Thanks

Hi,
In SAP every movement of goods is followed by one movement type and movement type trigged transaction event keys. G/L account assignment and G/L account assigned to transaction event key (OBYC). GR & IR will updated by movement of goods only. In Account Determination, respective G/L accounts assigned to your chart of account,relevant to business transactions keys(Example:BSX,PRD,FRE,GBB),Account modifier(Example:BSA,VBR) and Valaution Calsss.If all are assigned then you would not face any problems during your posting of GR,IR etc..........
Configuration of Automatic Account Determination with T.Code are as follow:
1.OMSK: valuation Class with Account category reference,
2.OMWM: Active Valuation Grouping Code,
3.OMWN: Active Movement type with G/L account,
4.OMWD: Active Valuation Area,
5.OMWB: Active Chart of account,Valuation Grouping Code,Account Grouping Code,Valuation Class and G/L acocounts
In OMWB or OBYC
Click TE key and enter Chart of account and then save the Roles 1st for
1.Debit/Credit
2.General modification
3.Valuation Modif
4.Vakuation class
And then enter respective critetia for that TE key and save.
If assignment(Chart of account,Valuation Grouping Code,Account Grouping Code,Valuation Class and G/L acocounts are correct and u would not face any problems in G/GI/IV.

OBYC Valuation and account assignment

Hi,
when I create a purchase order for a material, system doesn't propose automatically the g.l. account (Purchasing account, EIN) that has been set in OBYC.
I had a look in material master and the material has a valuation class assigned.
I checked in trx OBYC and there are Valuation modification, Valuation class, Debit and Credit assigned but g.l. account won't appear and the only way is to set manually the g.l. account
Best Regards

Hi sappione,
EIN is only when you are using Purchasing Account Management (I used this in France):
Information from SAP
Purchase account(EIN), purchase offsetting account (EKG), freight
purchase account (FRE)
These transactions are used only if Purchase Account Management is
active in the company code.
Note
Due to special legal requirements, this function was developed
specially for certain countries (Belgium, Spain, Portugal, France,
Italy, and Finland).
Before you use this function, check whether you need to use it in
your country.
Did you have customised this part?
SPRO > Materials Management > Valuation and Account Assignment > Account Determination > Account Determination Without Wizard > Purchase Account Management
But, I presume that you want to post the GR and the system is asking you for EIN.
It is because of the PO does not have assigned a G/L account into the item (check Account Assignment tab).
If you want that the G/L account can be determined in automatic, then, go to SPRO > Materials Management > Purchasing > Account Assignment > Maintain Account Assignment Categories.
There, make double click on "K - Cost center".
Afterwards, define a value in "Acct modification" i.e. VBR.
Then, create a PO and the G/L account will be determined in automatic.
Another possible solution is that you can define a valuation class by Material group (for the cases where you are asking for a Po without material codes). It can be done by SPRO > Materials Management > Purchasing > Material Master > Entry Aids for Items Without a Material Master.
There, you can define a valuation class for a Material group and once you create the PO, the G/L account will be determined according to this valuation class.
I hope this information can be useful.
Kind regards,
Sandra

Offsetting entry and account determination

Hi friends,
The question I'm putting across might sound silly. I have tried a lot to understand these on my own but I still don't feel confident on my own understanding. Hence I'm seeking your help.
Can you please explain me the meaning of Offsetting Entry in SAP in layman language ? Could you also provide me some examples?
It would be great if you can answer the following questions as well-
1. What is the purpose of the T/E key PRD and why is T/E key PRD required for movement type 101.
2. For movement type 251 and posting string WA01, the account modifier is VBR. The G/L account assigned for GBB-VBR is 50100000 for valuation class 3000. Does it mean that a GI for sales of a material of valuation class 3000 will ONLY hit 50100000 and will not hit any other G/L account?
Thanks a lot for your help.
Rana

Hi Prabu and Praveen,
Thanks a lot for your response. Let me express what I understood and please correct me if I go wrong.
For mv.ty. 101, BSX and WRX are triggered to hit the assigned G/L accounts. Since offsetting is done to WRX for BSX, hence we don't need a GBB T/E key to make another offsetting entries.
But for 251 movement, the inventory account is credited and the COGS account is debited. If I look at the account determination, I see that G/L 50100000 is hit by GBB-VBR. So where is the other entry? Per my understanding, there should be an entry to BSX as well for 251.
Waiting for your response.
Thanks!
Rana
Addition- I checked the account grouping for movement type 251 but I didn't see any T/E key associated with it apart from PRD. So, if GBB-VBR makes the offsetting entry to a G/L account then where is the original posting?

Division and Account determination in Freight Costs

Hey Friends!
How the system does to determine the division and account in Freight Costs?
Thanks!

Hi,
1)In config you maintain account assignment category ...spro->log. execution->transportation->shipment cost->settlement->maintain account assignmnet category.
2) Here you need to give account modification for an account assignment category
3) Maintain that account modification in GBB transaction key in OBYC transaction.
4) So the GL account gets detrmined according to the valuation class of the material.
5) If business area is active in ur system then u need to link valuation area with business area and division in Enterprise structure->Assignment->logistics general-> Assign business area to valuation area/division.
So the system will determine the business area.

Export valuation and accounting

Hi,
I have following pricing elements in my export pricing.
1. FOB price, 2.Insurance 3.Freight 4. CIF (Cost Insurance and Freight)
CIF price= FOB price + Insurance + Freight
Say if the CIF price is $1000, FOB $900, Insurance $10 & freight $90.
Assuming that M rate= 40, I will have to account as follows.
Dr Customer 40000 (1000*40)
Cr Revenue 36000 (900*40)
Cr Insurance clearing 410 (10*41) (rate at customs notified rate)
Cr Freight clearing 3780 (90*42) (rate at which transporter paid
to shipping company)
Total of debits 40000
Total of credits 40190
Dr Difference 190 (to be adjusted in revenue as a separate
line item)
The document currency is USD. As per the statutory procedure, I have to
account CIF value at exchange rate M, insurance at customs defined
exchange rate for that month and Freight at the rate the transporter
paid to the shipping company. The customs defined rate and the exchange
rate for freight will not be equal to the M rate as in the case of
above.
Due to the above procedure, there will always be mismatch between
credits and Debits in company code currency (Rs 190 in above example)
because of different exchange rates followed for different pricing
elements.
SAP should post the difference Rs 190 dynamically into a revenue GL
account as a separate line item in the accounting document. This
difference will be known only after release to accounting and cannot be
manually calculated during order processing
Can SAP address this? Pls provide a solution.
Regards

New valuvation group for existing valuation area - Account Determination

Hi Experts,
Existing Scenario :
-> Plant level valuvation is been maintained
-> Valuvation group code 0001 is assigned for all the Valuvation Area until now.
Req :
I need to set new account determination for a particular material type for the existing valuvation area.
How to achieve the same ?
1.Do I need to create a new valuvation groupcode and assign the same for the existing valuvation area ?
Your inputs will be helpful.
Regards
Prasath

Hi
For new Material type account determination there is no requiremnt of gioing for anew valuation grouping code.
You go for a valuation grouping code only hwen you need to trigger differnt g/L accounts based on the PLant combination.
YOu can go ahead with the existing account determination by maintaining the new account category reference & valuation classes to the new material type.
Hope this solves your query
Thanks & Regards

Chart of accounts in valuation and account assignment

Hello,
Pls, someone advise, I want to make valuation at plant level, but I want in transaction obyc (configure automatic posting) to have option of entering valuation at plant, meaning that I want to enter plant, valuation class, than number of accounts (debit, credit).
And want to have option to enter it for every plant.
Pls, can it and how it can be done?
thanks in advance

<b><i>"but the problem is that I want to have different account for every plant, not only for valuation class but also for plant and valuation class."</i></b>
Under the same chart of account you can assign different G/L account for different plant (Valuation area) using the valuation grouping code (VGC).
The baseline for account determination is
Chart of account --> Tran Event Key --> Val Group code --> A/c modifier key --> Valuation class -> G/L account
- It will identify the chart of account based on plant which is used in the transaction. (Plant is assigned to company code and company code uses chart of account)
- Mvt type will identify the tran event key
- Valuation grouping code will be identified by plant (Plant = val area (if valuation level is at plant level) and valuation area is grouped in T-code OMWD)
- A/c modifier key will be identified from mvt type (for tran event key GBB, PRD, KON)
- Valuation class is identified from material or material group.
Based on the above combination G/L account will be identified for the transaction.
Hope this will help.

Arif Mansuri
Thanks for rewarding point if answer is helpful.

Movement type configuration and account determination

Hi Experts,
Is movement type config SD responsibility?
Should it be MM?
How is movement type important for account determination?
Where to configure it? From SD point of view, can i say just configure in Material master?
regards
Tom
certified but jobless

Hi,
Is movement type config SD responsibility?
Should it be MM?
Movement types configuration is part of MM (most of time no need to configure new as standards are enough)
How is movement type important for account determination?
Movement type are not considered for account determination in SD
Account determination is carried out in VKOA
Where to configure it? From SD point of view, can i say just configure in Material master?
NA

Valuation string in account determination

Hi ,
Please explain me automatic account determination considering the Valuation strings,
Please explain me how the different factors( like valuation class, material type etc) comes in sequence in automatic account determination.
Regards, Deepika
Edited by: Deepika Pradhan on Dec 27, 2007 8:52 PM

Hello
All the Goods Receipt, Goods Issue movements and Invoice Postings are the events relevant to Accounting. These transactions or events effects the accounting and there is a need to post the value to certain GL Account.
Account Determination is a process to automatically identify the GL Account and post it when a relevant Transaction or events takes place.
The following is level for valuation and account determination in MM
Chart of accounts
Company code
Valuation area
Plant
Valuation type
A Chart of Account provides a framework for the recording of values to ensure an orderly rendering of accounting data This is used as a key for account determination, to enable a differentiation for the purposes of G/L account assignment. You must assign a chart of accounts to each company code.You must configure automatic account determination separately for each chart of accounts
The Valuation Area is the organizational level at which material is valuated. Plant and company code are two possible valuation areas in the R/3 System. When stock is valuated at plant level, a material in different plants can be valuated at different prices. When stock is valuated at company code level, the valuation price of a material is the same in all of a company's plants
Valuation Grouping code
By activating or deactivating the Valuation Grouping Codes, you can turn on or off the dependency of the Account determination function on the Valuation Area. You must configure automatic account determination separately for each valuation grouping code within a chart of accounts
Valuation Class
The Valuation Class is a key for grouping materials that have the same Account Determination
The relationship between Valuation class and Material Types is established by the Account Category reference. The Account Category reference is a compilation of valuation classes
A material type is assigned to only one account category reference
Account Category Reference
Account Category References link the valuation Classes with the material Types
The combination Material Type-Account Category Reference-Valuation Class determines the G/L accounts updated for a valuation relevant transaction
Business Transactions
In the R/3 System, posting transactions are defined for each transaction in Materials Management that is relevant for Accounting. General posting records are assigned to each transaction or event in a value string
Example of a transaction/ event is a goods mvt or an invoice receipt
Example of transaction/ event keys are BSX for stock posting & PRD for a price difference posting
Example of value strings are WE01 attached to transaction GR for std. PO & WA01 assigned to various GI & other goods receipts
Instead of definite G/L account numbers, this value string contains transaction keys for the relevant posting transaction. The first transaction key for a posting rule usually stands for the debit posting
The posting transactions for the transactions in Inventory Management and Invoice Verification that are relevant for accounting are fixed. Posting records are assigned to each relevant movement type in Inventory Management and to each transaction in Invoice Verification
The assignments of value strings to goods movements and the breakdown of the same into transaction keys can be seen in Customizing for Inventory Management and Physical Inventory, but they can not be changed
In Customizing for Valuation and Account Assignment, G/L accounts for the various posting transactions are mentioned

Account determination - Valuation class 3040

Hi all,
Material type ERSA ( spare parts) - valuation class 3040.
For this valuation class 3040,wot are all the transaction key( eg BSA WRX) and Account modifier ( eg GBB - auf,bsa etc) need to be maintained.
We are configured,but,missed some a/c modifier.If you had similar experience,pls list out the transaction and a/c modifiers
Regards
hareesha

Hi
In the MM Account Determination it not necessary to use all the Account Modifiers under GBB, your requirement is not very clear, can you tell me what is the error you are getting when you post a transaction only then I can give you a solution.
Otherwise you can use the document help provided by SAP in SPRO transaction in the following path for any clarification
Material Management - Valuation and Account Assignment - Account Determination - Account Determination without Wizard - Configure Automatic Posting
In the Help Document SAP has given detailed explanation for all the Transactions and Account Modifiers.
If you find this suggession useful assign points.

Account determination EIN key

Hi Folks,
While doing Goods Receipt against Purchase Order, I am getting following error:
"Account determination for entry ABBS EIN not possible"
The problem is that I don't want to make posting in EIN rather I want to post in BSX which is already configured.
Please advise how to remove this error.
Regards

Hi,
The purchase account is posted at the time goods receipts and incoming invoices are posted, with the same amount as the stock account. The offsetting entry is posted to a purchase offsetting account. The purchase account is generally not posted upon goods receipts for purchase orders with account assignment.
A freight purchase account also exists. This is used to document delivery costs posted for externally procured materials.
EIN Purchase account
EKG Purchase offsetting account
FRE Freight purchase account
You can change the settings at the following location
SPRO->Materials Management->Valuation and Account Assignment->Account Determination->Account Determination Without Wizard-> Purchase Account Management-> Activate Purchase Account in Company Code
Thanks,
Sandeep
