Is it advisable to change account group of GL account?

Hi,
I have seen that it is possible to change account group of GL account even after the posting has been made to this GL account.
Here I would like to know
1)how it impacts on the business and
2)how to make this field not alterable in config after the posting has been made
Thanking you in advance.

Hi,
It is not possible to change the account group of a GL account for the simple reason that one of the primary function of account group is to determine number ranges of GL account.
You can create another GL account in expected account group and transfer all the entries.
Best Regards,
Madhu

Difference between "account group" and "reconciliation account"

Hello,
I am new to SAP and I would like to understand the difference between the "account group" and the "reconciliation account" that appear both in the vendor master records.
From what I read, "account group" is just a classification but has no "accounting" impact whereas "reconciliation account" (goods suppliers, overhead expenses suppliers...) do have an accounting impact.
However I am not sure so I would like a confirmation on that and if possible examples so I could really understand.
Thank you.

Hi,
The account group is a way to divide vendors into groups for reporting later on.
The account group is also the link to the number range and the field selection functionality.
Please refer the below link for more clarity.

Vendor Account group and recon account

Hi,
I have 2 vendor account groups:
1) ZLOC- For domestic vendors
2) ZIMP- For Import Vendors.
My requirement is when I am creating the vendor master, the recon account meant for local vendors should automatically get selected and for import vendors recon meant for import vendor should be selected.
this is required to avoid entry errors by users. currently they are selecting by drop down and made mistakes.
Regards

Hi,
In std SAP, I don't think it is possible.
We have to maintain it manually.
It's not a day to day activity so very few chances of mistake by user.

Hi Expert,
We need to create the Reconciliation Accounts for Customers, according to the Customer Account Groups.
If Customer is Created with the following Account Groups - Thirds Party , Affiliates and Subsidiary then we need to Create the Reconciliation Accounts - Sundry Debtors - Thirds Party Account, Sundry Debtors - Affiliates Account and Sundry Debtors - Subsidiary Account.
FI and SD Integration is done in T-Code: VKOA and in T-Code: OB40(Taxes Account Determination)
T-Code: OVK8 is just for creation of Account Assignment Groups for Customers.
Account Determination at the time of Post Goods Issue - T-Code: OBYC - GBB (Transaction) - VAX - Valuation Class (Finished Product) - COGS Account - No Cost Element (If there is no production Activity)

Reg : Customer Account Group Change

Hi Dear All,
Can any one Tell me that what effect will be there if i change the Customer account group from 0001-sol to party to EXPO-acc gr for Export customer.
As the customer is old and by mistake it has been created in 0001 instead EXPO acc group.
i need to know that what will be the effect on all sales data and accounting documents created already for that customer .
This i have to do for around 1500 records
pl suggest me the probable effects for the same.
ok thanks

Hi sunil,
You can change Account Group of a customer at any time. Its not going to effect the previous records.
But once after changing the Account group, what ever you customers you create will follow the new account group procedure.
But the thing is, if you want to process the old account group customers, must check that the corresponding fields are active / already in use or not. For example if you dont maintained one field in old account group customers and now with new account group if you want to process with that field, then you have to go the change mode and maintaine those field for all those customers which are not maintained earlier.
Like this if you can check the change in the Fields from old account group and new account group, then there wont be any problem.
Hope this gives you some idea.
REWARD IF HELPFUL.

hi
A D120 Control 037 County Code, City Code
these fields are not there in the account group for which u r trying to change
So goto OBD2 and select your target account group which you want to modify and check whether the fields
county code and city code are suppressed make the required or optional
then you can modify the account group
BOTH the source account group and Target account group should be similar in fields and views then only you can modify

What is account group? how to definf

what is account group? how to definf

Dear deva
You must assign each account to an account group. The account group ensures that only the relevant screens and fields are displayed and ready for input for each of the customers different partner functions. For example, the address, communication, and bank data fields are omitted for the account group for one-time accounts.
You maintain the account groups in Customizing (IMG), or copy the defaulted account groups.
The account group controls:
The type of number assignment used for the account number
A number interval from which the account number is chosen. The system uses the account number to identify the customer.
Which fields are displayed when you enter or change customer master data and whether or not an entry must be made in these fields (field status)
Whether the account is a one-time account
To create a master record, you have to specify an account group. The account group cannot be changed once you have created the master record. Your system administrator, however, can change the above account group specifications.
For more information about account group specifications, see the Define Account Groups with Screen Layout activity in the Implementation Guide (IMG) for Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable.
For instance, if you implement Sales and Distribution (SD) after implementing Financial Accounting (FI), changes to an account group may be necessary if you wish to add fields that were previously hidden in the master record.

Vendor account group assign to Reconciliation account

Hello Experts,
Is it possible to customize a reconciliation account assignment to vendor account group?
Our requirement is when you create a vendor, then select a vendor account group, the reconciliation account will automatically be proposed in the field. This is to avoid selecting wrong reconciliation account when creating a vendor.
I had a look in SPRO but I couldn't find anything that could do that.
Thanks in advance
Regards,
Catherine

Thanks for your inputs,
I have checked in the system if there is a user_exit. Could you please confirm me that the user_exit "GLPLAN00 - Enhanced authorization and master data validation" is the good one?
My objective is to have the correct reconciliation account automatically populated when I am creating a customer/vendor with a specific account group.
e.g. select account group - XXXX Non-trade customer / Reconciliation acct XXXXXX non trade customer automatically populated.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Catherine

Account group and Account Type.

Hi all,
Could you please tell me the diferences between GL Account group (by example cash, expense, revenue ....) which we define in IMG - Financial Accounting - General Ledger Accounting - G/L Accounts - Master Records - Preparations - Define Account Group and Account Type (by example: Vendor, Customer, Material, GL Account) which is in the screen "create account type" IMG - Financial Accounting - Financial Accounting Global Settings - Document - Document Header - Define Document Types ?
Thank you very much.

Hi
Account Group Controls the Master records. It controls the number range of Master record and Field status group (Supress, Required, Optional and Display) also. SAP follows a Grouping principle all throughout SAP to handle the Master Records that may be in GL, AR AP any thing. See to create a GL Account group you define at OBD4 there itself you assign the Number Range or those groups which also controls Field Staus of GL Master Records. And for Creating AR and AP Master Records you create at OBD2 and Vendor at OBD3 which will also controls Field Status Group of And Number range of Master record. The only difference between GL and AR/AP is assigning of number range. For GL will specify at OBD4 itself but for AR/AP we need to create a number range at FBN1 then assign to AR And AP at OBD2 and OBD3 respectively.
One more thing. Remember only Field Status group of Master recard (OBD2, OBD3, OBD4) only contain Display option but not to Posting Key or Field Satus Group (OB41 or OBC4). I am so specifing becoz I commited this mistake in one interview.
In summary, the account group controls:
i) The number ranges of the accounts,
ii) The status of the fields in the company code segment of the master record. Since a chart of accounts contains many different types of accounts, they can be bundled into different "account groups ". Usually one account group bundles
accounts with the same tasks within the general ledger, e. g. cash accounts, material accounts, asset accounts, profit and loss
accounts,...

How to find the accounts in an account group

Given an account group i need to find out the list of all account in the group.
Is there any Function module or table for the same ....?
Edited by: Tcode on Jun 16, 2009 10:39 PM

Hi
use Transaction Code S_ALR_87012328 and give the selection parameters as Account group, Chart of accounts and Company Code.
Or You can check Table SKA1 and extract the list for a account group in a Chart of account and then to check again in Table SKB1 whether all the GL's in the list are existing against the company code or not.
