Introduction to Account Determination in Sales and Distribution and the account determination of the Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) account.
We posted a Billing document and SAP automatically posted the financial entry with GL accounts, how can we analyze the account determination to understand how SAP determined the GL accounts in the financial entry
The first step in the configuration of the account determination is to answer the question: Which fields do we want to determine the accounts based on? for example the answer can be sales organization, account key, company code, etc. We add these fields to the field catalogue and then assign them in condition tables
In the Access Sequence, we tell SAP which condition tables to access first. We then assign this Access Sequence to an Account Determination Type.
We can have multiple Access Sequences and multiple Account Determination Types
In the Account Determination Procedure, we tell SAP which Account Determination Types are used when the Sales Order is a cost object and when it's not. We also specify which Account Determination Type should be accessed first in every case. Then we assign the Procedure to the Billing Document Types
We assign the GL Accounts in the different condition tables
How to use the Account Key to determine different GL accounts for different Sales Conditions
How to define different GL Accounts for different Customers and Materials using Account Assignment Keys
Why and How to split the COGS account based on the Cost Components?
How to configure the GL Account Determination of the Payment Term Cash Discount?
Learn how to configure the Account Determination for Sales and Distribution in SAP S4HANA and SAP ECC:
In SAP ERP, when processing the Order to Cash process in Sales and Distribution (Sales Order, Outbound Delivery, Goods Issue, Customer Billing) the Accounting Entries in the process are 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 for Automatic Account Determination in Sales and Distribution:
Determination of the Sales Revenue Accounts
Determination of the Sales Discounts Accounts to be same or different from the Sales Revenue Account
Determination of the Sales Surcharges Accounts to be same or different from the Sales Revenue Account
Determination of different accounts for the different products (Ex: different Sales Revenue Account for every production division)
