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!!

    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.

  • What is Account Assignment Model & Sample Document ?

    Hi Friends
    What is Account Assignment Model & Sample Document ?
    Thanks
    Neha

    Hi,
    Account Assignment Model:
    Account Assignment Model is a reference for document entry that provides default values for posting business transactions. An account assignment model can contain any number of G/L account items and can be changed or supplemented at any time. In contrast to sample documents, the G/L account items for account assignment models may be incomplete.
    Use
    During document entry you can change, add to, or delete the proposed data. You can also call up any number of account assignment models and switch from a model to standard item entry procedure and back again.
    You can also assign equivalence numbers to account assignment models. In this case, you simply enter a total amount which is then distributed to the items within the model according to set ratios.
    Account assignment models can also be used across company codes and can include company codes from non-SAP systems. If you do not enter a company code when using an account assignment model, the last company code used is proposed.
    Sample documents:
    Sample documents are the data sources for an accounting document. Sample documents have a separate number range. Their advantage is that you can change or enhance them. You therefore use a sample document rather than an accounting document if you need a reference document for which you want to define the layout yourself.
    When you enter and post a sample document, the system stores the document, but does not update any transaction figures. Your system administrator defines a number range for sample documents. The system assigns a number from this number range to each sample document.
    I hope it will help.
    If helpful, please assign points.

    Then you'll have to use another iOS device or Mac running OS X Lion or higher to create a new account for you to use on your phone.  If you don't have one, perhaps a friend would allow you to create and account on their device (note: this will use one of their three maximum accounts).  To do this, they would need to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account (which will delete the account from their device but not from iCloud), then allow you to sign back in with your ID to create the new account.  Then tap Delete Account to delete the new account from their device, and finally, sign back in with their iCloud ID to restore their iCloud account to their device.  Then you can sign in with your ID on your phone in Settings>iCloud and use the new account.

  • How do I find out what itunes account an app was bought on?

    Hello,
    I have a few apps that I can't synch with my new phone. I have no idea what iTunes account they were bought on.
    Is there any way to find out without having to log on any account (maybe in the info of the file or something...?) ?
    Thank you!

    If they are in the Apps part of your computer's iTunes library then you should be able to select/highlight one of them and do 'get-info' (control-I) and the account that owns the app should show on the File tab (Summary tab on older versions of iTunes) on the popup.
    As long as the account is authorised on your computer's iTunes (Store > Authorise This Computer menu option) then you should be able to sync them to your phone.

  • What is account key and where do i define them?

    hello,
    what is account key and where do i define them? which transaction?
    Thanks

    Hai Shilpa,
    1) You can create Account Keys in OBCN t.code this is used for Tax Procedure purpose
    2) Secnond one is the u can create in FI-SD integration purpose
    You define your account keys in this menu option and allocate them to the condition types in the pricing procedures.With the account keys, you group together similar accounts in financial accounting. Using the account key, the SAP System finds the desired G/L accounts.This way you can allocate a separate account key to each condition type within a pricing procedure to implement detailed revenue account determination.For example, you can allocate a freight condition to a freight revenue account, or a surcharge for packaging costs to a corresponding account for packaging revenues.
    u2022ERF freight revenues
    u2022ERL revenues
    u2022ERS sales deductions
    u2022EVV cash settlement
    u2022MWS sales tax
    SPRO u2192 REF IMG u2192 Sales and Distribution u2192 Basic Functions u2192 Account Assignment/Costing  u2192  Revenue Account Determination  u2192 Define and Assign Account Keys

  • What is account group? how to definf

    what is account group? how to definf

    Dear deva
    You must assign each account to an account group. The account group ensures that only the relevant screens and fields are displayed and ready for input for each of the customer’s different partner functions. For example, the address, communication, and bank data fields are omitted for the account group for one-time accounts.
    You maintain the account groups in Customizing (IMG), or copy the defaulted account groups.
    The account group controls:
    The type of number assignment used for the account number
    A number interval from which the account number is chosen. The system uses the account number to identify the customer.
    Which fields are displayed when you enter or change customer master data and whether or not an entry must be made in these fields (field status)
    Whether the account is a one-time account
    To create a master record, you have to specify an account group. The account group cannot be changed once you have created the master record. Your system administrator, however, can change the above account group specifications.
    For more information about account group specifications, see the Define Account Groups with Screen Layout activity in the Implementation Guide (IMG) for Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable.
    For instance, if you implement Sales and Distribution (SD) after implementing Financial Accounting (FI), changes to an account group may be necessary if you wish to add fields that were previously hidden in the master record.

  • What is Account-Based Costing ?

    Hi,
         Can anyone tell me, what is Account-based costing? What is role of it ?

    Hi,
    Two forms of Profitability Analysis are supported: costing-based and account-based.
    Costing-based Profitability Analysis is the form of profitability analysis that groups costs and revenues according to value fields and costing-based valuation approaches, both of which you can define yourself. It guarantees you access at all times to a complete, short-term profitability report.
    Account-based Profitability Analysis is a form of profitability analysis organized in accounts and using an account-based valuation approach. The distinguishing characteristic of this form is its use of cost and revenue elements. It provides you with a profitability report that is permanently reconciled with financial accounting.
