Define cost object during Valuated GR with multiple acc. assignment

[ali_dai]

Dear all,

I have a client request (definitely not covered with standard SAP) to be able to define the cost object during valuated GR's for partial deliveries.

The case is the following. PO with multiple account assignment were Cost is distributed among various CC's or WBS's. The client wants during GR to define for which cost center/ WBS he is receiving the goods and not the system to split them according to proportion based on the account assignment of the PO.

For ex. PO for 10EA split to 7EA in CC X and 3EA in CC Y. During partial GR of 2EA system posts accounting document in both cost centers splitting by 70% of the cost on CC X and 30% on Y.

Can you please think of a way the user to define for which CC he is performing the GR (exits, custom tab etc).

Best Regards

Hi Jurgen, thank you for your answer.

I agree that it is not part of the receipt to determine it, but as in some companies the receiver is able to define it, it is an issue for them. We have to go with different line items, but missing a valuable part of the process the multiple account assignment.

Thank you anyway.

If you have such cases then you better create individual PO items with a single account assignment.

In many companies receipts are either done by warehouse people or even by the porter, they would in no case really be able to determine the right reference if it is not explicitly written on the accompanying paper works.
