Goods issue to cost center (BWA 201)

Hello together,
Our packaging materials are inventory managed by value and quantity.
When recording these materials on cost center (MIGO / BWA 201), the packaging expense should always be posted to the same cost center. The G/L account is automatically found by the entry in OBYC.
I have already stored a default account assignment in OKB9.
A fixed validation that only allows that the packaging expense is always posted to the one cost center is not desired.
My question: is there still a way to fix the cost center for packaging consumption with BWA 201?
If we sell packaging via a sales order, then strangely here the default account assignment is taken from OKB9.
Many greetings

    Hello,
    First of all, it is no surprise to me that when you sell packaging material, the consumption goes to cost center - that is exactly what the entry in OKB9 does! For consumption accounts for sales, there should always be a default account assignment to profitability segment in OKB9 (if you are using CO-PA).
    As an alternative you could build a substitution (but sounds like this is not desired?).
    Otherwise, you could still consider defining a different account in OBYC for the goods issue for the sales order than for the consumption on cost center. Then you could handle the two accounts separately in OKB9.
    Many greetings,
    Martin

    Hello Martin,
    the idea with the second G/L account is good. Then I could create a fixed validation for the new G/L account and assign it in OBYC as "Goods issue to cost center".
    This would ensure that all costs posted via BWA 201 always end up on the same cost center.
    Many greetings
