assignment with distribution by percentage and proportional distribution for partial invoice.
When i post invoice verification for this kind of orders the amount and quantity field in PO item are closed for update and no automatic proportional distribution has been performed.
The only possibility to update amount in case of partial invoice is to update amount of each account assignment manually (using account assignment button).
Why the amount and quantity fields are closed for update?
How i can post partial invoice for multiple account assignment order without manual distribution of changed amounts among different account assignments items?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks Charlie.
I am aware of that. But do we have that "partial invoice" field where we can select teh distribution as proportionate or sequence.
My POs item are having around 30 to 45 account assignments. In that case it is not possible to manual distribute the amount.
Please advise.
Thanks,

Undeleting a PO line item with multiple account assignment and PO history

I am getting error message
PO history already exists (Multiple account assignment not possible)
Message no. MEPO841
When attempting to undelete a purchase order line item that has GR (nonvaluated) and Invoice postings.
Sequence of events.
PO line item was created with mutlitple account assignments ( 50/50 distribution) and GR nonval flags on.
Invoice Posted (blocked for payment)
GR done
PO line item marked for deletion.
Now getting MEPO841 when attempting to undelete.
Tried to Reverse GR and cancel material docuement - unable to do so - message no selectable items in PO
(even with check zero indicator )

Hello Dan ,
Error message MEPO 841 is only issued if you have Multiple account assignment function (MAA) activated. Multiple account assignment function is a new business function developed in Release 604.
If you have MAA active, you are not allowed to change a single account assigned PO which has GR posted to a multiple accounts assigned PO. If this is tried , MEPO 841 will stop you from doing this change.
If you want to have your old functionality in the lower release, you should switch off the business function LOG_MM_MAA_1 ( MM Multiple Account Assignment ) in Release 604.
Please switch the business function LOG_MM_MAA_1 off in test environment and test the problem again in a productive system.
I hope this information has been helpful in solving your problem. Please let me know if you have any further questions.
Thank you.
Best Regards,
Frank Farinella

Parked MM invoice and multiple account assignments (table RBCO) ?

Hi.
Could someone please explain how the table RBCO works for parked MM invoice and multiple account assignments.
What I have observed in this table are:
1. Every position (table RSEG) in the invoice can have several lines (table RBCO) with account assignment.
2, If there is only one record for a position, the key in the table RBCO starts with 0002, field RBCO-COBL_NR (???)
3. IF I add one more line to the psoition, the first line CHANGES the key in table RBCO from 0002 to 0001 and the second line gets RBCO-COBL_NR = 0002
4. The third line gets 0003.
5. If i delete line 1-2, the remaining one line gets a new key feild RBCO-COBL_NR = 0002.
The reason for understanding how this works is that i need to make a Z-table storing the history of changes done to records in table RBCO (..dont ask why...)
Lest say, I make a change for in an invoice for one of the positions, how do I compare the values in the itab, YDRSEG[]-CO[]- with the lines in table RBCO ?
And whats the logic for the key in table RBCO?
Please advice, Tom

Software updates won't install with multiple accounts

I'm using an iMac with multiple accounts. When I go to update software, the box comes up and lists the updates. Great. When I click install, it says it must restart in order to install the updates. Fine. But after it restarts it goes to the login page, and once I login, it seems to forget that it's in the midst of an install. I've tried this many times, from many other accounts.
How can I get it to follow through with the updates without getting stuck at the login page?
Thanks

Are the apps installed in the main Applications folder or in each User's Applications folder? Apps installed in the root folder will be available for each user. Apps installed in a User's Applications folder is individual to that User. You can drag these apps to the root Applications folder for easy updating.
