Account Determination and Movement type

[Former Member]

Hello Experts,

From SD course, we know that account determination is Account Key + Account assignment groups for customer and material respectively + Sorg + COA.

So, what does it mean by this definition of Movement type:

"The movement type is a three-digit key used to differentiate between goods movements in the R/3 System. Examples of these goods movements are goods receipts, goods issues or transfer postings It plays a central role in Automatic Account determination"

This is related to revenue account determination. Normally carried out by SD personal using t.code VKOA.

This is related to inventory account update (quantity/value]. For example, when a goods issue is made, the value and quantity in the stock account needs to be reduced. The G/L account assignment is configured by MM personnel using t.code OBYC.
