Summary :
SAP Note states that for releases 2.2A to 3.1I, internal orders take precedence over cost centers in account assignments when both are applicable, particularly in Asset Accounting where the system cannot assign both simultaneously. Up to release 3.1I, asset balance sheet accounts cannot be assigned to cost centers or orders except for statistical postings from release 3.0 onward. Specific configurations are required for depreciation and interest area postings, where the system restricts or facilitates cost center and order assignments based on depreciation area settings. Post-capitalization and write-ups are always offset to the specified cost center or order if the G/L account's layout permits. Retirements typically do not permit assignments except for careful adjustments in P&L statements for CO objects. Post-release 4.0A alterations include a requirement for accounts, typically gains or losses, to be created as cost elements and defined in asset master records, adjusting the assignment according to new CO account policies and profit center definitions. Direct assignments to cost centers or orders in profit center accounting specify further detailing in asset management post-release 4.0A, emphasizing changes in dual assignments handling and deprecating previous substitution settings used for determining cost centers or orders.
