Configuration Settings for Automatic Account Determination:

1. Define Valuation Control - Valuation Grouping Code is active

2. Group Together Valuation Areas - Grouping of valuation areas to single Valuation

grouping code

0001 - 1001,1002, etc

3. Define Valuation Classes

A. Account Category Reference - We need to create no of ACR equal to no of
Material Types
B. Valuation Class- Assign required valuation classes to ACR
C. Material Type/ACR- Material Type is assigned to Account Category
Reference

Material Type - Different valuation classes

A-B, B-C ---> A-C

4. Define Account Grouping for Movement Types - As per standard system, we wont
make any changes in this configuration step until we create any new movement type.

5. Configure Automatic Postings - T Code is OBYC

This is the important configuration step in Automatic account determination. In

this step, valuation class is assigned to G/L accounts.

Valuation Modifier = Valuation Grouping Code

Material Valuation Class Stock G/L -BSX Consumption G/L -

GBB-VBR

1851 3000 300010 400000

Testing:

Goods Receipt - 101- 300010

Goods Issue- 201- Consumption Account - 400000, Stock account is 300010

Different elements and its effects in Automatic Account Determination:

1. Material Type: Material Type is assigned to valuation classes through Account

Category reference. This makes to see relevant valuation classes of a material type
during creation of Material but not all the list of Valuation classes

2. Material Group: When we create Service or other POs without service master or
material master, valuation classes can be assigned to Material group to get G/L
accounts automatically.

3. Valuation Grouping Code: This is useful to group many similar valuation areas
which will be useful to prevent entries in OBYC.

4. Movement Type: Different movement types are given by SAP for different goods
movements. In standard configuration of SAP, movement types are assigned to general
modifiers and transaction keys which are used to get required G/L accounts
as per goods movement
