SAP Note 13423 - Account assignment not possible in inventory

Symptom:

No account assignment can be entered when posting inventory discrepancies.

Cause and prerequisites

This function is not implemented.

Solution
In Customizing an account assignment can be made for every inventory adjustment account. To do this the inventory adjustment account must first be defined as a cost element (Transaction KA01 / KA06):
Accounting -> Controlling -> Cost centers -> Master data -> Cost element -> Create primary / secondary. Then an account assignment can be made for the cost element (Transaction OKB9):
Tools -> Customizing -> Setup menu -> Accounting -> Controlling -> Cost centers -> Actual postings -> Automatic account assignment.

If this account assignment is implemented every posting to the particular inventory adjustment account will automatically receive the appropriate account assignment.
