The account assignment category determines
- The nature of the account assignment (cost center, sales order, and so on)
- Which accounts are to be charged when the incoming invoice or goods receipt is posted
- Which account assignment data you must provide
- If you can post a GR
- If you can post an IR
If you cannot post a goods receipt, the R/3 System suggests the difference between the purchase order quantity and the invoiced quantity in Invoice Verification.
In Invoice Verification, the R/3 System suggests the account assignment defined in the purchase order. You can change the account assignment, provided that the following two conditions are fulfilled:
- Changing the account assignment is defined for the respective account assignment category in Customizing (T code: OME9)
- No valuated goods receipts are defined for the purchase order, i.e. there must be either a planned non-valuated goods receipt, or no expected goods receipt for the PO item
Account assignment categories:
- A for asset: must enter the asset numbers (main asset and sub-asset) (G/L account determined automatically by the system from the asset numbers)
- K for cost center: must enter the G/L account no of the consumption account and the cost center for which the material is procured
- P for project: must enter the G/L account no of the consumption account and the project for which the material is procured
- F for prod. order: must enter the G/L account no of the consumption account and the prod order for which the material is procured
- C for sales order
- E for individual customer requirement
- U for unknown
- X for auxiliary
- Etc…
New account assignment categories can be created or existing ones can be modified in OME9.
