Order Reason - Cost Center

[Former Member]

We use orders reasons for one of our order types to direct financial postings to the cost center. Now we need to direct the financial postings by a combination of customer group/order reason. Does anyone know of a way to do this without creating a unique order reason for each customer group?

Thank you for such a quick response.

My Z order type is ZIN and we have a list of order types that are assigned only to this order type. They do post to the cost center as specified in IMG > Sales and Distribution > Basic Functions > Account Assignment/Costing > Assign Cost Centers. This posting is not different by the Customer Group assignment on the order.

My incompletion log requires that both Customer Group and Order Reason be populated.

Based on this, you say that what I want to do is possible, but can you please tell me how/where?

This order type has no revenue postings, only Cost of Good Sold and Freight Accrual. This order type accommodates a budget line item that allows the various departments in our company to give away product with no charges to the recepient, usually in an effort to generate sales. However, when we give the product to a charitable organization, my Finance Department does not want the Goods Issue Document to post to the "Product Cost" GL account. They want it to post to a separate "Charitable Donations" GL account that can be used for tax deduction purposes.

Hi Crow

First of all as you have done for one Z order type to do direct financial postings to the cost center. So make sure that postings doesn't happen with the combination of customer group / order reason. Then it is possible.

For this document type check in incompletion log also wheather customer group / order reason separately has been maintained or not

But can we know why you want to post to cost center with the combination of customer group / order reason.?
