SRM PO Transfer error

[Former Member]

Hi

We are on SRM 7 Extended Classic Scenario

We have upgraded to ECC system from R/3 4.6. When we create a PO with account assignment as Leased item, the system does not transfer the PO to backed ECC and gives error " Account requires assignment to CO object"

We maintained entries for all G/L accounts in OKB9 but this was causing a problem for FICO people as all G/L accounts were picking one Cost Center as default from OKB9, which we did not want.

After removing those entries we again face this error.

In our non upgraded system this type of account assignment works fine. We have not maintained any entries in OKB9 for this account assignment.

Also the G/L account and account assignment category settings are maintained in SRM.

Has anyone seen this issue before?

Kindly share your thoughts.

Thanks & Regards,

Hi,

The error related to back end ECC only.

You may get the solution by posting a new thread in FI or CO forum.

Hi Ram,

The note says to maintain entries in OKB9. We used that but then while Invoice postings the default account assignment was picked as COst Center from OKB9 and there was a different acc ass in Invoice. So we had to remove entries from OKB9.

Is there any alternative to OKB9?

Hi,

Can you check whether you have maintained G/L & CC account properly?

Path: Supplier Relationship Management->SRM Server->Cross-Application Basic Settings->Account Assignment->Define G/L Account for Product Category and Account Assignment Category.

Check whether erroneous Product Category is assigned to the precise G/L Account as well account assignment category CC.

Hi Vinay,

I have checked these settings. The G/L account and Product category I am using is maintained for the account assignment category correctly.

It all has happened after the upgrade to ECC.

Are some additional settings required in ECC for this to work.

We don't want to maintain default G/L CC combinations in OKB9.

Iti
