Hi,
Another way is to use the valuation class in material master MM01 (ACCOUNTING TAB) because,
The valuation class has the following functions:
Allows the stock values of materials of the same material type to be posted to different G/L accounts.
Allows the stock values of materials of different material types to be posted to the same G/L account.
Determines together with other factors the G/L accounts updated for a valuation-relevant transaction (such as a goods movement).
OR
use following path
IMG - Materials Mgmt - Valuation & account Asignment - Account determination - Account determination wizard.
Here you please take the help of MM Consultant and assign your G/L account to particular material type
e.g - Spare part (ERSA)

Rip

For G/L account kindly consult your FI/CO person and if you have specified the valuation class correctly in the material master then there will no need to specify the G/L account for the same
kindly consult with MM person also

Hiya,
Assume you changed the price on Day 5. Depending on how you define your condition type, it may read the price from the previos document, which is the Sales Order (defined in the copy control VT** transactions - ask your SD consultant) or the Pricing Procedure directly.
If billing happens after price change, and you want it to read the new price, you can force an "Update" and use Option B to recalculate prices.
Now use the Matl Type characteristic (HAWA) in COPA to read the Profit/Loss.
Post back if this doesn't answer your question.
Cheers.
