Entering Account Assignment Objects

Use

This procedure describes how you assign one or more account assignment objects to an entry document (single or multiple account assignment). If you create an order using the purchase order or clear function on the basis of the entry document, the account assignment objects are subsequently passed on to the SAP Controlling component. This means that the waste disposal costs can be entered and distributed proportionally between the departments in the enterprise that generated the waste.

Prerequisites

You have executed the procedure Editing Entry Documents and are on the Disposal Processing Create or Disposal Processing Change screen.

Procedure

Select the entry document to which you want to assign account assignment objects and choose This graphic is explained in the accompanying text

Choose the Acct assgt tab page in the detail view.

Note

If you have assigned, in the master data, an account assignment object to the waste generator that you specified in the Generator field in the entry document (see Assigning Account Assignment Objects), this account assignment object is automatically used in disposal processing and displayed on the Acct assgt tab page. You cannot change the assignment of this account assignment object or carry out multiple account assignment. You can, however, additionally specify other account assignment objects. For example, you can specify an internal order for a cost center that was transferred from the master data.

If you have specified a company code in the master data for the waste generator, this company code is used automatically in disposal processing and is displayed on the Acct assgt tab page (see Editing Entry Documents). You cannot change the assignment of this company code.

In certain cases, the system proposes the account assignment category and the G/L account automatically (see Determination of the Account Assignment Category or Determination of the G/L Account for Disposal Operations).

Depending on whether you want to carry out single or multiple account assignment, proceed as follows:

If you want to carry out single account assignment, enter data as required and save your entries.
If you want to carry out multiple account assignment, choose Mult. acct assgmt, enter data as required, and save your entries.

Caution

When you assign the account assignment objects, note the following:

The account assignment category controls, among other things, whether or not the goods receipt indicator is set when the purchase order is created. This indicator cannot be set in the purchase order for the disposal, since a goods receipt is then expected. Therefore, enter an account assignment category that does not set this indicator.
If you assign several account assignment objects, the system does not check whether the combination of these account assignment objects is appropriate.
