Purchase requisition - G/L account (Urgent)

[Former Member]

Hi All,

At the moment when purchase requisitions are generated by the WBS element, in the Account assignment tab of the requisition, i see G/L account field being filled by a particular G/L account no. I would like to know where in customizing, is this set. The G/L account which it is referring to is wrong & hence would like to change the same. Hope my problem is clear, await inputs.

Dear Vivek,

Check the PR account assignment , then check to IMG:

MM-Purchasing-->Account assignment->Maintain account assignment category.

From the Acct.assgm.Cat you can see the account modification, then check to OBYC for the val class,valuation grouping,and acc.assgm.cat.

From that the system determine the G/L account.

Hi w1n

As per the first part of your inputs, i checked in customizing, the acct. assignment is Q (Proj. Make to order). But i was not able to understand the OBYC transaction part. Can you explain in brief, where i can make the changes in OBYC, i.e. enter the G/L account no. which i want to be associated with Q type of P-req's.

Dear Vivek,

First check the valuation group for your plant in OMWD.

For Q, supposed the acc.cat mod: is VBR.

Then in OBYC , go to "GBB" part and enter your Chart of account , ask your FI team if you;re not sure for this.

Then search for your combination of : Valuation modification --VBR -- val.class , there you can change or check the G/L account.

Hi w1n,

Thanks for those inputs. I can now see the G/L account. But would like to know, if i change the G/L acct no. in OBYC in GBB, would there be any other configuration settings i need to take care of? or changing the G/L acct. no. here would resolve my issue?

Hi Vivek

Don't change the G/L account assigned in OBYC.

The G/L account mentioned against VBR will be used for posting the off setting entry for goods issue to a Cost center etc.When you issue goods for cost center, the inventory posting (- reduction) happen.The off setting entry for this will be GBB-VBR-Valaution class-G/L account.

There is no relation between your requirement and this.For your requirement it is comming from the WBS element.In WBS element , some account assignemnt defined.Please check the WBS element level.

Dear Vivek,

If the PR is generate from PM/PS module , then you need to change it from WBS level like Rama said.Except you create it manual from ME51N.

Hi Ramakrishna,

I am sorry i did not inform, that this is coming from YBR & not VBR. The account assignement category is 'Q'. So if i change the G/L account no. for GBB-YBR in OBYC, the next requisition generated by the WBS element will have the new G/L account no. in the Purch. Requisition if am right. Please let me know if my understanding is correct.

Dear Vivek,

IF you create manual PR using ME51N and you enter material number then assign acc.assgnm=Q, the G/l account will be derived from inventory account.

in OBYC from BSX.

Hi w1n,

There is no manual PR generation using ME51N for WBS elements. The requirements are coming from the Network & PR's are generated during the MRP run. So if I make the changes in OBYC, will the next MRP run, generate Purch.

reqn for these WBS elements with the G/L acct no. which i enter in OBYC?

Dear vivek,

Actually you also can create a manual PR with assignmen to the WBS, but generally it generate from Network like you said.

The G/L account is derived from the Cost element field in the external activity tab in Project builder CJ20N.

Hi w1n,

Thanks for that info. But if the G/L acct. no. is picked up from CJ20N, i would like to know, then what is the relevance of maintaining the G/L account no. for YBR in OBYC?

Dear Vivek,

You should check to PM/PS team for detail, because this is in their function.

In OBYC (internal MM module), like you create a PR / PO that assigned to an account assingment K (consumption), and the acc modif is YBR , then for the comsumption account , it will get from OBYC-GBB.

But as i know it's different behaviour if the procurement is from PM/PS,the G/L account is derived automatically from the cost element.

Hi

Please use Tcode: CJ20N and select your WBS element under the Project and go to details.In details you can find the Account assignment details like cost center.From there system will derive the G/L account.
