Chart of accounts in valuation and account assignment

Hello,
Pls, someone advise, I want to make valuation at plant level, but I want in transaction obyc (configure automatic posting) to have option of entering valuation at plant, meaning that I want to enter plant, valuation class, than number of accounts (debit, credit).
And want to have option to enter it for every plant.
Pls, can it and how it can be done?
thanks in advance

<b><i>"but the problem is that I want to have different account for every plant, not only for valuation class but also for plant and valuation class."</i></b>
Under the same chart of account you can assign different G/L account for different plant (Valuation area) using the valuation grouping code (VGC).
The baseline for account determination is
Chart of account --> Tran Event Key --> Val Group code --> A/c modifier key --> Valuation class -> G/L account
- It will identify the chart of account based on plant which is used in the transaction. (Plant is assigned to company code and company code uses chart of account)
- Mvt type will identify the tran event key
- Valuation grouping code will be identified by plant (Plant = val area (if valuation level is at plant level) and valuation area is grouped in T-code OMWD)
- A/c modifier key will be identified from mvt type (for tran event key GBB, PRD, KON)
- Valuation class is identified from material or material group.
Based on the above combination G/L account will be identified for the transaction.
Hope this will help.

Hi,
1. chart of accounts--> common set of accounts.
2. Group of acts--> group chart of acts.
Generally we use common set of acts.
For common set of A/c-->OB13.
For A/C groups>OBD4>new entries> give your chart of A/C, A/C group, name, from A/C and to A/c> SAVE.

Hello,
Chart of Account is a list of GL accounts. One COA can be assigned to n no of co codes. SAP has provided 3 types of COA. 1.Operate COA 2.Country COA 3. Group COA.
After created COA you should assign in the following path:
Spro>FA>GL a/cing>GL a/cs>Master data>Preparations>Assign co code to COA.
In OB62, you have the option assign co code to country COA.
In your case, you please assign ur COA-NCCA to your co code in the above mentioned path.

About automatic account assignment

hi,
in one interview i faced a question ie: what are the sequencial steps involved in configur automatic account assignment?
can i get a answer from seniors

Configure automatic postings
In this step, you enter the system settings for Inventory Management and
    Invoice Verification transactions for automatic postings to G/L accounts.
You can then check your settings using a simulation function.
Under Further information there is a list of transactions in Materials
    Management and their definitions.
What are automatic postings?
Postings are made to G/L accounts automatically in the case of Invoice
    Verification and Inventory Management transactions relevant to Financial
    and Cost Accounting.
Example:
Posting lines are created in the following accounts in the case of a
    goods issue for a cost center:
    o Stock account
    o Consumption account
How does the system find the relevant accounts?
When entering the goods movement, the user does not have to enter a G/L
    account, since the R/3 System automatically finds the accounts to which
    postings are to be made using the following data:
    o Chart of accounts of the company code
       If the user enters a company code or a plant when entering a
       transaction, the R/3 System determines the chart of accounts which is
       valid for the company code.
       You must define the automatic account determination individually for
       each chart of accounts.
    o Valuation grouping code of the valuation area
       If the automatic account determination within a chart of accounts is
       to run differently for certain company codes or plants (valuation
       areas), assign different valuation grouping codes to these valuation
       areas.
You must define the automatic account determination individually for
       every valuation grouping code within a chart of accounts. It applies
       to all valuation areas which are assigned to this valuation grouping
       code.
If the user enters a company code or a plant when entering a
       transaction, the system determines the valuation area and the
       valuation grouping code.
    o Transaction/event key (internal processing key)
       Posting transactions are predefined for those inventory management and
       invoice verification transactions relevant to accounting. Posting
       records, which are generalized in the value string, are assigned to
       each relevant movement type in inventory management and each
       transaction in invoice verification. These contain keys for the
       relevant posting transaction (for example, inventory posting and
Transaction/event key (internal processing key)
Posting transactions are predefined for those inventory management and
invoice verification transactions relevant to accounting. Posting
records, which are generalized in the value string, are assigned to
each relevant movement type in inventory management and each
transaction in invoice verification. These contain keys for the
relevant posting transaction (for example, inventory posting and
consumption posting) instead of actual G/L account numbers.
You do not have to define these transaction keys, they are determined
automatically from the transaction (invoice verification) or the
movement type (inventory management). All you have to do is assign the
relevant G/L account to each posting transaction.
Account grouping (only for offsetting entries, consignment
liabilities, and price differences)
Since the posting transaction "Offsetting entry for inventory posting"
is used for different transactions (for example, goods issue,
scrapping, physical inventory), which are assigned to different
accounts (for example, consumption account, scrapping, expense/income
from inventory differences), it is necessary to divide the posting
transaction according to a further key: account grouping code.
An account grouping is assigned to each movement type in inventory
management which uses the posting transaction "Offsetting entry for
inventory posting".
Under the posting transaction "Offsetting entry for inventory
posting", you must assign G/L accounts for every account grouping,
that is, assign G/L accounts.
If you wish to post price differences to different price difference
accounts in the case of goods receipts for purchase orders, goods
receipts for orders, or other movements, you can define different
account grouping codes for the transaction key.
Using the account grouping, you can also have different accounts for
consignment liabilities and pipeline liabilities.
Valuation class of material or (in case of split valuation) the
valuation type
The valuation class allows you to define automatic account
determination that is dependent on the material. for example: you post
a goods receipt of a raw material to a different stock account than if
the goods receipt were for trading goods, even though the user enters
the same transaction for both materials.
You can achieve this by assigning different valuation classes to the
materials and by assigning different G/L accounts to the posting
transaction for every valuation class.
If you do not want to differentiate according to valuation classes you
do not have to maintain a valuation class for a transaction.
   Before you maintain automatic postings, you must obtain the following
   information:
1. Valuation level (plant or company code)
      Establish whether the materials are valuated at plant or at company
      code level
When valuation is at plant level, the valuation area corresponds to a
      plant.
When valuation is at company code level, the valuation area
      corresponds to a company code.
      Define valuation level
2. Chart of accounts and valuation grouping code per valuation area
      Find out whether the valuation grouping code is active.
      Activate split valuation
      If it is not active, determine the chart of accounts assigned to each
      valuation area (via the company code).
      If it is active, determine the chart of accounts and the valuation
      grouping code assigned to each valuation area.
      Group valuation areas
You must define a separate account determination process for chart of
      accounts and each valuation grouping code.
3. Valuation class per material type
      If you wish to differentiate the account determination process for
      specific transactions according to valuation classes, find out which
      valuation classes are possible for each material type.
      Define valuation classes
4. Account grouping for offsetting entries to stock accounts
      Under Define account grouping for movement types, determine for which
      movement types an account grouping is defined for the
      transaction/event keys GGB (offsetting entry to stock posting), KON
      (consignment liabilities) and PRD (price differences).
Default settings
G/L account assignments for the charts of accounts INT and the valuation
   grouping code 0001 are SAP standard.

Chart of accounts

Hi,
While creating PO, i'm getting following error.
Define a chart of accounts first for company code MP00
kindly give the menu path for the same.

Hello,
A chart of account is nothing but a list containing all the G/L accounts. Every company code should be assigned to a chart of account.
ie for us to use a G/L account in a company code, it should be there in the chart of account assigned for that company code.
Chart of account creation and assignment of it to the company code is done by FI people. It is better to consult with your FI person for the same.
The steps are :
SPRO - Financial accounting - G/L accounting - GL accounts - Master records - Preprations - Edit chart of accounts list - T.Code : OB13
SPRO - Financial accounting - G/L accounting - GL accounts - Master records - Preparations - assign company code to chart of accounts T.Code : OB62.

Account numbers with unassigned Chart of accounts

Hi..
Records for the cube are coming from R/3 via a program into a table. BW loads the data from the table. In the table there are some records for an account number 40200 which is assigned to Chart of Accounts and some records for the same account number 40200 which is not assigned to Chart of Accounts.
The data was loaded into BW. Now the query shows two records for the same account number.
I want to assign the Chart of accounts to the unassigned ones, in BW, so that the query shows only one record.
Is there a way to fix this issue in BW? Do I need to write some transfer routine?
Thanks,
Sai.

Thanks for the reply. I already tried this out. In the scheduler selection, for the datasource - 0account_text, text attribute for account, I gave in the account number with no selection in chart of accounts and scheduled the package.
It is bringing the texts only for the account number which has chart of accounts assigned to it, not for unassigned ones.
any more suggestions?
thanks...sai.

Alternate Chart of accounts

Hi SAP Gurus,
In a productions environment, we have a requirement as follows:
For the company code in Spain as per the new legal requirement, we need to change the alternate chart of accounts.
The client has many company codes and use Group chart of accounts also.
Is there any specific SAP patch available for this ?

Hi Suresh,
you mean the country chart of accounts assigned to the company code in field T001-KTOP2 (not to mix up with the operational CoA T001-KTOPL).
If you are using a country CoA, field SKB1-ALKT alternative account number in the GL account master record is checked against that CoA. If you want to change it, you may have a current country CoA with plenty of GL accounts, assigned to your operational accounts.
To change the country CoA is an easy task in transaction OBY6. (first you have to create the new CoA, specify at least 1 account group and a retained earnings account for the start).
Then you have to create new accounts in your new CoA (FSP0 only, no FS00 or FSS0).
Finally, and this is the main point, you have to change the current assignments. The issue is that if your have a country CoA assigned to the company code, a change of the alternative account is only possible if the account has no balance. To remove the current balance to another GL and reverse this afterwards is not so easy for some type of accounts (post automatically only, reconciliation accounts, etc.) So you have 2 options for this change:
1. Write a custom ABAP which will update your SKB1 records without checking the balance.
2. Create the country CoA but do NOT assign it to your company code yet. (Remove any existing assignment). Now you can do a mass change using transaction MASS or manually account by account, regardless of the balance. Make sure you enter alternative accounts only that are created in the country CoA.
3. Finally, assign the country CoA to the company code.
After this, the line items posted before the change are not in sync with the master record's alternative accounts (BSEG-LOKKT <> SKB1-ALTKT), but as most standard reports are reading the CURRENT alternative accounts from the master records anyway, that should not be a problem.
Hope that helps, points welcome

PO with Account Assignment P and NON Valuated Material

Hi ,
As per my undersatnding if I create a PO with Account Assignment "P" , system consumes it immediately and stock doesn;t get updated in any storage location.
But
If I use Account Assignment "P" with "NON valuated" stock , system is asking for Slocation at the time of MIGO and also updates Qtys in Storage location , although cost is being booked to consumption account.
Could u pls help to understand the logic for this ?
Regards
Shrey

Hi,
PLease read this para from SAP help .. it is useful to undestand your scenarion
Goods Receipt of Non-Valuated Materials
Use
If the stock of a given material is only managed on a quantity basis, an account assignment must be defined in the purchase order. However, this account assignment does not result in the goods receipt being posted to consumption/usage. Instead, it results in the costs being debited to the account assignment object.
The goods receipt is posted to the warehouse stock, thus increasing the unrestricted-use stock of the material.
*It is not possible to post goods receipts of non-valuated materials directly into consumption/usage. You have to post the goods receipt into the warehouse first and then enter a goods issue.*

OBYC Valuation and account assignment

Hi,
when I create a purchase order for a material, system doesn't propose automatically the g.l. account (Purchasing account, EIN) that has been set in OBYC.
I had a look in material master and the material has a valuation class assigned.
I checked in trx OBYC and there are Valuation modification, Valuation class, Debit and Credit assigned but g.l. account won't appear and the only way is to set manually the g.l. account
Best Regards

Hi sappione,
EIN is only when you are using Purchasing Account Management (I used this in France):
Information from SAP
Purchase account(EIN), purchase offsetting account (EKG), freight
purchase account (FRE)
These transactions are used only if Purchase Account Management is
active in the company code.
Note
Due to special legal requirements, this function was developed
specially for certain countries (Belgium, Spain, Portugal, France,
Italy, and Finland).
Before you use this function, check whether you need to use it in
your country.
Did you have customised this part?
SPRO > Materials Management > Valuation and Account Assignment > Account Determination > Account Determination Without Wizard > Purchase Account Management
But, I presume that you want to post the GR and the system is asking you for EIN.
It is because of the PO does not have assigned a G/L account into the item (check Account Assignment tab).
If you want that the G/L account can be determined in automatic, then, go to SPRO > Materials Management > Purchasing > Account Assignment > Maintain Account Assignment Categories.
There, make double click on "K - Cost center".
Afterwards, define a value in "Acct modification" i.e. VBR.
Then, create a PO and the G/L account will be determined in automatic.
Another possible solution is that you can define a valuation class by Material group (for the cases where you are asking for a Po without material codes). It can be done by SPRO > Materials Management > Purchasing > Material Master > Entry Aids for Items Without a Material Master.
There, you can define a valuation class for a Material group and once you create the PO, the G/L account will be determined according to this valuation class.
I hope this information can be useful.
Kind regards,
Sandra

G/l account not assigned to chart of account

Hi all,
While GR I am getting an error message.

The particular G/l Acct is not created in the company code.
I have tried to create that G/l Acct using T.Co. FS00 but in vain. Because some error occurring.
So how to create G/l acct for that mat type and how to assign that to the chart of accts
Thanks in advance

Valuation and Account Determination...

Hello,
Can anyone help me to get some of the functional implementing questions on "Valuation and Account Determinationa" ....
Thanks
Priyanka

Hi,
In SAP every movement of goods is followed by one movement type and movement type trigged transaction event keys. G/L account assignment and G/L account assigned to transaction event key (OBYC). GR & IR will updated by movement of goods only. In Account Determination, respective G/L accounts assigned to your chart of account,relevant to business transactions keys(Example:BSX,PRD,FRE,GBB),Account modifier(Example:BSA,VBR) and Valaution Calsss.If all are assigned then you would not face any problems during your posting of GR,IR etc..........
Configuration of Automatic Account Determination with T.Code are as follow:
1.OMSK: valuation Class with Account category reference,
2.OMWM: Active Valuation Grouping Code,
3.OMWN: Active Movement type with G/L account,
4.OMWD: Active Valuation Area,
5.OMWB: Active Chart of account,Valuation Grouping Code,Account Grouping Code,Valuation Class and G/L acocounts
In OMWB or OBYC
Click TE key and enter Chart of account and then save the Roles 1st for
1.Debit/Credit
2.General modification
3.Valuation Modif
4.Vakuation class
And then enter respective critetia for that TE key and save.
If assignment(Chart of account,Valuation Grouping Code,Account Grouping Code,Valuation Class and G/L acocounts are correct and u would not face any problems in G/GI/IV.
