ME21N : account assignment mandatory for bulk material

[Former Member]

Dear guru.

For a raw material used as bulk in production with material type ROH and quantity/value updating I need that when I create purchase order the system send an error message that account assignment is mandatory.

I know that for an NLAG or UNBW material type the system send this message.

For internal reason I need to maintain material type ROH with quantity/value updating , do you know a solution , any exit , in order to solve my problem ?

Thanks for you help.

Hi,

In the user Exit 'MM06E005' component 'EXIT_SAPMM06E_012' Include 'ZXM06U43' you can write a code for checking the material type of that material. If it is ROH than make the Account assignment field as mandatory.

I hope it will give you a good solution to your problem. For this you need an ABAP development.

You absolutely can not both expense an item and yet keep it as part of your balance sheet. This isn't in the gift of MM. What is the purpose of the account assignment ?

Talk to your FICO colleagues, they may have a method/fudge to achieve what you want. Otherwise consider a copy of ROH that is quantity updating only.

Dear

I need that this component in the bill of material must be managed with position type L and I donu2019t want to do consumption movements.

I have verified that I can create a purchase order with account assignment for this material , I need only that the system send a message for these bulk materials.

Thanks.

Hi,

What do you mean by position type as L. Are you referring to item category in this case which should be L i.e subcontracting. This can be achieve by using special procurement key in MRP 2 view for a material.

position type L means it is a inventory managed material.

why do want the material to be inventory managed and at the same time dont want to record consumption movements?

[JL23]

with a few exceptions you cannot manage a material with quantity and value and at the same time have an account assignment.

Can you describe your special case?
