Hi,
Before understanding the account category reference, once should know what material type and valuation class are and how they are important in the valuation process of a material. If we are not aware these, then it will be difficult to understand what account category reference is and how it is related to valuation structure. Since our materials are grouped together on the basis of material types and valuation classes for the purpose of valuation at different levels, we have to establish some link between these two components of valuation structure.
Account category reference is the link between the valuation classes and the material types. The account category reference is a combination of valuation classes. Precisely one account category reference is assigned to a material type. In the standard SAP R/3 System, an account category reference is created for each material. The account category reference is, in turn, type assigned to precisely one valuation class. This means that each material type has its own valuation class. In the Standard SAP we have the following account category references for material type finished goods and valuation classes 7920.
FERT - 0009 - Ref. for finished products
7920 - Finished Goods - 0009
In the standard we have some predefined material type, valuation class and account category reference and a link between them has already established by the system itself. If we are using these standard setting no additional efforts are required. But to meet any specific requirement, if we have to create a new material type or a new valuation classes or a new Account Category Reference or all the three, then we have to establish this link. In configuration we have to make the following settings:
Create new material type
Create new account category reference
Define new valuation class
Link material types & valuation class via account category reference
Create an account determination for each valuation class in the step configure automatic posting
Once this link has been established for the entire new requirement and automatic posting has been configured to meet this requirement, then nothing more is required. The system will take care of the rest of the activities automatically.

Valuation type for two account category reference

Hi Experts
I created valuation type for
1) DOMESTIC & IMPORT with account category reference 0001 (for raw material)
it is applicable only with ROH material type.
2) Same Valuation type DOMESTIC & IMPORT system donu2019t allow to create for other account category reference 0003 ( it is for ZESS spares)
Here requirement is material type ROH & ZESS need to DOMESTIC purchase and IMPORT purchase. hence both material type need DOMESTIC & IMPORT valuation type How to solve this?
karan

Assign both the valuation class to the account category reference. And then assign both the material types to the same account category reference.
You can assign multiple valuation class to an Account Category Reference.
A valuation class can only be assigned to only one account category reference
Only ONE account category reference can be assigned to a material type
where as multiple Material Types can be assigned to a account category reference.
Hope this helps!!

Relation between Valuation Classes and material type

Dear all,
How i can keep relationship between valuation class & material type.
Can i put many valuation classes & single material type and vice versa.
Regards,
Nitin PAtil

Nitin,
Valuation class is used for automatic account determination .Valuation class is depend on material type.
Valuation class is key used to group together material with same account determination.
Valuation class is assigned to Material type via account category reference.
Same valuation class can be assigned to differnt material type if they belong to same account category reference.
However only one account category reference is assigned to one material type.
For Ex.
Mat Type         Act Cat Ref             Valuation class(only example)
ROH                0001                          3001,3002,3000
HALB               0001                          3001,3002,3003
FERT                0002                          7900 , 7902
I hope this will clear your concept.

Material type with Different valuation class and gl assignment

Hi Experts
I have several division in Material Type Spare Parts ( like Generator, Electrical, Mechanical). I have to assign different gl account for each material type. We know one material type is assigned only one account category reference. So how we can assign different gl account for same material type using valuation class.

You can assign different G/Ls to different materials by creating valuation classes and assigning different G/Ls to those valuation classes and then assigning those valuation classes to materials.
You cannot assign G/Ls to material type.
Now if you want different G/Ls to be assigned to same material, you need to use split valuation.

Hi,
If you are setting the valuation class against the material group (in "entry aids for POs without material master).
then it doesn't make any difference, if you change the link between the valuation class and the account assignment category. this link is ONLY used to determine the valuation classes that can be entered in MM01 and MM02. the link between the valuation class and the acc assign cat does not affect anything financially. the valuation class is the key that controls the financial postings and so if you are not changing this there is NO PROBLEM.
You have even less to worry about because these are obviously NOT stock items (because they have no material master record) and so the risk of changing the valuation class is reduced (and you are not even changing this).
So don't worry, all will be OK.

How to setup new valuation class and link it with gl a/c

hi
can some one help me setting up new valuation class and then how to link it with gl a/c
i m new so if some one can explain me in steps then that would b awsome.
thanx

Hi Iqbal,
Follow the below path for defining valuation class ;
SPRO>Materials Management>Valuation and Account Assignment>Account Determination>Account Determination Without Wizard--Define Valuation Classes
Note that Valuation class is linked to account category reference.
Account category ref is linked to Material Type.
Thus the system determines Valuation Class for a particular mat.type.
For detmining G/l accounts:
SPRO>Materials Management>Valuation and Account Assignment>Account Determination>Account Determination Without Wizard--Configure automatic postings
Click on account assignment. Double click on BSX , enter chart of accounts .
Against every valuation class you can find the G/L accounts.

Valuation class and movement type

Hi sirs,
What exactly mean by valuation class and is there any sublink to valuation class and movement type.
BSR

Hi BSR,
Regarding the meaning of valuation class and link between valuation class and movement type, you just have to understand this.
valuation class + movement type = transaction key --> GL account
explanation :
Valuation class
It is a field maintained in the accounting view 1 of Material master. This is nothing but the classification of material like Raw material, Finished goods, WP, stores & spares etc. It is indicated as numerical number.
Movement type
This is a 3 digit numerical code which is used for all material movement in MM module. Say for example movement type 101 is used for Goods receipt from vendor or from production.
Transaction Key
The combination of valuation class and the movement type translates into a transaction key which indicates the type of transaction.
remember:
The combination of Valuation Class + the Movement Type helps in determining the GL accounts automatic updates.
hope it helps and don't forget to assign points.
regards,
Lily

Advance thanks,
raraja

Hello ,
It is not possible to have a valuation class without accounting view.
There is some mistake that you are possibly making . pls check the same .Pls check if u r viewing the material master at the correct plant level .Also if you say that in MBEW valuation class exists , find out l the corresponding valuation level, the see the material master at the same level . You will definitely find the accounting view.

Changing of data class and size category for keyfigures .

Hi,
I am not able to change the data class and size category for keyfigures .
can you please let me know how to enable the changing of data class and size category for keyfigure under Maintain DB storage parameters.

Ok then it sounds like your primary key of 8 fields and secondary index of 3 non-unique fields appear somewhat similar to the database and it wrongly uses the secondary index. Perhaps you can try to declare the table as a SORTED table with index fields as key. I doubt this will do any good, but you can try.
You can try to deactivate the sec. index if it is not being used.
Or by far the best but also debatable, try to pass hints to the SQL parser by %_hints statement. Please refer to SAP note 129385 for details on hints in general and note 772497 for various hints statements for ORACLE DB. This will surely make the DB interface use the primary index and the update would be faster. But with 1 million records, hopefully you are not looking at response time in micro seconds, are you?

Valuation Class and G/L account

Hi.,
If i am trying to view the G/L accounts assigned to each valuation class, which Table should i be looking under. Or should it be under a T-Code??
Tx
Mahesh

Manish.,
OMWB gives me a list segregated as per the Valuation area , of the Valuation classes which are displayed after configuration.
Now as i browse ,say in BSX, when i need to add a valuation modifier and a valuation class to a GL account, how can i see the GL account assigned to that valuation class.
I understand that the assignment are done in OBYC.
When i go to assign the valaution modifier and valuation class to a GL account, i see the whole list of GL accounts which are there in the system.
But if i need to see the default settings for a valuation class vs GL account, where do i look?
Or do i have to ask the FI team for the G/L account which has been assigned to that particular Valuation class.???

Material groups, valuation classes and GL acccounts

HI Gurus,
I need to setup new material groups with descriptions, valuaiton classess and their related GL accounts. What steps do i nned to follow.
PLease explain '
Thanks
Anusha

Go to transacition OMSF to define the material group
Go to transaciotn OMSK to define the valuation class
here you can define or use existing A/C ategory reference than create valuation calss and assign the A/C category to that valution class and next step you can assign the material type
G/L account you can define in FS00 transaciotn and you can assign them to the valution class in OBYC transcation.

Material Groups and assocaited valuation class and cost element.

Hi Gurus
Please help
I can see in the config the material group and associated valuation class is for Items without a materisl master, however where is the cost element derived, as I cannot see this data anywhere.
Regards

Hi
For some POs on cost center, (account assignment category K for example), you should have to enter a material group.
In configuration, you will assign a valuation class to these material groups (in spro, tcode OMQW). SAP will derive the cost element by reading table T030 (tcode OBYC) for the given valuation class.
