Procurement of Consumable Material - 3
Account Assignments
Example: account assignment object cost center (account assignment category K)
When you make an assignment to a cost center, you must enter the G/L account number of the consumption account and the cost center for which the material is to be procured on the account assignment data screen. You can specify in Customizing that the system automatically suggests the number of the G/L account to be charged.
Example: account assignment object asset (account assignment category A)
If you use account assignment category A, you must enter the asset number on the account assignment data screen. The system automatically determines the G/L account to be charged from the asset number. You cannot enter it manually.
Note: It is possible to define further account assignment categories or change existing ones in Customizing. (Customizingï€ â†’ Materials Managementï€ â†’ Purchasingï€ â†’ Account Assignmentï€ â†’ Maintain Account Assignment Categories)

You can specify one or more account assignments for an item. If you specify a multiple account assignment, you must also specify how the PO quantity is to be distributed among the individual account assignment objects. Distribution can be on a quantity or percentage basis. If you enter a multiple account assignment for an item, the GR non-valuated indicator is automatically set for this item.
In addition, you must specify in the item how the costs are to be distributed if only part of the ordered quantity is initially delivered and invoiced.
- The partial invoice amount can be distributed among the account assignment items of a PO item proportionally (in accordance with the distribution ratio).
- The partial invoice amount can be distributed among the account assignment items of a PO item on a progressive fill-up basis (step-by-step, one after the other).
In this procedure, account assignment item 1 first receives its complete allocation, then account assignment item 2 and so on, until the invoice value is reached.
The partial invoice indicator can also be derived automatically from the account assignment category if a partial invoice indicator is specified in Customizing for the account assignment category.
You cannot usually tell from an invoice whether it relates to a purchase order with account assignment. You can only tell this from the item list in Logistics Invoice Verification (Account Assignment column). You can display the account assignment information and, under certain circumstances, change it. Special display variants are available for the item list when you enter an invoice for a purchase order with account assignment.
