Specify Account Assignment Types for Account Assignment Objects
The possible account assignment types for account assignment objects are: APC balance sheet posting or account
assignment of depreciation. In this step, you assign account assignment types to the account assignment objects.
These assignments are dependent on
 Company code
 Depreciation area
 Transaction type
If you want to assign both account assignment types to an account assignment object, you have to make at least two
table entries for the account assignment object.
You can make a generic entry, using an asterisk (*), for the transaction type. The system then uses the account
assignment type you entered for all transaction types for that account assignment object (in the company code and
depreciation area). SAP also supplies a generic company code and two generic depreciation areas (see below).
Program logic
If you use both generic transaction types and "normal" transaction types in the table, the system gives priority to the
non-generic entries before generic entries. The system also gives priority to the non-generic company code over the
non-generic transaction type. This applies especially to deactivated account assignment types.
Example
The entries below have been entered in the Customizing table for an account assignment object. The system
determines the account assignment type by checking the entries in sequence from top to bottom, until it finds a
suitable record.
 CoCd 0001, Area 20, Trans. type 100
 CoCd 0001, Area 20, Trans. type *
 CoCd * , Area 00, Trans. type 100
 CoCd * , Area 00, Trans. type *
Standard settings
SAP provides one generic company code (*) and two generic depreciation areas (00 and 01). The settings for
depreciation area 00 are valid for all depreciation areas other than 01. The settings for generic depreciation area 01
are valid in all company codes for depreciation area 01.
Activities
Make your settings for the account assignment type in the account assignment object in the following order:

1. First for the generic company code and the generic transaction type
2. Then for the generic company code and non-generic transaction types
3. Then for non-generic company codes and the generic transaction type
4. Last for non-generic company codes and non-generic transaction types
Activate the account assignment types you need. You do not have to delete those you do not need. You can just
deactivate them, and activate them later if you need them.
