Derive preliminary account assignment from G/L account

Indicates that the preliminary account assignment is to be derived from the G/L account.

If you have set the indicator and the account determination facility supplies a G/L account, the preliminary account assignment is determined automatically.

This means that the system assigns the relevant item to a cost center, an order or a profit center. The assignment can be carried out at the following organizational levels:

x Company code x Valuation area x Plant

If Inventory Management is not active in your system, you must specify (enter) the preliminary account

assignments for all the items manually. Setting this indicator enables you to by-pass this step. You will then no longer get the dialog box for the entry of a preliminary account assignment.

You maintain the automatic account assignment specification facility using the Customizing functionality of

Financial Accounting under Maintain automatic account determination.

x Debit delivery costs separately

Indicates that the delivery costs for purchase orders with account assignment are posted to a separate account.

Set the indicator if you want the system to post the delivery costs to a separate account.
