Hi Nandini,
G/L a/c is decided not only by Movement type, but also material master/plant/type of transaction(transaction key).  Movement type in OMJJ is contains transaction key / Account modifier which is the link for GL a/c.
In material master we maintain valuation class.  Hence when we do let us say GR for Purchase order(101), the G/L account is decided as below:
Let us say movement type 101
Account modifier = space
Check in OBYC
As you are aware for any transaction there will be +ve and -V entry in GL a/c
Which a/c has to be -ve and which has to be + is decided by posting key depending on transaction.  Hence When we do GR...Stock a/c will be +, GR/IR will be -Ve and any price difference(if price control is -S) will be posted to price difference account.
Inventory posting is done through BSX
Price difference will goto PRD
GR/IR will goto WRX
In OBYC, check the transaction BSX, for a given Chart of A/c, for a given valuation modifier(it is nothing but plant grouping) and valuation class, you can see the G/L account. This data is available in table T030
You can see the posting key for debit and cr. That means when we do 101, then Stock will be credited and that posting key is used, if you do reverse GR-102, then same stock a/c will get debited with that posting key
For the transaction PRD, you will get addition to the above, one more column General modifier, this is nothing but the account modifier in OMJJ for that movement type, i.e. Same transaction i.e. GR, if i define a different account modifier, I can change the G/L account so that new movement type PRD (variance) can be collected at different G/L account.
Like that WRX, in which it is maintained at client level no a/c modifier, no valuation class etc...that means GR/IR account determination will not depend on movement type/material/plant etc.
