Account Assignment Category

[Former Member]

Hello everyone,

We are trying to do a Purchase Order to an Order (Account assignment category: ‘F’). But this account category does the consumption posting ‘V’ directly from the goods receipt (GR), but we effectively want to assign the stock to this order but without consumption. I do know that we must create a new Account category, but I’m having some difficulties when doing the consumption posting ‘blank’.

First, can I define a new Consumption posting that I could define that consumption via Order. Can we use the consumption posting in blank?

Do we need a Special Stock indicator too??? If so, where can I define it?

Can we treat the CO order as a production order or a sales order? In this case, which is the special stock indicator?

We do want to see in our stock the materials linked to our order (with no consumption) after the GR.

Thank you very much!

Best regards,

Pedro Grabulho.

Hi Pedro,

Your concept of using Account Assignment category seems to be wrong.

<u><b>One uses "Account Assignment Category" for a "Stock Material" only if the procurement is for "Consumption".</b></u>

So whether the Account Assignment Category is Cost Center/Project/Order etc. or even if you create NEW Account Assignment Category, <u><b>the goods will always get posted for "Consumption"</b></u>

<u><b>In case you don't want Consumption Posting for a stock material then don't use any Account Assignment Category</b></u>

If you still have questions please elaborate.

thanks & regards

Hi Yogi,

I do agree with you conceptually, but in fact we can increase stock that will be consumed later with a procurement with account assignment. I did that to project stock combining the consumption registry 'P - via Project' with a special stock indicator 'Q', but I can not do similar to the CO order. Do you know another way? I thought that I could a Goods receipt in two steps for a purchasing with account assignment... 1st) we block in GR the material - that increases stock assigned to a Order, but do no consumption. 2nd) we do the consumption directly from the blocked stock.

Do you think that this can provide what we want?

Thanks in advance!

Regards,

Pedro.
