Goods Issue - Others (Account Assignment)

[Former Member]

Hello All,

We have a situation wherein the user is able to issue goods using tcode MIGO by choosing Goods issue --> Others and mentioning an order number that belongs to another plant in the account assignment tab and issues a material which belongs another plant.

For eg we have material A that has been created for plant 1. The user issues the material (movement type 261)and the account is assigned to an order which has been created for plant 2.

I could not find any authorization object that restricts this.

I checked the objects M_MSEG_BWA and M_MSEG_WWA and he has authorizations only for plant 1 and all movement types.

We have tried various combinations for authorizations and have concluded that this restriction is not possible via authorizations.

I believe functionally it should not be possible for anyone to book costs against another plant.

Any pointers to restrict this access will be appreciated.

Thanks & Regards,

We have checked with the standard SAP delivered authorization objects but there does not seem to be any object that restricts the posting against an order created for another plant. You can check this by creating a simple PM order with one operation and trying issuing a material that belongs to another plant with this order. The system should restrict such a posting and should not rely on authorizations to control such a posting.

If you have any concrete solution to control the above please let us know.

Hi

If both the plants belong to the same compnay code then the sytame may not stop such postings as the accounting documents are based on the Compnay code.

If both the Plants belong to different compnay codes then cross scompnay postings happen whcih can be controlled using Configuration & validations.

Please get in touch with your FI consultant for details on inter company config

Thanks & regards
