Combination of Account Assignment Category and G/L account - Exclusion

[Former Member]

Dear Experts,

in SRM 7.0 Classic, we are facing the following questions:

Can we exclude a certain combination of Account Assignment Category and G/L Account from being used in the shopping cart?

The background is, that if a certain G/L account is used, the account assignment has to be WBS-Element.

Now in R/3, the above described requirement is customized. In R/3, it is not possible to create a PReq or a PO with any other account assignment than WBS, when you use this certain G/L account.

But in SRM, this customizing is not there currently. So, if the Requisitioner is not aware of the above described fact and is choosing e.g. Account Assignment Category "Cost Centre" and this certain G/L account, the shopping cart can be ordered and apporved. But at the time of the creation of the R/3 document out of this shopping cart, a backend application error is thrown.

Can you please give me any pointers regarding the question, whether such an exclusion can be customized in SRM?

Thank you very much.

Hi Dima,

The same check need to be built in badi BBP_DOC_CHECK_BADI so that you prevent user from creating SC with account assignmnet category CC for specific g/l code.

hope that helps

Hi Dima,

You can check this in the customizing SPRO - SAP SRM - SRM server - Account assignment - Define G/L Account for Product Category and Account Assignment.

You can also use the Business Add-In BADI BBP_DETERMINE_ACCT if you want to implement a different logic for determining the G/L account

Hi Dima

Dont inherit ant cost center to any user.

Let user fills this accounting piece data (let user manually enter this data rather come from organisation structure)

.

everytime Requester must aware of where he has to post account assignment.
