Hello

Specifying Multiple Account Assignment

This procedure allows you to apportion the costs associated with a PO item (among several cost centers, for example).

With multiple account assignment, the account assignment data entered takes the form of individual account assignment items.

Prerequisites

When specifying multiple account assignment for an item, you must consider the following points:

How is the net value of a PO item to be distributed (apportioned) among the individual account assignment items?

The costs can be allocated on a quantity or percentage basis (for example, 10 pieces or 10% of the order value to cost center 100).

How are the costs to be apportioned if only a part of the ordered quantity has been delivered and invoiced?

The partial invoice amount can be distributed proportionally, i.e. evenly, among the account assignment items of a purchase order.

The partial invoice amount can be distributed on a "progressive fill-up" basis, i.e. the invoiced amount is allocated to the individual account assignment items one after the other. Only when account assignment item 1 has been charged in full is item 2 charged; only when account assignment item 2 has been charged is item 3 charged, and so on. This process continues until the total invoice value of the PO item is reached.

Procedure

When entering an item, specify the account assignment category for the desired item on the item overview screen.

Choose Item ® Account assignments.

The account assignment window appears.

Enter the account assignment data for the first account assignment item.

Choose Change display to call up the multiple account assignment screen.

In the item fields (upper part of this screen) enter the relevant data:

u2013 Select the GR non-val. field to designate the GR for this item as non-valuated (as the item has been ordered for direct consumption).

u2013 In the Distribution field, specify whether the costs are to be apportioned on a quantity basis or by percentage.

u2013 In the Partial invoice field, specify whether the value of a partial invoice is to be allocated to individual account assignment items successively, whereby one is debited in full before a posting is made to another one (in which case, some account assignment items may not be debited at all as a result of a particular invoice), or whether the value of such a partial invoice is to be distributed among all account assignment items in equal portions.

For each account assignment item, enter either the quantity or the percentage of the total value to be charged to the relevant account assignment item.

To enter further items with the same account assignment data, choose Edit ® Repeat account assignment ® Switch on. The account assignment data will then be automatically adopted in the next item.

Repeat as necessary for other items.

Save the purchase order.

A vendor submits an invoice for 60% of the total order value. The cost of the ordered goods is to be divided equally among cost centers 1 - 5 (that is, 20% of the total cost is to be borne by each).

If you specified for the PO item that the value of a partial invoice is to be debited to the individual account assignment items on a "progressive fill-up" basis, cost centers 1 to 3 will each be debited with their full 20% share of the total cost on the basis of this partial invoice, whereas cost centers 4 and 5 will not be charged at all. (The latter two cost centers will not be debited until the remaining amount is invoiced.)

Hi

During PR/PO creation, we can select the multiple a/c assignment

During GR creation also, we can distribute the assignment.

While generating the invoice using MIRO, we need to select the Display Variant as for cost center or asset and then select the multiple account assignment and proceed.

Thanks

Hi

While creating PO if you want to assign the cost of the material/service in PO to more than one department (cost center) then you have to use multiple account assignment. For example in a company Stationary procured is being used by finance department F, Procurement depertment P and Marketting department M. and total cost of the PO is 1000 USD then you can distribute these 1000 USD to these three cost centeres F, P and M. there are three ways of distribution:

You can distribute costs by across accounts by percentage, by quantity, or by value.

Cost distribution by quantity : Service items are converted to percentages.

Cost distribution by value : Material and service items are converted to percentages.
