Hi,

Can you find both the entries for ZEKKN= 1 and ZEKKN = 2 for the service PO item in the table EKKN.

If yes, check what are the differences in both entries. We are assuming there is no manual interventions on this.

Thanks,

Hi,

Yes for one service PO it is 1 and the other service PO it is 2 in EKKN table for ZEKKN entry  , only difference is the Vendor in these PO's

[JL23]

There are some OSS notes which fixed bugs with wrong number assignment, eventually your finding is an old record which was created before the fix was applied.

Had you already checked the change history?

May the first entry was deleted and reentered.

[former_member307443]

Exactly in one of the PO in the change history the account assignment has been entered then deleted  and again entered i could not know what this signifies. But for this PO the ZKKEN value is still 2

[JL23]

1 was deleted, then new entered is 2.

just changing something in an existing account assignment item would keep ZEKKN = 1

[former_member307443]

So now if i change what value in the PO would my ZEKKN come back to 1. in the first case was it a bug which took the value 2 .

[former_member197074]

Hopefully this shouldn't happen for any new service PO. Only because the entries were deleted EKKN-ZEKKN is having entriy for 2 and not 1.

Ideally you can identify from this there is manual interventions.

Thanks,

Try it, I think there is no way back to 1

Why do you need that?

Hi,

It isn't possible to create a scenario as well in testing client  where the ZEKKN has a value as 2 , There is a new Service PO in production  where there have been no changes done and it is a Single account assignment the value of ZEKKN is 2 in ekkn table , how is this possible is the Question.

[JL23]

it needed 16 replies until you came up with the real issue.

But still we do not know how this behaves on your screen, do you get any error message (if yes then please post error message and its number)

[former_member307443]

There is no error message at all. I create a Service PR and then through which a Service PO in ME21n then do ML81n and Miro . after which i check in EKKN table the value of ZEKKN is 1 only.. when does this take 2 in case of multiple account assignments is what it says but in the issue it has only single account assignment. i have created similar scenario but no success

Hi,

Is your new service PO copied from any existing purchasing document having ZEKKN as 2.

As you have mentioned it is not happening for all POs, it must be something to do with PO creation activity.

Thanks,

Hi,

NO it has not been copied from any reference.

[JL23]

I am sorry but now you are back to your initial question why it is 1 or 2, right before you said you have issue in testing a scenario. I want to know where exactly you have issues in going further? Any standard report that does not run, not able to enter service entry, not able to post MIRO?

Or is it just a z-report that was poorly designed and is not able to work if ZEKKN is 2 ?

Hi Praveen,

Is this specific to this service PO or you are seeing it for all POs. This is an internal counter field that gets updated for every account assignments in a PO.

If possible i would like to see the screenshots so that we, SCN users can help you out in a better way

Thanks,

Hi,

yes it is specific to few orders, sorry cannot share screen shot as it is not allowed in our project. IN another service PO the Sequential Number of account assignment is 1 only , not able to figure our why it is 2 in this case , I compared both the PO's but hard luck did not find any much difference. 

[former_member197074]

Hi,

The link also says about the situations where ZEKKN equates to 2. Have you checked them also?

Looks like you might have multiple accounting objects.

Thanks,

Dipankar

[former_member307443]

Hi,

I have see that as well , but in my case it is single Account assignment only no distribution.

Hello,

According to the the Link provided , for single account assigment the ZEKKN value must be 1 but in my issue the value is 2, that is teh reason i have doubt as when it takes 2 and when 1. This is a service PO with single Service.Please help.
