Applies to:
All releases of SAP for Financial postings made from a various applications like SAP-Logistics, SAPFinancials, etc for more information, visit the Enterprise Resource planning homepage

Summary
Automatic assignment occurs during postings in external accounting (with in the FI,
MM, or SD components) if you did not enter a CO account assignment object (cost
center, order, or project) for a cost accounting relevant posting. This is always the
case if the R/3 System automatically created the posting row in question.
This paper highlights an alternative approach where standard default account
assignment (OKB9) based on Valuation area or Profit Center is not sufficient and a
default account assignment based on Valuation area and Profit center is required.

Standard SAP Default Account Assignment (OKB9)

1.
2.
3.
4.

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.

But system does not determined Default cost object from OKB9 for automatically
generated lines that reference the entire document and not individual items.
105024, and 32654
Example: Key"DIF" (minor differences)
"UPF" (unplanned delivery costs)
"KDT" (tax exchange rate difference)
OFF (GTA)
"KDR" (exchange rate rounding)
For More Information Read SAP Notes

Default Account Assignment in OKB9

You can define automatic account assignments In OKB9 or defaults in the cost
element masters data record .The cost element master data record can determine
these assignments per controlling area, and the IMG per company code, business
area, and/or valuation area.
Transaction Code - OKB9

Here it is mandatory to set Minimum One Combination to call Default Account

Assigned Object
1.
Valuation Area is mandatory
2.
Business Area is mandatory
3.
Profit center is mandatory
Here we have set as 1Valuation Area is mandatory

Here whenever Prerequisite met from your Transaction System will pickup default
cost center as per Valuation area.

Define Substitution OKC9

In substitution, the SAP System checks whether particular input values satisfy one
or more user-defined conditions. If the condition is fulfilled, the values are
automatically replaced by other values.
Standard settings
The following callup points are defined in the standard SAP System for Controlling:

0001 - Document row : Used for all CO-relevant postings in external

accounting as well as for manual postings in CO.

0010 Order: Used for order background processing and irrelevant for
account assignment checks.

0100 - Document header: Used for manual postings in CO, such as reposting
costs or activity allocation.
Activities
1.
1. Determine in which controlling area you want to substitute values.
2.
2. Create a substitution.
Proceed as follows:
a) Choose the "New entries" function.
b) Enter the controlling area in which the substitution is to be
executed.
c) Enter a callup point.
d) Save your entries
e) Choose "Environment -> Substitution".
f) Enter a name and a callup point for the substitution.
You can use an existing substitution as a reference.

g) Change the model data to meet your specifications, or copy them

without changes.
h) Save your entries.
i) If you do not use a reference, proceed as follows:
j) Verify your entries by freeing the data for release.
k) Enter a description of the substitution.
l) To define the substitution steps, choose "Insert entry".
m) Choose the substitution fields in the dialog box that appears.
You can choose "Exit only" or database fields. "Exit only" ensures that all fields
allowed for substitution are available only in this USER-EXIT. Otherwise, you can
replace one field only, using a value defined in the USER-EXIT.
n) Transfer one or more of the displayed substitution fields.
o) Enter a description of the substitution step.
p) Enter one or more conditions under "Prerequisites".
Use the function "Fields for conditions" to do so. You may also maintain rules by
choosing the corresponding function.
q) Enter constant values for the fields to be substituted, or store a
substitution exit.
r) Save the substitution steps.
s) Return to the initial screen.
t) Enter the substitution's name for your controlling area and set an
activation level.
Activation level "1" ensures that the substitution is active in the
correct controlling area.
u) Save the substitution.
Note on transport
To transport substitutions, a separate function is available in the IMG for "General
Controlling"
Transaction Code - OKC9

SubstitutionPrerequisite Company code =1000 and Controlling area =1000

If Prerequisite is met substitute by User exit UOKB0

Check Client specific user exit GCX2

Transaction code: GCX2
Here you need to check assigned program for the Application Area GBLS.

You need to some change in Program, First copy from Existing

program RGGBS000.

Copy from Exiting program SE38

Copy from Existing program and change in Z Program, Ask technical guy if you are
not familiar on Program, for copy or change new program you need to developer ID.

Change in Z Program as below-

Note : see below changes are based on organization structure here you need to
determine which field you can enter to get Cost center, if you are using Business
area so OKB9 can be determine by Business area .
We have made OKB9 account assignment as per Valuation Area, but here system
does not determine profit center and Valuation Area for auto generated line item,
Our Business Place and Section Code is equal to Plant (Valuation Area)

Automatic account assignment OKB9 ( Set Acc.

Assignment "3 Profite center is mandatory")
Posted by RAHEEM BAKSH in SAP ERP Financials - Controlling on Feb 4, 2014 8:11:11 AM
inShare1

Hi All,
I am writing here My Next blog which is related to Automatic account Assignment OKB9 does not work.
In My previous Blog there was Mention that in OKB9 set Acc assignment 1 As valuation area is
mandatory, Now here in case if you have set Acc assignment 3 Profit Center is mandatory.
All steps will remain same as mention in Previous blog Please refer the Link Automatic account
assignment OKB9 does not work.
Now question is here, if you have set Account assignment In OKB9 "3 Profit Center is mandatory"
The System not able to get Cost center from OKB9 for Auto-generated line item or for Eg. You have
Created COGS Account as cost element and assigned it on GBB-VAX.
Make Some Addition changes in Program "ZRGGBS000_1"
IF COBL-PRCTR IS INITIAL .
COBL-PRCTR = COBL-PPRCTR.

and

I_PRCTR = COBL-PRCTR
