AcyKy - Account Key/ Accrls - Accruals:

u2022 The values of the Sales Revenues, Sales Deductions, Freight Revenues, Tax Revenues, and Rebate Accruals etc. are going to be posted in the respective G/L accounts in Fi Module.

u2022 In order to do this we assign account keys/ accruals to the different condition types based on their classification. The classification shown below.

o ERB Rebate sales deduct.

o ERF Freight revenue

o ERL Revenue

o ERS Sales deductions

o ERU Rebate accruals

u2022 For Ex.,

o For all Price condition types like PR00 etc. we assign ERL - Revenue.

o For all Discount condition types like K004, K005 etc. we assign ERS - Sales Deductions.

o For all Freight condition types KF00 etc. we assign ERF - Freight Revenues.

o For all Rebates condition types BO01 to BO05 we assign in Account key ERB - Rebates Sales deductions and for Accruals ERU - Rebate Accruals.

u2022 This account keys and accruals are in turn assigned to respective G/L accounts. So the system posts respective values in respective G/L accounts in Fi-Co Module.

u2022 This also one of the areas of SD - Fi Integration. SD consultants assign the account keys and Fi Consultants assign the respective G/L accounts in T.Code:VKOA.

diffrence of account ket and accruals

accruals

If you don't have accruals the value of that condition will gets added to base value of material that is it becomes material cost, by maintaining accruals one more thing is you can accrue all the cost & clear once over a period of time.

Account key is the key where it links to particular G/L account for posting the value& acct key & accrual key may be same.

Hi

The account key enables the system to post amounts to certain types of revenue account. For example, the system can post freight charges (generated by the freight pricing condition) to the relevant freight revenue account.

Acrrula Key identifies various types of G/L accounts for accruals or provisions.

Accrual key is also an account key

With the aid of the accrual key, the system can post amounts to certain types of accruals accounts. For example, rebate accruals which are calculated from pricing conditions can be posted to the corresponding account for rebate accruals.

Main difference is account key posts into revenue account or consumption account,

Accrual key posts into a Accrual account.

Thanks & Regards
