Question

Hi all of you,
We have done account determination for SD. Accounting documents are also generating, but with in the invoice accounting document, number of line items are generating for each item with in the sales order, standard invoice type is F2 like -
Item 001 - X Material
Item 002 - Y Material
Item 003 - Z Material
The accounting document is -
Line Item 001 - Customer Ac Dr
Line Item 002 - Discount A/c Dr
Line Item 003 - Sales revenue
Line Item 004 - Discount A/c Dr
Line Item 005 - Sales Revenue
Line Item 006 - Discount A/c Dr
Line Item 007 - Sales revenue
Line Item 008 - VAT
Even, in my experience I did not find this type of entry and the sales revenue and discount accounts are same with in the COA and is posted with in the plant.
Please give me your valuable suggestion to rectify the above issue.

Answer 1

Dear Ramki,
This is SAP Standard. System generates Accounting document line item for each Line items in Invoice.
This is standard & also required bacuase say you have different Material types in single Invoice (e.g.Material & Service items, Trading Goods, etc). The valuation class assigned to these Material Types may be different & you might want to post revenues from these Line items in different GL Accounts.
Hope this helps. .
