Automatic posting of transaction types to GR/IR account

[Former Member]

All,

I recently changed the GR/IR account (OBYC->WRX) to a new account i created. I mirrored the previous account with an acception of "balance in local currency" and its flagged for "open item management". When I execute MIGO and check the items posted to the new GR/IR account I see that the transaction type (consolidation) didn't not post for the GR/IR account but did post to the Merchandise account. Before I switched GR/IR accounts postings did post with transaction types through MIGO. Can someone point me into the direction of where this configuration takes place? I tried flagging the trans type as "required" for the field status variant for the 86/96 posting keys but this wouldn't allow me to process the MIGO. Thanks.

All,

I figured out that the team who conficured the system setup a substitution rule for the previous account specified for GR/IR. The substitution rule stated that for acount 3XX1 transaction type '120' was the default. I had to change the account to 3XX3 and now when the MIGO is done it post to the correct GR/IR account. Thank you for all of your help.

Dear :

Please check out the correct valuation group i-e t valuation grouping code that determines the G/L accounts to which a goods movement is posted ( automatic account determination) for WRX which is assigned to it and the valuation class assigned. Check are they correctly assigned.

Hi,

We have no rules specified for this particular transaction (WRX) just that account determination is flagged and there is one GR/IR account linked to it. Now there are valuation classes linked to other transactions such as BSX and GBB. Is this what you were refering to?

Dear:

You will have to define rules and valuation classes for transaction posting. Valuation class will specify the group of material against which posting will be made. Unless you do not specify the valuation class for which you are making posting in MIGO you will not be able to proceed. In Rules tick debit/credit indicator along with valuation modification and valuation class. Hopefully your issue will be resolved.

Hi,

The issue is that when i switched the GL account that was initially assigned in WRX to the new account the transaction type stopped populating. I was wondering if there is a step I'm missing concerning the GL account setup or what have you. I tested the rules process and it didn't alleviate my issue. Thanks in advance!

Dear:

Please first compare the GL A/c new and old one master data configuration. If there are any variation then correct them. Normally GRIR A/Cs are made on open item basis. Check out for the field status groups which SPA has provided by default G045. Check out for any variation between master data of two GLs. If there is any correct it.

Hi,

I checked the GL accounts. I even re created the old GL account in testing and ran transaction MIGO. I also changed the field status variants, selected consolidation trans. type as required but nothing seems to work. I'm still not getting a transaction type to populate. Could there possibly a table in the background where all of this information is pulling from?

Hi

I suggest to read SAP Note 308008 - FAQ: Posting logic: GR/IR clearing account. For instance, you see also SAP Note 108844 - Purch. offsetting accnt during GR&IR for subcontract order for other case of PO (subcontracting) although it is for older releases.
