Account Determination and Movement type

Hello Experts,
From SD course, we know that account determination is Account Key + Account assignment groups for customer and material respectively + Sorg + COA.
So, what does it mean by this definition of Movement type:
"The movement type is a three-digit key used to differentiate between goods movements in the R/3 System. Examples of these goods movements are goods receipts, goods issues or transfer postings It plays a central role in Automatic Account determination"

From SD course, we know that account determination is Account Key + Account assignment groups for customer and material respectively + Sorg + COA.
This is related to revenue account determination. Normally carried out by SD personal using t.code VKOA.
The movement type is a three-digit key used to differentiate between goods movements in the R/3 System. Examples of these goods movements are goods receipts, goods issues or transfer postings It plays a central role in Automatic Account determination
This is related to inventory account update (quantity/value]. For example, when a goods issue is made, the value and quantity in the stock account needs to be reduced. The G/L account assignment is configured by MM personnel using t.code OBYC.

  • Account determination for movement type 251

    Hi!
    While checking account determination for logistic movements, I find that according to standard customizing, movement type 251 is related to account modification VBR. You can easily see this: OMJJ --> Check movement type --> type "251" --> Select "Account Grouping".
    Now my question: what I don't understand is why VBR and not VAX. GBB-VBR is the transaction key + account modification for internal goods issues (such as consumptions of material) and it's accordingly associated to movements types 201, 261, etc. which seems logical to me since these are internal GI's.
    Now, 251 is IS-Retail movement type to reflect a POS sale, "GI for sales" as the short text indicates, so it is not an internal goods issue but rather an external one, not different from movement type 601, which is a normal sale and is associated to GBB-VAX. GBB-VAX is the transaction key + account modification for sales goods issue.
    I know I could easily copy 251 to create another movement type and assign any account modification to it, that's not the issue. The only problem is that I must explain to my client how account assignments work, and I cannot find a single reason why in standard SAP IS-R an external goods issue (251) is associated with an internal goods issue account modification (GBB-VBR).
    Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

  • Account determination by movement type ...........

    Hi All,
    I have a situation in which I have to post Good Receipt for a material which is not relevant for Invoice receipts. I have to create a PO and then Good Receipt. Normally when good receipt finance doc is created it hit the following accounts
    Debit : Balance Sheet Inventory Account
    Credit : GR/IR Clearing account.
    Since this material is not relevant for Invoice then there is no use of posting in GR/IR account and postings should happens as follows
    Debit : Balance Sheet Inventory Account
    Credit : P&L account with WBS assignment
    Is there any possibility I can achieve that. I would appreciate your ideas.
    Thanks
    MKR

    If you do not want any accounting entries during GR, then you will have to use the free goods indicator. This appears when you scroll right in ME21N.
    With this indicator, the PO is not relevant for invoice and essentially, you receive some free of charge items.

  • Define Account Grouping for Movement Types??

    hi
    In account determination the setting in transaction  OMWM - Define Account Grouping for Movement Types
    The above transaction needs any setting or its standard SAP settings??
    Can somebody explain me about this transaction in detail.
    Thanks

    OMWM is to decide account determination should happen via valuation grouping code or not. SAP standard is with valuation grouping code. I had never seen singe time anywhere it is deactivated.
    Account grouping for movemement you can see in OMJJ. (Inside movement type left side). It is also predefined by SAP. You see only account modifier and check acct. assignment is editable. Others cannot be edited.
    In case for same transaction if you want 2 different GL account needs to be triggered for same material in same plant, we copy a movemen type and create a new and assign a different account modifier.
    Then in OBYC against it we will maintain different GL account.
    Hope you are clear

  • Valuation class and movement type

    Hi sirs,
    What exactly mean by valuation class and is there any sublink to valuation class and movement type.
    BSR

    Hi BSR,
    Regarding the meaning of valuation class and link between valuation class and movement type, you just have to understand this.
    <b>valuation class + movement type = transaction key --> GL account</b>
    explanation :
    <b>Valuation class</b>
    It is a field maintained in the accounting view 1 of Material master. This is nothing but the classification of material like Raw material, Finished goods, WP, stores & spares etc. It is indicated as numerical number.
    <b>Movement type</b>
    This is a 3 digit numerical code which is used for all material movement in MM module. Say for example movement type 101 is used for Goods receipt from vendor or from production.
    <b>Transaction Key</b>
    The combination of valuation class and the movement type translates into a transaction key which indicates the type of transaction.
    remember:
    The combination of Valuation Class + the Movement Type helps in determining the GL accounts automatic updates.
    hope it helps and don't forget to assign points.

    Lily

  • Error while determining ref.mov.type for WM via Table 156S: 647/ / / /L/ /

    Guyz,
    Firstly despite the plant+storage location + warehouse no. assignments are done , my replenishment delivery (delivery for stock transport order between plants under same company code) is not picking up storage location and warehouse no and thus stopping me from doing picking and PGI (post goods issue).
    However in VL02N when i'm trying to change storage location for line item, i'm getting following weird error
    *Error while determining ref.mov.type for WM via Table 156S: 647/ / / /L/ /*
    I found a SAP Note(133223) regarding this error and VL02 transaction but that note was specific to older versions. I'm on ECC 6.0
    Any suggestions please ?
    Thanks

    Warehouse managment has its own movement types, most identical to inventory management movement types.
    These WM movement types are determined via reference movement types.
    the error you have just looks like your customizing is not complete.
    IMG > LE > WM > Interfaces > IM > define movement types.

  • G/L account assignment for movement type 561

    Hi Guys,
    Can someone please let me know where and how do I assign G/L account for the movement type 561.
    I'm referring to the account assignment tab in Material document, where the G/L account shows up. Where do I set this?

    Hi There
    In OMJJ for the movement type 561- there will be account grouping where you assigned the acc grp key,,
    For this Acc Grpng key in OBYC_in GBB_you have to maintain the GL account- In the combination of- Valuation Modifer-General modifier-Valuation Class-Debit(GL acc)-Credit(GL acc)
    in Material document- if you are using MIGO-
    MIGO- Display- Material Document-Enter the material document- Click enter- And click on the Doc info Tab-There you wil lfind the FI documents- Click on that now you will get the acc documents,,,
    Thanks

  • Account assignment for Movement type 561

    Dear Professionals
    Hi,
    I am new to SD.
    Pls give me ur advice.
    In my environment,
    MB1C:"Enter Other goods Receipt"
    -> Journal: "dr.Inventory/cr.COGS"
    (Movement type: 561)
    VL01N:"Outbound Delivery Create"
    -> Journal: "dr.Inventory/cr.COGS"
    (Movement type:601)
    I guess that the journal for MB1C is incorrect.
    I configured BSX and GBB on OBYC,
    but I have no idea how to change the account assignment per Movement type.
    Use OBWM?
    BR
    Y.Kaneko

    In OBYC for Transaction GBB,  instead of BSX,  maintain BSA, VAX & VAY for each Valuation Class of material and its respective G/L Account.
    For example, if you are trying for a FERT material, then the entries should be
    0001::::BSA:::::7920::::::4XXX30
    0001:::VAX:::::7920:::::::5XXX30
    0001:::VAY:::::7920:::::::6XXX30
    Also check in OMJJ whether you have the settings as follows:-
    MvT::S::Val.Upd:::Qty.upd:::Mvt::Cns:::Val.stng:::Cn:::TEKey:::Acc mod:::Check acct.
    561::::::::::::X::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::WA01:::::2:::::GBB:::::::BSA::::::::::::::::X
    561::::::::::::X::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::WA01:::::3:::::PRD::::::::PRA:::::::::
    561::::::::::::X::::::::::::X:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::WA01::::::2::::GBB:::::::BSA:::::::::::::::::X
    561::::::::::::X::::::::::::X:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::WA01::::::3:::::PRD:::::::PRA:::::::::
    Check whether your settings are similar to above.
    thanks

  • Relation between Inventory Process keys and movement types

    Dear All,
    Is there any way to find the relation between Inventory process keys (which is in SBIW-> Settings for Application specific data sources(PI) -->Logistics -->Settings for IBU Retail / CP --> Transaction key maintenance for SAP BW) and movement types .
    Thanks in advance...
    Regards,
    Raju

    Hi,
    Please read the note below.
    Note 353042 - Howto: Activate transaction key (PROCESSKEY)
    It has something for you ....
    The process key (0PROCESSKEY and 0BWAPPLNM) of the InfoSources has not been filled. As a result, no key figures are updated because of the update routine of the participating InfoCube and along with it no records are inserted into the InfoCube. In each update routine, the system checks the content of the PROCESSKEY. If this field has no contents, then no data is written into the InfoCube because of the IF condition in the update rules.
    Solution
    So that you can work in the above mentioned InfoSources, you MUST activate the determination of the process key. This is done with the help of Transaction MCB_ which you can find in the OLTP IMG for BW (Transaction SBIW) in your attached R/3 source system.
    Here you can choose your industry sector. 'Standard' and 'Consumer products' are for R/3 standard customers, whereas 'Retail' is intended for customers with R/3 Retail only.
    You can display the characteristics of the process key (R/3 field BWVORG, BW field 0PROCESSKEY) by using Transaction MCB0.
    If you have already set up historical data (for example for testing purposes) by using the setup transactions (Statistical Setup Programs) (for example: Purchasing: Tx OLI3BW, material movements: OLI1BW) into the provided setup tables (for example: MC02M_0SCLSETUP, MC03BF0SETUP), you unfortunately have to delete this data (Tx LBWG). After you have chosen the industry sector by using  MCB_, perform the setup again, so that the system fills a valid transaction key for each data record generated. Then load this data into your connected BW by using 'Full update' or 'Initialization of the delta process'. Check, whether the system updates data into the involved InfoCubes now.
    If all this is not successful, please see Note 315880, and set the application indicator 'BW' to active using Transaction 'BF11'.
    Hope this helps.

  • Error messag -'Error while determining ref.mov.type for WM via Table 156S:'

    Hi Guys,
    I am currently facing some issues with respect to the deliver creation.
    The scenario is somthing like this.
    I have assigned a FOC Item category to an Consignment Issue order type.
    The system is able to determine the Item category successfully.
    However when the delivery is created it throws an error message
    'Error while determining ref.mov.type for WM via Table 156S: 903/X/X/W/L/X/'
    Not sure why this occurs.
    All the settings seem to be set.
    If any one of you can help me out it would be great.
    Thanks.
    Regards,
    Pandi

    Dear Pandiraj
    The standard process is that consignment issue order should be created with reference to Proforma invoice.  Having said that I dont understand why you have assigned a FOC item category to issue order.  Not sure, whether this will work.  Also I feel that you should explain in detail the process for which you are configuring this.
    thanks
