account key and accrual key

[Former Member]

Hi,

i got the help from the forum. now getting clear but i still not able to get the answer of the below.

1) if only have account key (NO accrual key defined) in M/08, may i know what is the posting like?

gross amount $1000

freight $20

a) net is $1000

or

b) net is $1020

2) to me, account key also has GL account linked to it, just like accrual key, to me, it is similar to accrual key but from explanation they are different. so i still cannot have a clear understanding of account key.

thanks

Hi,

Condition type with value becomes accrual, if you select accrual check box in control data-2 for condition type in t.code: M/06 not in M/08 t.code. If accrual check box selected  in control data-2 for condition type , then PO NET VALUE is $1000 as per your example.

2) to me, account key also has GL account linked to it,

Here for your case accrual key makes difference!

Hi Biju,

Now i confused again of your reply of point 1.

1 are you saying that

if only account key (no accrual in M/06) in M/08 then net value is $1020.

if accrual key defined in M/08 (tick accrual in M/06) then net is $1000?

2 if point 1 is what you mean, then i in doubt again. even account key also has GL account assigned. why not split?

thanks

Hi,

Unless you do in system , you will get confused.Go for following options and finally you will find your own answer.

Option-1: Do setting with condition types for  Pricing procedure as following(for example-1):

Count--Cond.Type--CondType Desption--From-TO--Subtotal---Reqment---CalTy--BasTy--Acc--Ac

10-----PB00-------Gross Price-Material---------------------------9---------------------------------------------------

20-----ZSER-------Gross Price-Service----------------------------------------11------------------------------

30-----ZDIS--------Discount---------------------------10--20-----------------------------------------------

40-----------------Subtotal ------------------------------10--30------------------------------------------------

50-----ZPAC-------Packaging & F charge--------40---------------------------------------------------------

60-----ZFR1-------Delivery cost1----------------------40------------------------------------------------------------

70-----ZFR2-------Delivery cost2----------------------40---------------------------------------------------------FR1

80-----------------TOTAL----------------------------------40--70------S----------------------------------

Create purchase order with value in  condition type ZFR2 and find the goods receipt account posting.

Option-2: Now activate the Purchase account management for your  Company code  in following path:

SPRO -> Materials Management-> Valuation and Account Assignment-> Account Determination-> Account Determination Without Wizard-> Purchase Account Management-> Activate Purchase Account in Company Code

Do setting with condition types for  Pricing procedure as following(for example-2):

Count--Cond.Type--CondType Desption--From-TO--Subtotal---Reqment---CalTy--BasTy--Acc--Ac

10-----PB00-------Gross Price-Material---------------------------9---------------------------------------------------

20-----ZSER-------Gross Price-Service----------------------------------------11------------------------------

30-----ZDIS--------Discount---------------------------10--20-----------------------------------------------

40-----------------Subtotal ------------------------------10--30------------------------------------------------

50-----ZPAC-------Packaging & F charge--------40---------------------------------------------------------

60-----ZFR1-------Delivery cost1----------------------40------------------------------------------------------------

70-----ZFR2-------Delivery cost2----------------------40-------------------------------------------------FRE----FR1

80-----------------TOTAL----------------------------------40--70------S----------------------------------

Again create purchase order with value in  condition type ZFR2 and find the difference on goods receipt account posting!

NOTE:

FR1 is used for the clearing account, means no accrual is defined for the condition's,FR2 is used for the provisions, means accruals are defined for the condition type. 

FRE is used only when purchase account management is active. When purchase account management is active, the freight cost is posted to revenue accounts.

Net will be $1000

Frieght will be 20$

Both will be added to your material cost..

hi,

this is my question.

if account key also can go to separate line, then what is the difference with accrual key?

thanks

[Former Member]

Accural key is used only in case of  provisions...

Like Tax Provisions, , rebate accruals etc.....

Account key will be used when you activated Purchase account management in company code.

But,it is valid for some contries only.Due to special legal requirements, this function was developed specially for certain countries

(Belgium, Spain, Portugal, France, Italy, and Finland).

There you have assign different GL's
