Purchase order creation

[Former Member]

Hi all!

I created a material thru mm01. Now, I want to create a purchase order for this material thru me21n. I got the error message "account assignment is mandatory". If I pick a value under a/c assignment, it'll again ask me to assign gl a/c. I know, a/c assignment field is not mandatory field to create PO. Also I checked the field status under vendor master. It is not mandatory. Does anybody have solution. I'll appreciate for the answer.

Hi,

The Accounting view for the material needs to be maintained.

OBYC settings also needs to be completed before creation of PO.

In OBYC, I assigned the material under valuation group 7920 and 3000 for inventory and raw material. I haven't gotten any thing wrong while creating my material under material master. Here, my material is 1491. I'm still getting the error "Account Assignment is mandatory for the material 1491" while creating PO.

Watiting for the solution, thanks!

Hi

Yoy may check your OBYC settings. The GL account is picked up based on the Valuation Class of the material maintaied in the accounting view of the Material.

Goto OBYC --> BSX

Assign the GL account of relevant Inventory Account corresponding to the Valuation Class.

Account Assignment is based on the material. Check the Material Master. Check the item category of the material.
