Documentation
Definition
Defines that no further quantities can be posted to the account assignment item, unless they are used to settle an existing goods receipt surplus or an invoice surplus. This even applies if you have allowed overdeliveries in the purchase order item details.
Use
If you set this indicator, the system determines the final account assignment quantity from the purchase order history, depending on the distribution logic you chose:
- If you chose distribution by quantity, the system compares the delivered and invoiced quantities for the account assignment item, and sets the higher quantity as the final account assignment quantity.
- If you chose distribution by amount, the system compares the delivered and invoiced quantities for the account assignment item that the system has calculated exactly to the floating point from the amounts, and sets the higher quantity as the account assignment quantity. For distribution by amount, the system saves the final account assisgnment quantity exactly to the floating point, and displays it on the screen rounded to three decimal places.
- If you chose distribution by percentage, the system changes the distribution logic to distribution by quantity as soon as you set the final account assignment indicator. This is necessary to avoid rounding errors on distribution of the quantity difference. For this reason, we recommend that you do not choose distribution by percentage if you want to work with the final account assignment indicator in your procurement process.
Note: The system only distributes subsequent partial goods receipts and invoice receipts to account assignment items with a final account assignment indicator up to the level of the final account assignment quantity. Distribution to items with a final account assignment indicator is always on a fill-up basis, even if you specified a different distribution in the partial invoice indicator.
As long as quantities have been invoiced but not delivered, the system defines the final account assignment quantity on the basis of the invoice quantity. At the next partial goods receipt, the system first distributes the goods receipt quantity proportionally to all account assignment items with an invoice surplus, regardless of whether these items have a final account assignment indicator set. Once the invoice surplus is settled, the system first distributes the goods receipt surplus proportionally on a fill-up basis to the items with a final account assignment indicator, up to the final account assignment quantity. Then the system distributes the remaining goods receipt quantity to all account assignment items without a final account assignment indicator, in accordance with your settings for the partial invoice indicator.
If you deselect the final account assignment indicator for an account assignment item, the system posts quantities to the account assignment item, according to the distribution you specified, on the next partial goods or invoice receipt.
Dependencies
If you want to set the final account assignment indicator for an account assignment item, the following prerequisites must be fulfilled:
- You created the purchase order manually.
- You have have specified valuated goods receipt for the purchase order item, if you are expecting a goods receipt.
- If you are not expecting a goods receipt, you must not have created an invoicing plan, and in Customizing for Materials Management you must have specified that account assignments cannot be changed in the invoice.
- You defined multiple account assignment for the purchase order item.
- You have entered follow-on documents, such as goods receipts or invoice receipts, for the purchase order item.
- You have not defined the purchase order item as a returns item.
- You have activated service-based invoice verification, if you enter service items (item category D) for which you want to use final account assignment. For unplanned service lines (in a limit), the final account assignment indicator is for information only.
When you have set the final account assignment indicator, select a final account assignment reason to show why you have set it for this account assignment item. If the message is defined as an error message in Customizing, you cannot save the final account assignment indicator without selecting a final account assignment reason.
