Stock ledger group

Question

hi all,
Can you please let me know on what basis Stock ledger group is assigned to material document.
I can see the Stock ledger group assigned to amt doc  in the table -  l/BEV2/EDMSE.
But from where it is assigned and on what basis ?
Regards,
Chandan

Hi,
During document selection, the system processes and evaluates each material document item. The system uses the following step to select the documents:
        The system assigns the material document items to the relevant tax type.
·        The system assigns the material document items to a stock ledger group.
You can modify the assignment to a stock ledger group for specific customers. To do this you use reference stock ledger groups. You can also replace stock ledger groups (Customizing table Replace Stock Leger Groups).
Basis for the assignment of stock ledger group to material document:
Based on the data from the order/goods issue, purchase order/goods receipt, material, storage locations, and other movement data, the system assigns the material document to a stock ledger division u2013 and a stock ledger sub-division if necessary u2013 and to a stock ledger group. The previously determined ED movement category ascertains the analysis method.
The system assigns reversal postings and original movements to the same stock ledger group. The quantity is simply entered with a different +/- sign than the original movement. For more clarity please follow below link. I hope this will resolve your issue. Thanking you.
