Hi there,
I have gone thru lots of postings on SCN but its not very relevant for my situation.
Scenario is like this:
Free of cost orders are generated. So there is no sales price but we are still liable to pay taxes to government. Customer is not liable for taxes. So the tax amount is generated during billing (we turned on Billing with 100% discount) and gets posted to an Expense Account and offset to a tax liability account.
Different sales groups uses the same order type / billing type to issue free goods (donations, samples, replacements, advertisements etc etc.). All these need different cost centers. So in Sales Orders we have different Reason Codes to open up cost center field. So what ever cost center users enter in SO is getting copied to Billing but when released to account, cost center is not getting populated and accounting document is not getting generated. (Billing document Account Assignment field shows cost center 8021.
We wanted to capture actual cost center to the Expense Account. Most of the discussions here state to use OKB9 to default a cost center but we want to capture the actual cost center from billing (Sales Order) to accounting and not a default cost center from OKB9.
How can this be achieved? Why is the cost center from billing document not flowing to accounting? What could be wrong here?
Thanks
Vijay
