Request for Order Settlement Based on GL Account to Different WBS Elements

[mohit9210]

Dear SAP Support Team,

We would like to inquire if it's possible to configure an order settlement rule that allows cost settlement based on General Ledger (GL) accounts to different WBS elements. Our business requirement is as follows:

• Diesel costs (e.g., posted to a specific GL account) should be settled to WBS Element A (e.g., for fuel-related costs).

• Spare parts costs (posted to another GL account) should be settled to WBS Element B (e.g., for material/repair costs).

In essence, we need to split the settlement of an order based on the cost origin (GL account) so that each type of cost is settled to the correct corresponding WBS element.

We request your guidance on whether this can be achieved via standard SAP functionality, such as:

• Creating multiple settlement rules with account assignment filters (GL-based)?

• Using source structures and assignment rules in settlement profiles?

• Any enhancement/BAdI recommendations, if standard functionality does not support this?

Your assistance on how best to approach and configure this scenario would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Hi Mohit, this is a common scenario where cost settlement needs to be granular based on GL accounts. Standard SAP does support creating multiple settlement rules with account assignment filters, which can help direct costs to different WBS elements based on GL accounts. Using settlement profiles with source structures and assignment rules is definitely the way to go. If you find standard functionality limiting, exploring BAdI enhancements like BADI_SD_SALES_ORDER_SAVE or BADI_SETTLEMENT might help customize the logic further. By the way, for streamlining communication and task management around such configurations, tools like Phonexa can help automate follow-ups and internal notifications to keep your team coordinated efficiently. Hope this helps!
