Thanks

Dear,
Unless u maintain valuation area with valuation grp code, you can not do automatic posting either issue or Recive of the material.
as Automatic Posting as Fundamental is as
Material Type
I
A/c ref Category <-> Valuation Class <-> G/L acct
one thing more, Different Valuation class with Similar General Modifier must be attach to Valuation Gr Modifier for Automatic Posting.
Details as
Valuation grouping code for the valuation area
If the automatic account determination within a chart of accounts is to run differently for certain company codes or plants (valuation areas), assign different valuation grouping codes to these valuation areas.
You must define the automatic account determination individually for every valuation grouping code within a chart of accounts. It applies to all valuation areas which are assigned to this valuation grouping code.
If the user enters a company code or a plant when entering a transaction, the system determines the valuation area and the valuation grouping code.
Before you maintain automatic postings, you must obtain the following information:
1. Valuation level (plant or company code)
Establish whether the materials are valuated at plant or at company code level
When valuation is at plant level, the valuation area corresponds to a plant. When
valuation is at company code level, the valuation area corresponds to a company
code.
2. Chart of accounts and valuation grouping code per valuation area
Find out whether the valuation grouping code is active.
Activate split valuation
If it is not active, determine the chart of accounts assigned to each valuation area
(via the company code). If it is active, determine the chart of accounts and the
valuation grouping code assigned to each valuation area. Group valuation areas
You must define a separate account determination process for chart of accounts
and each valuation grouping code.
3 Valuation class per material type
If you wish to differentiate the account determination process for specific
transactions according to valuation classes, find out which valuation classes are
possible for each material type Define valuation class
4. Account grouping for offsetting entries to stock accounts
Under Define account grouping for movement types, determine for which
movement types an account grouping is defined for the transaction/event keys
GGB (offsetting entry to stock posting), KON (consignment liabilities) and PRD
(price differences).
this may help u

    Hi Rajeev,
    1) Valuation class is a group where it holds G/L Accounts.
    2) Valuation area - where u valuate you materials & transactions may be at plant
        or co. code, most of the cases it is plant.
    3) Account Key - whenever a transaction happens in SAP like GR/GI it gets
        updated to G/L Account through this account key
    4) Valuation modifier - Within same Chart of accounts & valuation class you can
        further classify G/L accounts.
    T-CODE : OMSK
    PATH : SPRO -> MM->VALUATION & ACCT ASSIGNMENT->ACCT DETERMINATION ->ACCOUNT DETERMINATION WITHOUT WIZARD->
    In the above path you can the settings.

  • Diifferent Accounts based on Valuation Class /Material group  Shorttext -PO

    Hello Sapient
    We need to differentiate the Posting for short text PO . we want  the Asset  / Office supplies / Services to post in to a separate G/L Account .We seperate it by Material group , but the posting cannot be done by valuation class assigned to the material group . How can  we handle  the WRX using valuation class or by any method. what i am referring is all for PO without material master. .
    Thanks
    Jeevan

    Hi Jeevan,
    You are absolutely right. I am also facing the same problem. In our case also we do not have a material master. We have created a PO with short text and with a material group. We have assigned a valuation class to this material group.
    We have used account assignmed category "P" for the PO.
    For the debit posting i.e. for GBB-VBR its taking the GL account based on the valuation class, but for WRX its not taking the GL account with the valuation class.
    We want to have different GR/IR account (say 108) for domestic PO's and different GR/IR account (say 109) for Import PO's. We are not able to do this diffrentiation because in OBYC in WRX, while doing MIGO the system is picking only that GL account for which the Valuation class is blank.
    I don't think there is a solution to this. If you find any then pl
    pease let me know.
    But if you don't want to segregate the GL Accounts in WRX then the simple thing for you to do is in OBYC WRX maintain the GL account without Valuation class. Your problem will be resolved.

  • Valuation class & valuation grouping code

    Hi experts
    What is the difference between Valuation class and valuation grouping code?

    Hi,
    u2022 Valuation grouping code of the valuation area
    If the automatic account determination within a chart of accounts is to run differently for certain company codes or plants (valuation areas), assign different valuation grouping codes to these valuation areas.
    You must define the automatic account determination individually for every valuation grouping code within a chart of accounts. It applies to all valuation areas which are assigned to this valuation grouping code.
    If the user enters a company code or a plant when entering a transaction, the system determines the valuation area and the valuation grouping code.
    u2022 Valuation class of material or (in case of split valuation) the valuation type
    The valuation class allows you to define automatic account determination that is dependent on the material. for example: you post a goods receipt of a raw material to a different stock account than if the goods receipt were for trading goods, even though the user enters the same transaction for both materials.
    You can achieve this by assigning different valuation classes to the materials and by assigning different G/L accounts to the posting transaction for every valuation class.
    If you do not want to differentiate according to valuation classes you do not have to maintain a valuation class for a transaction.

  • First general valuation class/valuation class

    in spro, we assign general valuation group (GVC group) 3 to our product type/transaction type, but I have three general valuation class assigned to GVC group 3, when I create a deal, the general valuation class is greyed out and it is the first general val class 5 in the GVC group, so does it mean it will always get first general valuation class in the GVC group
    for general valuation class 5, we have several valuation class, may I know which valuation class is used for my deal, how can i check?

    There is no such configuration, as i mentioned earlier.
    It is hardcoded, predifined for combination of product type and transaction.
    Try to create 2 deals:
    1. Prod. type 51a deposit, transaction 100 Investment.
    2. Prod. type 51a deposit, transaction 200 Borrowing
    Try to think yourself about the result - if you invest in something - is it your asset or liability? and if you borrow something - is it your asset or liability?
    compare your result with the settings inside your deal - Envinroment -> Position indicator.
    Also think about this: if your deal is investment - this is your asset. so how can you classify it as liability. That's why there is no such configuration.

  • G/L account determination as per Valuation class in SD cycle

    Hi
    We know Valuation class is used in FI and MM integration. It determines the G/L accounts to be posted automatically (Ex Raw materail or Finised goods).
    The client requirement is that they want to post  diff G/L account per Valuation class in SD cycle .Second question if it is possible in SD then can we post it for a service material??
    If it is possible then how to configure it in VKOA.
    Regards
    Jyoti

    Hi
    ur concept is correct, means GL account is determine by valuation cless.
    bt this is nt the factor.
    Series is like that
    Material type-Ac category referance-Valuation class-Valuation category group-Transaction0Chart of accounts-Account modifer-value string-GL account.
    However simply u can create GL account By FS00.
    Bt Being a sd guy u hav to take a referance from MM or Fi guy and assign it to VKOA in real scenirio.

  • Hw to create new valuation class..?

    Hi gurus
    can anybody explain me how to create new valuation class for Some materials types eg finished goods.
    What is valuation class..? were to assign the valuation class after creation..?
    Thanks
    sap-mm

    Hi,
    Goto SPRO->IMG->Materials Management>Valuation and Account Assignment>Account Determination->Account Determination Without Wizard->Define Valuation Classes
    Valuation class means:
    Assignment of a material to a group of G/L accounts
    With other factors, the valuation class determines the G/L accounts that are updated as a result of a valuation-relevant transaction or event such as a goods movement.
    The valuation class makes it possible to:
    Post the stock values of materials of the same material type to different G/L accounts
    Post the stock values of materials of different material types to the same G/L account
    Account category reference is assigned to val.class and val.class is assigned to material type and g/l is assigned to v.class

  • Valuation Grouping Code same- Valuation Class different for each plant

    Hi All,
    We have 5 plants assigned to the company code. We have same Chart of Accounts (1000) and all the plants are grouped together to one valuation grouping code(001).
    Now if i extend the material codes to different plants, i am able to give each valuation class to each plant. So what is the use of giving same valuation grouping code for all plants?
    I expected some error message when i changed valuation class for another plant since all plant were grouped together to one valuation grouping code. Please explain.
    Regards,
    Rosh

    Hi Rosh,
    There is a meaning of grouping valuation areas using valuation grouping code
    e.g.   Plant 1000  valuation grouping code - 0001
             Plant 2000  valuation grouping code - 0002
    Lets say  you have 3010  valuation class for material A in both plants
    So while determining  GL account for BSX key following will be combination
    VGC / Valuation         modifierValuation class         GL
    0001                                       3010                        2000
    0002                                       3010                        3000
    Means using VGC  u can Differenciate account determination for plants under same Company code

    Go to transacition OMSF to define the material group

    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

  • Material groups-valuation classes combination

    Hello,
    I have material groups which are created for services, and they don't have a material code. When I purchase these materials, I enter the cost center as account assignment type, and the service I'm purchasing and the material group I mentioned for these services.
    Below, it asks the GL account. In order to avoid entering this GL account every time I purchase services, I want to combine these material groups to the valuation classes. And then those valuation classes and GL accounts will be combined in T030 table.
    Where could I do this combination through customizing this matching of valuation classes and the material groups?
    Thanks in advance
    Irem

    Hello forum!
    I customized a specific material group with a valuation class (transaction omqw).
    During a PO creation, the GL account is displayed by default when i enter a blank material and the material group that i previously customized.
    However, if I enter a material code with the specific material group, the field of the GL account is empty.
    Do you have any suggestions in order to have a default GL account at PO in the case that the material has a code but it has no valuation class?

  • 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.
