Type movement Z601 for sampling

Question

Hi experts,
my custome has said that he wants to send some of the product materials for sampling and so he wants that they will be billing on other G/L accounts.
Which are the steps to follow?
So: I create a new mov.type Z601 equal to 601 but after how can I link this new mov.type in T030 with new G/L accounts?The valuation class remains the same because the products are always the same just that they are sent for sampling...
thanks in advance best regards

Thanks for the appreciation.
With regard to your question on new movement type,  if you need to post the Goods Issue to different accounts ( and not the usual  Inventory and Cost of Goods Sold accounts), then you  first examine if you can use one of the standard movement type (example 333). You can drive posting to different accounts for that movement type.  If you can't use existing ones for some reason, then you will need a new goods movement type (900+ or Z). You can use the same Sales order and Billing types but you need definitely a new Schedule Line (SL)  category ( to which the new movement type) is assigned and possible a new Item category which is assigned to the new SL category.
Here is how you do this:
1) Identify an existing movement type or set up a new movement type by copying existing movement type:
Transaction code : OMJJ
Path: SPRO/IMG/Materials Management/Inventory Management and Physical Inventory/Movement Types/Copy, Change Movement Types
Then set up the new account determination as follows:
2) Firstly define a new grouping for this movement type
T Code: OMWN
Path: SPRO/IMG/Materials Management/Valuation and Account Assignment/Account Determination/Account Determination Without Wizard/Define Account Grouping for Movement Types
3) Then set up the actual posting:
T code: OMWB
Path: SPRO/IMG/Materials Management/Valuation and Account Assignment/Account Determination/Account Determination Without Wizard/Configure Automatic Postings
4) Now create a new SL cat and assign the chosen movement type to it:
Transaction code: VOV6
Path: SPRO/IMG/Sales and Distribution/Sales/Sales Documents/Schedule Lines/Define Schedule Line Categories
5) Create a new item cat to with the SL category:
Transaction code: VOV7
Path: SPRO/IMG/Sales and Distribution/Sales/Sales Documents/Sales Document Item/Define Item Categories
6) Assign the new SL cat to new Item Cat
Path: SPRO/IMG/Sales and Distribution/Sales/Sales Documents/Schedule Lines/Assign Schedule Line Categories
7) Finally assign the new item cat as a manual default to the standard item cat ( TAN for example):
Path: SPRO/IMG/Sales and Distribution/Sales/Sales Documents/Sales Document Item/Assign Item Categories
Hope I am clear.
