Define Account Grouping for Movement Types??

hi
In account determination the setting in transaction OMWM - Define Account Grouping for Movement Types
The above transaction needs any setting or its standard SAP settings??
Can somebody explain me about this transaction in detail.
Thanks

OMWM is to decide account determination should happen via valuation grouping code or not. SAP standard is with valuation grouping code. I had never seen singe time anywhere it is deactivated.
Account grouping for movemement you can see in OMJJ. (Inside movement type left side). It is also predefined by SAP. You see only account modifier and check acct. assignment is editable. Others cannot be edited.
In case for same transaction if you want 2 different GL account needs to be triggered for same material in same plant, we copy a movemen type and create a new and assign a different account modifier.
Then in OBYC against it we will maintain different GL account.
Hope you are clear

Define Account group with screen Layout (Vendor)

Hello,
Normally, for Intra-Inter company suppliers, we don't apply Withholding Tax.
In the customizing of vendor account group, for the group "Inter-Intra company suppliers", witholding Tax informations are suppressed.
The problem is i want to change that only for one company code. Because in Portugal, there is Withholding Tax applied for Intra-Inter company suppliers.
Is it possible to change Account group screen layout of that account group only for One Company code ? And how ?
Thanks

Hello Dianne,
There is screen layout per company code (vendor), but what i need is per company code and per account group.
This means, for a specific Account group, i need a sepcific screen layout only for a specific company code.
I think it's not possible....

Define Account Group for Matetial Types

Hi All,
I am trying to understand how Movement types are linked to account assignment.
In IMG - MM - Valuation and account assignment - Account determination - Account determination without wizard (OMWN)
In this transaction or setting i do not see my movement type 101 linked to BSX and WRX transaction key, however when i do Goods receipt with 101 mvt type it is hitting inventory accounts in BSX,
However i see 101 mvt type linked to Transaction key KBS.
How is this linkage working.
Let me know your inouts here.
Thanks,
Regards
Raghavendra

Hi,
When Goods movement (101) is posted, accounts in BSX is hit.
However in OMJJ setting i do not see 101 movement type being linked to BSX.
Can you let me know is there any relationship here.
Thanks,
Regards
Raghavendra

Issue in changing Account Group of a Customer

Dear Gurus,
I am trying to change the Account Group of a Sold to Party in XD07, from '0001' to 'Z001' (an exact copy of '0001'), but the system is giving an Error message "Change of account group not possible; customer used in SD documents".
          '0001' = Sold to Party
          'Z001' = Non Operative Customers (who are not dealing with us now)(Same number range, same fields / values)
I checked and made sure there are no open docs against his name and his account has Zero balance. The Customer is not having any Blocks. Still system is giving the Error message, now what to do?
Best Regards.

1. Partner Determination
SP, SH, BP, Payer are key to document processing. Automatic partner determination happens in the sales document, delivery and billing documents, sales activities, and the customer master record.
IMG  SD  Basic fncs  Partner fncs, define partner fncs [VOPA]
Each partner function can be assigned a partner type. This partner type specifies whether the partner is a customer, contact person, or vendor.

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.
Sylvecast

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,...

Account Groups !!!

Hi Everyone..
In customizing, I have found two paths regarding account groups..
1. IMG - Financial Accounting --> Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable --> Customer Accounts --> Master Data --> Preparations for Creating Customer Master Data --> Define Account Groups with Screen Layout (Customers)
and
2. IMG - Logistics General --> Business Partner --> Customers --> Control --> Define Account Group & Field Selection For Customers.
What is the difference bw these two transactions ??
Which one is relevant for a SD consultant ??
Regards
Harvinder

Hi Harry,
In 1st Menu Path:
In the first Screen of XD01 we have the Mandatory fileds like Account Group, Company Code, Sales Organisation, Distribution channe, Division etc., you can make the about said fields as Mandatory fieds of Iniatial screen of XD01.
In 2nd Menu Path:
Once you go to the main screen of XD01 where you find the 3 Important data like General Data, Company Code data and Sale Area Data.the Fields Consists in these Respective Data you can make the necessary fields with avialable options like Mandatory, Surpress, Optional etc.,
Mean to say the as per your requirment which every field you want you can make that field Mandatory or supress or Optional etc.,
Hope this clarifies your doubts and Please Reward if Really Helpful,
Thanks and Regards,

Changing account group

Hie friends,
onece customer has been created, (Ex XXXXX has been created with the account group Y005) is there anyway to have the account group changed in CRM?
thanks and regards,
dinesh.

Hi Dinesh,
The reason for this error message is that the account group you are changing from has some fields open for entry which the account group you are changing to does not have.
In order to enable the change, you have to change the field selection for one of the account groups.
IMG: Logistics u2013 General => Business Partner => Customers => Control => Define Account Groups and Field Selection for Customers
