Hi

Combination item category K/account assignment category K not defined It is not there in the standards because the concept of Consignment procurement is never done against a Cost center. Simple reason K cost center procurement is done for Direct consumption and consignment is not company's stock it belongs to the consignment vendor and we pay him only when we start using the item by bringing the stock to own stock and issuing for consumption and not direct consumption against cost center via PO & GR.

For this you have to do Config addition in IMG-->mm>purchasing->Account Assignment--> Define Combination of Item Categories/Account Assignment Categories--> New entries enter Item category as K and account assignment category as K and save it.

Now If You try to create the PO you will get the follwoing Error as it is not allowed.

Item category K can only be used without account assignment

Message no. ME064

Diagnosis

The item category does not allow account assignment.

So it is not possible to have both K's at a time for PO creation.

Hi,

Generally while defining the defining the document type for purchase order, allowed item categories and account assignment categories will be defined.If you provide a item category for which the system is not assigned to that account asst category system will give this error.

Please check at spromm-purchase orderdocument types,For your documenyt type what are the allowable combination of acct asst and item categories.and provide accordingly.
