1735418 - Purchase Orders Missing in Report "Purchase Orders per Account Assignment"

Symptom

When executing report Purchase Orders per Account Assignment, some purchase orders are missing in the results list even though no filters maintained.

Environment

SAP Business ByDesign

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Go to Purchase Requests and Orders work center.
  2. Go to Reports -> List view.
  3. Open report Purchase Orders per Account Assignment.
  4. Execute.

In the results list, some Purchase Orders are missing.

Cause

The purchase orders are for To-Stock items. 

In To-Stock procurement scenario, no account assignment is done to a cost center or any other cost object like sales order, project, etc... In such a case, the postings happen to the G/L accounts according to the account determination group maintained for the corresponding material and supplier. The costs are not explicitly incurred against any cost object and hence one does not see the cost object ID in the Journal Entry. The postings happen to the inventory account of the business residence where the material is going to be stocked.

Hence the purchase orders for To-Stock items are excluded from the report. 

Resolution

Expected behavior.
