G/L account via valuation class
The G/L Account field in the item line of the xSuite feeder account assignment had to be filled manually until now. In the current xSuite version, the entry is largely automated, allowing but not requiring manual entry of the G/L account.
The G/L account is determined using the valuation class.
The following prerequisites apply:
The field G/L Account has not yet been entered manually.
The account-assignment category has been specified in the feeder item.
The plant has been specified in the feeder item.
The material number has been specified in the feeder item.
The material class (material group) has been specified in the feeder item.
When determining the G/L account, the system will first check whether a G/L account is relevant for the specified account-assignment category (transaction SPRO → SAP Customizing Implementation Guide → Materials Management → Purchasing → Account Assignment → Maintain Account Assignment Categories → detail screen of an account-account-assignment category).
Only the settings Opt.Entry and Mand.Ent. will be observed. The settings Display and Hidden will be ignored.
The G/L account will then be determined using the standard function module ME_ACCOUNT_ASSIGNMENT.
No further determination of the G/L account is made. There is no evaluation of the result of the function module ME_ACCOUNT_ASSIGNMENT.
