Account determination for entry GBB VNG class 7920 not possible

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I want to scrap a finish product (inventory class 7920) and use movement type 551. I also set up under OMJJ MT 551 the GL account as required field and the cost center and order number as optional that we can enter a scrapping account and cost center or order number manually during the scrap posting.. When i post the GI with MB1A the account field, cost center and order number are ready to enter the information. So why is sap checking the automatic account assignment when i enter the posting information like account, cost center, order number manually while posting with MB1A?

When i maintain in OBYC the expense account for GBB VNG than the error message does not appear and i can post.

But it is not clear to me why i have to maintain this entry in OBYC when i manually assign the GL expense account and order number or cost center?

thanks for your help in advance.

You have to maintain the GL account in OBYC settings, since the system will check for the GL account in OBYC and if you have manually entered the GL account at the time of posting in MB1A the system will overright the GL account entered manually with the GL account maintained in the OBYC (GBB- VNG) setting. This is the standard system behavior.

Hello Kline,

What you are facing is a Std. SAP behaviour.

It's mandatory to maintain the G/L for OBYC - GBB - VNG for automatic account determination. However if you change the G/L in MB1A/MIGO transaction while posting the material document system will give precedence to this manual entry. This is based on the following settings in OMJJ - Mov.type - Account grouping.

Check account assignment

Indicates that the account assignment is checked.

Use

If this indicator is set, the system checks whether a G/L account or an account assignment has been specified on the item screen. If so, the system copies this data to the posting line.

If this indicator is not set, the system always uses the G/L accounts or account assignments determined automatically.

Thanks n Regards,

It appears system check the completeness of the configuration before it take the GL from the MB1a screen.

once you assign the requisite GL in obyc, you can see that the posted document has the GL specified in the input screen.

Similar behavior can be seen for GBB VBR too when you use movemnt type 201

Hi Kline,

But it is not clear to me why i have to maintain this entry in OBYC when i manually assign the GL expense account and order number or cost center? --> this is very basic question of Automatic Account Determination.

Pls try to understand the logic : The system checks the movement type & accout modifer assigned to it..551 mvt. type has VNG a/c modifier. It is assigned with GBB. System checks valuation class from material code.

So, you need to assign GL for GBB-VNG with valuation class in OBYC.

Hope this is clear.

Hi,

You can assign inventory class 7920 to  GBB- VNG key with G/L account  and valuation grouping code in t.code:OBYC.

During scrapping of material for  finish product (with inventory class 7920) with t.code:MB1A, just enter cost center and save the document.

Now cross check accouting entries - see the G/L account for scrapping triggers against G/L account of inventory of finish product

Dear Kline,

Its related to finance concepts. Double book entry.

Logic is when you post an entry into one account, the same will be updated in another G/L.

In your case, its related to Inventory only (BSX). so GBB (Offsetting entry for inventory posting) will be triggered.

For payment related inventory (BSX), WRX (GR/IR clearing account) will be triggered.
