In Simple Words, Account Assignment Category Determines How the Procured Material is Being Used (For Eg : For a cost Center, Profit Center, Etc). It also Describes What GL accounts are Changed When Goods Movements

Account assignment caregory is used at the time of creation

of a purchase order.For normal PO no AAC is required. if

the posting is directly to a costcenter(K) or Asset(A) we

need this AAC.You can see this at ME21n under item overview

Hi

1) While Creating PO Account assignment category is not defaulted for Capital goods.

In the PO if you enter the Account assignment category as "A"-Asset or "K" --Cost centre then Account assignment tab will come in the PO to enter the Accounts & cost centre for that.

As Capital goods are posted to seperate Asset accounts that why we need to create Capital goods PO as account assigned PO with "A" as account category category.

2) It is not necessary that Business area mandatory in Account assignment tab it will default based on the Enterprise structure assignement to your Business area to your company code.

If you have not assigned then system will ask you to enter in Account assignment.

Hi,

A key indicating whether an item is to be assigned to an auxiliary account (such as a cost center).

The account assignment category determines which account assignment datails are required for the item (for example, cost center or account number).

SPRO - MM - Purchasing - Account Assignment - Maintain AAC

Hi,

Definition: Account Assignment Category: - A key indicating whether an item is to be assigned to an auxiliary account (such as a cost center).

The account assignment category determines which account assignment details are required for the item (for example, cost center or account number).

Generally used Account Assignment Categories are Cost Center (K) in case of Miscellaneous Purchases, Assets (A) in Capital Goods Purchases, etc...

You can configure Account Assignment Category in Transaction OME9 OR you can go with following path;

SPRO > MM > Purchasing > Account Assignment > Maintain Account Assignment Categories

Her you have to perform following Activities;

1. Check the attributes of the account assignment categories

2. Maintain the account assignment categories to suit your requirements
