Hi there,
I have a question relating MM-order processing.
This means both order-request (?) BANF and order BEST.
The value to change is the "Kontierungstyp"
(The 'F' (internal order), 'A' (asset), 'U' (unknown), 'C' (costcenter)...
selection stuff at position-level)
In client 000 you cannot change the "Kontierungstyp"
neither in BANF nor in BEST of a position once you have
entered and F3-backed the position. The only way I can
think of currently to "change" is to "delete-reinsert".
Is there a way to "change" the "Kontierungstyp" of a given position?
Is there a way to "copy" the Position and give the copy a different
"Kontierungstyp" ? (that is so I don't have to enter all the
values again).. I just want to change the values in the "Kontierungs"-Popup.
Why does SAP make it so difficult to change the Kontierungstyp
while the order is still a BANF?
I could understand, if it were only impossible to change it as a BEST.
We want to "send" the costs to CO-objects on one hand (costcenter or
internal order) and to an asset on the opther hand.
I know that you can use "KOntierungstyp" X so change rather freely
between "adressing" a costcenter and an internal order, but we were
as of now unable to "add" the asset-number-fieldgroup to the "X"-type.
A problem in this issue poses the "Sachkonto"(=GL-account-No) which seems
incompatible with the ANLA-field.
The scenario we are thinking of is as follows:
Someone in disposition wants to place an order-request (BANF) for a
project. He has a "project-number" which is an internal order.
He gives the IO-number as "Kontierung" in his BANF. (Kontierungstyp = 'f'
or 'X' or 'U' ??? )
During the BANF-release-phase someone in the AM-department determines
whether the purchased object will be fully activatable or will remain
a "cost" factor (determine asset or expense). He will change the
"Kontierung" to the appropriate value:
a) let the "Kontierung" remain IO-Number if it is expense
The person might even determine the correct expense-GL-account-No
already. (Disponent might be wrong!)
b) change the "Kontierung" to something poiting to the correct asset
AuC (=AiB) or normal asset. He might have to create an
asset-account for that. The AM-person would be the right
person to do that anyway.
The disponent placing the order in the first place does not have the
required knowledge to determine the asset-or-expense-question.
When the BANF is converted to a BEST the usual MM;-stuff takles place.
Then the invoice arrives.
The invoice-check-people would just have to check for an appropriate
arrival of the goods if applicable , enter the corect amount and book (F11).
Voila .. only expenses remain on the Internal order which can be resolved
as usual -- no line-item-settlement needed.
Some final questions:
Is it correct that you can "never" change the Kontierungstyp unless you have
an "U"-type?
Is it correct that you can give the final "Kontierungstyp" for an "U"-BANF-
position only when converting it into an order (=BEST)? Or can this be
done earlier? (I tried to do this in BANF-phase in client 000, but failed)
When using the 'U'-type how can you give any additional information? The
disponent might not know wether capital-or-expense (so use 'U') but he
sure knows his cost-center-number which might be needed once somebody
else determines it will go to expense. Where can he put this information?
TIA any comments appreciated...
