* Special notes regarding default account assignment data 
In the app "Default Settings for User" if a default account assignment category, such as 'K', is maintained along with a default GL Account and cost center.  The system will default this data for the user when they create a purchase requisition in the 'Manage Purchase Requisition - Professional' app. Defaulting account assignment data only in this way could lead to incorrect accounting data in follow on documents, if the user does not completely know how account assignment works in Procurement.  

If no default account assignment category is maintained, the system will always determine  the accounting data from customizing. The main relevant customizing is defined below:   

• Automatic Account Determination (SSCUI 100297) (Here, the default G/L Account is defined based on the GBB posting key and the valuation class)
• Entry Aids for Items Without a Material Master (SSCUI 101602)  If there is no material ID, the system uses the valuation class for the material group if it is maintained in this customization
• Manage Default Account Assignments  (SSCUI 102639) Using the default G/L Account the system will pick up the default cost center assigned here

Please note also, the system always respects manually entered account assignment data. Changing accounting data like the GL Account manually will NOT redetermine the other account assignment data like default cost center linked to the G/L Account. To change any account assignment data from the defaulted values, the account assignment category should be completely removed and re-entered. This triggers a complete re-determination of the accounting data. See KBA 1916523 and Question 24 of FAQ note 496082.
