Change of Account Assignment Category in PO

[Former Member]

Hi,

At the time of creation of Purchase requisition it is not clear whether my stock will come to inventory or it will be third party sale. It becomes clear at the time of PO only.

My problem is that if I create PR with AAC "Q" I am unable to change it to "p" or "N" as required for Third party sale.

Is there any possible solution for the same?

Hi,

Using AAC U is a workaround and I think I have to use that only.

Thanks for the help

If you are getting any error than paste the error with message no..

If the field is coming as display field than contact your MM consultant to make the field as input field via field selections.

Hello

If you are generating a PR manualy with P or Q, then you can change it to Q or P in the PO.But if the PR is generated from Project builder, then System would generate an error message stating that the initiator has maintained a different Acct.Assignment.So in this case you cannot change the Acct Assinment in PO.

Hi,

Please check with your MM consultant, for the possibility of converting this message into a warning or information message.

MM & FI have this functionality of converting the message type.Also there threads available for this in the forum.

Can we create a PR with U(unknown) as the account assignment and later give the exact account assignment at the time of PO?

Thanks and Regards

Have you checked this in your system?

Hi Ahmed

I checked this in my system.It works the way I have mentioned.But now I feel that the requirement is still not getting served-at the time of raising a PR I know that against which Project it is being raised.But with U account assignment I am not able to correlate the PR line item to my project.So its more of the case that I DONT know the reason of procurement I am going to do(direct consumption,P or taking to stock,Q).But I know the object against which I am procuring.

So the question still remains that can I change the account assignment category from P/Q to Q/P while graduating from PR to PO?

Thanks and Regards
