Dear Sabina,

There are account assignment group is available for Material master & Customer Master.

Combining the A/c assignment group of Customer & Material G/L accounts are defined. In sales order the combination of A/c assignment group (both Customer & Material) automatically determines the G/L account at the time of invoice posting.

Thanks

Hi,

material account ass group can be used while doing revenue acc determination. Like finished goods, trading etc. or you can define your own classification and identify a separate GL account.

material group tells to which type of a product set this particular material belongs. May be i want to use this while giving some discounts like all electrical appliances 10 % this diwali.

To answer your question let me start with a question?

How will you know the sales revenue for domestic customers, foreign customers.

How will you know whether these revenues are for finished goods or trading goods?

How will you know whether these trading revenues are for domestic sales or foreign sales.

Same is the case with discounts/surcharges, taxes and freight.

Now when you post to financial accounting financial accounting should be capable of reporting on all the above questions and much more and in order to do this you organise your GL accounts in sucha a manner that this can be achieved.

But GL accounts is a linear thing. They are just numbers with a desription. So you need to ensure that when you take a report of that GL account it holds relevant information.

If all revenues irrespective of materials and customers go to it then its dificult to answer the above.

So we need to ensure that the correct combination is used so that the GL accounts wll give the correct information.

If for foreign customers/finished goods/ Sales revenue you maintain a GL account then this information will be specific in nature.

If you have only one type of customers say domestic then you don;t need the customer assignment group. You maintain for differnet material accoount assignment groups and account key.

But if you deal only in one material then you don;t need material account assignment group too. IN which case for every account key you ca maintian a GL account. Each account key will contain the information whether it is a revenue, discount/surcharge, freight or tax...

I hope I have answered your question.

Hi

The asscount assignment is made in MMR and CMR which are used in Revenue Account Determination. Above two in combination with the other values determine the respective GL accounts for posting the vlaues in FI.

The material group is nothing but grouping of materials which is helpful in creating differnt conditon tables and finally to create different conditon records.

Thanks,
