PO

Dear ALL,

While creating a PO with account assignment K, an error is coming I have already given an cost center but sitll it is asking for G/L. Is it true that we have to create a G/L with every item category ?

Hi Rita

Offcourse System will ask for the G/L account for account assigned PO. though you have entered Cost center, but u have to specify G/L account also.why system is asking because you must have not maintained automatic account assignment for cost center K in SPRO.

Go to SPRO--MM-PurchasingAccount assignment--maintain account assignment categories.

there duble click on K and check acct modification VBR is maintained.

if maintained then go to OBYC check for GBB key , then look for combination of valuation class of your material and VBR...you should have a gL account against it.then only system will pick it up automatically.

Hi,

I will support Raghu's Reply, or istead of setting it permanently(KA01), you can also give it manually during PO creation.

Hi Sachin/Raghu

Sorry but i disagree with your solutions though it can solve the problem. but this is relevant for one cost center. suppose next time user has to use some other cost center, then how many times he will default G/L account to cost center.

Best way is using automatic account assignment using account modifer VBR as exlpained above. and that is infact the satndard and best way to acheive this.

Hi,

Can I support Yogesh here.

The main problem with suggesting KA01as a solution is that it bears no connection with the problem. Yes, you could specify a default cost centre for a GL (Cost element) but that is NOT what was required.

The question indicated that the cost centre was KNOWN and entered and it was the GL that was not entered. KA01 would be able to default the cost centre for a GL but NOT a GL for the cost centre (there is NO LINK in SAP from the cost centre to a GL and so it cannot be automatically suggested on the basis of the cost centre that has been used).

So Yogesh's solution is the one to choose, set up the auto account determination for the relevant account modifier for GBB and the system wil fill in the GL code automatically.

Failing this the user should manually enter it, that is what happens in hundreds of other implementations.

Hi Rita,

U mean to u have to put only cost center at PO ,G/L account will automatically

pick up .

This is possible,

Go for Auotomatic account Determination and Maintain the G/L account for Transaction Key GBB and ->Valuation Modifier VBR ->Valuation Class (assigned to Master )-. Desired G/L Account.

Rewards if helpful

hi Rita,

you have to assign the G/L A/c through the A/C Modification in the Account Assignment Category settings in SPRO. System will pick this up while making the PO.
