Account assignment in SAP Purchasing (MM) – FAQ

This note provides answers to frequently asked questions regarding account assignment in purchasing documents. This post is based on Snote 496082.

Table of Contents

FAQ: Account Assignement in SAP Purchasing

Account assignement : g/l account for a sales order.

Question: Why is the G/L account for a sales order with nonvaluated individual sales order stock different from the account with valuated indivi dual sales order stock?

Answer: See Note 458270.

Multiple Account Assignment in Purchasing

Question: Can you create several assets at the same time in the new purchasing transactions?

Answer: You can create several assets at the same time. However, you must first ensure that at least as many account assignment lines have bee n created as the number of assets that you want to create. You can do this very easily using the copy function.

G/L Account is not saved if switch to a material group

Question: You create a purchase order with account assignment using transaction ME22. You enter a material group, from which a G/L account is de termined using the valuation class. If you then switch to a material group that does not determine a G/L account via the valuation class, the system deletes the previous G/L account and prompts you to enter a G/L account. If you cancel the account assignment screen and change the material group back on the item detail screen, the previously determined G/L account is not determined again. Why is this ?

Answer: Unfortunately, this system behavior cannot be changed. First, enter any G/L account, so that the item is valid. If you then switch to the old material group again, the system also determines the correct G/L account again.

Entering the same account assignments for different items

Question: Is there an easy way of entering the same account assignments for different items in the new EnjoySAP transactions?

Answer: Ensure that Note 315676 has been implemented in your system and follow the procedure described there

Repeat account assignment function not work in the new EnjoySAP

Question: Why does the repeat acc. assignment function not work in the new EnjoySAP transactions when you create new account assignments in multiple acc. assign. ?

Solution: Use the copy function in multiple acc. assignment to create identical account assignment lines. You can use the repeat account assi gnment function to create similar account assignments for different items with the same account assignment category. To do this, proce ed as described in the answer to question 4.

Issue message KI 161 “Cost center &/& does n ot exist on &

Question: When you change the account assignment of an existing purchase order, why does the system issue message KI 161 “Cost center &/& does n ot exist on &” ? The same phenomenon occurs for other account assignment objects (for example, profit center).

Solution: Refer to Note 193371.

Can you create assets from the single account assignment screen?

Solution: Assets can only be created from the multiple account assignment screen (“Account assignment” tab). You can switch between single account assignment and multiple account assignment on the “Account assignment” tab page by clicking the icon above on the left.

Why does the system not display an account assignment tab page even though you have entered an account assignment category?

Solution: After you have implemented Note 520149, the account assignment tab is not displayed until all the required information is available, for example, the company code.

Why are account assignment objects derived in some situations, even though the relevant field on the account assignment tab page is hidden?

Solution: Refer to Note 619203.

ME 453 “Changing consump. or spec. stock indicator not allowed

You create a purchase order with reference to a subcontracting purchase requisition. This purchase requisition was created with an unknown account assignment, that is, account assignment category “U”. When you change the account assignment category in the purchase order, the system issues error message ME 453 “Changing consump. or spec. stock indicator not allowed (subcontracting)”.

Solution: See Note 205597

Select a valuated goods receipt together with multiple account assignment

Why can you not select a valuated goods receipt together with multiple account assignment in a purchase order or purchase requisition?

Solution: See Note 204252.

EBAN-FISTL, -GEBER, -KBLNR, -GRANT and -FKBER (as in table EKPO) empty

Funds Management is active. Why are the fields EBAN-FISTL, -GEBER, -KBLNR, -GRANT and -FKBER (as in table EKPO) empty? Solution: These fields are only filled if the account assignment category is set to “blank”. If you maintain an account assignment category in t he purchasing document, the system adds the information from these fields to the EBKN table (as in EKKN).

AA 334 “You cannot post to this asset (Asset & & blocked for acquisitions)

You try to change a purchase order item with acc. assignment category “A”, which contains a locked asset. The system issues error message AA 334 “You cannot post to this asset (Asset & & blocked for acquisitions)”. Solution: This is the standard system design. To make changes to this purchase order item, you have the following two options:

a) If you no longer require the purchase order item with the blocked asset, delete the purchase order item. b) Otherwise, you must activate the asset, make the required changes to the purchase order item, and then block the asset again.

The indicator for the account assignment screen

Question: What is the meaning of the indicator for the account assign. screen that you can set in Customizing for single account assignment/m ultiple account assignment? Solution: The indicator determines which account assignment screen is used by default for maintaining the account assign. for a purchase orde r item. For the EnjoySAP transactions, this value is simply a proposal that you can change in the purchasing document. For the old transactions, this value is the only one that you can use.

Question: Is there an unknown account assign. for standard purchase orders?

Solution: This is generally not allowed, and the system issues message ME 069 “Unknown account assignment not defined for use here”. There is an exception in the case of service items that are created with item category D (service) or B (limit).

Acc. Assignment check is not performed when Purchase Order is updated

Question: You change data in a purchase order item (for example, purchase order value, delivery date, and so on). Why does the system not perform another acc. assignment check?

Solution: This is the standard system design. When you created the purchase order item, if the system already checked the acc. assignment and there were no errors, another acc.?assignment check only takes place if you change a field that is relevant to account assign.?(for example, quantity, material number, and so on). If this system response does not meet your requirements, implement the account assignment check in the BAdI ME_PROCESS_PO_CUST. The BA dI is called each time the purchase order is changed.

“In case of account assignment, please enter acc. assignment data for item”

Question: If you delete all the account assign?lines that were entered in the account assignment screen, the system exits the account assign. tab page and goes to the material data. In addition, the system issues the error message “In case of account assignment, please enter acc. assignment data for item”.

Answer: In the current system design, if you delete all the account assignment lines, the system assumes that you do not want to maintain any account assignment data. This conflicts with the account assignment category and the system issues error message 06 436. You can then remove the account assignment indicator. Procedure: If you want to delete all the account assignment data that was entered, see the answer to question 24.

Third-party order processing (CS) and individual purchase order processing (CB)

Question: Which account assignment categories should you enter in schedule line categories for third-party order processing (CS) and individual purchase order processing (CB)? Solution: See Note 210997.

G/L Account is not transfered from Valuation class

Question: In a blanket purchase order or blanket purchase requisition with account assignment, you subsequently change the material group. Even though the new material group is assigned to another G/L account via the valuation class, the system does not redetermine the account assignment for the relevant item. The old G/L account remains.

Solution: See Note 449216.

Customizing Account assignment fields as required entry, optional entry, or display fields

Question: In Customizing, you can set the, or as completely hidden fields, depending on the account assignment category. These settings also determine whether the system deletes or retains the values for the account assignment fields when you change the account assignment category in a purchase order item.

Answer: In Customizing for materials management (MM), when you maintain account assignment categories (IMG: Materials Management-> Purchasing -> Account Assignment-> Maintain Account Assignment Categories), you can control the different account assignment fields as follows: Required entry: You must make an entry in the field, otherwise the system issues error message ME 083.

• Optional entry: Entry in this field is optional.
• Display: The field is displayed, but it is not ready for input.
• Hidden: The field is hidden. Example:

The acc. assignment category is K, the cost center is an optional entry field and it is filled with the value 1000. You change the acc. assignment category to P. Subject to the field settings for the cost center for the acc. assignment category P, the system response is as follows: The cost center is a required entry or an optional entry field: The system transfers the value 1000 for the cos t center.The cost center is a display field: First, the value 1000 for the cost center is deleted. If the system can determine a value again after you enter the changed acc. assignment category, this value is transferred. The cost center is a hidden field: The system deletes the value 1000 for the cost center.

System ignores the acc. assignment data of the purchase requisition for the second schedule line.

Question: You create a purchase order item assigned to an account with reference to a purchase requisition. For this purchase order item, you create a second schedule line with reference to another purchase requisition. The system ignores the acc. assignment data of the purchase requisition for the second schedule line. Solution: This is the standard system design. The system does not generate multiple acc. assignment in the purchase order item, even if the t wo referenced purchase requisitions are assigned to different CO objects. Refer to Note 47150 for the old transactions and to Notes 422609 and 771045 for the EnjoySAP transactions.

Undelete an item in a purchase requisition if assignment data is no longer valid

Question: Why can you undelete an item in a purchase requisition if the corresponding acc. assignment data is no longer valid? Solution: When you undelete an item in a purchase requisition, the system does not perform a new acc. assignment check. Therefore, the accoun t assignment data is not checked again. Nevertheless, errors occur if you try to create a purchase order with reference to this purchase requisition. When you undelete an item in a purchase order, however, the system does perform another acc. assignment check.

Transfer of Acc. Assign. with Reference Document

Question: You create a purchasing document with reference to a reference document. What account assig. data is transferred? Solution: The acc. assignment data is derived from the reference document. If you delete the acc.?assignment category and enter it again, a new automatic general ledger account determination takes place.

Question What is the correct procedure for changing acc. assignment data?

– If, for example, you want to change the acc. assignment category: Note that you MUST first delete all existing acc. assignment data for the relevant item. You can do this by initializing (deleting) the acc. assignment category and confirming by choosing ENTER. Following this, you can enter the new acc. assignment category and the relevant acc. assignment data.

– If you want to change acc. assignment data for the relevant item: For example, you want to change the main acc. assignment objects such as cost center, G/L account, sales order, network, or WBS ele ment, and so on. Here also, we recommend deleting all existing acc. assignment data by initializing (deleting) the account assignme nt category and confirming by choosing ENTER.If you are working with contracts, you must delete the acc. assignment line on the acc. assignment screen and enter a new line t o ensure that the data is derived correctly again. You MUST NOT change the current settings. For example, in some circumstances, the requirements type (OVZH) or the valuation of the requirements class (OVZG) is changed after th e purchasing document is created. This can cause errors in a valuation of goods movements (goods receipt, for example) and MUST BE AVOIDED.

Mets DFA Jorge López after post-ejection glove toss, saying he went 'over line'

• ESPN News Services

NEW YORK -- Jorge Lopez was designated for assignment by the struggling New York Mets one day after the reliever threw his glove into the stands following his ejection , a move made to send a message to the rest of the team that petulant behavior will not be tolerated.

"We have standards here," Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said before Thursday's series opener against Arizona. "When you're not playing well, guys will show emotions. There's frustrations, but there's a fine line and yesterday went over that line."

Mendoza would not specify whether the decision was made over López's behavior or the behavior coupled with the pitcher's postgame interview.

"I don't regret it," López said when asked about throwing his glove over the netting into the crowd as he walked off the field. "I think I've been looking [like] the worst teammate probably in the whole f---ing MLB."

It was a comment he addressed further the next day, posting on his Instagram story that he indeed called himself the "worst teammate" and saying earlier stories from some outlets that initially misquoted him as saying he was on the "worst team" made the situation "worse."

López later expounded on those comments in a full statement on his Instagram account in which he apologized to his "teammates, coaches, fans and front office."

"I feel that I let them down yesterday, both on and off the field," López said. "I also want to clarify my post-game remarks, because I had no intention of disparaging the New York Mets organization. During that interview, I spoke candidly about my frustrations with my personal performance and how I felt it made me 'the worst teammate in the entire league.'

"Unfortunately, my efforts to address the media in English created some confusion and generated headlines that do not reflect what I was trying to express. I wish the team the best and hope that God continues to give me strength and guidance in my personal and professional life."

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Jorge Lopez (@yabiie48)

Mets first baseman Pete Alonso said López's postgame remark "got misconstrued."

"I feel for him and I hope he's doing OK mentally because I know he's gotten a lot of scrutiny for what people thought he said," Alonso explained.

Mendoza said the team's decision was not made because of on-field performance. The 31-year-old López was 1-2 with a 3.76 ERA and two saves in 28 appearances -- among the most in the major leagues.

"He was always available," the manager said. "This was more like we have standards here and yesterday was one of those where we felt like we needed to do something."

New York began Thursday 22-33 despite baseball's highest payroll, and Mendoza said the decision was made to send a message to players.

"I'm talking about standards, right," he said. "There's going to be times where you're going to see frustration for players, but there's a fine line and ... behaviors like that we're not going tolerate."

New York has seven days to trade or release López, or to assign him outright to the minors if he goes unclaimed. He signed a $2 million, one-year contract with New York in December.

His roster spot was filled by left-hander Danny Young, who was recalled from Triple-A Syracuse. Mendoza said when informed of the decision, López "was respectful, but he didn't say much."

An All-Star in 2022, López spent time on the 15-day injured list with Minnesota last summer to address mental health after acting out frustration during mound struggles .

"I'm not going to get into his personal life, his personal situation," Mendoza said.

López gave up a two-run homer to Shohei Ohtani late in a 10-3 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers on Wednesday. Moments later, the right-hander was ejected for shouting at third base umpire Ramon De Jesus over an appeal ruling on Freddie Freeman's checked swing.

"It's just emotions. The game, it just takes you there," López said.

López pointed at De Jesus and yelled some more, then dropped the ball and walked off the mound with his jersey untucked. As he approached the Mets' dugout, he tossed his glove high over the protective netting and it landed a couple of rows deep in the stands, where it was snagged by a fan.

"I didn't think that I would ever see that in a baseball game," Alonso said. "It's unfortunate what happened."

After López's cap fell off his head as well, López left it laying in the dirt in front of the dugout and headed for the bench.

"I'm the way I am," he said. "I'm not afraid to be me."

Mets players held a team meeting after Wednesday's defeat, their 15th in 19 games.

"I like it because it's important for them to let it all out. And yesterday thought with them calling that meeting, it was needed for all of us," Mendoza said.

New York entered with 19 wins in its last 23 games against the Diamondbacks. Arizona manager Torey Lovullo thought back to May 7, 2021, when Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor and second baseman Jeff McNeil appeared to scrap in a dugout tunnel after combining to misplay a grounder. One claimed the disagreement stemmed from seeing a rat, the other a racoon. The Mets rallied for a 5-4 win.

"This team is dangerous and they're full of talent and experience," Lovullo said. "We're not going to take anything for granted. I remember being on this field, and I thought I saw the shortstop and the second baseman basically getting into a fight in the dugout, and they ended up beating us pretty bad that day."

Reds Prospect Noelvi Marte Set to Begin Rehab Assignment With Suspension Coming to an End

James rapien | jun 3, 2024.

• Cincinnati Reds

CINCINNATI — Reds star prospect Noelvi Marte is scheduled to return to game action next week. Marte will begin his minor league rehab assignment on June 11, Reds manager David Bell announced on Monday.

That timeline assumes that there won't be any rainouts. Marte was suspended for 80 games for PED use prior to the season. His suspension is scheduled to end on June 27.

Marte posted a .316 batting average, hit three home runs and 15 RBI in 114 at-bats after joining the Reds for the final 35 of last season.

He was one of the favorites for National League Rookie of the Year prior to his suspension.

If there are no rainouts, Noelvi Marte’s Minor League rehab assignment is slated to begin June 11, most likely at Louisville. David Bell said Marte would get time at mostly at 3B and some at SS and 2B. Marte’s 80-game suspension due to end on June 27. — Mark Sheldon (@m_sheldon) June 3, 2024
