Default Account Assignment - for Profit Center

[mnagtegaal]

Dear community,

I've got the following issue. For small price differences in supplier invoices, we use GL account 52060000 - Loss Sml Prc Diff IR. In the configuration SSCUI 102639 we configured the standard cost centers for this GL account (since it needs a CO object for journal postings). If I enter a general cost center in the config (so not for eact profit center), the system works correctly and the price difference will be posted.

However, the requirement of the customer is to have a different cost center for each Profit center, therefore I used account assignment detail 3 - Profit Center is mandatory. Afterwards I configured a cost center for each profit center in the 'Detail per Profit Center' tab. You would expect that by entering a supplier with a price difference, the system will post the difference to the cost center that is confugured for the profit Center. However I get the error message:

Account 52060000 requires an assignment to a CO object

Diagnosis

You have not defined a CO account assignment for an account that is relevant to cost accounting.

Where the config says:

If you want to differentiate the account assignment determination by profit centers, in the column "Mandatory fields for det. account assignments", enter a 3 (profit centers are mandatory).

a) Choose "Detail by profit center".

b) For each profit center, enter the corresponding cost accounting object (cost center, order) to complete the line item.

Is this a bug of the system, or did I forget something? Any help would be very helpful.

Thanks,

Miischa

Hi Mischa,

Thanks for your updates.

I'm not sure, but seems the profit center was brought by the cost center, not vise versa.

So the cost center is the precondition.

Hi Miischa,

The prerequisite is the previous functions need to bring the profit center information into the configuration module.

If this is not the case system can't find the profit center information, so the derivation is not possible.

So I suggest you check the successfully created journal entry when "Detail by profit center" is not choosed, and see whether profit center information is there in the journal entry items.

Best Regards,

Hi Owen,

Thank you for your response. I already tried your option. I posted the supplier invoice to cost center 101012, which is assigned to Profit Center P101012. I do see this profit center in the journal entry on the GR/IR GL Account.

Afterwards I configured a specific cost center for Profit Center P101012. But if I delete the 'dummy cost center' 999999 and put the config to 3, I get the error message as described earlier.

So as far as I can see, all the configuration is in place, but does not work as expected.

PS. I'm not allowed to add screenshots...
