Material Group and Account Determination

Former Member
0 Kudos

Hello,

Is it possible to configure automatic account determination depending on MATERIAL GROUP WITHOUT using valuation classes!

I have a request to assign Material Groups to G/L Accounts (for NON-stock POs and Stock POs)

Each Material Group requires a different specific G/L account, is this possible without using

different valuation classes:

Material Group 4751100 Advert Costs needs to be assigned to G/L account 4751100

Material Group 4751500 Marketing Costs need to be assigned to G/L account 4751500

Etc.

Each material group requires a different G/L account!

Please advice

HI DAAN Peters

In SPRO , go to Material Management -- Purchasing --- Material Master --- Entry Aids for Items without Material Master. Here you ahve to give the valuation class per Material group. Then the system picks the valuation class from the Material Group and then goes to OBYC and picks the G/L a/c..

Assign me points if it helps.

Hi Peters

Those are normal. For Example for Consumption of Stock you have to give he G/L account in GBB etc.

Hope it helps.

One Important thing is that this is applicable only when there is no material master.

Thank you very much, the posting with the PO is fine now, however two issues...

I have created a specific Valuation Class for the above scenario and also a specific account assignment category for this (with no GR),

nevertheless when I create the invoice I cannot post it as SAP expects a GR/IR account determination.

Which I do not want as it is only POs (two-way matching) with no GR...

Other issue is do can default in one account assignment, how is it possible to determine more G/L accounts determined on the Material Group.

thanks

Hello,

Very helpful, however does this mean if we have 150 material groups with a different account, for example:

material 475100 G/L account 475100

material 475200 G/L account 475200

etc.

we have to set up and maintain 150 valuation classes ?

Please tell me that there is a more constructive solution.

Thanks,

Hi Daan,

Would you please share the solution. I have the same request.

In fact, when entering PO, user do not want to specify Material, only text and material group. Then valuation class will be determined from table T023. BUT, the question is : How the system could determine the G/L Account then ? I Know somewhere from OBYC but how exactly the system identify the transaction (for example GBB) and the general modif...

Thanks

Hi,

The general process happens this way, once all the configuration is done in OBYC,

creation of MIRO->check the PO & GR for the corresponding material->material group where the material belong->checks the valuation class or valuation modif ( only if plant wise GL account are maintained)-> GL account corresponding to Valuation class is posted.

this is the general flow.Hope it helps.

Hi,

If the requirement is to post to different GL codes for a Valuation Class within a Plant or a Company Code, please try the below steps:

1. Create Valuation Grouping Code in OMWD.

2. Assign the GL code in OBYC under GBB with a combination of Valuation Grouping Code and Valuation Class.

To know the pre-requisites, please go through the documentation in the path IMG-Materials Management-Valuation and Account Assignment-Account Determination-Account Determination Without wizard-Group Together Valuation Types.

Hi daan & tarek,

You may done that configuration on material group can be happen, but still the key into GL is only with valuation class and there is no other way as per i know.

Structure about how made material group synchronize with valuation class to GL then it precisely depend on your user requirement.

hope helps

Hello,

Thanks but no one answered to my question

I Know with material group we could identify the valuation class

My question is : how exactly the system identify that combination in OBYC (the transaction (for example GBB) and the general modif in OBYC) ?

Thanks
