Hi,
Before understanding the account category reference, once should know what material type and valuation class are and how they are important in the valuation process of a material. If we are not aware these, then it will be difficult to understand what account category reference is and how it is related to valuation structure. Since our materials are grouped together on the basis of material types and valuation classes for the purpose of valuation at different levels, we have to establish some link between these two components of valuation structure.
Account category reference is the link between the valuation classes and the material types. The account category reference is a combination of valuation classes. Precisely one account category reference is assigned to a material type. In the standard SAP R/3 System, an account category reference is created for each material. The account category reference is, in turn, type assigned to precisely one valuation class. This means that each material type has its own valuation class. In the Standard SAP we have the following account category references for material type finished goods and valuation classes 7920.
FERT - 0009 - Ref. for finished products
7920 - Finished Goods - 0009
In the standard we have some predefined material type, valuation class and account category reference and a link between them has already established by the system itself. If we are using these standard setting no additional efforts are required. But to meet any specific requirement, if we have to create a new material type or a new valuation classes or a new Account Category Reference or all the three, then we have to establish this link. In configuration we have to make the following settings:
Create new material type
Create new account category reference
Define new valuation class
Link material types & valuation class via account category reference
Create an account determination for each valuation class in the step configure automatic posting
Once this link has been established for the entire new requirement and automatic posting has been configured to meet this requirement, then nothing more is required. The system will take care of the rest of the activities automatically.

Valuation type for two account category reference

Hi Experts
I created valuation type for
1) DOMESTIC & IMPORT with account category reference 0001 (for raw material)
it is applicable only with ROH material type.
2) Same Valuation type DOMESTIC & IMPORT system donu2019t allow to create for other account category reference 0003 ( it is for ZESS spares)
Here requirement is material type ROH & ZESS need to DOMESTIC purchase and IMPORT purchase. hence both material type need DOMESTIC & IMPORT valuation type How to solve this?
karan

Assign both the valuation class to the account category reference. And then assign both the material types to the same account category reference.
You can assign multiple valuation class to an Account Category Reference.
A valuation class can only be assigned to only one account category reference
Only ONE account category reference can be assigned to a material type
where as multiple Material Types can be assigned to a account category reference.
Hope this helps!!

Hi,
If you are setting the valuation class against the material group (in "entry aids for POs without material master).
then it doesn't make any difference, if you change the link between the valuation class and the account assignment category. this link is ONLY used to determine the valuation classes that can be entered in MM01 and MM02. the link between the valuation class and the acc assign cat does not affect anything financially. the valuation class is the key that controls the financial postings and so if you are not changing this there is NO PROBLEM.
You have even less to worry about because these are obviously NOT stock items (because they have no material master record) and so the risk of changing the valuation class is reduced (and you are not even changing this).
So don't worry, all will be OK.

Material type change which has different Acct Category reference

Hi,
Is it possible to change the Material type which has different Account category reference?
Example

0005

Regards
Vengat

Hi,
Why to change material type? Whats your business requirement? If you will change material type, there will be so many effects to inventory and also to accounting.
Ok ., But try with t. code: MMAM

There is nothing in SAP called account class reference , There is a term called Account class which is used for creating Account groups, Account category reference is used for assignment of valuation class to Material type for pulling & assignment of G/L accounts

Changing Account assignment reference after posting flows to accounting

Hi All,
Is there a way for me to change the account assignment reference after I posted some flows in the past for a interest rate financial instrument?
I need this because accounting wants to change the GL account posting for legal fees from one GL to another when a long term debt changes to a short term debt (less than a year away from maturity). I was assuming that changing the account assignment reference in TPM28 would work. Is this true? I do not want to transfer any of the old postings but anything moving forward.
Thanks
Regards
Morgan

Hi Ravi/Mahesh/Lorenz
The issue is I can do valuation class transfer for securities or loans (TPM15). But I have my long term debt in the money market area (Interest rate instrument with product category 550). I have assigned company code, transaction type, product type to determine the account assignment reference. So I am not able to do a valuation class transfer I think. Is there any other way?
I tried to access TPM82 & TPM15M & it says 'Function not allowed'. We are on Ehp5.0.
Am I missing something?
Thanks
Regards

GOA Distribution SRM 5.0-ECC 6.0 - Account Category & Multiple Distribution

Hi everyboby,
I'm trying to distribute a GOA, or better I have distributed a GOA to ECC, but I have a problem 2 problems:
1.) account category on the idoc BLAORD (inbound in ECC) is always U (Unknown). Instead I want that account category is blank (my back end contract has to have item category W (material group) and account category "blank", in this way i can create a release order with item category standard and account category "blank", for direct material). How can I assign Account Category to GOA? It must be possible,I think me, do it with standard customizing, without any BAdI!!!
2.) I want to distribute GOA to several plant on the same backend system, but obviously the contract number is the same and therefore on ECC back end only one contract is created. Is it possible to do this distribution without custom implementation like BAdIs?
Thanks in advance.
Bye!!!

Hi Marco,
1. the account assignment is U only for text items. In case material record driven line items are transferred, the account category is blank, like you expect.
2. A GOA can only be distributed for each Backend System, and within one document is create for each combination of POrg and CompCode. This only works when you have POrgs arranged within Company Codes and not accross Company Codes. If the later is the case, only one document is created.
More than one document is only possible via development by programming method MODIFY_DATA_CTR of BAdI BBP_CTR in R/3.
Thanks,
Claudia

Create G/L Accounts with Reference

Hi all
pls explain me what is the use this step

Hello,
You can create a GL account with Reference using t-code FS00. The reference functionality allows accounts to be created by copying the attributes of an existing account.
You can copy the G/L account master records from this reference company code and edit the data in your target company code before creating the master records.
When editing the copied G/L account master records, you can easily change the account numbers and names
You can limit the number of accounts to be copied by entering a number range.
The G/L account master records copied are displayed in a table. You can change the account number and name and can save the changes in the table without saving the G/L accounts.
You can check to see if the table contains accounts without a name or with identical account numbers.
Hope this helps.

Check double invoice with GL account and Reference field

Dear SAP GURU's,
I am very new to SDN. I have one query.
I know we have the option of control double invoice against Vendor/Customer by using reference field. But here my client is asking that control has to be from GL account and reference field, becoz some times he will receive the shipping bills 3 or 4 times agianst one billing document ( i am booking Transporter Vendor invoice by using FB60) with same bill number but expense GL's will be different most of the times. Some times knowingly or unknowingly same GL Expenditure account will be repeated with the same shipping bill number. This was happend most of the times.
So can i know how can i get the GL account and Reference field checking and error message for the same.
Thanks & Regards,
Shobha.

Dear Shobha,
I feel that having a check on GL is not a good idea. If your client insists you can go for an exit or BTE.
We used BTE to have the same functionality of Logistics for FI documents also in our office.
Duplicate Invoice check process documentation is given below for your ready reference --
with Regards
Check Flag for Double Invoices or Credit Memos
Indicator which means that incoming invoices and credit memos are checked for double entries at the time of entry.
Use
Checking Logistics documents
Firstly, the system checks whether the invoice documents have already been entered in the Logistics invoice verification; the system checks invoices that are incorrect, or invoices that were entered for invoice verification in the background.
Checking FI documents
The system then checks whether there are FI or Accounting documents that were created with the original invoice verification or the Logistics verification, and where the relevant criteria are the same.
Checking Logistics documents
In checking for duplicate invoices, the system compares the following characteristics by default:
Vendor
Currency
Company code
Gross amount of the invoice
Reference document number
Invoice document date
If all of these characteristics are the same, the system issues a message that you can customize.
When you enter credit memos or subsequent adjustments, the system does not check for duplicate invoices.
Exception: Country-specific solution for Argentina, where invoices and credit memos are checked for duplicate documents.
No message is issued if you enter a document that has previously been reversed.
Dependencies
The system only checks for duplicate invoices in Materials Management if you enter the reference document number upon entering the invoice.
In Customizing for the Logistics invoice verification, you can specify that the following characteristics should not be checked:
Reference document number
Invoice document date
Company code
This means that you can increase the likelihood that the system will find a duplicate invoice, because you can reduce the number of characteristics checked.
Example
The following document has already been entered and posted:
Reference document number: 333
Invoice date: 04/28/00
Gross invoice amount: 100.00
Currency: EUR
Vendor: Spencer
Company code: Munich
You have made the following settings in Customizing:
The field "Reference document number" and "Company code" are deselected, which means that these characteristics will not be checked.
Now you enter the following document:
Reference document number: 334
Invoice date: 04/28/00
Gross invoice amount: 100.00
Currency: EUR
Vendor: Spencer
Company code: Berlin
Result
Because you entered a reference document when you entered the invoice, the system checks for duplicate invoices.
The reference document number and the company code are different from the invoice entered earlier, but these characteristics are not checked due to the settings you have made in Customizing.
All other characteristics are the same. As a result, the system issues a message that a duplicate entry has been made.
If the "Reference document number" had been selected in Customizing, the system would have checked the document and discovered that it was different from the invoice entered earlier, so it would not have issued a message.
Checking FI documents
Depending on the entry in the field "Reference", one of the following checks is carried out:
1. If a reference number was specified in the sequential invoice/credit memo, the system checks whether an invoice/credit memo has been posted where all the following attributes agree:
Company code
Vendor
Currency
Document date
Reference number
2. If no reference number was specified in the sequential invoice/credit memo, the system checks whether an invoice/credit memo has been posted where all the following attributes agree:
Company code
Vendor
Currency
Document date
Amount in document currency

Put on account without reference assignment.

After completion of the payment design F110 are some types of documents (the order for costs) put on account without reference assignment.
This problem occured after recording SAPKB46C15.
Many thanks for your help.

My understanding of offers..... The $300 Reward Card for triple play services is an ONLY offer, meaning no monthly discount being applied. No 12 month commitment, cancel anytime without $180 Early termination fee.This is primarly for short term user who knows that service time will be limited. The $150 Reward Card for triple play is with discount offer. You may request to give up your $50-60 a month discount, to receive the $300 Reward Card but will be hundreds of dollars behind in savings over 12 month contract. http://www.att.com/u-verse/explore/offer-details.jsp
