u can make only one GL account reflecting in PO for an account assignement category (eg:K)

in OBYC for GBB make the specific entries for VBR,

then when u use K in your PO u will get the GL account maintained for VBR

Hi,

Identify the Material group which you need this automatic cost centre assignment either in Material master or with out material master.

Assign the Valuation class to Material group which you need to consider the Cost elements which is assigned to Valuation class.

check this IMG settings to assign the Val class to Material group

SPROMMPurchasing--Material master - Entry Aids for Items Without a Material Master

Then in OBYC include these assigned Valuation class to Transaction key GBB as the consumption account

Create that G/L accounts as the Cost elements with the help of FI consultant.

Assign the Cost Centres to this Cost elements in OKB9 transaction,

So when ever you create the PR/PO & if the Material group is come into picture then system automatically assign that G/L account & Cost centre in the Account assignment tab.

The question is what kind of PO are you creating? Is it an account assigned PO? With What account assignment category?

Please go through the following notes:

105024 Automatic a/c assignment (OKB9) does not work

32654 High level automatic account assignment

684659 FAQs about account assignment objects as of Release

519463 FAQ: CO Account Assignment

You can define a cost centre for a cost element via KA03.

Else you can use OKB9 to assign a cost centre to a cost element at company code level (without a controlling area)
