• Key Concepts: 
  Multiple account assignment is a feature of SAP Materials Management (MM) that allows a single material to be assigned to multiple accounts. This feature is useful for companies that need to track the cost of materials across multiple accounts, such as when a material is used in multiple departments or locations. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use multiple account assignment, the user must first create an account assignment group in the SAP system. This group will contain all of the accounts that the material will be assigned to. Once the group is created, the user can assign the material to each account in the group. The user can also specify how much of the material should be assigned to each account. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using multiple account assignment, it is important to ensure that all of the accounts in the group are up-to-date and accurate. This will help ensure that the cost of materials is accurately tracked across all accounts. Additionally, it is important to regularly review and update the account assignment groups as needed.
