Account Assignment

[Former Member]

Hi,

how is the Account Assignment data determined generelly in SRM while a user is creating a shopping card.

Is the only one way due to ppoma_bbp ?

Is there a mechanism to check which Account data is permitted for a buyer ?

These are mostly common causes of errors while creating a shopping card. Which way is a quickly way to check validity.

Regards

3. are you telling that cost center expired and not validating while creating shopping cartd.

4. yes. ppoma_bbp inherit cost center. or REQUESTER can manually type cost center or search .

Here is how Account Assignment category works:

1. You create account assignment category in SRM and map it to ECC Account Asisgnment category with respective backend system logical system name.

2. You assign account assignment category, Cost Center , WbS elements in the User Attributes in org strucutre which gets copied to the SRM SC automatically....

3. You define a combination of Cost Center and dfeault G/L Account for Product Categories in SRM Configuration

While creating the Shopping cart, system picks up the relevant account assignment category in the Shopping cart from user attributes and so is Cost center or WBS(if maintained), then this information is picked up by the system and an RFC call is made to your backend system. This was done by a function module META_ACCSERV_CHECKACCASSIGNMT in older versions, I think there is a new FM in SRM 5.0 and SRM 7.0 for this purpose.....

Do write back if you have specific problem in this area
