charged via the account assignment category such as (cost center, sales order,
and so on) Which accounts are to be charged when the incoming invoice or
goods receipt is posted & which account assignment data you must provide.

of the total cost on the basis of this partial invoice, whereas cost centers 4
and 5 will not be charged at all. (The latter two cost centers will not be
debited until the remaining amount is invoiced.)
