Using Substitution (GGB1) to change Cost Center assigned in (OKB9)

[Former Member]

Dear all,

SAP Platform: ECC6

I've configured both VKOA (GL assignment) and OKB9 (auto acct assignment) for sales billing. In OKB9, I've mapped one cost center to one GL, i.e. GL-123456 = Cost-center-A.

Alright, now that I've a specific condition that requires to change the cost center at ad-hoc basis, i.e. for material # 2345678 only, I need to assign to GL-123456 but Cost-center-B instead. So, I attempt to use the substitution rule - GGB1 to replace the cost center based on material #. I did the configuration under Cost Accounting | Line Item by creating a new substitution and defaulted the constant to Cost-center-B when material # = 2345678.

So, I ran the billing in VF01 but the Cost-center-A was pickup instead of Cost-center-B. It appears that the substitution hasn't been triggered. Did I miss a step?

Thanks.

Hi,

Have you tried after removing the cost center assignment in OKB9?

Thanks,

Found the solution: Need to activate the rule in okc9. Anyway, thanks for helping.

Cheers.

Can you trace the substitution?

Yes, I did before I posted this thread. I set a break point within OKB9. Nothing gets triggered. Thanks.
