You posted the invoice at the invoice price of $11.00/piece.
In the invoice, the tax rate for the input tax (*) is 10%.

Various transactions and events in MM are relevant for Accounting. These transactions and events
must be recorded in an accounting document that contains the postings made to the G/L accounts in
Financial Accounting.

As far as possible, the R/3 System should derive the G/L account numbers that are referred to in a
document of this type automatically.

Levels for Valuation and Acct Determination in MM

You assign a company code to a chart of accounts in Customizing for FI.

In transactions within the MM application, the valuation area is hidden. In Customizing, you can
choose whether the valuation area is the same as the company code or the same as the plant.
You must make this setting before creating materials and before entering transactions in MM
Inventory Management.
You can perform the G/L account assignment depending on the valuation area.

If a material is subject to split valuation, you can valuate partial stocks of this material at different
prices and manage them using separate accounts.

Depending on the various influencing factors
(the chart of accounts assigned, the business
transaction, the plant in which you are posting
the transaction, and possibly the material),
the program determines which G/L accounts it
has to make postings to.

You must assign a G/L account for

Chart of Accounts

Classification for recording of values or value flows to ensure correct rendering
of accounting data

You must assign a chart of accounts to each company code.

This is used as a key for account determination, to enable a differentiation for the
purposes of G/L account assignment.

You must configure automatic account determination separately for each chart of
accounts.

Both Financial Accounting and Cost and Revenue Accounting use the operational chart of accounts.
You can use the items in a chart of accounts to form an expense and revenue account in Financial
Accounting and simultaneously as cost elements or revenue elements in Cost and Revenue
Accounting.

As well as the operational chart of accounts, there can be:

a different country-specific chart of accounts that includes specific requirements of the law of the

particular country, and

a group chart of accounts that applies across the corporate group and includes specific

requirements pertaining to Consolidation.

Influencing Factor: Valuation Area

Valuation Grouping Code

Key for account determination that enables a differentiation for G/L account
assignment by valuation area within a chart of accounts

By activating or deactivating the valuation grouping codes, you can turn on or off
the dependency of the account determination function on the valuation area.

If you have activated the valuation grouping code, you must assign a code (any
code) to each valuation area.

You must configure automatic account determination separately for each
valuation grouping code within a chart of accounts.

The valuation grouping code is a tool that enables you to configure the automatic account
determination with a minimum of effort. Within a chart of accounts, valuation areas that are to be
treated in the same way in terms of account assignment are assigned to the same valuation grouping
code.

Valuation grouping codes either allow precise differentiation within a chart of account or correspond
to a single chart of accounts.

For each company code, you define the chart of accounts to be used. More than one company code
can use the same chart of accounts. You configure account determination separately for each chart of
accounts.

The valuation area is the level at which materials are valuated.
This corresponds either to a certain plant or to all plants belonging to a company code.

If you have set the valuation level at company code level, G/L accounts can not be assigned
according to plant.

The valuation grouping code is a tool that enables you to assign G/L accounts with a minimum of
effort. You assign valuation areas (in this case company codes) that are to be treated in the same way
in terms of account assignment to the same valuation grouping code. By using the same chart of
accounts, the assignment of different valuation grouping codes to two valuation areas (in this case
company codes) allows a different G/L account to be assigned to each valuation area (in this case
company code).

Valuation grouping codes either allow precise differentiation within a chart of accounts or
correspond to a single chart of accounts.

In the activity Define Valuation Control, you can activate the valuation grouping code.

Influencing factor: Material/Material Type

Valuation Class

Key for account determination that enables a differentiation for G/L account
assignment depending on the material

You assign materials to a valuation class for each valuation area on the
Accounting view.

You can use the assignment of allowed valuation classes to the material type
(indirectly) to enter restrictions.

The valuation class is a key for grouping materials that have the same account determination. If
different accounts are to be posted according to valuation class in a transaction, the account
determination for this transaction is to be set as dependent on the valuation class.

The allowed valuation classes depend on the material type. More than one valuation class can be
allowed for a material type.

More than one material type can be allowed for a valuation class.

The relationship between valuation classes and material types is established by the account category
reference. The account category reference is a compilation of valuation classes. A material type is
assigned to only one account category reference.

The account category reference is the grouping term for account determination based on the material
type.

You can assign more than one valuation class to an account category reference.

You assign each material type that is subject to quantity-based and value-based inventory
management to an account category reference (mandatory).
When you maintain the accounting data for a material of this material type, you can choose one of
the valuation classes defined for the corresponding account category reference.
The R/3 System determines the G/L account for this material according to the settings for this
valuation class.

If a material is subject to split valuation, the R/3 System determines the account using the valuation
class for the valuation type record (see information later in this unit).

Influencing Factor: Business Transaction (1)

Transaction

Key for account determination that symbolizes the business transaction

Posting transactions for MM are fixed. You use the transaction key to control
if the R/3 System is to make a posting to a stock account, a price difference
account, a GR/IR clearing account, and so on.

In the R/3 System, posting transactions are defined for each transaction in Materials Management
that is relevant for Accounting. General posting records are assigned to each transaction or event in a
“value string”.

Instead of definite G/L account numbers, this value string contains transaction keys for the relevant
posting transaction. The first transaction key for a posting rule usually stands for the debit posting.

The posting transactions for the transactions in Inventory Management and Invoice Verification that
are relevant for accounting are fixed. Posting records are assigned to each relevant movement type in
Inventory Management and to each transaction in Invoice Verification. These posting records are
generalized in a value string (posting rule). Instead of fixed G/L account numbers, this contains keys
for the respective posting transaction (such as BSX for a stock posting and PRD for a price
difference posting).

You do not need to define these transaction keys, the R/3 System determines them from the
transaction (in Invoice Verification) or from the movement type (in Inventory Management). You
only need to assign to each posting transaction the account to which it is posted.

You can see the assignments of value strings to goods movements and the breakdown of the value
string into transaction keys in Customizing for Inventory Management and Physical Inventory, but
you can not change them.

In Customizing for Valuation and Account Assignment, you specify G/L accounts for the various
posting transactions.

In the standard system, value string WE01 is assigned to goods receipts (and also cancellations and
return deliveries) for Standard and Subcontracting purchase order items without account assignment
concerning valuated material into stock.

In the case of (valuated) goods receipts for purchase order items not subject to account assignment,
post the items to a stock account using the transaction key BSX and make an offsetting entry to a
GR/IR clearing account.

A price difference posting (transaction key PRD) is only used if the valuated material is subject to
standard price control and if the order price (or invoice price) is different from the standard price.

Transaction key KDM is required in Inventory Management for purchase orders in foreign
currencies because of differences in exchange rates between goods receipts and invoice receipts,
unless the material can not be debited or credited because it is subject to standard price control.

The transaction keys EIN and EKG (and possibly FRE – see account determination for delivery
costs) are only used in company codes where purchase account management is active (as required in
France and Belgium for example).

The transaction keys BSV, FRL, and FRN are only used for the Subcontracting item category.

Influencing Factor: Business Transaction (2)

Account Grouping

Key for account determination that enables a G/L account assignment
differentiation for the offsetting entry for an inventory posting (transaction BSX)
and possibly other transactions

Depending on the movement type and the special stock indicator, you can assign
an account grouping (any account grouping) for individual transactions (such as
GBB, PRD, ...).

Since you use the posting transaction Offsetting entry for inventory posting for various transactions
(such as goods issue, scrap, physical inventory), and these transactions should be assigned to
different accounts (such as consumption accounts, scrap accounts, expense/revenue from physical
inventory differences), it is essential to subdivide the posting transaction according to another key -
the account grouping.

Account grouping is a key that allows you to subdivide number assignments for each transaction key
in account determination.

In Materials Management in the standard system, account grouping is only active for transaction key
GBB (Offsetting entry for inventory posting).

You assign an account grouping to each movement type in Inventory Management that uses the
posting transaction Offsetting entry for inventory posting.

As well as the Offsetting entry for inventory posting, you can also use account grouping for other
transactions (such as price differences) for further differentiation of account number assignments,
depending on the movement type, if required in your company.

The value strings contain keys for the posting transactions that can lead to G/L account updates in
the case of a posting relevant for Accounting. SAP predefines these value strings.

You can configure the automatic postings depending on the other influencing variables for each of
these posting transactions.

You can differentiate between certain posting transactions on a transaction-specific basis using an
account grouping code.

You can change the account grouping for transactions in Inventory Management, depending on the
movement type and other indicators (for example, special stock indicators).

The account grouping cannot be changed for transactions in Invoice Verification

Simulation

The simulation that you can call up in the Configure Automatic Postings activity shows you the G/L
accounts assigned according to:

• The material or valuation class specified

• The plant specified

• The Inventory Management or Invoice Verification transaction specified

You can choose between:

• Material number input and valuation class input (input mode)

• Inventory Management or Invoice Verification transactions (application area)

Additionally, the SAP system can check whether the assigned accounts actually exist depending on
your settings when you call up the simulation function.

During the simulation, all transaction keys for the relevant value string are taken into account,
irrespective of whether or not they have any significance to your company code transaction (for
example, EIN, EKG, FRL).

In the simulation, you can check the compatibility of the field selection for the selected movement
type and the field selection for the assigned accounts (report RM07CUFA).
Warning: The basis for validity is the account for the offsetting entry.

Define valuation classes

For detailed information, call up the documentation on this activity.

The account category reference is used to simplify the assignment of
permitted valuation classes to the material type. This provides the ‘bridge’
between the material type and the allowed valuation classes for the material
type.

TSCM52

22-60

The valuation class enables assignment to accounts on a basis specific to the
material type and material. Along with other factors, the valuation class
determines the G/L accounts to be updated as a result of a valuation-relevant
transaction (for example, a goods movement).

2-2

New Valuation Class
2-2-1 You need to define separate valuation classes for the materials of material

type GR##.

There are two options for defining this.

1. Define a new valuation class and assign that to the existing account

category reference 0001 (for raw materials, as an example). Since this
account category reference is also assigned to the new material type, the
new valuation class will be available for entry in the accounting view.
However, the selection of this new valuation class in the accounting
view of the material master record will have to be managed
administratively, since using this option, there are multiple valuation
classes available for the account category reference 0001.

2. To ensure that only this new valuation class is available for entry in the

accounting view for this material type, it would be necessary to create a
new account category reference. Next, create a new valuation class, and
assign it to the new account category reference. Lastly, assign this new
account category reference to the material type GR##.
Using this option, it will be mandatory for any material assigned to the
material type GR## to use the new valuation class.
In either option, you assign the G/L accounts depending on the new
valuation class.

2-2-2 You can only implement this by using a separate account category reference

(option 2).
