3395715 - Wrong G/L Account Is Derived For Production Order Confirmation

Symptom

The resource X has been maintained in the production order, and the resource is mapped to G/L account: AAA.

There is a service Y maintained in the master data of this resource X, and the service is mapped to G/L account: BBB.

In the journal entry of production order confirmation, for the resource line, see it's posted to G/L account: AAA. 

(X represents the resource ID. Y represents the service ID.)

(AAA and BBB represent different G/L accounts.)

Environment

SAP Business ByDesign

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Go to General Ledger work center.
  2. Go to Journal Entries view.
  3. Search for the journal entry ID. 
  4. See that the G/L account used is AAA.
  5. Why G/L account AAA is derived instead of BBB.

Cause

Although a service has been assigned to the related resource, there is no service maintained in the production confirmation document itself. If no service is involved in the document, then the G/L account is derived using the default entry in account determination for resource, which is G/L account AAA.

The journal entry derivation does not consider whether the a service has been assigned to a resource, instead it directly check whether the required service is used in the production confirmation or not. Only when the service itself appears in the production confirmation document, the related G/L account BBB will be considered in generating a journal entry.

Resolution

Assign a service to a resource and also to the production model. Then the G/L account BBB which is directly related to the service can be brought to the production order and production confirmation.
