• You have defined that the criteria for determining the G/L account are based on the product category and the account assignment category (optional). You have made the settings for this in Customizing for SAP Supplier Relationship Management under SRM Server -> Cross-Application -> Basic Settings -> Account Assignment -> Define G/L Account for Product Category and Account Assignment Category.
• You have defined your own criteria for determining the G/L account (optional).
• You have made the settings for this in Customizing for SAP Supplier Relationship.
• Using Multiple account assignment, You can distribute costs across accounts by percentage, by quantity, or by value.
• When data is transferred to an SAP back-end system, the cost distribution by quantity and value is not always retained. Instead, the system changes the cost distribution type as follows:

• Cost distribution by quantity: Service items are converted to percentages.
• Cost distribution by value: Material and service items are converted to percentages.

• Flexible type of account assignment category
• The account assignment category only defines the type of account assignment data that is entered in the generic fields for account assignment information.

The following account assignment categories are available:

• Asset
• Cost center
• Network
• Order
• Sales order
• WBS element

In the SAP back-end system the account assignment category is part of the item data, whereas in SAP SRM the account assignment category is managed at account level.
