Hi,

To summarise above is that

All one time purchase ie consumables item it is cost center which is accounting object is hitted and inturn gets GL. For this you need to maintain GLin PO.

Whereas in other cases as in configuration we develop relationship between MM-Fi and as a result we maintain Material Master and enter Valuation class which in turn contains account assignment based on COA assigned to it.

Hi,

While entering G/L account in PO an account assignment is must like Cost Center.

This assignment will help in Invoice Verification where the particular expense account will receive the respective account assignment. As Invoice verification is related to FI entry.

It will help in tracking of cost.

Plz assign points if it is helpful.

hi,

1) does it mean that if the gl account is entered in po,

during miro, the debit side of the gl account will automatically be shown?

2) why some of the po, acc assignment is not entered?

thanks

Hi,

For question 01)

If you mention G/L account in PO, you will get automatic debit of the same G/L account in MIRO because of integration. This G/L account is mentioned in those scenario where there is no material master data is mentioned and the items which are purchased once.

For example stationary.

For question 02)

If the material master is there in SAP, then we just mention the material no. in PO.

In this no acct. assignment is required. The system picks the G/L account for MIGO and MIRO through Valuation Class maitained in material master. Against the valuation class we do maintain the G/L account to be posted manually in TCode-OBYC.

Hope you have understood.

Pls assign points if it is helpful.
