Stock Material Account Assigment Validation

[Former Member]

Hello everybody,

Do you know if there is any IMG activity where i can set that for certain type of material (like Stock material) the System makes a validation of "K" account assignment (Cost Center).

My requirement is to not allow make a K assignment for stock material type.

Is this possible? or i will have to use a BADI or User Exit for this purpose?

Thank you all in advance.

Best Regards,

You have 2 options:

1) Use the user exit for PO Release (EXIT_SAPLEBND_002)

2) Use separate document types - NB for stock purchases, ZB for account assigned purchases. In NB, modify the field setting to make account assignment category as display only. In ZB, modify the material number field as display only. This will ensure that a person cannot create a account assigned PO for a stock material.
