Standard SAP – Default Account Assignment (OKB9)

The standard SAP offers to specify a default account assignment (Cost Center/Internal Order)

Per company code

Per Business area

Per Profit Center

Per Valuation area

In cases, where a default account assignment is to be specified below the company code, then “Account Assignment Detail” field in OKB9 is used to specify a default CO object per Business area or Profit center or Valuation area

Challenges Faced with the Standard Option

In cases where the SAP enterprise structure is designed in way that there are multiple profit centers pertaining to one plant, the standard default account assignment may not cater to the business needs.

For eg: If the user wants to specify a default cost center as follows, it is not possible with in the standard design

Business Area Profit Center Default Cost Center

1000 1010 10001010

2000 2010 20002010

Alternate Solution

In such cases, a slight customization in the FI substitution (RGGBS000) can get you the desired result.

This alternate solution depends upon a Z table similar to that of OKB9 and a couple of lines code in RGGBS000 outlined as below

The Z table used in the process:

*---------------------------------------------------------------------*

* Start of Insertion (RGGBS000)

* This works like OKB9 based on GSBER & PRCTR

*---------------------------------------------------------------------*

Data: wa_ZOKB9 type ZOKB9.

If COBL-BUKRS = 'XXXX'.

If COBL-KOSTL IS INITIAL.

Select Single * from ZOKB9 into wa_ZOKB9

Where BUKRS = COBL-BUKRS and KSTAR = COBL-HKONT AND GSBER = COBL-GSBER AND

PRCTR = COBL-PRCTR.

If sy-subrc = 0.

COBL-KOSTL = wa_ZOKB9-KOSTL.

ENDIF.

ENDIF.

ENDIF.

*---------------------------------------------------------------------*

* End of Insertion

* This works like OKB9 based on GSBER & PRCTR
