Why account assignment is not deleted when push "Order as Direct Material"?

[alonso_valenzue]

Hi Gurus,

I have a problem with shopping carts (SC) of stock items:

1.- I add 5 items.

2.- I push "Order as Direct Material" button for 3 items only.

3.- I push "Hold" button to set SC with held status.

4.- I modify the SC and push "Order as Direct Material" button for 2 items missing.

5.- I order the SC.

One of the effects that it has the "Order as Direct Material" button is that it deletes the account assignment because the items will use to create a PO stock.

But for the last 2 items (number 4.-) the account assignment is not deleted.

This is causing that the PO's have error: "Invalid tax code".

Somebody can say to me why is not deleting the account assignment for items previously hold?

My systems are:

SRM 4.0 (SRM_SERVER 500) level 8

R/3 4.7 (SAP_APPL 470) level 24

> 5.- I order the SC.but this 2 nd item account data was not removed though you selected as ORDER as direct-
check item data what is stored here DP ? if account assignment not cleared it could be a bug. but you need to convince them to get a correction note.

Hi Muthu,

I confirmed that the account assignment is not removed for items previously hold.

In summary:

1.- I add 5 items.

2.- I push "Order as Direct Material" button for 1st, 2nd and 3rd item.

3.- I push "Hold" button to set SC with held status.

4.- I modify the SC and push "Order as Direct Material" button for 4th and 5th item.

5.- I order the SC.

I confirmed that the account assignment for 4th item and 5th item is not removed.

This is causing that the PO have error: "Invalid tax code".

I will send a message to SAP support explaining the problem.

Thanks.

check 4 and 5 th item

BBP_PDIGP

SUBTYPE = DP or spaces.

You are correct. it must be corrected. it is not happening in SRM 550 ..

once you click order as direct , cost folder must disappear.

Hi Jua

SAP says

After ordering the material as a direct material, youcannot change back to indirect; so, in case of a mistake, you have to delete this item.

Order as Direct Material replaces the goods recipient with the plant you

are ordering for and removes the Account Assignment information

Hi Muthu,

In my case, the SC first is hold (not ordered), then I enter to modify and push "Order as Direct Material" button for 2 missing items.

The 2 items that was not marked as "Direct Material" when the SC was hold.

Then when modify SC, the 2 items are marked as "Direct Material" and the SC is ordered. In this moment, for the 2 items are not removed the account assignment.

I think this is a bug, because only is presented with items that was not marked as "Direct Material" when the SC was hold (but not ordered yet).
