PO with new account assignment category to G/L without CO object

Hello all,
A customer in a company I work for asked me to create a new account assignment category (AAC) with G/L account as mandatory field and no CO object as mandatory.
He would like to create a PO with this AAC directly to balance-sheet account without any CO invloved (such as PO to stock) without a material.
I have bad feelings about this process but I do not have anything substantial to convince him against it.
Am I wrong ? Is this process allowed ? What "bad things" may happen if we use this process ?
Any help will be appreciated,
Thanks,
Isaac

Sir -
These stuffs are done by many indian companies to inject some bad accounts. If this is a requirement, no choices left.
It is possible to enter the material text and u can proceed with the things u need. You can create the value contract for this requirement.
Thanks,
Shiva

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 ?

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.

New account assignment category in OPJP

Hi,
Intend to have another account assignment category (apart from standard
F) for order category 10 (PP order) and Doc type NB for a specific
requirement . It appears that standard SAP does not have that
provision.
Please inform how to create a new document type and / or a new account
assignment category for order category 10.
Thanks in advance.
With regards,
Mrinal

Hi Fabio,
As far as I know that´s the standard behaviour. There are some checks in the system at the time of creating a PO, so when you fill any field the EKPO-KNTTP remains unchangeable.
You can check that this is hard-coded this way in program
SAPLMECO, in include LMECOU04 :
   IF I_PSTYP EQ PSTYP-DIEN OR
      I_PSTYP EQ PSTYP-BLNK.
Dienstleistungspositionen nicht ändern
     MESSAGE E456(ME) WITH I_KNTTP RAISING CHANGE_NOT_ALLOWED.
   ENDIF.
Review note 570767 as well.
This is hard coded so you can not change the account assignment. Please
see the below code. You can set a breakpoint and test this.

Error with Account Assignment Category

Hi,
While Creating the PO I am getting this error. I just copied the Material type of ROH into Consumables..
In OMS2 alos I ticked Qty and Value based Updating..
The Error Msg is...
Account assignment mandatory for material RH1001 (enter acc. ***. cat.) Message no. ME062
Diagnosis
There is no provision for value-based inventory management for this material type in this plant. Account assignment is thus necessary.
Procedure
Please enter an account assignment category.
Rgs,
Priya.

Sorry for my earlier Post.....
Actually for Consumable Material Quantity and Value Updations Should not be Active since they consume Once it is Goods Receipted.
Regarding your Issue Purchase Order for Consumable Material will be always Created with an Account assignment Category Such as Cost center Etc.
So Please go to OMS2 Trxn Code and Select your Consumable Material type and in Quantity / Value Update Field Put tick mark against In No Valuation areas and save.
Now Create a Purchase Order in ME21N with Account assignment Category and Proceed.

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

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!

Account Assignment category in Limit order confirmations in SRM 4.0

Hello
We are using SRM 4.0 in extended classic scenario.
When entering the confirmations for limit orders in SRM, users add the limit/ service items.
After SP14 recently, the " account assignment category" is not set in the added lines , same as the
PO .
Rather the account assignment category is the first one from the available list.
Any suggestions / notes for this issue?
Regards
Kedar

Hi,
1. In customising (SPRO) in R/3 you need to create the corrpesponding account assignment category with the relevant fields specified.
2. In customising (SPRO) in SRM you need to create the new account assignment category and specify it as active plus the backend system reference. You can then assign the cost assignment types that are applicable and those that are mandatory.
I haven't got access to a system at the minute so can't give you the menu paths in customising but for R/3 it is under Materials Management > Purchasing and then look for Account Assignment. For SRM it is in Cross Application Components and then look for Account Assignment.

Account assignment category Asset to Cost Center in po items

Hey,
We have a Question how to handle this Exception:
We have purchase order items with the account assignment category "A - Asset" and we have created Asset master data. Later, this assignment category is changed to "K - Cost Center". But the Asset Master Data is still there.
How to handle this in the future? Do we have to delete the purchase order items with the account assignment category "A - Asset" and have to create new items with assignment category "K - Cost Center"?
Thanks!

Hi
Once you change the acct assnment category to K, then there is no need for asset master. You can take help of your FICO consultant for deleting the asset master. You changed acct assnment in PO?
Thanks

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.

Hi,
Create network parameters in sales document (SD)
You can make the default settings required to create a network from a sales order in the menu options Basic data -> Standard structures -> Parm. SalesOrd->Ntwk (Parameters for sales order -> network).
If you do not enter data here, you can also enter the necessary data online directly in the sales order.
The data in the material master actually controls whether a network can be created from a sales order item. To set this up, you should enter the core information like (assembly type, order type (i.e. network or order type) configuration, account assignment category) in the requirements class for the material. The requirements class is determined by the strategy group (see above) which was maintained in the material master.
Therefore, if you want to be able to create a network while working in a sales order, you must have maintained the corresponding MRP data or strategy group for the material being sold.
Standard settings
SAP has predefined the following strategy groups:
83: Assembly processing with network, account assignment category E (assignment to sales document. A network with network type PS05 (header assignment) is created.
85: Assembly processing with network/project, account assignment category D (assignment to project). A network with network type PS04 (activity assignment) is created.
In both cases, the system automatically creates a network with network type PS04.
Recommendation
Do not change the default settings that SAP provides in Customizing. You can use these defaults to set up your own strategy groups, requirement types etc. and specify other network types or other settings for the availability check.
Note
When values are missing from the sales order item, such as the plant, the system cannot determine the requirements type which means that it also cannot create a network from the sales order.
In order to have the scheduled dates in the network be copied into the sales document as confirmed dates, you must have maintained scheduling parameters for network type PS04 and PS05 in Customizing.
Keep this in mind when you define your own network types.
Among the scheduling parameters to be maintained, you should set the indicator reconcile basic dates .
You must set this indicator if you want the system to copy the scheduled dates into the basic dates and then pass them on to the sales order as confirmed dates.
Hope this will resolve your problem.

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
