Why do you need Account Det. Procedure in GL Account Determination ..?

Question

Guys, I need following clarification for GL Account Determination....
While doing "Revenue Account Determination", one has to do "Define and Assign Account Determination Procedure". Now what I understand that in Acc. Determination Procedure, you can add more than one "Account Determination Types", which basically (if fully implemented) will bring back (via access seq) more than one GL Accounts. My question is, can you post one particular pricing condition type, in one billing line of a specific billing document, to more than one Revenue GL Account in FI. If yes, what that scenario would be?
I do understand that one can maintain just one Determination Type in each Acc Det Procedure, where you can have just one GL Account, however, since Procedure can handle more than one Determination Types (and hence GL Account), I was wondering that in which scenario it would fit.
Thanks

Answer 1

HI SR
The major difference between the KOFI & KOFK condition types are as follows
In standard accounting procedure there we have 2 condition types .They are as follows :
condition type                  Reqt
KOFI                               3
KOFK                             2
Usage of KOFI condition type
We will be using KOFK for generating controlling document
We wil be using KOFK when we go for Make to Order (MTO) process.
If you want to assign the KOFK to generate controlling document then you should assign the cost center , to your G/L accounts also
When the controlling document generate then for FI consultants it will be helpful to generate the report as per the requirement
Usage of KOFI condition type
We will be using KOFI for normal sales cycle only .
So the Stock whatever we deliver it will be a Make to stock (MTS)
