Hi Joseph

When you define material master you specify material type and valuation class in accounting

view

In IMG-->Materials Management-->Valuation and Account Assignment-->Account

Determination-->Account Determination Without Wizard-->Group Together Valuation Areas

you specify mapping of Valuation Area (normally plant) ,Company Code , Chart of Accounts and

Valuation Grp Code

In IMG-->Materials Management-->Valuation and Account Assignment-->Account

Determination-->Account Determination Without Wizard-->Define Valuation Classes

Here you mapped valuation class and material type which you enter creating material master

Now goto IMG-->Materials Management-->Valuation and Account Assignment-->Account

Determination-->Account Determination Without Wizard-->Configure Automatic Postings

Suppose you are doing good receipt for purchase order

so goto key BSX

double click on it

system will ask for chart of accounts enter "INT" for eg

system will ask for mapping between valuation class and GL account

so when you create GR for PO, system finds valuation class from material you enter
Then from movement type of GR i.e 101 system finds the key BSX

then system goes to key BSX in config we have defined n searches for valuation class which we have input in material and then returns GL account

Happy to help

Hi,

Posting key can be find in OB41 t.code where it determine whether a line item is a debit or credit with

with  possible field status control for the transaction!

For account determination, you have direct and indirect vital components!

The direct vital components are chart of account, valuation grouping code,

account groping code, valuation class,transaction event key and posting keys.

The indirect vital components are account category reference(OMSK)and valuation area(OX14), where account category

reference allows the flexibility for linking of material type with possible valuation class.

So when you carry out any transaction with movement type ,where material type present in material

master which links with valuation class through account category reference(OMSK) which then movement

type links transaction event key(OMWN) resulting accounting entries (which G/L account is/are assigned in OBYC)
