Cost assignment validation in OB28

[Former Member]

Hi,

We have a validation implemented in OB28 for a cost center and G/L account.

The validation gets triggered when the Goods recipt document is Posted/saved and we get the error message correctly.

But the same does not trigger when a 'Check' is done.

The problem we are facing is when the PO is created the system allows the user to create the PO even though the cost assignment is wrong. and when the user tries to post a GR it fails due to the validation.

Is there a way to trigger the validation in OB28 during the PO creation too?

Any input on this will will be appreciated.

U are using the FI validation (OB28). If you use CO validation (OKC7) the system will do the check earlier. So the validation will be done when you create the purchase order or purchase requisition. The FI validation only triggers when the FI document is posted.

Hi Srinivas and Robert,

Thanks for your inputs

You need a CO validation rather than FI. Create CO validation using T Code OKC7.
