Allocation of CE to Value Categories

[Former Member]

Hello,

I wanted to know, whether we assign primary CE or secondary CE to Value Categories? As per my understanding its secondary.

I have query around my above assumption. I am creating a Purchase Order and and using an Account Assignment category as "P" i.e. Account Assignment is WBS. I am using a free text material and hence I need to assign a G/L to it.My question is how do this hit the Material Value category in Projects i.e. where the Cost Element is picked up by the system to report the material costs against proper value category. PO is not having any refernce to secondary CE in above case.

Awaiting replies.

Thanks

You can assign any cost element to the value category - primary/secondary. You will need to maintain the G/L account as a primary cost element before you'll be able to use it in a value category. When the commitment is raised or actuals posted, the G/L/cost element on the PO is used to post it. When the report is pulled by value category, the cost gets pulled also.
