Use

The costs incurred by one or more users are invoiced to an account. An account can be set up for an individual user or a work group. An example of an account is a cost center.

Procedure
  1. Choose Administration → System Administration → User Maintenance → Users.
  2. Specify a user name, then choose Create or Change.
  3. Choose the Logon data tab and specify the account in the field Accounting number.

    For example, the account can be a cost center. The account is stored in table USR02, field ACCNT.

    Note

    Normally the current user master record is used to assign users to accounts. You can set other assignments using a function module parameter.

    Users who do not have an account defined in their own or the specified user master record are assigned to the account "Noaccount". Users not assigned to the specified user master record are assigned to the user account "Unknownuser".

    Predefined system users, such as sapsys, sap* or sapr3, who are not assigned to the specified user master record, are assigned to an account with the same name. For example, user sapsys is assigned to the "account" sapsys.
