mukesh,

There is no such setup in sap b1 for service orders.

Hello Mukesh,

If you would like a Service Item to be linked to a G/L Account, a possible option is to define the 'Service Item' in the Item Master Data. Then, untick 'Stock Item' to do away with the quantity tracking.

To set up the G/L Accounts, set the G/L Accounts Determined by Item Level (Item Master Data -> Stock Data Tab). In the 'Expense' column, you can define the G/L Account that will be used for this service item.

The A/P Invoice will then be entered as an Item Type document. The entry will be:

Dr. Expense (from Item Level)

Cr. A/P Business Partner

I hope the above helps.

Hi

There is no provision in SAP B1 to define account for service. The reason might be because there are different services and so there may be a need to maintain G/Ls specifically for each service.

However, as a work around, You can define a Formatted Search Query that refreshes on the change of 'Item/Service Type' field available in Marketing Documents taking Vendor Code in consideration.

Mukesh,

I agree with Sridharan's answer. Most times when you want a particular G/L to be picked as default on a Service type document a FORMATTED SEARCH is a good option.

Let me know if need any help to move in this direction

Best wishes

Hi,

PO or SO will not generate Journal Entries.

When you post a PO with Service type, just open PO, enter BP,change type from Item to Service, enter required account and add it.

If I misundertood you, please elaborate issue in details.
