Is it possible to create a blanket purchase order/framework requisition with combination item category B = limit, and account assignment : F ?
Thanks in advance.

Hi A.Purihella / Raj,
Thanks for your reply
I have maintained the B and F combination in the customization.
But when I am creating the PR using item category B with account assignment F (order) and after pressing enter, this account assignment F vanished from the PR and that field also turns in to gray mode. So system is not allowing to use u2018Fu2019 with B item category.
Have you used or tested this scenario of using combination item category B with account assignment F (order) in PR and PO.
Best Regards,
Sachin

Defining G/L Account for product category and account assignment category

We are using the standard configuration to default in a G/L account for a given product category and account assignment category combination. This works well for us when it comes to the shopping transactions (i.e. BBPSC01, BBPSC02, etc.), however we have a problem with this logic in the carry out sourcing transction BBPSOCO01. Our users are creating describe requirements which are then delivered to BBPSOCO01, however the user is not assigning the correct product category, so the sourcing department updates the cart with the correct product category. Upon doing so, the G/L account gets changed to whatever the V_BBP_DET_ACCT table determines is correct for that given product category/account assignment combination. We would like to know if their is a way to not fire the "default G/L account determination" when the shopping cart is changed in transaction BBPSOCO01. I already know about the BBP_DETERMINE_ACCT BADI but thought there might be a less expensive alternative. Our business treats the G/L account provided by the configuration as a guideline, therefore when the buyer changes the product category they also want to retain the account assignment information. Any suggesstions on how this might be accomplished outside of creating my own logic in the BADI?

I got the same message trying to make an entry in SPRO:
Define Backend System for Product Category
I found the note 305942 describing exactly the issue for my and above mentioned entry, which offers the correction, then the note 326802 which offers the correction of the first notes. However, both notes are for Releases 4.6C and D (from 2000), and we are using EHP2 FOR SAP SRM 7.0.
I see another discussions in SCN regarding this topic, but haven't found real solution yet. Any hints? At least the answer to previous question from Sharan would be appreciated.

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

Define G/L Account for Product Category and Account Assignment Category

Hello Experts,
I got a requirment to make a new entry in below SPRO path.
Define G/L Account for Product Category and Account Assignment Category
*Individual entries cannot be put into the change request*
*Message no. SV141*
*Diagnosis*
*For technical reasons, the entries cannot be fully specified in the change request. There are two possible reasons for this:*
*1. The key of an entry is longer than 120 characters. All entries whose keys match up to character 119, are then copied into the change request, rather than an individual entry.*
*2. The key of an entry contains fields of special data types, for example, packed numbers. The key can only be specified in the change request up to the first such field from the left.*
*all entries whose keys match up to character 26 are copied into the change request, rather than a single entry.*
*System Response*
*The selected entry is copied into the change request correctly, but other entries may be copied as well.*
My question is, If I make one entry and move to Quality and production system will it move only one entry or whole table will move?
Kindly help me.
Thanking you
Regards
Sharan

Purchase order and Account assignement category- Change

hi.,
We are trying to receive the Purchase order of High value components into INVENTORY.
However, most of these Purchase Orders were created with account assignments.
Because of that, if we receives these POs, they will be consumed against the object identified in the account assignment.
Additionally, some of these have been invoiced already and would need to be backed out from the finance side.
Question: How can we receive these STO Purchase orders and then make changes through Movement type ( or any other way ) so that the HIgh Value Components that are consumed against that AC assignment can be subsequently moved into Invenotory.
Also, what are the other options ( FI will not open Previous period) so that the PO's which have been invoiced can be reversed against that AC assignment.
Thanks All

hi Rajesh.,
As mentioned earlier, these Purchase orders are STO's which have been already created and we are waiting to do the GR for the same. Items in the STO PO are of High value which we need to bring into INVENTORY.
But, because these STO PO's were created with account assignments, if we do GR now, they will be consumed against the object identified in the account assignment.
Some of these STO PO's have been invoiced already and FI has indicated that they could cancel the invoices for those STO PO's in previous posting period.
Question again : How can we receive these STO Purchase orders and then make changes through Movement type ( or any other way ) so that the HIgh Value Components that are consumed against that AC assignment can be subsequently moved into Inventory and not to a cost Center (202)
Step (1) Can we cancel the Invoiced items> reverse the GR for invoiced Items>reverse STO for PO ?
Step (2) Can we reverse the STO for PO for which GR has not been done? then
Step (3) Change the PO through ME22N, remove the Account assignment category?
Or how do we correct this situation for
(1) PO's already invoiced.
(2) PO for which GR has not been made. How can we receive them into Stock and not Cost center.
Anticipating a reply
Thanks

Exact difference between Item category and Account assignment category

Can anyone plz give the exact difference between account assignment category and Item category
Thanks inadvance

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.

Change account assignment category for services with ME22N

Dear guru ,
i have created a purchase order for a position with item category D(service) and account assignment category K(cost centre). I have inserted for the accounting view the cost center.
After the saving If I a try to change the purchase order position with ME22N the system donu2019t allow to change the account assignment category (F order instead of K).
I have verified that for other positions with account assignment category K(cost centre) but for Item category blank(standard) the system allow to change the account assignment category if not exist goods receipt or invoice.
Whatu2019s the problem about services ?
Thanks

Hi,
Usually the Account assigned PO's are fixed with Account assignment, you cann't modify the account assignment once it is saved.
It depends on the IMG settings for Account assignment category.
Check the following IMG Settings
SPROMMPurchasingAccount assignment-Maintain account assignment categories
Here check for "K" --Costcentre in the detailed information if the checkbox at Acct assignment changable then only you can modify the Account assignment category modification in PO, otherwise not possible.

Invoice verification for blanket PO with account assignment category U (un

Hi all
While doing miro when i am doing invoice verification for blanket PO with account assignment category U (unknown) system is not allowing me to enter the GL it is disable,wat can be the possible reason
Regards
shailesh

Hi Shailesh,
As you have maintained the account assignment category as U the account assignment tab will not be available. If you want to enter a GL account then use the Account assignments K or F or X.
Else if you want to use U in PO then you can give the GL account and other account assignment details only in the Invoice verification.

Account Assignment Category in VOV6

People,
Can any one explain the meaning of Account Assignment category in VOV6. Found some answers on Google but were not explaining the real use of it. Can any one use a real scenario to explain the answer
Ahmed

Two things,
1. Why VOV6 has account Assignment Category?
Ans. Sometimes, in order to fulfill Sales Order we need to do external procurement (PR). Especially when we are not manufacturing it. We can differentiate between different Purchase process on the basis of the combination of Item Category and Account Assignment Category. Thats why VOV6 contains both Item Category and Account Assignment Category
2. What is the use of Account Assignment Category?
Ans. Every PO raised by an user is a cost to the company. If we raise a PO we should know who is accountable (which department) and hence the G/L account to which cost will be booked against. Account assignment category is used for this purpose. With this we can display fields in PO like Sales Order, Cost Center, Internal Order etc.

Assign Account assignment category to multiple cost centers in SRM

Hi All,
We are Implementing SRM 5.5, Extended Classic Scenario for Goods and Services (Stock and Consumables).
I have 400 cost centers. How to assign G/L Accounts to multiple cost centers, in Define G/L Accounts for Account assignment category and Product category?.
I guess, By using BADI - BBP_DETERMINE_ACCT. If this is correct, Do we have to develop any ZTABLE for this. Or only BADI enough?.
Please anyone explain details.
Thanks in Advance.
Thanks & Regards,
John.
Edited by: johnmiller465 on Aug 21, 2009 8:32 AM

Hi,
Cost Center is related with user. Setting is attributes in PPOMA_BBP.
G/L account is related with Product category and Account Assignment Category. Setting is in standard customizing table.
If standard customizing is not enough, you can use BBP_DETERMINE_ACCT BADI.

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.

PO with account assignment category K and use two cost center

Dear Experts
When I create a PO with account assignment category K and use two cost center in the account assigment tab of PO with the same GL or with different GL in the both line item, The FI document does not get posted.
Any input on this please.
Regards
Paul

Hi,
Check in the PO document - Item level - Delivery tab
There are two indicators
1. Good receipt
2. GR non-valuated.
If you are giving only one cost centre, only GR check box active and GR non-valuated check box is in-active. That's why System creating FI document during GR.
If you are giving two cost centres, Both GR check box and GR non-valuated check box are active. That's why System is not creating any FI documents during GR.
