Selection of the G/L Account in the transaction QA12 when posting scrap

[Former Member]

Hello everybody,

On the transaction QA12 (change Usage Decision), it is possible to post quantities to scrap. On the material document generated, the field G/Laccount is populated. How the system determine the G/Laccount for this process. Other question: is it possible to add the choice of the G/L account in the QA12 transaction for this type of posting like the transaction MB1A (mvt 553) ?

Thank you very much for your replies.

Regards,

Christophe.

Dear Check transaction OMWW-Account determination and OBYC in MM for key GBB_VNG for required GL account settings with your MM consultant.You can add your choice of GL account in FI/MM settings.

As per my understanding its the FICO setting to assign the G/L account to a cost center.

What it means is you can assign the Cost center in the Plant level setting in QCC0 "Cost center for destroy".This cost Center determine the G/L account depending upon the plant & mvt type

You can not dynamically assign the G/L account during the Inspection,as said earlier its FICO customization.Also add into that every time you scrap the material in QI ( 553) it goes to same account only.

Thank you very much for this helpful information.

So my requirement is to give to the user the possibility to select a G/L account or a WBS element when a scrap post occur in QA12. It seem to be not possible with a standard solution so i would like to see what is possible with a specific solution (BADI / exit).

Any ideas ?

Thank you very much fo you help.

Dear Christophe

I have really not came across the Badi & user Exit for scenario you said.

Actually as I told you G/L accout is very much depend upon the type of material,mvt type etc,so its very difficult to dynamically change/select the same.As mvt & material type is same how come G/L account is selected differently?

I am sure that only way remains is take UD & change the G/L account by either material to material transfer or issue to a cost center with required G/L account

Your FICO person can help you

Thanks for your help, but unfortunately i have not got a FICO person to ask for. I just need some details for the solution you gave. I will just take an example to illustrate:

There are 4 materials in quality stock. A first D.U is taken to keep the material in quality stock. After analysis 2 materials need to be issued to scrap. The user have got 4 G/L account to deal the scrap post. Like you said it is not possible to choose a G/L account in QA12 because the system determines one with data like movement, valorisation type, etc.. So what the user do today is to move 2 materials in free stock wth QA12 then use immediately the MB1A with the movement '551' with the adding of the right WBS element.

Is it more or less the solution you propose ?

If not could you detail the transactions code an movement type to apply your solution ?

Thank you very much.

Best regards,

First of all you are really close to solution.What can be done is if you want to scrap the material you can create a Quarentine storage location in the plant & shift this material to that storage location( make sure that you exclude this storage location from MRP run.) from here you can scrap the material.for shifting the materila to this storage location you can dynamically select the storage location during stock posting( observe that storage location field is editable & can be changed during the stock posting)

from here you can monitor & post material to appropriate the G/L account .........

T codes Remains same MB1A>551>select cost center.-->post

If I remember correctly, the cost center is defined in the plant level QM settings I think. (no system to check on today).
