3542501 - Issue with Account Assignment in Purchase Requisition in SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

• When creating a purchase requisition with account assignment 'Project (P)', and distribution indicator 'Single Account Assignment', copying the line item and updating the account assignment to 'Cost Centre (K)' results in the second line item having both the cost center and project as account assignments.
• This occurs even when the distribution is set to single account assignment.
• The issue results in data inaccuracy impacting financial reports due to incorrect postings.

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

1. Create a purchase requisition with account assignment 'Project (P)', and distribution indicator 'Single Account Assignment'.
2. Create another PR line item by copying the first line item.
3. Update the line-item account assignment to 'Cost Centre (K)' and add a cost center.
4. Save the purchase requisition with the 2-line items.
5. Check the 2nd line item. The account assignment has both the cost center and project.

The issue arises when copying a PR line item and then changing the account assignment category e.g. from 'Project (P)' to 'Cost Centre (K)', the cost object from the original line item remains. This causes the line item to have 2 cost objects i.e. a cost center and a WBS element on one single account assignment line.

1. When an account assignment is changed, it is recommended to create a fresh item for the accounting change, which will create a fresh accounting line.
2. Changing Material or Material group will refresh the accounting lines.
3. This issue is planned to be fixed in the 2502CE release.
