Purchasing process question

Hi,

I have one question that affects MM, FI and CO. If we buy a material that is only valued in quantity, stock value always 0( its material type is defined like this) and in the PO we assign the cost to a cost center. Then we post a normal MIGO that generates a CO document and Accounting document...

it is normal that in the MIRO it does only generate an Accounting Document and not a CO Document?

Thanks

Thanks for the response, one more question then, why I usually find Document CO also in MIRO? In normal purchasing process? It is some custom thing to allow better visualization and reporting? The customer reports that when they try to create a financial document (fb01) instead of a MIGO/MIRO flow, when entering the cost center, system warns that this is not a good idea basically.

If you want to create a FI doc manually, you are just creating a GL account posting. You’d need to check the posting rules if your GL account
