SAP Account Determination Finder

The values after “entry” come in a fixed order: chart of accounts, transaction key, then whichever of valuation grouping code, account modifier and valuation class the key’s rules make active. INT GBB 0001 VBR 3000 means: chart INT, key GBB, grouping code 0001, modifier VBR, valuation class 3000. OBYC needs an account for exactly that combination.

The valuation class comes from the material (Accounting 1 view), the grouping code from the plant (OMWD) and the modifier from the movement type (OMWN). So when one material fails and others work, look at its valuation class; when one plant fails, look at its grouping code; when one movement type fails, look at its account grouping.

• BSX — Inventory posting — the stock account for the valuation class
• WRX — GR/IR clearing — goods receipt and invoice receipt for purchase orders
• PRD — Price differences — standard-price materials, and invoice differences
• GBB — Offsetting entry for inventory posting — the other side of most goods movements; the general modifier says which kind
• UMB — Revaluation gain or loss when a price change affects a previous period
• AUM — Transfer posting differences between materials or plants with different prices
• BSV — Change in stock account (used where stock changes post to the P&L)
• KON — Consignment and pipeline liabilities
• KDM — Exchange rate differences on material postings
• FR1 — Freight clearing (planned delivery costs)
• EIN — Purchase account (purchase account management)
• EKG — Purchase offsetting account (purchase account management)

• GBB-INV — Physical inventory differences (701 / 702)
• GBB-VBR — Consumption for internal use — goods issue to cost centre or order (201, 261)
• GBB-VAX — Goods issue for a sales order without account assignment to CO (601)
• GBB-VAY — Goods issue for a sales order with account assignment to CO
• GBB-VNG — Scrapping (551)

A billing document with posting status A was saved but not passed to accounting. When the cause is account determination, VF02 → Environment → Account determination analysis → Revenue accounts shows which VKOA access was tried and what failed. The standard key is chart of accounts, sales organisation, customer account assignment group, material account assignment group and the account key from the pricing procedure (ERL, ERS, ERF…). Output tax is different: the MWS key is set up in FI tax account determination (OB40), not in VKOA.
