Intercompany Goods Movement Account Determination

Hi,
I'm wondering how to meet a business requirement relating to intercompany FI postings.
We use the NB stock transport order to transfer materials between plants in different company codes. For this order type, SAP uses movement type 643 for the shipment and movement type 101 for the goods receipt.
The requirements are:
1) we would like to use the same FI account as offset for shipment as the receipt
2) the account should not be the vendor Purchase Price Variance (PPV) account; otherwise it would be too difficult to analyze this account.
The account determination for the 643 is determined in GBB VAX; and the account determination for the 101 is in PRD (no modifier). However this is the same account determination as Purchase Price Variance (PPV).
Aside from creating a new movement type for the goods receipt, is there any way to achieve the required FI Postings?
Thanks -- points to be awarded for a good solution.

Dear Dan
Yes this is achievable. But instead of changing the standard feature, you better copy the standard 643 and create a new movement type.
For that go to OMJJ, select Movement Type, input 643 and execute. You can see some tabs to your left screen where you double click on [Account Grouping] so that a screen will open where you can modify the Account Grouping under the tab Account Modification. Change it to required Account Group and save.
Now try your process from begining and check the FI impact. All these changes have to be tested thoroughly in development, get the concurrence from FI people and then transport to production.

Hello MA,
The intercompany PO we create is at a $0.00 price. We also uncheck the IR box on the PO, as we do not expect a vendor invoice from the receipt.
The WRX T/E key controls the GR/IR account; we do not want to change this account because we still want receipts against external vendor POs to post there. Also, since the IR box is unchecked, SAP will not make a posting to the WRX account (GR/IR).
We want the difference between standard and PO price (which always equals standard price because the PO price is $0.00) to post to the same account as the PGI posting. However we do not want this posting to go to our vendor PPV account, which is configured in PRD.
Hope this clarifies for you.
Thanks,
Dan

Goods movement accounting in Cross Company Code Sales

Hi everybody,
I´m implementing cross company code sales and i have a question about the goods movement accounting in the selling company.
In the process, the goods are delivered directly to the final customer by the delivering company. These goods never enter to the selling company ( no goods receipt), but the selling company receives the internal billing document for the delivered goods.
Despite the real physical good movement, i need to registrate the goods purchasing in accounting as if goods receipt/issue had taken place in the selling company, because it sells the goods like if they belong to itself.
I ´m not sure if this is possible, i´m near to think that it isn´t, but if anyone knows something....
Thanks very much
Gustavo

Dear Gustavo

Cost of Goods Sold account determination by customer type (inter-company)

We have a business need to separate the the cost of goods sold be customer type. Specifically separating the inter-company cost of goods sold from the 3rd party cost of goods sold.
The standard COGS account determination in GBB/VAX only allows for differentiating between material valuation class.
Has anyone attempted this before and what method worked?

For those who may need an answer to this, our solution was the following:
1)       Created new types for SO, SO Item, Sched. Line, Delivery, Delivery Item, Billing type
2)       Created new Pricing procedure
3)       Created new movement type Y61/Y62 modeled after 601/602
4)       Mapped Y61/Y62 to account modifier ZAX.
5)       Mapped GBB/ZAX to the new account.
Benefits, they now have better view of the orders going inter-company. It is flexible enough to adjusting prices for intercompany separate from standard orders, even though for now it is a straight copy of cost. They are able to remove the sales/use tax, from the calculations. They are able to plan with these orders separated out. Plus, this will standardize their process for inter-company.
Hope this helps someone.
Cheers!

Intercompany stock transfer account determination - 601 & 643

Hi experts
We have intercompany stock transfer scenarios - as well as normal issuance of stock for normal business activity. For both scenarios, the system
                  Dr 730000 (Cost of Goods Sold)
                       Cr Stock
This is fine for normal trade(Movt type 601)- but for intercomapny stock transfer (Movt Type 643), we do not want to Dr Cost of Goods Sold but rather another account (say 731234).
So for movt Typ 643 we want to achieve
                      Dr 731234
                         Cr stock
How can we achieve this in OMJJ/OBYC please?
Thanks

Hi
Have you assigned account 731234 for movement type 643 in OBYC?? You can use the account modifier field under account grouping in OMJJ and the same in OBYC for the relevant transactions.

You cannot assign this transaction/event key to an account. It means that the account assignment is adopted from the purchase order and is used for the purpose of determining the posting keys for the goods receipt.

Account Determination Error When Posting Goods Issue Against Sales Order

Hello SAP Experts,
We are currently experiencing a problem during goods issueance against sales order (VL02N). The system terminates the issueance and gives error:
"Account XXXXXX requires an assignment to a CO object".
We have tried maintaining the GL account in OKB9 and assign a default profit center there but i didn't work. The material master also contains the profit center. We were only able to post the transaction if we try to default the a cost center in FS00. However we dont want to assign a default cost center as cost centers differ by plant. We are wondering why it asks the cost center considering that it already contains the sales order assignment. We checked the field selection of the GL account, movement type and even the posting key and all showed that the cost center is not required. We are now in a dead end situation here. Please please help us.
Thanks in advance!

Dear,
Message no. KI235?
GO TO T-CODE FS00 AND EDIT COST ELEMENT AND THEN YOU ASSIGN COST CENTER
Please check this link,

Goods movement (movement type 601), Assign GL account

When you craete an outbound delivery (picking, packing & goods issue), it creates an Financial document (the goods issue), the goods issue have a plant and sales office & profit centre. When the financial document is created, it post to a specific GL Account, I want to change the GL Account, but don't know which field (plant, sales office, profit centre) determines the GL account, and where this setting is made, so that I can change it.
The movement type that involve is 601. This means for every goods issue we generate, there is a accounting document, and this account document is posting to a GL account, and I want to change this specific GL account. It is not in VKOA, OKGB or GGB1.
Thank you for your assistance

601 is created for goods issues against sales order. Look up the material document in MIGO and look for the FI document entries taking place. Then go in OBYC, and look up those account keys and you will find the G/Ls assigned against those accounts keys.
Whenever you create a delivery with reference to a sales order, goods movement takes place in the bacgground. eg. In case of standard sales order, you create an outbound goods delivery to the customer.
Here movement 601 takes place. This movement is configured in MM.
When goods issues are posted for sales:-
Movement type used for posting u2013 601
Accounting entry posted:-
Cost of goods sold -
Debit
Inventory of Finished goods -
Credit
For cost of goods sold transaction key----
GBB
is updated with general modification key----
VAX

Account determination for movement type 251

Hi!
While checking account determination for logistic movements, I find that according to standard customizing, movement type 251 is related to account modification VBR. You can easily see this: OMJJ --> Check movement type --> type "251" --> Select "Account Grouping".
Now my question: what I don't understand is why VBR and not VAX. GBB-VBR is the transaction key + account modification for internal goods issues (such as consumptions of material) and it's accordingly associated to movements types 201, 261, etc. which seems logical to me since these are internal GI's.
Now, 251 is IS-Retail movement type to reflect a POS sale, "GI for sales" as the short text indicates, so it is not an internal goods issue but rather an external one, not different from movement type 601, which is a normal sale and is associated to GBB-VAX. GBB-VAX is the transaction key + account modification for sales goods issue.
I know I could easily copy 251 to create another movement type and assign any account modification to it, that's not the issue. The only problem is that I must explain to my client how account assignments work, and I cannot find a single reason why in standard SAP IS-R an external goods issue (251) is associated with an internal goods issue account modification (GBB-VBR).
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Account determination movement 309- Transfer posting material to material

Hi,
I have two materials:
- Material A--> Valuation Class 6005; valuated material
- Material B--> Valuation Class 6006; valuated material
I need to convert material 'A' in material 'B' with movement type '309' - Transfer posting material to material
FI document created for this goods movement is:
Itm
PK
Account
D/C
Account short text
Amount
Trs
1
99
3002100
H
EXIST.CARBÓN TER.C.A
94,51-
BSX
2
89
3003100
S
EXIST.CARBÓN ALTO AZ
94,51
BSX
But I need that account determination for 309 movement also determines other 2 account like these:
3
6100210
H
COMP.CARB.C.A.AETC
94,51-
4
6100310
S
COMP.CARB.ALTO AZUFR
94,51
So I need that FI document generated contains 4 lines accounts ( account group 3 + account group 6 ), not only 2 lines.
In transaction simulate inventory management: account assigments for material 'A' and movement 309 is:

ACCOUNT DETERMINATION "INTERCOMPANY SALES &3RD PARTY SALES" -kishore,AK ,

HI ,
   Rajesh , Kishore , AK ,
      well 2day i had   client interview , he was very much stressing on " ACCOUNT DETERMINATION " process in intercompany sales , both in ordering comapny and delvering plant .
       At the same time account determination for 3rd party sales . well got some docs had brief capsule study , still stuck up .
   can u pl throw come clarity .
Regards,
jerry

Dear Jerry
Inter-Company Scenario in SAP is quite different than its literal meaning.
Inter-Company means, customer gives order to company code A (PlantA), but Plant A is not having stock, so it passes on to Plant B(CoCd B).So in Sales order of A you enter Plant B.
So now goods are delivered by Plant B to Customer and commercial invoice for customer is from CoCd A.
Cocd B just gives inter company invoice.
Now Comming to account determination , it totally depends on pricing procedure as account keys are there. There is not much difference from standard scenario, but you can have seperate G/L Accounts
If you are talking about <b>sales between different company codes</b>, then this can be handled having different sales document and thus different pricing procedure, you can ask customer , what is there requirement. and can say that it is like normal sales cycle only
<b>Third-Party Processing</b>
1) two standard process provided by SAP in the frames of the third-party processing:
a) pure third-party process: X creates the sales order, automatically purchase requision and later a purchase order will be created at the vendor. Then the vendor sends the goods directly to your customer and send the invoice to X. The company X creates the invoice to the customer Y.
b) individual purchase order: the same process, but the vendor sends the goods not to the customer directly, but first to X, and then the company X delivers the goods to the customer Y. The invoice is coming from Z to X (transaction MIRO), and then X creates invoice to Y.
you can refer the accounting document to get Idea of account determination

GL Account Postings for Goods movement

Hi,
I have a requirement to setup a account determination for goods movement for charity.
What happens is that at times goods are given out directly for charitable purposes.
This is done using a direct goods movement using 562. I need to know what kind of accounts should be debited or credited?
kindly advice.
thanks.

Hi,
Generally it should be Goods Issue against Cost Center through Movement Type "201" (Here create "Admin" Cost Center and in Text line mention the purpose as Issue to Charity)
Else create Charitable trust as a vendor and use option Goods Issue --> Others (Mvmt. Type 502) and issue the materials.
Accounting Entry should be;
Stock Account - Cr
Consumption Account - Dr
Also discuss once with your client.

Account Determination and Movement type

Hello Experts,
From SD course, we know that account determination is Account Key + Account assignment groups for customer and material respectively + Sorg + COA.
So, what does it mean by this definition of Movement type:
"The movement type is a three-digit key used to differentiate between goods movements in the R/3 System. Examples of these goods movements are goods receipts, goods issues or transfer postings It plays a central role in Automatic Account determination"
regards
Pascal

From SD course, we know that account determination is Account Key + Account assignment groups for customer and material respectively + Sorg + COA.
This is related to revenue account determination. Normally carried out by SD personal using t.code VKOA.
The movement type is a three-digit key used to differentiate between goods movements in the R/3 System. Examples of these goods movements are goods receipts, goods issues or transfer postings It plays a central role in Automatic Account determination
This is related to inventory account update (quantity/value]. For example, when a goods issue is made, the value and quantity in the stock account needs to be reduced. The G/L account assignment is configured by MM personnel using t.code OBYC.

Movement Types and value string in account determination.

Hi Team,
In the account determination how and where the movement types and value string are assigned to each other.
Thanks,
Sanjay

hi
Value Strings
Posting records are assigned to each relevant movement type in Inventory Management and to each transaction in Invoice Verification.
Value Strings indicates the posting rule that always contains the same account assignment characteristics for a certain transaction or event (for example a goods movement or an invoice receipt).
Each goods movement is assigned to a Value String and each Value String in turn is assigned to Transaction/ Event keys. These settings are pre-defined and can not be changed.
You can see the linking of Value Strings in the following tables:
T156S- Movement Type: Quantity/ Value Posting (For movement type--> Value String)
T156W- Posting String Values (For Value String--> Transaction/ Event key)
I had found the following Value Strings in the system: WA01, WA03, WA04, WA06, WE01, WE06 and WF01.

Account Determination error during Goods Receipt

Good Day,
I get the error Account determination for 2000 WRX is not possible when trying to post a Goods Receipt for a material without a master.
My material is linked to material material type 1.
Material type 1 is linked to valuation class 3000.
In OBYC transaction WRX valuation class 3000 is linked to the G/L account I am posting to 405200.
Despite these settings I cannot post a good receipt.
The posting however works when I use a material with a material master and the same G/L account.

Hi,
In this case material group must be linked to valuation class
and the subsuquent account determination should exit for the above valuation class.
Please check the same.

Manoj
