Summary
https://blogs.sap.com/2013/04/22/automatic-account-assignment-okb9-does-not-work/ 1/18
Automa c assignment occurs during pos ngs in external accoun ng (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 accoun ng relevant pos ng. This is
always the case if the R/3 System automa cally created the pos ng row in ques on.
This paper highlights an alterna ve approach where standard default account assignment (OKB9) based on Valua on
area or Profit Center is not sufficient and a default account assignment based on Valua on area and Profit center is
required.

Standard SAP – Default Account Assignment (OKB9)
The standard SAP offers to specify a default account assignment (Cost Center/Internal Order)
1. Per company code

2. Per Business area
3. Per Profit Center
4. Per Valua on 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 Valua on area.
But system does not determined Default cost object from OKB9 for automa cally generated lines that reference the
en re document and not individual items.
For More Information Read SAP Notes 105024, and 32654
Example: Key-
“DIF” (minor differences)
“UPF” (unplanned delivery costs)
“KDT” (tax exchange rate difference)
“OFF” (GTA)
“KDR” (exchange rate rounding)
Default Account Assignment in OKB9
You can define automa c 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 valua on area.
Transac on Code – OKB9
Here it is mandatory to set Minimum One Combina on to call Default Account Assigned Object
1. Valua on Area is mandatory

2. Business Area is mandatory
3. Profit center is mandatory
Here we have set as “1”Valua on Area is mandatory
Here whenever Prerequisite met from your Transac on System will pickup default cost center as per Valua on area.
De ne Substitution OKC9
In subs tu on, the SAP System checks whether par cular input values sa sfy one or more user-defined condi ons. If the
condi on is fulfilled, the values are automa cally replaced by other values.
Standard se ngs
The following callup points are defined in the standard SAP System for Controlling:
0001 – Document row : Used for all CO-relevant pos ngs in external accoun ng as well as for manual pos ngs in CO.
0010 – Order: Used for order background processing and irrelevant for account assignment checks.
0100 – Document header: Used for manual pos ngs in CO, such as repos ng costs or ac vity alloca on.
Ac vi es
1. 1. Determine in which controlling area you want to subs tute values.

2. 2. Create a subs tu on.
Proceed as follows:
a) Choose the “New entries” func on.
b) Enter the controlling area in which the subs tu on is to be executed.
c) Enter a callup point.
d) Save your entries
e) Choose “Environment -> Subs tu on”.
f) Enter a name and a callup point for the subs tu on.
You can use an exis ng subs tu on as a reference.
g) Change the model data to meet your specifica ons, 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 descrip on of the subs tu on.
l) To define the subs tu on steps, choose “Insert entry”.
m) Choose the subs tu on fields in the dialog box that appears.
You can choose “Exit only” or database fields. “Exit only” ensures that all fields allowed for subs tu on 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 subs tu on fields.
o) Enter a descrip on of the subs tu on step.
p) Enter one or more condi ons under “Prerequisites”.
Use the func on “Fields for condi ons” to do so. You may also maintain rules by choosing the corresponding func on.
q) Enter constant values for the fields to be subs tuted, or store a subs tu on exit.
r) Save the subs tu on steps.
s) Return to the ini al screen.
t) Enter the subs tu on’s name for your controlling area and set an ac va on level.
Ac va on level “1” ensures that the subs tu on is ac ve in the correct controlling area.
u) Save the subs tu on.
Note on transport
To transport subs tu ons, a separate func on is available in the IMG for “General Controlling”
Transaction Code – OKC9
Subs tu on-
Prerequisite – Company code =1000 and Controlling area =1000
If Prerequisite is met subs tute by User exit UOKB0
Check Client speci c user exit GCX2
Transac on code: GCX2
Here you need to check assigned program for the Applica on Area GBLS.
You need to some change in Program, First copy from Exis ng program RGGBS000.
Copy from Exiting program SE38
Copy from Exis ng 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 organiza on 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 Valua on Area, but here system does not determine profit center and
Valua on Area for auto generated line item,
Our Business Place and Sec on Code is equal to Plant (Valua on Area)
