- Whenever we sale a finish material to customer, then the customer have to pay for that. We send a bill to customer.
- In that position all billing document which is happens to sales and distribution module will be posted into FI module.
- The account entry of respect to the billing always have two sides
- One side is Customer account and other side will be revenue account. For example:
- Customer A/c Debit
- Revenue A/c Credit
- As per SD module, the customer account will be picked from customer master data, which is maintained from SD module.
- We just need to configure the revenue account and if there any discount and surcharges account.
- We have to do that via access sequence, access sequence is just a SAP terminology to determine the G/L accounts.
Reference: https://blogs.sap.com/2013/12/31/integration-point-of-mm-fi-sd-in-sap-erp/
- SAP provides 5 ways to determine G/L account in SD modules. These are:
- Cust.Grp/MaterialGrp/AcctKey
- Cust.Grp/Account Key
- Material Grp/Acct Key
- General
- Acct Key
- The assigned G/L accounts are used to post the discount and revenue and any kind of surcharges.
- To configure this, go to Path = SPRO-IMG-Sales and Distribution-Basic Functions-Account Assignment/Costing-Revenue Account Determination-Assign G/L Accounts
- T-code = VKOA
- You can see the below screen and you can also see the default table and description for above 5 ways.
- First system checks the first table entry Cust.Grp/MaterialGrp/AcctKey. If any G/L maintained here then system will go to the transaction and the particular billing document, then system search the combination of customer group and material group. If system will find any G/L, then system will go through the G/L, if system doesn’t find the G/L, then it will search the next table.
- Customer group is maintained in Customer master Data, Material Group is maintained in Material Master Data, Account key is maintained for condition type in pricing procedure.
- Lets maintain One G/L account for material group and account key combination.
- I have maintained the G/L for this combination. here AAG is the material grp.
- Whenever system search the table and find the combination for transaction, then system will debit customer account and credit to this account (180033)
- The account key determine that it is a revenue or discount or surcharges.
- Press F4 on the Account Key field, you can see the all account keys.
- The account keys are also maintained in calculation schema in Pricing procedure.
- Path = SPRO-IMG-Sales and Distribution-Basic Functions-Pricing-Pricing Control-Define And Assign Pricing Procedures-Maintain pricing procedures
- In this way SD and FI are integrated each other.
