For such a requirement you should consider using the material planning field in the assignment tab on the network activity - please search forum for more help on the material planning field and how to activate it is this is not currently showing in your set up

HI Virendar,

With the material planning field we can plan the cost of the material.But here my requirement is assign materials with unknown item category , at the time of PO i can change as per the purchasing.

Item category available is either N or L. I don't think there is any U available.

If you are referring account assignment in PR. for project it should Q, P or N. U is not for project.

What is the purpose of assigning / planning materials in your project during the initial stage?, is it for cost planning? if it is only for cost planning then follow what Virendra has recommended.
