RE:[sap-log-sd] Accounting Postings - Goods Issues performed in Shipping

Laurie,
I have no idea about BTEs myself but gave a pretty simple solution above with the user exit to only change the movement type determined for a schedule line and create new movement types.

You could store, for example, the sales area, order type, schedule line determined, order reason and the new movement type to set.

This means no need to create new item categories/schedule line categories etc.. just movement types...

This is done in MM > Inventory Management... > Movement Types > Copy Change Movement Types

The main issue for this solution is how many different accounts do you wish to post to? The more you have the more movement types which could get messy as you may need a copy of 601,602 for the standard outbound process and copies of 653/654 for any returns should you wish to have the same accounts being hit on the return process.

How may accounts do you wish to post to?

Subject: Accounting Postings - Goods Issues performed in Shipping

How can I control the G/L to be posted when performing a Goods Issue in Shipping? Specifically, would like to control the "GBB" - Offsetting entry for Inventory Posting" portion of the process.

Currently SAP posts to the G/L Account based on the Automatic Determination configured in the "Valuation and Account Assignment" section of Materials Management, so, for Transaction "GBB" is looking for Account Modification "VAX" as specified in Transaction OMWN - "Define Account Grouping for Movement Types" for Movement Type "601".

For certain Sales Scenario, for the Offseting Entry, my Client wants to post to specific G/L Accounts for the Goods Issue depending on the "reason" why that Sales Document is being created.

The "different reasons" are being created as "Order Reasons" in Sales and assigned when creating the Sales Document, so, it's not directly related to the Customer and / or the Material, a specific Customer and/or Material could be used under a different Sales Document where a different reason was used and the posting should go to a different G/L Account. On the other hand, the Order Reason doesn't really have any impact in MM's Account Assignment.

Is there anything SAP Standard that could help me accomplish this? Maybe some other field instead of the Order Reason that could help me control what G/L to post to?

In the OMWN Transaction - "Define Account Grouping for Movement Types", there's an indicator that says "Check account assignment" and it says that if the indicator is set, the system checks whether a G/L account or an account assignment has been specified on the Item screen. If so, the system copies this data to the posting line. What do they mean by the "Item Screen"? I went to the Sales Document and the Delivery Document and I don't see anything at the Item Level where I can assign a G/L Account and the only Account Assignment I see is in the Order; but that's for Billing purposes, not for the Goods Issue posting.

Any ideas on how I could handle this will be greatly appreciated.
