Cost center and GL account restriction in Purchase order

[Former Member]

Hi Friends,

While creating a Purchase order we enter the GL account and the cost center. Normally we can change this cost center and we can choose any otherone. Here our requirement is, we want to restrict this GL account and cost center combination. For example one GL account should be allowed to take two cost centers A and B only not more than that. I hope in FICO module we can fulfil such requirements through validation rules and i am not able find any workaround in MM mdoule to figure out this issues. Could you please help me on this

Thanks for your help.

Hi

You can easily do this in a FI validation. Specify the transaction code and GL and check A or B, else Message.

Kind regards

Hi

Its possibel with the help of ABAP,U can put the validation accoring to ur requirement so that for that cost center only concerned G/L account can use.

If your G/L account & cost centre combination is predefined then check for badi ME_PROCESS_PO_CUST...here use table EKKN & field SAKTO,KOSTL for your requirement.

Hi,

Generally more then one G/L accounts allowed for single cost center & can be controlled by doing setting in OME9 for acct. assg. cat. K. But in your case ( if requires but i m not sure about your business process) a single G/L account should be allowed to take two cost centers A and B ,then try assigning G/L account for cost centers A and B with your company code in OKB9 t.code & save.But check with your FICO team & Finance Dept. regarding account posting after transactions.
