SRM 7 ECS : Default cost center for PO from scratch

[former_member252154]

Hello,

We are implementing SRM 7 stack 09 with ECS.

Purchasers create PO from scratch. There is no default cost center in PO.

How can we automatically get the Purchaser's default cost center in PO?

Thanks in advance.

Hi

you can maintained the cost center info in the organizational structure... e.g. under the purchaser's position ('S') or department 'O' level.

Best regards.

Hi YS,

Even we are facing this issue. In the Org structure I am unable to assign the attribute CC. No search help appears.

Can you advice.

Regards,

Hi

Can you test if the ERP dialog user has the SAP_ALL authorization, do you still face the same error?

If not, that will mean is due to authorization error that prevent the accounting data to be displayed.

Also read OSS note 1502160 and associated notes and check if they are relevant for your system.

Best regards.

When creating a PO from scratch it seems the system does not check neither Creator's default CC in Org structure nor that of recipient.

I am asking if there is config to change that or if is a bug.

Hi,

For someone to create a PO as the 1st document, the creator must be a Purchaser. When the item is added into the PO, all the corresponding default attribute value for the Purchaser will be derived and display on screen and that includes account asisgnment information (e.g. cost center).

A purchaser in SRM can be handling different different company code purchasing (even from different logical system). As such, the default attributes derivation will be working downwards from logical system, company code and eventually to the cost center. Those default attribute values will also be shown on the screen.

If you see cost center not defaulting for the Purchaser on screen, there could be only 2 possibilities - incorrect configuration on your organizational structure or bug.

Hence once you are very certain that you have configured everything correctly, then please raise a OSS msg.

Best regards.
