Below is from Help file

Determination of Contract Account in ERP System    

In the ERP system, the determination of the contract account from a generic contract account key (from any external system) takes place in the BAdI FKKINV_BAPIBILL. This program model also applies for CRM invoicing as source system. A customer implementation of the method CONTRACT_ACCOUNT_DETERMINE for BAdI FKKINV_BAPIBILL is required.

Procedure

If the master data was actually replicated, add the following program lines:

METHOD IF_EX_FKKINV_BAPIBILL~CONTRACT_ACCOUNT_DETERMINE.

  DATA: wa_fkkvkp TYPE fkkvkp.

  CLEAR wa_fkkvkp.

  SELECT * FROM  fkkvkp

                  INTO  wa_fkkvkp

                  WHERE guid EQ x_cont_acct_id.

    EXIT.

  ENDSELECT.

  IF NOT wa_fkkvkp IS INITIAL.

    MOVE: wa_fkkvkp-vkont TO xy_cont_acct,

          wa_fkkvkp-gpart TO xy_buspartner.

  ENDIF.

1. ENDMETHOD.

You have to differentiate between the source systems since there is no master data replication between a non-SAP system and the ERP system. You may have to evaluate a customer table that contains the information.

Hi

The service contract or service order in CRM should have the business agreement.

Then system could decide which Contract Account to post.

But not 100% sure on this.

Hi,

In CRM system you have a provison to map G/L accounts to the condition types based on the sales organization. The system uses this settings to post values to respective G/L's based on the mapping while creating an accounting document for CRM billing.
