Example
You wish to subsequently assign a purchase requisition item to a cost center. You thus enter 'K' in the account assignment category field and enter the necessary account assignment data.
In the change document, you then see two lines that were generated by the change:
Account assignment category changed from ' ' to 'K'
Object Short descr. Conseq. change Old New value Object 1
Item Acc. assgt. cat. ' ' 'K' Item
Through the entry of the account assignment category, the item was changed. Since this was not a consequential change, the value of the fields Object and Object 1 is 'Item'.
Account assignment data maintained
Object Short descr. Conseq. change Old New value Object 1
Acc. assgt. 01 X Item
Through the entry of the account assignment data, the account assignment was changed. This is a consequential change due to the entry of the account assignment category. As a result, under Object 1 you see the item (direct change) and under Object you see the account assignment (consequential change).
