Dear Hoo Laa

1)How account setting involved in SD?

It is based on G/L Accounts. For each G/L account, the chart of accounts contains the account number, account name, and the information that controls how an account functions and how a G/L account is created in a company code.

Charts of accounts can have three different functions in the system:

- Operating chart of accounts

The operating chart of accounts contains the G/L accounts that you use for posting in your company code during daily activities. Financial Accounting and Controlling both use this chart of accounts.

You have to assign an operating chart of accounts to a company code.

- Group chart of accounts

The group chart of accounts contains the G/L accounts that are used by the entire corporate group. This allows the company to provide reports for the entire corporate group.

The assigning of an corporate group chart of accounts to a company code is optional.

- Country-specific chart of accounts

The country-specific chart of accounts contains the G/L accounts needed to meet the country's legal requirements. This allows you to provide statements for the country's legal requirements.

The assigning of an country-specific chart of accounts to a company code is optional.

2)Why we need set account in SD?

Bcoz only marketing people will only decide how to post in FI that particular invoice. That is whether it is normal sales, sample sales, scrap sales etc., Depending upon that they (SD) people will maintain respective document types and pricing procedure. In almost all companies, since invoice would be generated by marketing people, in pricing procedure, we need to define which condition types should pass on to FI; which should not

3) Sorry not able to understand exactly your question

4) How FI and SD intergrated for those terms like sales revenue, cash discount, sales discount, sales return..??

It is based on the Account Keys and Tax Codes which FI people will maintain and SD will assign these Account Keys in their Pricing Procedure. Based on this, determination of Accounts will happen

5) Would be very better if anyone could attach an detail document on FI-SD with SAP screenshot steps....

Sorry not possible to attach screen shots in this forum.

Hi,

Account determination is used to post the revenue , discount, taxes automatically to FI from SD.

1)How account setting involved in SD?

Account setting is done by FI consultant in FS00 transaction code. Actually SAP has given standard chart of accounts which contains all the accounts. from this the accounts are copied and if required they will change the account number. SD gives the information only what types of account are needed like discount revenues accounts ...etc.

2)Why we need set account in SD?

considering a manual example , from SD side invoice takes place, so then the SD have to inform the selling price, in that the revenue discounts taxes etc should be inform to FI. now with SAP we are automatically posting these in FI. who we will do this is by doing Account determination VKOA transaction code.

3)Normally used account config in SD process???

No. A link called account keys we create and place in the pricing procedure for a particular accounts.

4)How FI and SD intergrated for those terms like sales revenue, cash discount, sales discount, sales return..??

Fi will create a accounts. SD will create a account key. SD will do account determination where FI passed the information. these information is stored in the BC sets initially in the implementation.

5)Would be very better if anyone could attach an detail document on FI-SD with SAP screenshot steps....

I thinks this is not possible to send the screen shot.

thanks
