Where do we maintain the G/L account for internal goods/service?

[vipra]

I need to maintain a set of G/L accounts for internal goods/services in a classic scenario, I see there is a SPRO link

SPRO -> SRM Server -> Cross-Application Basic Settings -> Account Assignment - > Define G/L Account for Product Category and Account Assignment Category.

None of the categories present there indicate Internal Goods/Services, If i maintain the Account assignment here, how will that be read during creation of SC for Internal Goods/Services?

Hi,

Please confirm you are going to create shopping cart for direct material, if I am right then the GL account is not necessary and also account assignment tap will be also disappeared.

You are not require to do this configuration for direct material procurement.

Hi Naga,

We are not going to procure direct material through Internal Goods/Services, there is no Stock for these materials.

Can you please advice if it is possible to use Internal Goods/services for non-stock Material? Also the Product Ids are not defined, only Product Categories exist in the system.

Hi,

You can certainly use Internal Goods/services for non-stock Material.

As you say Product ID is not defined; can you tell how have you got material(product) in SRM from ECC?

As well if Prodcut is not present in the system & you want to create/order one, you should order by Free Text.

Yes we just have the product categories from the backend (replicated to SRM) and use items from Supplier catalog to add to the SC.

Most items are from Catalogs rest is Free Text or Internal Order.

Hi,

Then you should get materails from ECC to then. So that you can use materials in Internal Goods & Services.

Materials are also not maintained in the Backend, This is the case.

As per my understanding we need to maintain table entries in COMM_PRODUCT table for products to be available in search in Internal Goods/Service by Product ID.

Another point I would like to clarify is the follow-on docs for this SC would always be a reservation or can we have a PO created directly in the backend same as the normal SC. (Classic Scenario)

According to my understanding a reservation is created based on the availability of the material but since this is a non-stock item then what would happen?

Hi,

About COMM_PRODCUT table understanding is correct.

There will not be any issue for PO.

Hi,

Path:

SPRO -> SRM Server -> Cross-Application Basic Settings -> Account Assignment - > Define G/L Account for Product Category and Account Assignment Category.

is used to create to assign G/L accounts to Product Category & Account Assignment Category as it's name suggest.

Don't worry about SC you gonna create from Internal Goods & Services. G/L account will be defaulted according to your setting for Product Category in 'Define G/L Account for Product Category and Account Assignment Category'.

P.S. Internal Goods/Services link is way to create SC(requisition) like freetext & catalogs not a Product Category or Account Assignment.
