What is Account Determination?
Configuration that automatically derives GL accounts for postings from logistics transactions.
MM uses valuation class, transaction key (such as BSX or WRX), and movement type grouping in OBYC; SD uses VKOA for revenue accounts. Errors here produce postings to wrong accounts or blocked transactions. Each new movement type or material type needs an account determination test.
