Relation between Account assignment category & Document type of PR

Hi,
For PR doc type "CP" -Capital PR, we have created the "Y" as accout assignment category,i.e currently system is allowing to make the PR for doc type for CP with Y as a accout assignment category.
Now our requirement is that, system should allow to make the PR for caital items with Doc type "CP" with " A" &" U" as a account assigment categoty.
I want to know where the relationship between account assigment category & Doc type is maintained?
Is it in Configuration or some user exist is used?
Regards,
CVB

Hi
There is no direct relation between doc type & Acc *** category. There is an indicator to control if you want to use Acco assingment or not. ( No acc assignment indicator in Document type setting)
Document typr is linked with Item category in Customizing
IMG>MM>PR>DOc type
Inturn Item category is linked with Acc *** categories.
IMG>MM>Acc ***> Link item cata & acc *** cat
Hope it helps

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!

Hi,
Account Assignment Category: 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 data (e.g. cost center, account number, etc.) is required for the item.
Item category: Identifier indicating the characteristics of an item. The item category determines whether the following are necessary or allowed with regard to an item:
Material number, Additional account assignment, Inventory management in the R/3 System, Goods receipt, Invoice receipt.

What is the differences between the account assignment category of E and M?

Hi, I have a question about account assignment category.I hope someone give me the answer , and I would appreciate it.
    as you know, there are so many account assignment categories (e.g. A:asset,K:cost center)in sap customizing,when we want to purchase asset, we will input A to the field of account assignment category in purchase order.
     When will we input E or M in purchase order? What will it imply when we input E or M in purchase order? What is the differences between the account assignment category of E and M?
Best Regards
Bob Wang

Vijay,Thanks for your answer,but I am still not clear about it,I have a instance to describe my question at detail.
    If there is a final product A, and the planning strategy for A is 20(MTO), the procurement type of A is F(external procurement) at the view mrp2 in the material master datas.
step1: I creat a sales order.
step2: run MRP for A.
step3: transfer the purchase requistion into a purchase order,and the field of acc.***.cat. in the purchase order will be filled out M automatically, because the acc.***.cat. in the planning strategy 20(MTO) is set with E.
    Well, the purchase order is created, what is the relationship between the sales order and the purchase order? What will be happened about costing between the SO and the PO?
    If I delete the E, I make the PO become a standard PO, what is difference between standard PO and the PO including E?
Best Regards
Bob

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

Relation between accounting document and vendor

Hello,
What is the relation between Accounting Document Header ( BKPF ) and Vendor Master ( LFA1 ) ?
I need to provide a report for total number of documents for a particular vendor.
Thank you.

Hello,
LFA1 is just a master data table.
To get the number of open items you refer table BSIK
To get the number of cleared items, you refer table BSAK
These two tables gives you the number of line items posted on vendors.
Hope this is informative.

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.

Hi
Thanks all of you for your valuable input.
In MM they had already created release strategy on the bassis of Purchase group, Account assignemnt category, material group and value and they dont want to change the release startegy.
Account assignment category K (cost center) is subject to diffrent release strategy and account assigment category F(PM/CO Order) is subject to diffrent relese startegy.
When i creat a PR from investment order or capital order its picks account assignment F by default.
But when i craete a PR from general maitenance order it should pick the account assigmnet category "K".

ASSET CODE FOR ACCOUNT ASSIGNMENT CATEGORY IN PURCHASE ORDER.

Sir,
greetings!!!
here is a procedure we follow...
We create asset code(AS01) for capital items. when createing Capital purchase order for the item, we give A as asset for assignment category which then asks for asset code in acc assignment cat tab. this is a general process.
Now problem is that I want the field of account assignment category in PO item tab to be automatically populated with the asset code at the time when I put the material and plant i.e capital item.
Is it possible.
What is happening is that the user while creating PO is not at all selecting correct asset code with reference to capital item, that has a huge effect on asset accounting..
please provide

Hello,
As such there is no standard thing available, but there is one thing that you can do, that is
Create a PO document type for Assets and for that document type allow only account assignment A and delete rest including standard account assignment that is blank.
This way, once a person choose the document type for Assets, he will have to give the account assignment A.

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

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

Create Purchase Order - Account Assignment Category Q

Hi experts,
I'm trying to create a purchase order with account assignment category "Q" and the system show me the error message ME083 - Enter GR non-valuated.
The material type is HIBE. The Quantity and value updating are flagged.
Does anybody can help me?
Thanks in advance.
Osmar.

Hi Jurgen,
It was necessary change the settings below.
SPRO -> IMG -> MM -> Purchasing -> Purchase Order -> Define Screen
Layout at Document Level
FldSI = AKTV ( change )
Field selection group = GR/IR control
GR/IR indicator = required entry.
Set the GR/IR indicator to "Opt. entry".
With that, the issue message ME083 will not appear when the Flag "GR
non-valuated" is unchecked.
Thanks.
