Welcome to the MM Account Determination Course, looking forward to your questions, comments, and reviews.

The main link between Materials and Account Determination is the Valuation Class maintained in the Material master data, it's very important to analyse the needed Valuation Classes early in the implementation project
It's recommended by SAP to always use Plant as a Valuation Level, this gives the company the flexibility to have different inventory valuation and account determination per plant
Other than the main accounts such as Inventory and GR/IR, there are usually some purchasing conditions that are posted to separate GL accounts (Ex: Freight, Customs, etc)
In some Purchasing Processes (Ex: Consumables) we don't use Material codes because we don't care about the actual item that we purchase but instead, we use a Material Group (ex: Office supplies, cleaning supplies) in this case SAP will determine the GL accounts in the postings based on the Material Group
Business Requirement: When receiving the invoice from the suppliers, sometimes they add some unplanned costs (handling, shipping, etc) that we must post to an expense account linked to the Purchase Order at Invoice Receipt
Learn how to configure the Account Determination for Material Management in SAP S4HANA and SAP ECC:
In SAP ERP when posting an inventory-related transaction in Material Management (Ex: Goods Receipt, Goods Issue, Purchasing Invoice) the Accounting Entry is posted automatically, and the system determines all the GL accounts in the background, this is called (Automatic Account Determination).
In this course, you will learn the full concept and also all the configuration steps needed in SAP ECC and SAP S4HANA to meet the business requirements:
