Hello Sachin,
Using revenue account determination we assign cost centers and dunning areas.
We define the control of revenue account determination for transferring billing values from the SD module to the FI module. Revenue account determination is carried out using the condition technique.
In simple words, it tells us which revenue goes to which G/L account. We assign three digit account key in our material and customer master to post in respective G/Ls only.
This determination is done on various parameters as maintained. Like,
Cust Grp/Material Grp/Acctkey
Cust Grp/Account key
Material Grp/Acct key
General
Acct key
For controlling revenue account determination, the following criteria
are important:
o   Account determination table
    In the account determination table, you define the criteria on which
    account determination should depend.
o   Access sequence
    Here, you define in which sequence fields are read from the billing
    document (header and item). An access sequence refers to the
    permitted field combinations stored in the condition table.
o   Account determination type
    The account determination type is a module of the conditions
    technique. You have to create at least one account determination
    type and allocate it to an account determination procedure.
o   Account determination procedure
    The account determination procedure contains the necessary account
    determination types with which the SAP System can automatically find
    the revenue accounts.
o   Account key
    With the three-digit account key, you finally allocate the revenue
    account.
