Since the posting transaction "Offsetting entry for inventory posting" is used for
different transactions (for example, goods issue, scrapping, physical inventory),
which are assigned to different accounts (for example, consumption account,
scrapping, and expense/income from inventory differences), it is necessary to
divide the posting transaction according to a further key: account grouping code.
An account grouping is assigned to each movement type in inventory
management which uses the posting transaction "Offsetting entry for inventory
posting".
Under the posting transaction "Offsetting entry for inventory posting", you must
assign G/L accounts for every account grouping, that is, assign G/L accounts.

key.
