Cost Assignment tab in shopping cart disappears

[Former Member]

Hi,

Recently we did a service pack upgrade in our development system.

After the upgrade we are facing an issue in cost assignment tab of shopping cart.

Technical details:

SRM 4.0 with SRM Server 5.0

ECC 5.0

SAP_BASIS 6.4 (recently upgraded from Service Pack 14 to SP 20)

Issue Details:

While creating the shopping cart (classic scenario), in the cost assignment tab I am getting the list of cost centers and the G/L accounts by clicking on the F4 help “binocular” icon. After selecting the cost center and G/L account when I clicked on the “details” icon (magnifying lens) at the right extreme end to display the details of the cost center, I am getting only blank screen in that cost assignment tab.

The field cost center, G/L account gets disappeared and it is showing only blank screen. But still I am able to order the shopping cart and it gets converted to purchase requisition and I am able to see the values entered in the cost assignment tab in both the shopping cart and purchase requisition.

Note: This is happening only in Development system and in our production system no issues with the cost assignment tab. I have compared the configuration settings in Production and development system including RFS settings and it is fine.

Can you please let me know what could be the issue?

Thanks & Regards.

if try to create shopping cart for "direct material" by clicking the resp button in detail of SC then

SRM hides the cost assignment link

by any chance have you activated any BADI in this respect?

Hi All,

The problem was in a template and it has been rectified by applying the note 1091849.

Now we are able to see the cost assignement details in shopping cart.

Thanks and Regards.

Hi Arun,

Though we are with BBPSC01 screen, the note 1091849 solved our issue.

Hello All,

We have the same issue of cost assignment details not opening on our SRM 4.0 SP14.

This has started when we patched up the system for SP14.

We have checked for 1091849 corrections & are available in our system.

Can you give further inputs please?

Thanks

Hello,

o After you checked the document, the system should issue the

relevant error messages.

o If you have created user-defined account assignment fields in

accordance with Note 458591 (or with Note 672960 as of SRM Server

5.0), check whether the CI_BBP_ACC and CI_COBL structures were

created in the OLTP. In addition, check whether the

BBP_CUF_BADI/_2 BAdIs were created. Temporarily deactivate the

BAdI implementations and check them again.

o In SRM, distributed account assignment lines are only complete if

a percentage or a quantity was entered. Otherwise, the line is

incomplete and is deleted again after you navigate in the

browser.

o In the OLTP, multiple account assignment lines for the relevant

account assignment categories must be allowed in OME9. Exception:

For reservations, multiple account assignments are never allowed,

regardless of whether several lines have already been entered in

the generic account assignment screen in SRM. When you make the

entry, SRM has no information about follow-on documents that may

be created. Only the first account assignment line that is

determined for each item is transferred to the ERP.

I hope this information will help.

Kind regards,

Gaurav

We are not talking about Cost Distribution; we are talking about adding of multiple cost account assignments apart from cost object.
