Hi,

Condition type is used in the VKOA for account determintaion

G/L account is determined by the condition type say KOFI is used for SD IN condition type KOFI we can set the Input parameter for the condition type it is basically the account determination process for example if a G/L account is to be determine Sales org./AcctAssgGr/AcctAsgnmt/Ord.reason/Acct key then we need to create the condition table for the same & that same conditio table is to assgined in the condition type.

It is same like we maintain the condition records for the various condition types like Price Discount etc.

I hope this will clear your doubt to some extent.

Hi Pritam,

I found in IDES ECC6, there have 2 condition types in VKOA.

One is KOFI, another is KOFK.

KOFI--Acc. determin

KOFK--Acc, determin with CO

Here, the condition type only has above 2 functions? Just indicate the account determin is with CO or not???

In real business, what examples could it possible for us to use other condition types in VKOA??

Thanks

Hi,

VKOA transaction is for the assignment of the amount postings to respective G/L accounts like Revenue, Sales deductions, Earning etc.

Account determination works on condition technique which has two std. condition types as KOFI and KOFK.

KOFI condition is used for postings to the FI accounts whereas KOFK is used for CO-controlling object which is a useful tool for profitability seg./analysis.

Hope it helps

The condition type KOFI is used for posting the different components to FI where as KOFK is used for posting the same in Controlling (CO) module for analysis like profitability etc...

Condition Type

The condition type is used for different functions. In pricing, for example, the condition type lets you differentiate between different kinds of discount; in output determination, between different output types such as order confirmation or delivery note; in batch determination, between different strategy types.

condition type is used widely in SD, diff area contain diff meanings...

Hi

When you post an invoice, for example, the system uses account determination types to locate the G/L accounts to which amounts should be posted. You can define G/L accounts in account determination tables in SD Customizing through Acct determination -> Environment -> Maintain acct

determ. The system checks these tables according to the specified access sequence until it finds a valid account.

Hope this will help you.
