Sales Deduction & Revenu Account

Question

During billing document and while using rebates I see that the revenue account has the entire amount and the discount is directed to another account.
Is it possible to direct the revenue account and the sales deduction to the same account, in this case that the discount goes directly to the revenue account.
So that I don´t have the discount in a different account an I can input the discount directly ?
Kind Regards

Answer 1

Dear David,
This  happen through assignment of G/L account in the VKOA transaction.
The values(Revenue or Descount or Discount)will transfer to the perticuler G/L account through account key which is assigned in the pricing procedure.
For example:- ERL account key used to transfer the sale revenue
                     ERS account key used to tranfer the deductions(Discount)
Normally sales reveune and sales discounts will be posted to the different G/L accounts as per FI requirement.In this scenerio different G/L accounts will be assigned to the ERL and ERS account keys in VKOA transaction.
Based on this combunation sales value will posted to the accounting

For example Revenue G/L account is 550000 and Discount G/L account is 560000
Account determination can be done like this

But in your case you are asking sales revenue and sales discount to be posted to single G/L account in this secenerio you need to assign same G/L account(i.e Revune G/L account) for both ERL and ERS account keys in VKOA transaction.
You need assign like this
For sales revenue
1.Condition typeChart of AccountsSales OrgCustomer account assignment groupMaterial account assignment groupERL550000
For sales dicount
2.Condition typeChart of AccountsSales OrgCustomer account assignment groupMaterial account assignment groupERS550000.
Note:- Before going to post these two values in to the same G/L account you need get conformation from FI people.Because this is not advaisable in accounting point of view.
I hope this will help you,

Murali.
