Let's look at the influencing factors one by one.
Depending on whether you are posting a goods issue to a cost center or a goods receipt with reference to a purchase order, for example, different posting schemas result:
The posting schema, that is the possible posting line types to be generated, is assigned to the movement type. You can view it in the movement type configuration.
Start the following interactive demo to learn more about the posting schema depending on the type of goods movement.
In the previous demo, we learned that when a goods issue is posted to a cost center, in addition to the stock account (transaction key BSX), an offsetting account is also updated, which is further specified by transaction key GBB plus account modification VBR. This explains columns 2 and 3 in the table above.
The valuation area is a logical organizational unit that structures a company for the purpose of uniform and complete valuation of material stocks. In SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition, each plant represents a valuation area.
This means that you can basically control automatic account determination per plant. You assign a valuation grouping code to each plant to group plants that should be treated the same for account determination. The valuation grouping code is an account determination key (see column 4 of the table above).
The following image shows the Group Together Valuation Areas configuration activity where you assign a valuation grouping code to plants. Here, you can see that valuation grouping code 0001 is assigned to all plants.
The following video explains how account determination is affected by the valuation class in the material master record.
To learn how to create and assign valuation classes start the following interactive demo.
To learn how to create an account category reference and assign it to a material type, start the following interactive demo.
We have reviewed each of the following factors that influence account determination:
Automatic account determination configuration activity.
Now that we have examined the factors that influence account determination, start the following demo to learn how you can define accounts for certain combinations of factors that the system can automatically determine for goods movements.
In practice, account determination for goods movements is a joint task of the logistics/supply chain and finance teams. An important contribution of the supply chain consultants is to understand the interrelationships and influencing factors so that the finance people can assign the correct accounts.

An activity type identifies activities provided by a cost center to manufacturing orders. The secondary cost element associated with an activity type identifies the activity costs on cost center and detailed reports
While there can only be one cost center standard hierarchy, you can create as many alternative hierarchies as you like. You create an alternative hierarchy by creating cost center groups
Automatic account assignment allows you to enter a default cost center per cost element within a plant with Transaction OKB9.
A condition type is a key that identifies a condition. The condition type indicates, for example, whether the system applies a price, a discount, a surcharge, or some other pricing, such as freight costs and sales taxes.
A cost center is a function within an organization that does not directly add to profit but still costs money to operate, such as the accounting, HR, or IT departments. The main use of a cost center is to track actual expenses for comparison to the budget.
A cost estimate calculates the plan cost to manufacture a product or purchase a component. It determines material costs by multiplying BOM quantities by the standard price, labor costs by multiplying operation standard quantities by plan activity price, and overhead values by costing sheet configuration.
An SAP Cost object such as a cost center or internal order describes where the cost occurs. A cost element or account describes what the cost is.
The costing lot size in the Costing 1 view determines the quantity cost estimate calculations are based on. The costing lot size should be set as close as possible to actual purchase and production quantities to reduce lot size variance.
A goods issue is the movement (removal) of goods or materials from inventory to manufacturing or to a customer. When goods are issued, it reduces the number of stock in the warehouse.
It is a goods movement that is used to post goods received from external vendors or from in-plant production. All goods receipts result in an increase of stock in the warehouse.
An internal order monitors costs and revenue of an organization for short- to medium-term jobs. You can carry out planning at a cost element and detailed level, and you can carry out budgeting at an overall level with availability control.
Production variance is a type of variance calculation based on the difference between net actual costs debited to the order and target costs based on the preliminary cost estimate and quantity delivered to inventory. You calculate production variance with target cost version 1.
A profit center receives postings made in parallel to cost centers and other master data such as orders. Profit Center Accounting (PCA) is a separate ledger that enables reporting from a profit center point of view. You normally create profit centers based on areas in a company that generate revenue and have a responsible manager assigned.
If PCA is active, you will receive a warning message if you do not specify a profit center, and all unassigned postings are made to a dummy profit center. You activate profit center accounting with configuration Transaction OKKP, which maintains the controlling area.
A purchasing info record stores all of the information relevant to the procurement of a material from a vendor. It contains the Purchase Price field, which the standard cost estimate searches for when determining the purchase price.
A scheduling agreement is a longer-term purchase arrangement with a vendor covering the supply of materials according to predetermined conditions. These apply for a predefined period and a total purchase quantity.
A standard hierarchy represents your company structure. A standard hierarchy is guaranteed to contain all cost centers or profit centers because a mandatory field in cost and profit center master data is a standard hierarchy node.

The standard price in the Costing 2 view determines the inventory valuation price if price control is set at standard (S). The standard price is updated when a standard cost estimate is released. You normally value manufactured goods at the standard price.
You can apply surcharges to material prices and activity prices in order to take into account increases or decreases in item prices over time when calculating the lifecycle costs for a project.
Target costs are plan costs adjusted by the delivered quantity. For example, if the quantity delivered to inventory is 50% of the plan quantity, target costs are calculated as 50% of the plan costs.
A material master contains all of the information required to manage a material. Information is stored in views, and each view corresponds to a department or area of business responsibility. Views conveniently group information together for users in different departments, for example, sales and purchasing.
An origin group separately identifies materials assigned to the same cost element, allowing them to be assigned to separate cost components. The origin group can also determine the calculation base for overhead in costing sheets.
The Price control field in the Costing 2 view determines whether inventory is valuated at standard or moving average price.
The price unit is the number of units to which the price refers. You can increase the accuracy of the price by increasing the price unit. To determine the unit price, divide the price by the price unit.
Process orders are used for the production of materials or provide services in a certain quantity and on a certain date. They allow resource planning, process order management control, and account assignment and order settlement rules to be specified.
A procurement alternative represents one of a number of different ways of procuring a material. You can control the level of detail in which the procurement alternatives are represented through the controlling level. Depending on the processing category, there are single-level and multilevel procurement alternatives. For example, a purchase order is single-level procurement, while production is multilevel procurement.
A production order is used for discrete manufacturing. A BOM and routing are copied from master data to the order. A sequence of operations is supplied by the routing, which describes how to carry out work-steps. An operation can refer to a work center at which it is to be performed. An operation contains planned activities required to carry out the operation. Costs are based on the material components and activity price multiplied by a standard value.
Product drilldown reports allow you to slice and dice data based on characteristics such as product group, material, plant, cost component, and period. Product drilldown reports are based on predefined summarization levels and are relatively simple to setup and run.
Production variance is a type of variance calculation based on the difference between net actual costs debited to the order and target costs based on the preliminary cost estimate and quantity delivered to inventory. You calculate production variance with target cost version 1. Production variances are for information only and are not relevant for settlement.
A production version determines which alternative BOM is used together with which task list/master recipe to produce a material or create a master production schedule. For one material, you can have several production versions for various validity periods and lot-size ranges.
When raw materials are valued at the standard price, a purchase price variance will post during goods receipt if the goods receipt or invoice price is different from the material standard price.
Costing-based profitability analysis enables you to evaluate market segments, which can be classified according to products, customers, orders (or any combination of these), or strategic business units, such as sales organizations or business areas concerning your company’s profit or contribution margin.
SAP Profit Center is a management-oriented organizational unit used for internal controlling purposes. Segmenting a company into profit centers allows us to analyze and delegate responsibility to decentralized units.
A purchasing info record stores all the information relevant to the procurement of a material from a vendor. It contains the Purchase Price field, which the standard cost estimate searches for when determining the purchase price.
Raw materials are always procured externally and then processed. A material master record of this type contains purchasing data but not sales.
A routing is a list of tasks containing standard activity times required to perform operations to build an assembly. Routings, together with planned activity prices, provide cost estimates with the information necessary to calculate labor and activity costs of products.
Sales and operations planning (SOP) allows you to enter a sales plan, convert it to a production plan, and transfer the plan to long-term planning.
S&OP is slowly being replaced by SAP Integrated Business Planning for Supply Chain (SAP IBP), which supports all S&OP features. S&OP is intended as a bridge or interim solution, which allows you a smooth transition from SAP ERP to on-premise SAP S/4HANA and SAP IBP. See SAP Note 2268064 for details.
SAP Fiori is a web-based interface that can be used in place of the SAP GUI. SAP Fiori apps access the Universal Journal directly, taking advantage of additional fields like the work center and operation for improved variance reporting.
Work in process (WIP) and variances are transferred to Financial Accounting, Profit Center Accounting (PCA), and Profitability Analysis (CO-PA) during settlement. Variance categories can also be transferred to value fields in CO-PA.
A settlement profile contains the parameters necessary to create a settlement rule for manufacturing orders and product cost collectors and is contained in the order type.
A settlement rule determines which portions of a sender’s costs are allocated to which receivers. A settlement rule is contained in a manufacturing order or product cost collector header data.
You need setup time to prepare equipment and machinery for the production of assemblies, and that preparation is generally the same regardless of the quantity produced. Setup time spread over a smaller production quantity increases the unit cost.
The process of recording actual costs for cost objects, such as manufacturing orders and product cost collectors in cost object controlling, is called simultaneous costing. Costs typically include goods issues, receipts to and from an order, activity confirmations, and external service costs.
Source cost elements identify costs that debit objects, such as manufacturing orders and product cost collectors.
A source list is a list of available sources of supply for a material, which indicates the periods during which procurement is possible. Usually, a source list is a list of quotations for a material from different vendors.
You can specify a preferred vendor by selecting a fixed source of supply indicator. If you do not select this indicator for any source, a cost estimate will choose the lowest cost source as the cost of the component. You can also indicate which sources are relevant to MRP.
The standard price in the Costing 2 view determines the inventory valuation price when price control is set at standard (S). The standard price is updated when a standard cost estimate is released. You normally value manufactured goods at the standard price.
You supply component parts to an external vendor who manufactures the complete assembly. The vendor has previously supplied a quotation, which is entered in a purchasing info record with a category of subcontracting.
Tracing factors determine the cost portions received by each receiver from senders during periodic allocations, such as assessments and distributions.
The efficiency and speed of the SAP HANA in-memory database allowed the introduction of the Universal Journal single line-item tables ACDOCA (actual) and ACDOCP (plan). The Universal Journal allows all postings from the previous financial and controlling components to be combined in single items. The many benefits include the development of real-time accounting. In this book, we discuss both period-end and event-based processing.
The valuation class in the Costing 2 view determines which general ledger accounts are updated as a result of inventory movement or settlement.
The valuation date determines which material and activity prices are selected when you create a cost estimate. Purchasing info records can contain different vendor-quoted prices for different dates. Different plan activity rates can be entered per fiscal period.
The valuation grouping code allows you to assign the same general ledger account assignments across several plants with Transaction OMWD to minimize your work. The grouping code can represent one or a group of plants.
You use valuation types in the split valuation process, which enables the same material in a plant to have different valuations based on criteria such as batch. You assign valuation types to each valuation category, which specify the individual characteristics that exist for that valuation category. For example, you can valuate stocks of a material produced in-house separately from stocks of the same material purchased externally from vendors. You then select procurement type as the valuation category and internal and external as the valuation types.
The valuation variant is a costing variant component that allows different search strategies for materials, activity types, subcontracting, and external processing. For example, the search strategy for purchased and raw materials typically searches first for a price from the purchasing info record.
This valuation variant allows a choice of cost estimates to valuate scrap and WIP in a WIP at target scenario. If the structure of a routing is changed after a costing run, WIP can still be valued with the valuation variant for scrap and WIP resulting in a more accurate WIP valuation.
In the context of multiple valuation and transfer prices, you can define the following views: – Legal valuation view – Group valuation view – Profit center valuation view
Operations are carried out at work centers representing; for example, machines, production lines, or employees. Work center master data contains a mandatory cost center field. A work center can only be linked to one cost center, while a cost center can be linked to many work centers.
Work in process (WIP) represents production costs of incomplete assemblies. For balance sheet accounts to accurately reflect company assets at period end, WIP costs are moved temporarily to WIP balance sheet and profit and loss accounts. WIP is canceled during period-end processing following delivery of assemblies to inventory.

Account Category Reference in SAP MM is a crucial aspect of managing financial transactions within the Materials Management module. This article provides valuable insights into understanding and utilizing account category reference in SAP MM effectively. By comprehending the significance of account categories and their role in various business processes, users can streamline accounting procedures, ensure accurate reporting, and maintain financial transparency. With this knowledge, businesses can optimize their operations and enhance overall efficiency within the SAP MM system.
Valuation areas can be grouped together and can be assigned to one grouping code, if they belong to the same G/L account. For example, different plants under one company code can be assigned the same valuation grouping code and vice versa. Before this, valuation grouping code must be activated and this can be done by following the steps given below.
To access the Account Determination settings in SAP MM, go to IMG and navigate through Materials Management, Valuation and Account Assignment, Account Determination, and then select Account Determination without Wizard. From there, you can define the Valuation Control according to your requirements.
To begin, go to the Display IMG screen and navigate to Define Valuation Control using the path mentioned above.
Proceed to Step 2 by choosing the Valuation grouping code and then save it. This will activate the Valuation grouping code.
To assign valuation area and valuation grouping code to the company code in SAP MM, you can follow the steps outlined below.
Navigate to the IMG (Implementation Guide) and go to Materials Management. From there, access Valuation and Account Assignment followed by Account Determination. Next, choose Account Determination without Wizard and then proceed to Group Together Valuation Areas.
To begin, navigate to the Display IMG screen and choose the option to group valuation areas together. This can be done by following the path mentioned above.
In the second step, you have the option to create a valuation area and assign it to a company code by using a grouping code. Once saved, the valuation area and grouping code will be established for that specific company code.
The account assignment category in SAP MM is a way to describe how the material that is being purchased will be used. For example, it can specify whether the material will be used for a cost center or a sales order. This helps in keeping track of how different materials are being utilized within an organization.
In addition to describing the usage of materials, the account assignment category also determines how accounting entries are made when goods receipts (GR) or invoice receipts (IR) documents are posted. When these documents are created, they need to be recorded in the accounting system accurately and assigned to appropriate accounts based on their purpose.
For instance, if a material is procured for a cost center, the accounting entry needs to reflect this by debiting the cost center account and crediting the relevant inventory or expense account. On the other hand, if it is procured for a sales order, then different accounts need to be debited and credited accordingly.
The G/L account in SAP MM is categorized based on the material type using a valuation class. This means that different types of materials, such as raw materials and finished products, will have different G/L accounts due to their varying costs. Along with the valuation class, an account reference is also maintained. To define the account reference and valuation class in SAP MM, you can follow the steps provided below.
Navigate to the IMG menu and go to Materials Management. From there, select Valuation and Account Assignment followed by Account Determination. Choose Account Determination without Wizard and then proceed to Define Valuation Classes.
To begin, go to the Display IMG screen and choose Define Valuation Classes using the path mentioned above.
Proceed to the next step by selecting the button labeled “Account Category Reference.
Step 4 – Enter the name and description of the ARef (Account reference).
Proceed to the same screen and select Valuation Class.
Step 7 involves entering the valuation class name, account reference (ARef), and a brief description for the valuation class.
Step 8 – Next, navigate to the same screen and select Material Type/Account Category Reference.
Step 9 – In this step, you can establish a connection between material types and account references (ARef). Remember to save the changes. This will enable posting of general ledger accounts for various material types.
To ensure accurate accounting, it is important to assign the same account category reference to both material types. This helps in organizing and categorizing materials effectively. Additionally, an Account Category Reference allows for the assignment of multiple valuation classes. These classes help determine the value of materials based on various factors such as cost or market price.
Furthermore, an Account Category Reference also allows for the assignment of multiple Material Types. This means that different categories of materials can be grouped together under one reference for better organization and analysis purposes.
Continuing with our previous example, apart from wood and metal, there might be other material types like fabric or plastic used in furniture production. By assigning all these material types to a single account category reference specifically created for furniture manufacturing, it becomes easier to analyze costs associated with each type of material used.
The determination of the G/L account is automated for every transaction in SAP. This occurs through the configuration of automatic postings within the SAP system. The steps to configure automatic posting are as follows…
Navigate to IMG, then go to Materials Management. From there, select Valuation and Account Assignment followed by Account Determination. Next, choose Account Determination without Wizard and proceed to Configure Automatic Postings.
To begin, navigate to the Display IMG screen and access the Configure Automatic Postings option by following the path mentioned earlier.
Step 3 – In this step, you can set up the transaction that requires automatic account determination. Simply click on the Save button to save your configuration. Now, the system is ready for automatically posting transactions.
In order to effectively manage inventory and track material movements within an organization, SAP MM provides a comprehensive system that assigns specific accounts based on different types of transactions. The account grouping code or account modifier plays a crucial role in this process by allowing users to break down account determination according to various movement types.
To delve deeper into configuring and customizing these settings for proper account determination using SAP MM functionalities like assigning appropriate general ledger (GL) accounts or defining specific rules for each combination of valuation class and G/L accounts associated with different movements types – consult relevant documentation provided by SAP India or reach out for expert guidance if needed.
In SAP MM, account determination is determined based on a combination of valuation grouping code, general modifier/account modifier, and valuation class. This is defined for a specific transaction event key, which in turn is defined for each movement type in SAP MM.
1. Account determination is based on the combination of valuation grouping code, general modifier/account modifier, and valuation class.
2. This determination is done for a particular transaction event key.
3. The transaction event key is defined for each movement type in SAP MM.
In practical terms, the ACR acts as an artificial code that facilitates the association between different components within SAP MM. By assigning specific ACRs to material types, organizations can effectively manage their inventory and accounting processes. The ACR serves as a crucial reference point for determining how materials are valued and accounted for.
Overall, understanding and correctly implementing account category references play a vital role in optimizing inventory management processes within SAP MM. By leveraging this functionality effectively, organizations can enhance their financial reporting accuracy while streamlining overall business operations
– Each material type has one assigned account category reference.
– In standard SAP, there is an association between an account category reference and each material.
To define the account reference and valuation class in SAP MM, follow these steps. First, go to the Display IMG screen and select Define Valuation Classes. Next, click on the Account Category Reference button. Then, click on New Entries to add a new account reference. In this step, you need to provide a name for the account reference (ARef) along with its description.
Defining valuation classes is an important task in SAP MM as it helps in determining how materials are valued within the system. By assigning an account category reference to a valuation class, you can ensure that appropriate accounts are used for recording financial transactions related to material movements.
When defining a new account category reference, it is essential to give it a meaningful name and provide a clear description so that users can easily understand its purpose and usage.

In SAP MM, procurement process involves the cost of goods and services that needs to be paid to the vendor by an organization. The cost being paid must be posted in an organization necessarily in a correct general ledger (G/L) account. It is quite impossible to recollect and feed the correct G/L account every time during procurement. To avoid this inconvenience, the SAP system can be configured so that the system will automatically determine the correct G/L account that needs to be posted. G/L account is posted when goods receipt is done as well as during clearing the invoice verification. Account determination deals with the following terms−
Configure automatic posting.
Valuation areas can be grouped together and can be assigned to one grouping code, if they belong to the same G/L account.
