Hi

Material can be purchased as direct and indirect materials. or i can say stock & Non-stock materials. When you purchase Direct material , which is used in production of certain product ,and inventory is maintained , account assignment will be maintained in SAP thr' automatic account determination and you don't need account assignment at the time of PO.Whenever there is a material movement FI posting happens accordingly.

But when you procure Indirect or Non-stock material you need to supply the account assignment category for which the cost of purchase will be incurred.

For example when you select , Acct assn. cat "k" ( Cost center) you have to supply the COST CENTER and the G/L account number. In this case when you receive the material it will get consumed.

SAP PO can have account assignment categories like

Asset - A

Cost center- K

Order - F

Project - P etc.

Hi

1.If u want to book your cost directly to project(project system) means then you have to use account assignment category as P.If you referred P means then system will ask you to enter WBS element of the project. if you filled all those things means then during MIGO the material cost will directly booked to project WBS Level.

2. If you want to book your material cost to project activity level means then you have to use account assignment category as N-Network. then system will ask you to enter network and activity number. These two account assignment category P and N is purely for integration with PS module. Apart from this some of the account assignment category is available for PS module.
