MM Pricing: Account and Accrual Keys

Hi !
In a calculation schema we can assign Account Keys and Accrual Keys to condition types.
I am noticing that if I assign a Accrual Key, the Account Key is ignored.
Is this a correct observation?
If I assign a Accrual Key do I have to leave Account Key blank?
Under what circumstances, if any, would it make sense to assign both Accrual Key and Account Key to a condition type in a calc schema?
If someone can clarify my confusion, I will appreciate it.
Thanks,
Anisha.

Anisha,
Please note accural key are in action when "Purchase account Managment "is active for your company code .So please check Purchase account active or not (IMG-MM-Valuation and account assignment-Account determination-Acc.dete.without whizard-Purchase account management --activate purchase acc management in company code).note that puchase acc is used in following country only...Belgium,spain,portugal,france italy,finland....
Use of accurals---With the aid of the account key, the system can post amounts to certain types of accruals accounts. For example, rebate accruals which are calculated from pricing conditions can be posted to the corresponding account for rebate accruals.

Hi,
Account key
Account key is mainly used for Frieghts.Account key enables amount to post to certain revenue accounts, for example freight charges. When you add freight related condition types, it will be added to separate G/L accounts, means this will not be added to material price.
Accruals key:
Accruals mean accumulating,with the addition of the account key, the system can post amounts to certain types of accruals accounts. For example, rebate accruals which are calculated from pricing conditions can be posted to the corresponding account for rebate accruals.

GL account and posting keys

Hi All,
Can someone guide me how the Debit and the creift indicator is determined for the system to post the accouting entry for a sales transaction.
Through account determination the GL account is determined for an account key.
For example if GL account for sales determined is 1234 through account key. How does the system determines whether a credit value appears against the GL account 1234 (through posting key 50) and how the system determines the corresponding debit entry (posting key 40) to the customer account.
Can some show the T codes or menu path to link the GL accounts to posting keys and how the system determines that for every credit to sale account , a corresponding debit needs to be done to customer account (what control this )
regds

Dear Friend,
As you already know the accounting Principles, that Debit & Credits & every postings should be equal.
Now as per GL account determination maintained system determines necessary GL Accounts.
Now, in GL Account Definition (T-Code FS00) you enter Account Group (e.g. Inventory account, Fixed Asset account, Account Receivable, etc)
This Account Group classifies the GL Account Master Data. The account group is a classifying feature within the G/L account master records. The account group is a required entry.
The account group determines the fields for the entry screens if you create or change a master record in the company code. The account group also determines in which number interval the account number must be.
Hope this helps...
Thanks,

Account/Accrual keys

Hi,
In the pricing configurtaion, for rebates both the account key and accrual key columns are filled in with the relevant keys.
1 ) In VKOA, there are two GL account columns, so that means the first GL column relates to account key and the 2nd GL column relates to accrual key.
when the accounting doc is made, does the debit goes to the first GL account and th credit goes to 2nd GL account for the rebates conditions ?
regards

Hi Micheal,
Thanks for the reply. I have one question.
I think accruals are credited. So when accrual is done, then the credit goes to GL account mentioned against the accrual key.
My question is where is the debit entry going? Iam asking this since financial accounting follows double entry system. that is for every debit, there is a credit and vice versa.
so if for rebates the accural amount goes to a particular GL account through VKOA, where is the opposite entrry going to and in which GL account and where it is configured.

Pricing- Accounting key and accruals effect

Dear Friend,
I am having Import pricing procedure , there are total 100 condition types . This is made by earlier consultant. Now my client wants that he will put data in only few condition type.
But my question is that most of the conditions are there where account key is assigned and accruals is assigned. though i am not putting data in conditions . will it make any effect on accounting.???
Regards,
Mahesh.

Hi,
No it does not effect.If you are not using.
Accruals means which accumulates over a time period. For statistical analysis of certain condition type like freight we maintain it as accrual in control data of the condition type in M/08 in pricing procedure. As soon as we mark it as accrual it is posted to an account for statistical analysis and not loaded on material account for that we set a transaction/event key and assign account in OBYC settings.Account Keys are used only when you activate the purcahse account for your company code.

Account Key and Accruals in SD Pricing Procedure

hi all-
I'm looking for a clear explanation about the "account key" and "accruals" fields in the SD pricing procedure:
- what is the difference
- when do you use "account key", when do you use "accruals" (examples are very helpful)
- I see that sometimes there are entries for "account key" and "accruals", what is the meaning and effect for postings
thank,
Ben

Hi,
Please Note the following in Pricing Procedure:
Account Key: It posts the G/L as assigned for Income or expenditure i.e. For Revenues from sales / Income (PR00, EK01 etc) we assign the condition types to u201CERLu201D and for Expense or spot discounts (K005, KA00) etc. we can use u201CERSu201D
As far as Accruals are concerned, they are provisions in accounts to be reimbursed or adjusted at a later stage or at the end of a period I.e. for u201CREBATE-SALESu201D we can use u201CERUu201D. (I.e. Customer rebate - B003 etc.)
Further please use help in SAP and explore, while doing transactions.
Hope the concept is clear

Accounting Key & Accruals Key in Calculation Schema (Pricing Procedure)

Hi Freinds,
               I have a query regarding use of Accounting Key & accruals key in the Calculation Schema (Pricing Procedure).
What is the significance of Accounting key & accruals key in the calcuation schema? Which Accounting & Accruals keys have to be used for Gross price,Discount,Freight, tax etc in the Calculation schema? Please post your precious threads.
Thanks & Regards

hi
AcyKy - Account Key/ Accrls - Accruals:
for SD module
u2022     The values of the Sales Revenues, Sales Deductions, Freight Revenues, Tax Revenues, and Rebate Accruals etc. are going to be posted in the respective G/L accounts in Fi Module.
u2022     In order to do this we assign account keys/ accruals to the different condition types based on their classification. The classification shown below.
o     ERB Rebate sales deduct.
o     ERF Freight revenue
o     ERL Revenue
o     ERS Sales deductions
o     ERU Rebate accruals
u2022     For Ex.,
o     For all Price condition types like PR00 etc. we assign ERL - Revenue.
o     For all Discount condition types like K004, K005 etc. we assign ERS - Sales Deductions.
o     For all Freight condition types KF00 etc. we assign ERF - Freight Revenues.
o     For all Rebates condition types BO01 to BO05 we assign in Account key ERB - Rebates Sales deductions and for Accruals ERU - Rebate Accruals.
u2022     This account keys and accruals are in turn assigned to respective G/L accounts. So the system posts respective values in respective G/L accounts in Fi-Co Module.
u2022     This also one of the areas of SD - Fi Integration. SD consultants assign the account keys and Fi Consultants assign the respective G/L accounts in T.Code:VKOA.
Similarly for MM Module
Account keys are EIN, FR1, FR2, FR3, FRE, etc...
And in OBYC, we do necessary account determination for the same.
For e.g. Freight Posting in GR
Condition type FRA1, Accrual FR1 and in OBYC, assign Freight Clearing A/c to FR1
During GR;
Stock Account - Dr - 110 INR
GR/IR Clearing A/c - Cr - 100 INR
Freight Clearing A/c - Cr - 10 INR
transaction event key is the Key that identifies different types of G/L account.
The account key enables the system to post amounts to certain types of
revenue account. For example, the system can post freight charges
(generated by the freight pricing condition) to the relevant freight
revenue account.
use
To enable the system to find the relevant account for provisions (for
accrued delivery costs or miscellaneous provisions, for example), you
must assign a transaction/event (internal processing) key to each
condition type that is relevant to provisions in the step Define
Calculation Schema.
if u search on SDN or GOOGLE u will get many threads for this
hope it helps

Procedure account key and accrual

Dear all,
1 What is the difference for account key and accrual in procedure M/08.
2 I maintain both FR1 at account key and FR3 at accrual. During GR, I only see gl account for FR3 showing. Why not FR1 at account key?
3 I see most of the condition with both account key and accrual also enter the transaction code. if system only picks 1, why need to maintain both?
Thanks

Hi,
Account Key enables the system to post amounts to certain types of Revenue account(Frieght & Custom)
With the help of account key ,the accrual key can post amounts to certain types of accruals accounts in the system.
Check related condition type in M/06 & see the Cond.category linked.
Also see the (account key / accrual key) which will have the transaction event key and will store the Purchasing documents value in posting that links( which one linked so you have posting) in OBYC setting

Enquiry for the accruals key in pricing procedure

Dear Experts,
1) My question is this that, what is the significance of 'Accrual' key in pricing procedure? & why accruals are only used for rebates?
2) what is the name of a/c where the posting of invoice is done or in other words after the invoicing which a/c is maintained from FI perspective?
Thanks & regards,
M.S.Kumar

Hi,
The accrual keys form part of account determination. These keys are used here to define the posting of the revenue
generated to respective account heads& to subsequent assignment to GL accounts and payment to respective
parties.
The accural key in pricing procedure is used for accumulating the values.
For example we if think that the freight charges which must be paid to the vendor for every invoice must be paid later.Then the freight charges for that vendor for a period of lets say 3 months will get accumulated in a key(Accural)for all the invoices in that period.further this key is linked to a GL account.so at the end of a period they will settle the amount to the vendor.
Main difference is account key posts into revenue account or consumption account,
Accrual key posts into a Accrual account.
Accrual entry is passed when cost or revenue are accured but not paid or billed (Surity of the transaction) like rent, salary.
