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

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.

Valuation grouping code account determination

We currently have 25 plants (valuation areas) setup using one chart of accounts and a common valuation grouping code for account determination. We now have a need to change one of the plants to use different accounts than the other 24 for the GBB transaction. I can see that transaction OMWD allows me to enter a different valuation group code by plant; so I've entered a different code for the plant we want to change. I then go into OBYC, double-click on GBB and I can see all the accounts set up. From here, if I press the 'rules' button I can see the options to base account determination on. Currently, the 'valuation modification' checkbox is unchecked - I believe this has to be checked in order to use the valuation grouping code.
I'm a little unclear on how to setup the different accounts for the valuation grouping code I've assigned to my one plant. When I checked the 'valuation modification' checkbox and save, I get a message 'the current account determination will be deleted if the rules are changed'. I've done this in a sandbox environment and it certainly does delete all the accounts setup for GBB! But it does then give me the option to enter the valuation grouping code, which is what I need to enter different accounts.
Am I doing this correctly and in the right sequence? Is there a way to save the current values in GBB so they don't go away when I choose 'valuation modification'?

Hi,
What your are doing is correct.
As you mentioned above if you want a different G/L for Plant they you have to change the valuation grouping code. As per Std.SAP when you change the rules in OBYC the existing G/L assignment will get deleted. Hence Please take a copy of the same before you carryout the changes in OBYC rules settings, so that you can maintain the correct G/Ls based on valuation grouping code as existed by checking the file which you have taken as a backup + the new Val.group code,val class & G/L assignment.
Thanks & Regards,

Hi Leslie,
Based on your problem statement, if all the 25 plants are associated to a valuation grouping code, ideally your GBB key should have had the valuation modifier checked in the rules.
If it were not checked, then your current account determination for GBB key will get deleted when you add or delete a rule. Reason being the characteristics for account determination have now changes. Example, if you account determination is based on Valuation class as well, then earlier GBB had Valuation Classs/ Account but with the new rule it will have Valuation Mod./Valuation Class/ Account. SAP can't automatically map your previous account determination to the new account determination.
Best way to move forward is to take a screenshot or save your account determination from Table T030. Make changes to the rule. Then redo the account determination by refrecing the account determination that you saved before.

How to allocate new g/l acouts for each plant

hai gurus
i am new to mm
here is a scenario
our client has 4 plants at different locations.he wants to maintain different g/l accounts for each plant.valuation area is plant and valuation grouping code is different for all plants.how can we assign different g/l accounts for each plant with same chart of account
pl clarify my doubt

Hi Ranjith,
Not advice to create different G/L accounts for different plant for same chart of account fo same transaction.Its Ok you are having different valuation areas plantwise,its also not even adviceable to go for different valuation grouping Code.So when you are mataining only one G/L account, the value will be recorded in that G/L account only but it will valuate the goods for diffrent valuation areas(Plantwise)
But if you want to go as u have explained,then in that case you have to create four G/L accounts for each tranaction event key.With different valuation grouping Code,same transaction event key assign different G/L acccount in automatic account assignment OBYC.
If helpful answer then reward with points.

Valuation grouping Code and Group together valuation area

Hi,
I wan tto know what is mean by Valuation grouping code in our system for all valuation area it is 0001 can we create seperate account determination for different plant to same company code or for one company we can create only one account determination process.

Hi,
The account determination can be done at sprommvaluation and account assignment ---account dtermination ---with out wizard.
The valuation grouping code makes it easier to set automatic account determination. Within the chart of accounts, you assign the same valuation grouping code to the valuation areas you want to assign to the same account.
Valuation grouping codes either reflect a fine distinction within a chart of accounts or they correspond to a chart of accounts.
Within a chart of accounts, you can use the valuation grouping code
Example:
The valuation areas 0001 and 0002 are assigned to company codes which use the same chart of accounts. For both valuation areas, however, you would like to define a different account determination.
You must assign different valuation grouping codes (for example, 0011 and 0022) to both valuation areas
Example:
Valuation areas 0003 and 0004 are assigned to company codes which use the same chart of accounts. Account assignment for both valuation areas should be similar.
You assign the same valuation grouping code (for example, 0033) to both valuation areas. Thus, you only have to define account assignment for both valuation areas once.

Is there any Impact if we change the Valuation Grouping code.

We have 2 valuation grouping codes
0001 For US plant and 0002 for Europe
For 0001 GR/IR clearing is 200000
For 0002 GR/IR clearing is 200001
We have 2071 plant is there it is assigned only for company code 430.
It is belongs to Europe plant. But they are assigned to 0001valuation grouping code.
Now they want to change the valuation grouping code for CC 430 from 0001 to 0002.
I have verified in OBYC transaction for 0001 and 0002 all the valuation classes and GL accounts are same, exepet GR/IR clearing account.
After changing the grouping code it will change the GR/IR account for CC430.
If you need more information please let me know.
Thanks

Valuation group code in Account determination?

Hii
I have 4 company codes in implementaion.
I have to create 4 different valuation group or i can use 0001 for all 4 company codes ??
In account determination we have to configuration setting for Group together valuatuion area??
So explain me with my example , how accounting will happen in 4 company code , if i have sa,e 0001 valuation group code ??
Or i should seperate ??
Thanks

Hi,
A valuation grouping code consists of a group of valuation areas that can have same account determination in a specific chart of account. It is a tool that enables us to configure the automatic account determination with a minimum of effort.
If we activate the valuation grouping code in configuration process, we have to assign a valuation grouping code to each valuation area.
By activating and using the valuation grouping code, we donu2019t have to configure account determination for each valuation area (that is a plant or company code) if we donu2019t want to differentiate it for each valuation area. If we want the automatic account determination within a chart of accounts runs differently for valuation areas, we can assign different valuation grouping codes to these valuation areas
We 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.
For example, if we want to differentiate the account determination for a group of two plants with another group of other three plants in a company code (where the valuation level is plant), we can assign a valuation grouping code for the group of two plants and another valuation grouping code for the group of other three plants. By doing so, we just have to configure the account determination for the two valuation grouping codes, no need for five valuation areas (plants).

Changing Valuation Grouping Code

We Have a plant for which the valuation grouping code is wrongly assigned, The Plant is active for Quite a period of time. Now the valuation grouping code needs to be changed. Can anybody update the exact procedure to be followed before the change can be done.

Hi,
Valuation grouping code is used for grouping valuation area. As in your system assigned ieu2026u2026u2026..For example different valuation grouping code is used for different for plants.
Valuation grouping code........valuation area
0001.........................................PL01(Plant-1)
0002u2026u2026u2026u2026u2026u2026u2026u2026u2026u2026PL02(Plant-2)
1st find out why it used & may be used for to have different G/L posting with respect to plant for the same material during transactions.
Before changing Valuation grouping code, ensure from business user all requirements & have consult with FICO consultant as all posting start with triggering from valuation grouping code which assigned to plant in OMWD t.code. After all, if business needs to change valuation grouping code, which you can do easily but need to do all testing for all transactions posting
in all modules and validate all account posting by FICO consultant followed by business owner.

DIF & KDR keys valuation grouping code wise

Hi Friends,
Is it possible to assign G/L accounts valuation grouping code wise for DIF & KDR account keys in OBYC
Regards
Rajesh A

Hi,
Unfortunately these transaction event keys don't have the option of switching on the valuation area group in the Rules settings.
SAP have, for some reason, decided that these should not be able to be configured to use different GL numbers per valuation area group (in your case company code).
I can only assume that there is some accounting logic behind this because they allow you to do it with other T event Keys?
The settings are bound to be controlled the event key tables and these really are best left alone unless you really HAVE to do this.
Sorry if this is not much help.

Valuation group code

Dear all
Can you tell us , we are not getting the valuation group code at Account grouping in movement types. But Valuation area is assigned in group at OMWD. So that error is getting as G/l account requires an CO object
What will we need to do for this

Hi
If valuation grouping code is active then you need to maintain the same in the account determination in OBYC.
In the movemnet types account grouping code will not show the Valuation grouping code.
The error you are getting is due to the usage of Cost elemnt G/L account.
In which transaction you are getting the error, Please elaborate
