FAQ: Account Assignement in SAP Purchasing
Account assignement : g/l account for a sales order.
Question: Why is the G/L account for a sales order with nonvaluated individual sales order stock different from the account with valuated indivi dual sales order stock?
Answer: See Note 458270.
Multiple Account Assignment in Purchasing
Question: Can you create several assets at the same time in the new purchasing transactions?
Answer: You can create several assets at the same time. However, you must first ensure that at least as many account assignment lines have bee n created as the number of assets that you want to create. You can do this very easily using the copy function.
G/L Account is not saved if switch to a material group
Question: You create a purchase order with account assignment using transaction ME22. You enter a material group, from which a G/L account is de termined using the valuation class. If you then switch to a material group that does not determine a G/L account via the valuation class, the system deletes the previous G/L account and prompts you to enter a G/L account. If you cancel the account assignment screen and change the material group back on the item detail screen, the previously determined G/L account is not determined again. Why is this ?
Answer: Unfortunately, this system behavior cannot be changed. First, enter any G/L account, so that the item is valid. If you then switch to the old material group again, the system also determines the correct G/L account again.
Entering the same account assignments for different items
Question: Is there an easy way of entering the same account assignments for different items in the new EnjoySAP transactions?
Answer: Ensure that Note 315676 has been implemented in your system and follow the procedure described there
Repeat account assignment function not work in the new EnjoySAP
Question: Why does the repeat acc. assignment function not work in the new EnjoySAP transactions when you create new account assignments in multiple acc. assign. ?
Solution: Use the copy function in multiple acc. assignment to create identical account assignment lines. You can use the repeat account assi gnment function to create similar account assignments for different items with the same account assignment category. To do this, proce ed as described in the answer to question 4.
Issue message KI 161 “Cost center &/& does n ot exist on &
Question: When you change the account assignment of an existing purchase order, why does the system issue message KI 161 “Cost center &/& does n ot exist on &” ? The same phenomenon occurs for other account assignment objects (for example, profit center).
Solution: Refer to Note 193371.
Can you create assets from the single account assignment screen?
Solution: Assets can only be created from the multiple account assignment screen (“Account assignment” tab). You can switch between single account assignment and multiple account assignment on the “Account assignment” tab page by clicking the icon above on the left.
Why does the system not display an account assignment tab page even though you have entered an account assignment category?
Solution: After you have implemented Note 520149, the account assignment tab is not displayed until all the required information is available, for example, the company code.
Why are account assignment objects derived in some situations, even though the relevant field on the account assignment tab page is hidden?
Solution: Refer to Note 619203.
ME 453 “Changing consump. or spec. stock indicator not allowed
You create a purchase order with reference to a subcontracting purchase requisition. This purchase requisition was created with an unknown account assignment, that is, account assignment category “U”. When you change the account assignment category in the purchase order, the system issues error message ME 453 “Changing consump. or spec. stock indicator not allowed (subcontracting)”.
Solution: See Note 205597
Select a valuated goods receipt together with multiple account assignment
Why can you not select a valuated goods receipt together with multiple account assignment in a purchase order or purchase requisition?
Solution: See Note 204252.
EBAN-FISTL, -GEBER, -KBLNR, -GRANT and -FKBER (as in table EKPO) empty
Funds Management is active. Why are the fields EBAN-FISTL, -GEBER, -KBLNR, -GRANT and -FKBER (as in table EKPO) empty? Solution: These fields are only filled if the account assignment category is set to “blank”. If you maintain an account assignment category in t he purchasing document, the system adds the information from these fields to the EBKN table (as in EKKN).
AA 334 “You cannot post to this asset (Asset & & blocked for acquisitions)
You try to change a purchase order item with acc. assignment category “A”, which contains a locked asset. The system issues error message AA 334 “You cannot post to this asset (Asset & & blocked for acquisitions)”. Solution: This is the standard system design. To make changes to this purchase order item, you have the following two options:
a) If you no longer require the purchase order item with the blocked asset, delete the purchase order item. b) Otherwise, you must activate the asset, make the required changes to the purchase order item, and then block the asset again.
The indicator for the account assignment screen
Question: What is the meaning of the indicator for the account assign. screen that you can set in Customizing for single account assignment/m ultiple account assignment? Solution: The indicator determines which account assignment screen is used by default for maintaining the account assign. for a purchase orde r item. For the EnjoySAP transactions, this value is simply a proposal that you can change in the purchasing document. For the old transactions, this value is the only one that you can use.
Question: Is there an unknown account assign. for standard purchase orders?
Solution: This is generally not allowed, and the system issues message ME 069 “Unknown account assignment not defined for use here”. There is an exception in the case of service items that are created with item category D (service) or B (limit).
Acc. Assignment check is not performed when Purchase Order is updated
Question: You change data in a purchase order item (for example, purchase order value, delivery date, and so on). Why does the system not perform another acc. assignment check?
Solution: This is the standard system design. When you created the purchase order item, if the system already checked the acc. assignment and there were no errors, another acc.?assignment check only takes place if you change a field that is relevant to account assign.?(for example, quantity, material number, and so on). If this system response does not meet your requirements, implement the account assignment check in the BAdI ME_PROCESS_PO_CUST. The BA dI is called each time the purchase order is changed.
“In case of account assignment, please enter acc. assignment data for item”
Question: If you delete all the account assign?lines that were entered in the account assignment screen, the system exits the account assign. tab page and goes to the material data. In addition, the system issues the error message “In case of account assignment, please enter acc. assignment data for item”.
Answer: In the current system design, if you delete all the account assignment lines, the system assumes that you do not want to maintain any account assignment data. This conflicts with the account assignment category and the system issues error message 06 436. You can then remove the account assignment indicator. Procedure: If you want to delete all the account assignment data that was entered, see the answer to question 24.
Third-party order processing (CS) and individual purchase order processing (CB)
Question: Which account assignment categories should you enter in schedule line categories for third-party order processing (CS) and individual purchase order processing (CB)? Solution: See Note 210997.
G/L Account is not transfered from Valuation class
Question: In a blanket purchase order or blanket purchase requisition with account assignment, you subsequently change the material group. Even though the new material group is assigned to another G/L account via the valuation class, the system does not redetermine the account assignment for the relevant item. The old G/L account remains.
Solution: See Note 449216.

Customizing Account assignment fields as required entry, optional entry, or display fields
Question: In Customizing, you can set the, or as completely hidden fields, depending on the account assignment category. These settings also determine whether the system deletes or retains the values for the account assignment fields when you change the account assignment category in a purchase order item.
Answer: In Customizing for materials management (MM), when you maintain account assignment categories (IMG: Materials Management-> Purchasing -> Account Assignment-> Maintain Account Assignment Categories), you can control the different account assignment fields as follows: Required entry: You must make an entry in the field, otherwise the system issues error message ME 083.
- Optional entry: Entry in this field is optional.
- Display: The field is displayed, but it is not ready for input.
- Hidden: The field is hidden. Example:
The acc. assignment category is K, the cost center is an optional entry field and it is filled with the value 1000. You change the acc. assignment category to P. Subject to the field settings for the cost center for the acc. assignment category P, the system response is as follows: The cost center is a required entry or an optional entry field: The system transfers the value 1000 for the cos t center.The cost center is a display field: First, the value 1000 for the cost center is deleted. If the system can determine a value again after you enter the changed acc. assignment category, this value is transferred. The cost center is a hidden field: The system deletes the value 1000 for the cost center.
System ignores the acc. assignment data of the purchase requisition for the second schedule line.
Question: You create a purchase order item assigned to an account with reference to a purchase requisition. For this purchase order item, you create a second schedule line with reference to another purchase requisition. The system ignores the acc. assignment data of the purchase requisition for the second schedule line. Solution: This is the standard system design. The system does not generate multiple acc. assignment in the purchase order item, even if the t wo referenced purchase requisitions are assigned to different CO objects. Refer to Note 47150 for the old transactions and to Notes 422609 and 771045 for the EnjoySAP transactions.
Undelete an item in a purchase requisition if assignment data is no longer valid
Question: Why can you undelete an item in a purchase requisition if the corresponding acc. assignment data is no longer valid? Solution: When you undelete an item in a purchase requisition, the system does not perform a new acc. assignment check. Therefore, the accoun t assignment data is not checked again. Nevertheless, errors occur if you try to create a purchase order with reference to this purchase requisition. When you undelete an item in a purchase order, however, the system does perform another acc. assignment check.
Transfer of Acc. Assign. with Reference Document
Question: You create a purchasing document with reference to a reference document. What account assig. data is transferred? Solution: The acc. assignment data is derived from the reference document. If you delete the acc.?assignment category and enter it again, a new automatic general ledger account determination takes place.
Question What is the correct procedure for changing acc. assignment data?
– If, for example, you want to change the acc. assignment category: Note that you MUST first delete all existing acc. assignment data for the relevant item. You can do this by initializing (deleting) the acc. assignment category and confirming by choosing ENTER. Following this, you can enter the new acc. assignment category and the relevant acc. assignment data.
– If you want to change acc. assignment data for the relevant item: For example, you want to change the main acc. assignment objects such as cost center, G/L account, sales order, network, or WBS ele ment, and so on. Here also, we recommend deleting all existing acc. assignment data by initializing (deleting) the account assignme nt category and confirming by choosing ENTER.If you are working with contracts, you must delete the acc. assignment line on the acc. assignment screen and enter a new line t o ensure that the data is derived correctly again. You MUST NOT change the current settings. For example, in some circumstances, the requirements type (OVZH) or the valuation of the requirements class (OVZG) is changed after th e purchasing document is created. This can cause errors in a valuation of goods movements (goods receipt, for example) and MUST BE AVOIDED.

Creating Material Assignments and Component Allocations
After completing this lesson, you will be able to create material assignments .
Material Assignment
![You use the material assignment function to determine which material is to be produced with which routing. Therefore it is possible to connect several BOMs to one routing. You use the material assignment function to determine which material is to be produced with which routing. Therefore it is possible to connect several BOMs to one routing.](https://learning.sap.com/service/media/topic/cd55ae5b-326c-4d4e-a613-d08a4095480c/S42100_26_en-US_media/S42100_26_en-US_images/Multiple_Products_One_Routing_Image.png)
You use the material assignment function to determine which material is to be produced with a routing or rate routing. Based on this assignment, the routing can be used for sales and operations planning, material requirements planning, production order creation, and product costing for this material.
A material master record must exist in the system for the material to be produced. It requires a material type that is allowed for assignment to a routing or rate routing.
Material Assignment — Scenarios
Materials can be linked to routings for the following scenarios:
- You can use the same routing to produce several different materials. Each product has its own unique BOM but is manufactured by a common set of activities with the same standard times. For example, both red and green chairs can be produced using the same routing.
- The material and routing can belong to different plants. For example, the planning plant and production plant may not be the same.
Material assignment can be carried out in the following ways:
If you create a routing for a specific material, the system automatically performs the material assignment. No further settings are necessary, and for every order created the system identifies this routing assignment and uses the appropriate routing to create the order.
If you create a non-material-specific routing or a group routing, you can use the material assignment function. When you choose the Material Assignment button in the header of the routing, you can view a list of all the materials that are assigned to use this routing in order to produce them. Using this function allows you to assign more materials to the list. This also applies to using a routing created for one material to produce a different material. The assignment can be for a material in a different plant, which allows you to plan production in one plant and produce in another.
A production version specifies the production technique that can be used to produce a material. It specifies the BOM and routing used for production with date and lot size validities.
Component Allocation
Now let's have a look at the possible component allocation. Be aware of the following: you are able to predefine a routing and at a later stage you do the assignment of a material BOM.
The following data must exist in the system for component allocation:
- The operations in the routing
- The master record for the material to be produced
- The BOM for the material to be produced
Component Allocation and Material Assignment
You can assign and display material components for separate operations in the material component overview. For a clearer overview, you can use different criteria to filter or sort the material component list.
You perform the following actions for allocating components and assigning materials:
- Assign a new component.
- Delete and reassign material assignments.
- Navigate between multiple operations.
The system automatically assigns (default) material components in a BOM (that are not assigned to an operation in the routing) to the first operation when you create a production order.
You can assign each item on the BOM to only one operation. Items that have quantities of more than one and need to be assigned to more than one operation must be adjusted in the BOM to allow this type of allocation. For example, BOM item 10 has two pieces; one is used in operation 20 and the other in operation 40. This will require BOM item 10 to be split into two BOM items, each with a quantity of one, for example, item 10 and item 15. You can then allocate item 10 to operation 20 and item 15 to operation 40.
According to the item category of the assigned components, you can make further decisions about how they are to be processed, for example, backflushing of stock items or cutting the size of variable-size items.
By repeating this process, you can assign material components from several BOMs or alternative BOMs to the same routing. In this case, when you create a production order, you select the BOM and, therefore, the material components that need to be assigned in the production order. The system can do this automatically depending on the system settings.
Variable Size Item
![When you add variable size items to routing operations you are able to add a different cutting information. When you add variable size items to routing operations you are able to add a different cutting information.](https://learning.sap.com/service/media/topic/fc5e8861-e3ea-4941-b902-cc378b145b08/S42100_26_en-US_media/S42100_26_en-US_images/Variable_Size_Items_Image.png)
When you maintain the BOM, the final measurements are specified for the items of a variable size.
If you require a large cutting measure for producing this BOM item, you can specify this when you assign the operation. Only those items involved in material staging are assigned these measurements. Inventory management reads the measurements from the BOM.
