Automatic Account Assignment 

Use

For account assignments to be performed, cost elements are required to which the postings can be made. This example uses cost element 282500 for revenues and cost element 232500 for costs. These cost elements have been combined into a cost element group (OAS_PRD) and are assigned to the corresponding PA transfer structure.

In this scenario, you make the necessary settings for activating direct account assignment.
