Validations in srm for the account assignment category

After selecting the account assignment category i want to make some fields as mandatory like GL account. how can i do that.
thanks
kishore

Hi Kishore,
First of all let me tell you that I don't know the answer of this query. But I too had same problem in one of my previous project.
Frankly speaking, If we think over this issue from FiCo (specifically controlling)  point of view- allowing users to choose G/L account would not enforce any hard control over G/L account selection which could cause terrible issues in reporting within Controlling. In order to exercise hard controls to ensure accurate reporting, I guess this selection of G/L account by user should be refrained.
Functionally, best possible solution would be to devide that particular product category into sub-categories (new prd categories) which would then have 1-1 relation with G/L accounts. Probably you can have a word with your Finance guy and let him know the consequences.
Please let me know your views.
Regards,
Amit

  • 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

  • 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

  • Ability to modify Account Assignment Category for Service Item Categories

    Dear experts,
    Our customer has a requirement to modify the account assignment category when the item category is set to "D" services on a PR and PO line item. This scenario is specific to indirect procurement scenarios in SAP ECC 6.0 MM.
    End users may potentially create a PR against a service item category with an incorrect account assignment category. These PRs are created using free form text. No service master exists in these scenarios. During the approval process or during PO creation, an approver or the buyer may need to correct the account assignment category. The account assignment category is "display" only and cannot be modified when the item category is set to "D". The user must delete the line item and create a new line item with the correct account assignment category. The copy function cannot be used because the account assignment copies from the existing line and cannot be modified.
    Any recommendations to this issue using standard SAP configuration solutions?
    Thanks,
    Jennifer

    Item Category to Account Assignment Category combination is already configured. For Service Item Category, we have three account assignment categories configured. All three categories are valid in different scenarios. Sometimes the user selects the incorrect account assignment category (out of the three available) depending on the business scenario. PT9F configuration is already set to Account Assignment category "optional". However, the account assignment category still cannot be modified on the PR when the item category is "D" service.
    Any other recommendations?

  • 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.

  • Where can I define Account assignment category for order settlement rules

    Dear Gurus,
        When I used Tcode: CO07 to create a rework order for parent order. But I cann't find the Account assignment category = Ord (Order) in the maintain Settlement rule overview.
      Where can I define Account assignment category for order settlement rules?
      Please help me. Thanks!
    Regards
    Paul.

    I've resolved this question.
        Firstly, run OPJH - Define Order Types, we should assign settlement profile for the order type.
        Secondly, Run OKO7-Maintain Settlement Profile, find and mailtain the settlement profile. In 'Valid Receivers' we should set the field 'Order' = 1-(Settlement Optional).
        Thirdly, run CO07 - Create Order without material. We can find account assignment catetory 'ORD' in maintaining Settlement rule.

  • Account assignment category for Service Confirmations

    Hi,
    We are on SRM_SERVER 550, SP11, SAP 4.7 backend.
    While performing Service confirmations in SRM, the Account assignment category defaulted is different from that mentioned in shopping cart.
    for e.g. If I create a shopping cart for a Service item with Account assignment category as "K - Expense" and on creation of PO when I try doing confirmation, the Account assignment category defaulted is for "Asset - Z", on the confirmation screen.
    Please let me know how this issue can be resolved.
    Note: In SRM PO and R/3 PO, the Account assignment category displayed is "K", same as that mentioned in shopping cart.
    Thanks,
    Kiran

    Yes, Requester can change the Accunt assignment category. But in our scenario, we need to display the same Accunt assignment category as that in shopping cart, as Requester/Central Recipient will do the confirmation directly without changing the Accunt assignment category, similar to Goods confirmation.
    The issue is: How do we default the same Accunt assignment category in the Confirmation screen, which is present in shopping cart.

  • 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!

  • Default the GR based IV check in PO based on account assignment category

    Hi Experts,
    We have the below business requirement based on GR based IV check in the PO. We knows that this can be automatically defaulted by using the two master records.
    1.Vendor master,
    2.Purchase info record.
    But our cilents needs this field to be automated based on the account assignment category.  Because lot of vendors are created without the activiation of this check box also they do not want to go by mass upload transaction to change the master records.
    They want only based on the account assignement category. For example if a PO is created using the account assignement K then this GR based IV is selected automatically.
    Kindly adivce any configuration setting is available to fullfill this requiremennt.

    Hi,
    unfortunately the GR based IV can not be set in OME9 (in customizing).
    In ME21N, if it is normal PO, GR Based IV indicator is not set. But if 
    item category = D, GR Based IV indicator is automatically set by       
    system.                                                                
    Best regards

  • Account assignment category to be greyed out for Scheduling agreement

    Hi all,
    I have a scenario where in, I do not want to have the Account assignment category during creation of Scheduling agreement, but we need to incorporate the account assignment during Goods receipt.
    Can i have your inputs in steps for making this possible?
    Have a great day
    Regards,
    Sasi

    Hi,
    I think this is not possible since ACC flow from SA to GR.
    Just before generating GR put ACC in SA.
    Hope it helps

  • Account Assignment Category in Rework Order for non valuated material

    Friends,
    We created non valuated material for rework. I want to accumulate the rework cost. When i am trying in CO02 = Header = Settlement Rule where the category is MAT but I want it to be ORD.
    How that category is changed to ORD, so that I can able to accumulate cost with respect to order?

    Hi,
    Whether you are creating the rework order with material? Actually rework order is supposed to be created without material with transaction CO07. Here in this case you have to define the account assignment category ORD in settlement rule.
    In some cases to meet the requirement we can create the rework order with material also through transaction CO01/CO08, but in this case the account assignment category will be MAT by default. Therefore you cannot change it to ORD.
    Hence you need to create rework order to have account assignment category ORD w/o material only.

  • Account assignment category cannot be changed for limit items

    HI all,
    I am getting same error in RZ20
    Instance POXXXXX of object type PurchaseOrder cou ld not be changed
    Purchase order still contains faulty items
    Account assignment category cannot be changed for limit items
    PO is created with service item and it is in backend.
    When it is changed it is giving error. User is added contract no# on change version.
    Could you please share the solution...

    sometimes sap throws unwanted error messages. these are example notes
    415346  ME21n, ME456 when filling the account assignment type
    411883  ME21N, ME456 when filling the account assignment category
    403537  PO from PReq with different account assignment type: E456
    Using Transaction ME21N,you create a purchase order for external service and add a new item by copying a request for quotation. If the request for quotation does not have a plant, when you enter the assignment category, the system displays error message ME456 "Account assignment category cannot be changed for limit items". Also there is no account assignment change involved.
    Additional key words
    what exactly you are trying to change the carts?

  • Where to configure Account Assignment Category for WBS Settlement Rule?

    Hi,
    I would like to know where is the Account Assignment Category for WBS settlement rule (FXA, CTR, G/L, WBS)  being configured. (SPRO Path)
    Currently when I go to our settlement rule creation screen I can only see WBS and FXA, I need to add MAT (Material)
    Thanks!
    Regards,
    Vivian

    Hi Shrikant,
    Do you mean in my CJ02 WBS Settlement Rule creation screen, I cannnot put MAT as account assignment category?
    Does it mean that WBS element CANNOT be settled to material? and we can only settle PM order to material?
    Thanks!

  • 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.

  • Account assignment category for Packaging mterial

    When I create purchase order for a packaging materials , it is asking for a account assignment category. We dont want to create accounting documents as well as we dont want to use account assignment category. Is there any way to suppress the error message - account assignment mantory for material type?

    Hi,
    For Packing materials which material type you used. I think you have created in Non stock materials/Non Valuated Materials material type.
    If you use NLAG material type then you need to enter the A/c assignment category.
    So always for Packing Materials you should use VERP Material type. As Packing materials are Inventory items so you don't need to enter the Account assignment category in PO.
    Hope you got it.
