The settings maintained in the Mandatory Account Assignments are used when a business user directly assigns the respective G/L account in a business transaction.

For Example:

• A Supplier Invoice item is assigned to G/L account ABC in the Cost Assignment tab. 
• For the invoice to be posted a Cost Center must be assigned as well. Otherwise an error message will appear.

But when using the bank charges payment method this process is not triggered as bank charges are always posted to the miscellaneous ledger. Here, a specific G/L account cannot be selected.
