Account group and Account Type.

Hi all,
Could you please tell me the diferences between GL Account group (by example cash, expense, revenue ....) which we define in IMG - Financial Accounting - General Ledger Accounting - G/L Accounts - Master Records - Preparations - Define Account Group and Account Type (by example: Vendor, Customer, Material, GL Account) which is in the screen "create account type" IMG - Financial Accounting - Financial Accounting Global Settings - Document - Document Header - Define Document Types ?
Thank you very much.

Hi
Account Group Controls the Master records. It controls the number range of Master record and Field status group (Supress, Required, Optional and Display) also. SAP follows a Grouping principle all throughout SAP to handle the Master Records that may be in GL, AR AP any thing. See to create a GL Account group you define at OBD4 there itself you assign the Number Range or those groups which also controls Field Staus of GL Master Records. And for Creating AR and AP Master Records you create at OBD2 and Vendor at OBD3 which will also controls Field Status Group of And Number range of Master record. The only difference between GL and AR/AP is assigning of number range. For GL will specify at OBD4 itself but for AR/AP we need to create a number range at FBN1 then assign to AR And AP at OBD2 and OBD3 respectively.
One more thing. Remember only Field Status group of Master recard (OBD2, OBD3, OBD4) only contain Display option but not to Posting Key or Field Satus Group (OB41 or OBC4). I am so specifing becoz I commited this mistake in one interview.
In summary, the account group controls:
i) The number ranges of the accounts,
ii) The status of the fields in the company code segment of the master record. Since a chart of accounts contains many different types of accounts, they can be bundled into different "account groups ". Usually one account group bundles
accounts with the same tasks within the general ledger, e. g. cash accounts, material accounts, asset accounts, profit and loss
accounts,...

OMJJ - Account grouping - Add mvt type indicator L

Hi
Pertinent to; The account grouping in movement type for 101.
For the STO I have enabled the Goods Recipet using MIGO and mvt type is 101. But the Reference document would be Outbound delivery instead the STO purchase order.
Now the issue is after GR the Stock account is not debited as the movement type is not configured for Outbound delivery based GR. How do i add the movement type indicator "L" Goods movement for delivery note in OMJJ-Account grouping ?
Currently only for F & B not for L.
Thanks in advance
Regards
RG

Hi,
The Process flow is Stock Transport Order --> Outbound Delivery --> Goods Receipt
So Outbound Delivery has a link with Stock Transport Order i.e. Receipt Indicator "B" so during GR against OBD it will consider B, no need of maintaining L and also it is not possible.

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

Relationship between "Account Group" and "GL Acct. number".

I need to create a report that lists the GL Account numbers according to selection screen parameter "Account Group" .
Hi i need to find a way\(tables and fields) between the "Account Group" and
the "GL Account number".
to view "Account Group" go to transaction "kdh3".
to view GL account number go to transaction FS00.
the GL account numbers and cost centers are identified by the same number.

Hi guys, thanks for helping
Max, i tried that field, but it provides a different set of data compared to the account groups i get using the "F4" on KDH3
Chandrasekhar, i had a look at the view, but it also does not contain the same account groups as found in KDH3.
I have been stuck on this for a while.
thanks again

Vendor/Customer Account Group and Master Records

Hi Gurus,
Please tell me during implementation Vendor/Customer account groups and Master Records will be prepared by FI Consultants or MM, SD Consultants?
Waiting for reply
ThankYOu

Dear Verma
It is the usual practice that FI consultants should prepare Account group and also maintain General data and Company code date in Vendor/Customer masters. SD and MM consultants are informed by FI to maintain Sales and Purchase organization respectively by SD and MM consultants.
If this helps please reward with points.

Difference in P.account groups and Payer

what is the difference between Payer account groups and a payer?
Plz explain.
Thanks

A Payer is the individual or company who settles the invoices foa a service or for delivered goods.
Whereas the account group determines:
Which screens and fields are necessary for entering master data
Whether you can or must make an entry in these fields
How master record numbers are assigned (externally by you or internally by the system) and the number range from which they are assigned
Which partner functions are valid
Whether the business partner is a one-time customer or one-time vendor.
Reward if useful.

Restrict creation of customers according to account group and sales area.

Hey Guys,
I have this scenario wherein we have to restrict the creation of customers according to the sales area and account group. Here is an example.
Suppose I have a domestic customer say D01. Account group that I am using for this domestic customer is D001. Sales area is say D001/D1/D1. Now for exports I have E01 as customer. Account group is E001. Sales area is E001/E1/E1.
Scenario is
I should be able to create D01 only with account group D001 and in sales area D001/D1/D1. Customer D01 should not get created in account group E001 and sales area E001/E1/E1. Now to differentiate export and domestic customers we are using 'D' as a prefix for domestic customers and 'E' for export customers.
Same thing applies for Exports. Customer E01 should only get created with account group E001 and sales area E001/E1/E1.
Please advise on the same.
Appreciate a quick response.
Thanks in advance.

Account Group and Vendor

I created account group and assgn number and tried to creat Vendor, but system is asking for partner number.
thanks

Hi Shahid
The problem you are encountering could be for teh fact that the number range assigned to the account group is external and hence the system is prompting to assign a partner number
The account group is a classifying feature within vendor master records
The account group determines:
o the number interval for the account number of the vendor,
o whether the number is assigned by the user or by the system,

Difference between "account group" and "reconciliation account"

Hello,
I am new to SAP and I would like to understand the difference between the "account group" and the "reconciliation account" that appear both in the vendor master records.
From what I read, "account group" is just a classification but has no "accounting" impact whereas "reconciliation account" (goods suppliers, overhead expenses suppliers...) do have an accounting impact.
However I am not sure so I would like a confirmation on that and if possible examples so I could really understand.
Thank you.

Hi,
The account group is a way to divide vendors into groups for reporting later on.
The account group is also the link to the number range and the field selection functionality.
Please refer the below link for more clarity.

Account group
The reconciliation account is the account is the account which is posted to at invoice receipt stage where the vendor account represents the sub ledger and the reconcilation account the ledger.

LSO- Course Groups and Course Types are not displayed in Spanish

We are having issues with the
data like Course Groups and Course Types not being displayed in
Spanish on the Learning Iview.
The Data in the Course Catalog is loaded in Spanish and
English and I can see the Course Catalog in Spanish when logging on in Spanish in the back end.
SAP asked us to apply few notes as below
#1247020 OTR: Texts are not transported
#448220 OTR: Text is not determined/incorrect text is displayed
We have applied the above as well and we had no solution.
However the Problem is NOT related to Texts/Labels as these are displayed in Spanish.
The Problem is related to the data like Course Groups and Course types not being displayed in Spanish in the front end.
SAP also came up with the below which did not help either.
The system will pick the language texts in the sequence
maintained in the view T778L. If the system does not find text in
login langauge , the application will search in the sequence
maintained in the view T778L .Therefore you can change the sequence
of the languages in the above view as per your requirement.
Let me know if anyone has a solution to this or has encountered the same problem.

Is this production or is this in a development system? The dropdown displayed comes from the standard tables. If it's working in development system and not in production, then the chances are higher that the translation didn't go through.

"Accounting-Start" and "Accounting-Stop" with same "user name" and "session Id" recorded in different RADIUS servers.

Hi,
I have questions about "Accounting-Start" and "Accounting-Stop".
1.If a NAS configured to have a primary and a backup RADIUS server. To start with all the “Accounting-Start” records will be in the primary RADIUS server. Later on the primary server goes down (Primary server won’t tell the NAS?). When sessions stop, the NAS sends the “Accounting-Stop” to the secondary. I understand the “Start-Stop” record with the same “user name” and “session-id” ideally should be recorded in the same server. If this situation happens what should both the NAS and RADIUS server do?
2.A NAS configured to have a primary and backup RADIUS server. To start with all the “Accounting-Start” records will be in the primary RADIUS server. Later on the administrator decided to change the primary server (as there are problems with the previous primary). sessions stop, the NAS sends the “Accounting-Stop” to the new primary. This ends up the “Accounting-Start” and “Accounting-Stop” with the same “user name” and “session Id” in two RADIUS servers.
To summarize, how to avoid the ”start-stop” pair ends up in different servers ? If it does, is it an issue for RADIUS application ?
Cheers,

vignesh and BalusC,
following is the code in front controller's doFilter method. is this not thread safe?
        HttpServletRequest req = (HttpServletRequest) request;
        HttpServletResponse res = (HttpServletResponse) response;
        HttpSession session = req.getSession();
        somepackage.User user;
        if(session.getAttribute("user") == null){
            user = new somepackage.User();
            session.setAttribute("user", user);
        }else{
            user = (somepackage.User) session.getAttribute("user");
        }user object maintains all information about a user. if it is in session scope, everything should work fine.
another observation is after some time of usage, both people in different systems are getting same session.getId()
in my logout page i am using
session.invalidate();
thanks,
