Purpose
The purpose of this page is to describe the main customizing settings for Account Determination.
Overview
For every goods movement created for a valuated material, the SAP system can create two types of documents: a material document and an accounting document. The SAP system follows the
accounting principle that for every material movement, there is a corresponding document that provides details of that movement. In addition, an accounting document is produced that describes the
financial aspects of the goods movement.
The material document and accounting (FI) document creation depend on the movement type configuration.
Through the movement type configuration and based on the customizing settings defined for the account determination the SAP System can do automatic account postings.
To determine the customizing settings for Account Determination you should GO through the following customizing path: SPRO -> IMG -> Materials Management -> Valuation and Account
Assignment -> Account Determination.
Below sections describe the two ways to define the account determination: Account Determination Wizard and Account Determination without Wizard.

You can configure account determination with the wizard in the first instance, for example. Then, if the wizard does not meet your company's account determination requirements, you can work without it.
You have to work without the wizard if you use the material ledger (this is standard).
Define Valuation Control
It can be configured by the following customizing path: SPRO -> IMG -> Materials Management -> Valuation and Account Assignment -> Account Determination -> Account Determination without
Wizard-> Define Valuation Control.
It defines if the valuation areas will be grouped by activating the valuation grouping code. This makes the configuration of automatic postings much easier.
In the standard SAP R/3 System, the valuation grouping code is set to active as default setting.
Firstly, you should create the valuation grouping code.
It corresponds to the transaction OMWM.
OMWM - Valuation Control
Recommendation:
SAP recommends that you only use a valuation grouping code within a chart of accounts in order to prevent account determination from becoming confusing.
Default settings
In the standard SAP system, valuation is predefined at plant level. All plants are grouped together via valuation grouping code 0001.
Group together Valuation Areas corresponds to the transaction OMWD.

The link between the valuation classes and the material types is set up via the account category reference.
The account category reference is a combination of valuation classes. Precisely one account category reference is assigned to a material type.
Requirements
You must have defined your material types.
You must have defined the chart of accounts.
You must have agreed with Financial Accounting which materials are assigned to which accounts.
Default settings
In the standard SAP R/3 System, an account category reference is created for each material type. The account category reference is, in turn, assigned to precisely one valuation class. This means that
each material type has its own valuation class.

Important:
Report DFKB1INT: Display the source code in transaction SE38. It is used to shows us the possible values for the account determination customizing settings. If the customer changed something here, it
is not standard anymore.

Hi Fabio, Esther,
The program DFKB1INT is an Include program. What would be the correct executable program to check possible values for the account determination customizing settings?
Regards,
Purnima

Hi Purnima!
You are right. The program DFKB1INT is not an executable program. The paragraph is incorrectly written, so I will correct it now. The point here is that this program controls the
customizing settings, and displaying the source code of this program we can see which settings are possible in the standard system. For example:
DATA:
kbs(9)
VALUE '
'.
For KBS no account determination is possible at all, because we copy the account from the Purchase Order, so all settings are empty.
Of course, changing the source code of this program is a modification to the standard system and, therefore, not supported.
I hope this clarifies the case!
Best regards,
Esther.
