Cost center & Internal Order on Follow-On Document

[Former Member]

Hello All,

We are using SRM 7.0.

We have created a shopping cart with account assignment as Internal Order & GL Account. Then it creates Purchase Req at backend system with account assignment category F.

Under account assignment tab at item details level of PR, it picked cost center & Internal Order both but in the shopping cart we have maintained only internal order.

As per standard SAP, PR data should be identical to Shopping cart data. So I guess, it may be a system issue. Do we have any SAP note for this.

Please let me know your thought.

I have raised a message to SAP and waiting for their response.

In the mean time, could you please help me regarding below concern.

In case of SRM 4,  we are able to see both option, cost center & order.

But in SRM 7.0, we have only cost center or only order.

What may be the reason behind this and how can we display both the option in SRM 7 ? If anyone ever notice/face this issue before, please update me also the resolution that need to be done.

Warm Regards,

Hello all,

Did you find the solution for this issue?

I have the same problem and we couldn't reproduce the error.

Some shopping carts are created with internal order but also has an unknown cost center. Then the PO's are being created with error because it has two different accounting assignments.

Thanks and Regards,

Flavio Fonseca.

Hi Rudresh,

It is possible. Please check the standard PR BAPI / User Exists coding in the backend system.

Try to debug with the help of ABAP person, where exactly it is passing the costcentre.

It may be Z table maintained for cost centres for the responsible person.

If you debug, it will be faster to know from where this data is being fetched.

Also check in SRM - BBP_PD tcode, whether any cost center field is fetching any data.

Also Check your Internal Order - KO03 in the backend system, whether is having any Requesting Cost center field filled. If yes, then again check your BBP_PD and PR whether it is the same Cost center.

If it is same, then the coding is written like that to fetch even for cost center in the background.

Thanks.

Thanks Snehal for your response on this issue.

I have checked BBP_PD tcode and cost center is getting picked up  but it differs from the cost center maintained for internal order at KO03.

I would also like to notify you that there are few shopping carts created successfully by the same user with same data.

Hello Rudresh,

Can you please check the is there any changes related to Cost Centre for this Internal Order recent past in R/3.

No change happened for this internal order.

As per my investigation, it seems that cost center is getting picked up from OKB9 T-Code as per company code, GL Acc & Valuation area.

I have found below note related to this

Note 668746 - COIN: Switching off OKB9 in EBP scenario

But it says that the backend system reads the default  account assignment (Transaction OKB9) as usual if EBP does not provide any account assignment but in our case, we are providing IO at EBP.

Another concern is, system is not behaving same for all the shopping carts
