Account assignment P AND N

Account Assignment Category - P - Project : It is used when you want to purchase the material/service on WBS level . When GR/Service Entry performed, actual cost hit to the WBS. ( Consumption is done - No Project stock In case of material)

Account Assignment Category - N - Network It is used when you want to purchase the material/service on Network level or Network Activity level. When GR/Service Entry performed, actual cost hit to the Network or Network activity level.( Consumption is done )

The best way is to check it from customizing in the IMG: Material Management > Purchasing > Account Assignment > Maintain Account Assignment categories.

In the standard system I believe they are WBS and NWA respectively, so that you would use in PS module, but it can always be changed in any system, so better not to rely on descriptions.

Hi,

When you create any purchasing Request/Order, to which object i.e WBS or NWA should this order needs to get assigned is decided by default from the configuration said above my Paulo.

Based on Account assigned category WBS in case of "P" or to NWA in cased of "N", user will be able to assign those object to PR/PO.

Once assignment is made, user (as well as within system) will be able to see commitment cost (once PR/PO are created) and cost actuals (Once Service entry sheet or GRN are made for PO) getting posted against WBS/NWA.

Hope this helps you.
