GR created with zero dollar value due to split distribution on accnt assign

[Former Member]

Hello,

I am currently facing an issue where two "Funds" are being used on a purchase order where GR's need to be generated. When the GR is created against a line item with a split distribution the GR is being created for the correct quantity however the dollar value is showing as ZERO. This is causing issues within the GR/IR account because the expense is not being accounted for and when the invoice is posted there is now a one sided entry within that account. How to I fix the GR to account for the split distribution when it is being posted so that the dollar value is accounted for?

Thanks,

Katie

Will open an OSS Message with SAP to find out why the system is set up the way it is. Thank you everyone for your comments!

Hello,

Does anyone have any information on how to get the GR to show the correct dollar value when there is a split distribution on the account assignment?

Hello Lee,

Could you check in backend ECC ME23N for the PO in delivery tab whether the GR Non Valuated indicator is flagged. I believe GR Non valuated indicator will be flagged when we use multiple account assignment.

Meaning of GR Non Valuated:

Goods Receipt, Non-Valuated

Specifies that the goods receipt for this item is not to be valuated.

Use

Set the indicator if goods receipts involving this material are not to be valuated. The valuation of the purchase order item will then take place at the time of invoice verification.

This indicator must be set in the case of multiple account assignment for example.

Note

If the indicator has been set for an item with the material type non- valuated, the quantity recorded in Inventory Management can differ from the value in Financial Accounting during the period between goods receipt and invoice receipt, since the value is not updated until the invoice is posted in Financial Accounting

Hi Venkat,

I took a look at some of the purchase orders that have this issue and I see that the GR Non-Valuated flag is checked. I'm confused as to why this would need to be checked when there are multiple account assignments. Can you give me any additional information on why this must be checked?

Thanks,

Hi Katie,

Venkat has provided the SAP help fully on non-valuated concept.

Since you asked to explain in detail I am giving below :

During creation of GR for a PO line item with multiple accoutn assignment, system is not in a position to identify the cost element or account postings properly. Hence, SAP has by default the GR Non-valuated check button is enabled for those items.

For example : PO quantity 10 (out of 10, 4 for one cost centre and remaining 6 for another cost centre). But if you are receiving 10 at a time or partially from the supplier, how does the system determine or propotionately put the inventroy cost since there is no

selection for Cost centres (editable mode) during GR.

I hope the above information is helpful to you to understand better.

Thanks
