how to maintain different account assignment group for a material

[Former Member]

One of our items in plant A was extended in B to use in an business scenario.

Since the item was extended using the copy function every change

made in A seems to affect our Item master in B . What governs this?

Since the item is manufactured in A the Acct. assignment Group in

Sales Org. 2 is set to 01 manufactured item, while for B it is a

purchased item and so 03.

Please let me know how to go a head with this.

Hi

As per standards and logics a material can be created only once in MM01

In MM01 we create a material say pen under some organizational data and that includes plant, storage location,sales org,DC,warehouse etc

If you are extending the same material to another plant the same can be done in MM01 with the new organizational data and after that if you hit enter you will get a message that the material is already created and extended to such and such data

In that exept the basic data 1 and 2 many or most of the fields can be changed

I have checked account assignment category in sales org data 2 can be changed

Say for plant 1000 for material pen assignment category can be 01 and

plant 1001 for the same material pen assignment category can be 02 like that

The extra keys for account assignment categories are defined in t code OVK5

img-sd-basic functions-account assignment and costing-revenue account determination---check master data relevant for account assignment

Relevant VKOA settings to be done

Then based on plant (in sales order) diffrerent GL accounts will be picked

So a same material with respect to the organizational data can have different account assignment categories

Hi

Go to OVK5 and create different account assignment groups for materials.

Then assign the account assignment group to material in MMR Sales Org 2

tab. Subsequently do the full settings in VKOA for account assignment.
