Answer:
Hi,
The personal setting is only enabling you to set the default account assignment per user (not per PO screen).
Cheers,

Have faith that it can be done!
Ever since we went live 3 years ago, we get account 510000 to default into every po that is created for a GL account. In fact it works so good that we could not shut it off - and hence we had to block the account from any postings to prevent incorrectly coded PO's. I have spent numerous hours looking for where this mystery default is in config, but to no avail.
If you find it please post where you found it so I can get rid of it.
-Still aimlessly wandering through the perplexing realms of SAP config......
Answer:
Hi Cody,
There have been several possibilities where the automatic account assignment determination is made during PO creation and it is a must that you should try to investigate the linkage. For instance, in case of account assigned PO, the automatic account assignment determination is made via the setting in Transaction OME9 where you should look at 'Account Modification' field. In most cases, this is set as 'VBR'. So what you should do is to go to Transaction OBYC and deactivate the linkage between G/L account and Valuation Class for Transaction/Event Key GBB/VBR.
Cheers,

Hi,
As far as I know, there is no mechanism to set a Default G/L Account in a PO for a material/Plant combination.
I t can at best be derived based on the Account Assignment Category as Hans explained earlier with the help of Account Modifier.

Answer:
Just assign the material with a valuation class & define the G/L account for the valuation class. The same G/L account will be picked for PO with account assignment also.
Hope this helps.
