Account assignment catagory and default settings

[Former Member]

I am at a client where they require following:

When creating PO and/ PR for capital assets they would like the system to require mandatory field for- Internal order and G/L account. Also the consumption posting must go to Asset.

How do I configure this for Purchase Req and Purchase Order?

I have not found an account assignment catagory that meets all the requirements - which one ( F or P or A or S) would be best to copy and make changes? Or is there another way of doing this?

Help please- thanks

Hello Raj,

EVO parameter is used for defaul values for buyer. The IMG help explains in very good way. SPRO--> Material Management --> Purchasing --> Environment data -> Define Default Values for Buyers.

Here you define values for parameter and assign it to user profile.

PR mandatory field setting depends on the screen setting at doc level. Make the Purchase requistion field as required in "Reference data, item" section in SPRO--> Material Management --> Purchasing --> Purchase order -->

Define Screen Layout at Document Level.

Hope this helps.

Hello Rajendra,

You make settings for account assignment category in OME9 transaction code.

Make the fields (i.e. Asset no and G/L account) number as required here.

For asset you need to use account assignment category A, I think Internal order means Purchase requision, if so you can always use EVO parameter or you can make purchase requisition field mandatory in purchase order.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

I think the internal orders that Rajenda was referring to are the CO type internal orders that are basically cost collectors, rather than requisitions.

Account assignment category F makes the GL and internal order fields mandatory, would this not suit your requirement?

If this is correct then the EVO parameter does not affect this but it is a very useful parameter and can make the reference to a requisition mandatory (by indicating that POs can only be created with reference to requisitions and then allocating the EVO parameter to the appropriate users).

Hi,

I just re-read your question and can see that F is not the right option, I would use A (asset) and use the configuration of the account assignment category to make the internal order (CO/PP order) and GL fields mandatory.
