Product Category and GL account mapping

[Former Member]

Hi

We are using SRM 4.0 with ECS scenario.

Would like to know, whether the Product Category and GL account mapping we do in SPRO is restricts the user to use the same GL account mapped against the product category or it is just a defalut and can it be changed while making PO or SC.

Thanks

Hello Shekhar,

Product Category and GL account mapping done in SPRO defaults the GL account in shopping cart. It can be changed while making SC.

Hi

If you want to restrict the users maintaining the GL Account, this can be done by amending the following includes within function group BBP_PDH_ACC.

LBBP_PDH_ACCF06

LBBP_PDH_ACCF0Q

Hi

<u><b>This is standard SAP functionality.</b></u>

<u>The same GL account mapped against the product category, is just a default and it can be changed while making PO or SC. This is not hardcode as such. We emphasize here that we should follow the same GL account and Material Group combination as determined in R/3, the same combination GL and Product caategory needs to be made in SRM as well. (Since finally the PO will get created in r/3, where all the same validation will take place, at the creation of PO from SRM).</u>

<b><u> The table which holds the data for

"Define G/L Account for Prod Cat and A/C Assignment Cat" is BBP_DET_ACCOUNT and it holds data in similar manner.</u></b>

1. Either using the SPRO path

SPRO-> Account Assignment -> Define G/L Account for Prod Cat and A/C Assignment Categories 

2. Or using SM30 transaction for the table - BBP_DET_ACCOUNT table

3. Use BADI - BP_DETERMINE_ACCT -> To change GL accordingly as per your logic.

The SRM G/L account is working on a linkage between product category and account category (cost center, project, asset...) that give you the default G/L account. If this very simple equation does not fit your requirement, you can use badi BBP_DETERMINE_ACCT to implement your own equation.

<b>Hope this will definitely help. Do let me know.</b>
