For purchase order no part lines our company has the set up to fetch the account based on internal customer. This will always result in 2 accounts. One has cost center mandatory and other account has cost center as Can.

To avoid users forgetting to enter cost center in the order line we have done the pre posting set up (M108) as Mandatory pre posting.

If we make this preposting mandatory then we will have to enter the cost center for our other account which cost center is set up as Can.

Is there any setup so that mandatory preposting will only be mandatory for one specific account (the account with mandatory cost center in code part demands)

Hi, 

Rather than set M108 to mandatory, you could have a custom event to do validations for example if x is true, then mandate, else if y is true don’t mandate.   Custom event can check this type of assessment and stop a user flow. This would be something crafted by the IT department. 

 

The other less ideal way is allowing users to skip the pre-posting, then when transaction flows to error state as it is missing the cost center, Once the transaction is in error go back and correctly pre-post.  Not ideal, so the custom event is usually preferred. 

 

The mandatory pre-posting does not allow if /then else fi type logic. 

Best regards,
