account assignment in schedule line category for third party sale

[Former Member]

in settings for schedule line category CS -for third party sales, in the field Account Assignment category we assign X-all auxiliary account assignment.

what is the purpose and reason for using account assignment category in third party and at what point of time this comes into picture in third party sales process

Just to add, during 3rd party sales - the procurement(or direct dispatch of goods from vendor) happens specific to a particular customer. In order to differentiate to whch GL the cost in this process is being booked you can select a cost centre. And auxillary accounts help to determine the same.

Hi Sudha A,

Procureement against customer requirement will be booked against cost or expense account. So when creating PO, this account assignment category is determination factor for respective G/L accounts in MM.

- Account assignment category will have general modification assigned. in MM account determinatoin OBYC settings-

Valuation group code(this needs to be confirmed) + General Modification + valuation class determines G/L account.

This is how G/L account will be displayed in PO - item level - account assignment tab.

To see the settings in account assignment category - check the help of the field & choose customization & observe in details.

Hope it clears,

Regards,
