You'll see that there is no cost center information, although it's specified in the invoice items.

Cause

For the invoice items you have defined the account assignment as IMAT - Individual Material and also specified a cost center. In this scenario, the individual material is the cost object. Considering that this is an asset acquistion, the system will reach the Fixed Asset subledger with a G/L Account of type ASSET - Fixed assets. The cost center assignment you made is caried out to the fixed asset master data and used in the Interval Assignment. 

Furthermore, you can only allocate an amount to a cost center via G/L Account with type Cost or Expenses.
