SAP MM

Hi,
Account key
Account key is mainly used for Frieghts.Account key enables amount to post to certain revenue accounts, for example freight charges. When you add freight related condition types, it will be added to separate G/L accounts, means this will not be added to material price.
Accruals key:
Accruals mean accumulating,with the addition of the account key, the system can post amounts to certain types of accruals accounts. For example, rebate accruals which are calculated from pricing conditions can be posted to the corresponding account for rebate accruals.
Hope it will helpful and then reward.

Enquiry for the accruals key in pricing procedure

Dear Experts,
1) My question is this that, what is the significance of 'Accrual' key in pricing procedure? & why accruals are only used for rebates?
2) what is the name of a/c where the posting of invoice is done or in other words after the invoicing which a/c is maintained from FI perspective?
Thanks & regards,
M.S.Kumar

Hi,
The accrual keys form part of account determination. These keys are used here to define the posting of the revenue
generated to respective account heads& to subsequent assignment to GL accounts and payment to respective
parties.
The accural key in pricing procedure is used for accumulating the values.
For example we if think that the freight charges which must be paid to the vendor for every invoice must be paid later.Then the freight charges for that vendor for a period of lets say 3 months will get accumulated in a key(Accural)for all the invoices in that period.further this key is linked to a GL account.so at the end of a period they will settle the amount to the vendor.
Main difference is account key posts into revenue account or consumption account,
Accrual key posts into a Accrual account.
Accrual entry is passed when cost or revenue are accured but not paid or billed (Surity of the transaction) like rent, salary.

- I see that sometimes there are entries for "account key" and "accruals", what is the meaning and effect for postings

Hi,
Please Note the following in Pricing Procedure:
Account Key: It posts the G/L as assigned for Income or expenditure i.e. For Revenues from sales / Income (PR00, EK01 etc) we assign the condition types to u201CERLu201D and for Expense or spot discounts (K005, KA00) etc. we can use u201CERSu201D
As far as Accruals are concerned, they are provisions in accounts to be reimbursed or adjusted at a later stage or at the end of a period I.e. for u201CREBATE-SALESu201D we can use u201CERUu201D. (I.e. Customer rebate - B003 etc.)
Further please use help in SAP and explore, while doing transactions.
Hope the concept is clear

Determination of Pricing Procedure in SRM

Hi all,
I have worked on IPC CRM 4.0 and I know the settings related to Pricing. Now, in <b>SAP SRM 4.0</b>, I am not able to figure out on what key fields Pricing Procedure is determined and where are the corresponding settings in SPRO.
Please Help!!
Thanks in Advance,,,

Hello Vangala,
I have gone through the above settings again, but there is no settings given for Determination of Pricing Procedure. Can you please be more specific.
Few more doubts:
1. What are the key fields on which Pricing Procedure is determined?
2. I am able to see only one Pricing procedure in SPRO->Supplier Relationship Management->SRM Server->Cross-Application Basic Settings->Pricing->Edit Calculation Schema; Is there any way through which I can view multiple Pricing Procedures.
Waiting for ur response.

Accounting Key & Accruals Key in Calculation Schema (Pricing Procedure)

hi
AcyKy - Account Key/ Accrls - Accruals:
for SD module
u2022     The values of the Sales Revenues, Sales Deductions, Freight Revenues, Tax Revenues, and Rebate Accruals etc. are going to be posted in the respective G/L accounts in Fi Module.
u2022     In order to do this we assign account keys/ accruals to the different condition types based on their classification. The classification shown below.
o     ERB Rebate sales deduct.
o     ERF Freight revenue
o     ERL Revenue
o     ERS Sales deductions
o     ERU Rebate accruals
u2022     For Ex.,
o     For all Price condition types like PR00 etc. we assign ERL - Revenue.
o     For all Discount condition types like K004, K005 etc. we assign ERS - Sales Deductions.
o     For all Freight condition types KF00 etc. we assign ERF - Freight Revenues.
o     For all Rebates condition types BO01 to BO05 we assign in Account key ERB - Rebates Sales deductions and for Accruals ERU - Rebate Accruals.
u2022     This account keys and accruals are in turn assigned to respective G/L accounts. So the system posts respective values in respective G/L accounts in Fi-Co Module.
u2022     This also one of the areas of SD - Fi Integration. SD consultants assign the account keys and Fi Consultants assign the respective G/L accounts in T.Code:VKOA.
Similarly for MM Module
Account keys are EIN, FR1, FR2, FR3, FRE, etc...
And in OBYC, we do necessary account determination for the same.
For e.g. Freight Posting in GR
Condition type FRA1, Accrual FR1 and in OBYC, assign Freight Clearing A/c to FR1
During GR;
Stock Account - Dr - 110 INR
GR/IR Clearing A/c - Cr - 100 INR
Freight Clearing A/c - Cr - 10 INR
transaction event key is the Key that identifies different types of G/L account.
The account key enables the system to post amounts to certain types of
revenue account. For example, the system can post freight charges
(generated by the freight pricing condition) to the relevant freight
revenue account.
use
To enable the system to find the relevant account for provisions (for
accrued delivery costs or miscellaneous provisions, for example), you
must assign a transaction/event (internal processing) key to each
condition type that is relevant to provisions in the step Define
Calculation Schema.
if u search on SDN or GOOGLE u will get many threads for this
hope it helps

Pricing Procedure - Account Key & Accrls - Accruals configuration

Hi guys ,
I have question about these two config settigs for pricing procedure.
1 AccKey - Account Key
2 Accruals
Standard system has some GL accounts, such as ERB,ERF,ERL,etc .
If we need to have specific GL accounts for example, vendor discount,fuel surcharge we need to cofigure them and add them in pricing procedure.
I was wondering , who would be the functional group to configure those GL accounts, FICO or SD ?
Where can see the config of GL accounts ?
Thanks
Dona

Hi Done,
As per my under stand ERL, ERF and ERS are account keys not G/L accounts.
These account keys are assigned to particular G/L accounts so that integration will happend between SD and FI.
U can define ur own account keys as per client requirement. This account keys are defined by SD cunsultants.
menu path for define account keys:IMG- sales and Distribution- basic function- pricing - account assignment and costing- revenue account determination and difine and assign account key.
here u can define and assign account keys.
Hope this will helps u.
Thanks & Regards

Accruals in pricing procedure

in pricing procedure for import, for freight and insurance condition type our company only maintained accrual key not maintained account key, but from some docs i know only with the help of account key we post the certain amount to accruals account, so how could we maiantain only accrual key?

Hi Nitin,
Well account key is only of use if purchase offset account in active at your company code, Otherwise if its not active accrual key is only of use. Basically account key is used with purchase offset account which is legaly required in countries like spain or some other europe regions.
And accrual key you can maintain in following Path
IMG--> Material Management --> Purchasing -->Conditions --> Define price determination process --> Define transaction keys/ events.
and accounts to these accrual keys are defined in t code OBYC.
I hope now you would have got clear picture of your problem

Tax Condition type : Account keys in SD Pricing procedure .

Dear SAP Gurus,
In the configuration of the taxes (Service, Ecess & H & Ecess)
The tax codes are defiined and the condition type JXX has been defined with the account keys .
Then the taxes are automatically posted to the accounts .
But in the SD pricing procedue for the same condition type the account key defined is EXD .
But where is this account key going to post the value of the condition type JXX ..
Please explain the use of the account key in the Tax Conditon types in the pricing procedure.
regards,
Amlan Sarkar.

Hi,
The account keys ERL , ERS, DIFF which are related to revenue and sales deduction in your pricing procedure are defined in transaction VKOA. Here the account key, chart of accounts, your sales organization and G/L accnt combination are maintained.
Whereas all the tax codes G/L accounts get picked from transaction OB40 , So in your pricing procedure where ever you see tax account keys, make sure you go to OB40, input your tax code and then you will see all the G/L accounts against each respective account key. This is nothing but the calculation of tax on sales / purchases.
Hope this will solve your query.
If it does, please dont forget to reward points for contribution.

Hi,
Following write up is going to help you.
Accrual Types
Definition
The accrual type controls the calculation and posting of accruals according to different business views. It defines how the accruals are calculated and posted.
The accrual type sorts the accruals, for example, by:
Costs
Revenues
Receivables
Use
You use the accrual type to control which types of posting are performed for an accrual item. You can assign all postings defined to an accrual type, or only individual postings:
Opening posting
The entire amount to be accrued is posted as a balance posting. Account determination is normally set so that the entire amount to be accrued is posted to an accruals account.
Periodic posting
The total amount to be accrued is split over the individual periods according to the accrual method concerned. When you perform an accrual run in a period, the accrual amount for that period is posted. Account determination is normally set so that the periodic postings are from the accruals account to a profit and loss account.
Closing posting
A closing posting only occurs when you deactivate an accrual object prematurely. The amount that has not been accrued by the time of the premature deactivation is posted as the deactivation amount.
Structure
The following accrual types exist:
Simple accrual type
With this accrual type, you define the view under which the accruals are made, and which postings are performed.
Derived accrual type
This accrual type is derived from other accrual types, for example, as the total or difference from other accrual types. You define a derived accrual type in Customizing for Financial Accounting under Financial Accounting Global Settings ® Accrual Engine ® Basic Settings ® Accrual Types ® Derived Accrual Types
