Account Determination

In SAP MM, procurement process involves cost of goods and services that needs to be paid to vendor by an organization. The cost being paid must be posted in an organization necessarily in a correct general ledger (G/L) account. Every time during procurement to remember the correct G/L account is an impossible thing. So, in SAP system some configuration for account determination is done so that system will automatically determine the correct G/L account that needs to be posted. G/L account is posted when goods receipt is done as well as during clearing invoice verification. Account determination deals with the following terms which are as follows.

• Define Valuation Control
• Group together Valuation Areas
• Define Valuation Classes
• Configure Automatic Posting

Define Valuation Control

Valuation areas can be grouped together and can be assigned to one grouping code if they belong to same G/L account. For example different plants under one company code can be assigned same valuation grouping code and vice versa. Before this, valuation grouping code must be activated and this can be done by following the below steps.

Path to Activate Valuation Grouping Code:
IMG => Materials Management => Valuation and Account Assignment => Account Determination => Account Determination without Wizard => Define Valuation Control
TCode: OMWM

On Display IMG screen select Define Valuation Control execute icon by following the above path.

Select Valuation grouping code active tab. Click on save. Valuation grouping code is now activated.

Group together Valuation Areas

In valuation grouping, valuation area and valuation grouping code are assigned to company code. This can be done by following the below steps.

Path to Define Valuation Area and Valuation Grouping Code:
IMG => Materials Management => Valuation and Account Assignment => Account Determination => Account Determination without Wizard => Group Together Valuation Areas
TCode: OMWD

On Display IMG screen select Group Together Valuation Areas execute icon by following the above path.

Here you can define valuation area with grouping code and assign them to a company code. Click on save. Valuation area and valuation grouping code are now defined for a company code.

Define Valuation Classes

Valuation class categorizes the G/L account on the basis of material type. For example raw material will have different G/L account than the finished material as the cost will be different in both the cases. Account reference is also maintained along with valuation class. Account reference and valuation class can be defined by following the below steps.

Path to Define Account Reference and Valuation Class:
IMG => Materials Management => Valuation and Account Assignment => Account Determination => Account Determination without Wizard => Define Valuation Classes
TCode: OMSK

On Display IMG screen select Define Valuation Classes execute icon by following the above path.

Select Account Category Reference tab.

Select New Entries icon.

Provide name of ARef(Account reference) along with its description.

Now go to same screen and select Valuation Class tab.

Select New Entries icon.

Provide name of valuation class, ARef(Account reference) and description of valuation class.

Now go to same screen and select Material Type/Account Category Reference.

Here you can map material type with ARef(Account reference). Click on save. G/L account can be now posted for different material types.

Configure Automatic Posting

G/L account is automatically determined for each of the transaction. This happens because automatic posting are configured in SAP system. Automatic posting can be configured by following the below steps.

Path to Configure Automatic Posting:
IMG => Materials Management => Valuation and Account Assignment => Account Determination => Account Determination without Wizard => Configure Automatic Postings
TCode: OMWB

On Display IMG screen select Configure Automatic Postings execute icon by following the above path.

Select Account Assignment.

Here you can maintain the transaction for which automatic account determination is there. Click on save. Automatic posting is now configured for the transactions.

SAP WM DATA

Warehouse Management Guide

Computer support for the organization and management of warehouses has become imperative for timely, effective

processing of logistic requirements within a company. The SAP Warehouse Management (WM) application provides flexible, automated support to assist you

in processing all goods movements and in maintaining current stock inventories in your warehousing complex.

WM supports warehousing processes by making it possible for you to

• Define and manage complex warehousing structures
• Optimize material flow using advanced putaway and picking techniques
• Process goods receipts, goods issues and stock transfers quickly and easily

Selection Criteria

Although it is possible for you to manage warehouse inventories using the Inventory Management (IM) application

component, the primary difference between managing stock in WM and in IM is that in IM, the system can only display the total stock of a material for a

storage location. If a warehouse is small and easily manageable, then the use of IM may be sufficient to fulfill your needs.

WM, on the other hand, offers the capability to manage stock quantities in each individual storage bin in highly complex

storage facilities. This means that, with WM, you can optimize the use of all storage bins, mix pallets belonging to several owners in randomly slotted

warehouses and know exactly where a particular material is located in the warehousing complex at all times.

Integration

The Warehouse Management application is fully integrated into the SAP R/3 system. Transactions that are initiated in

other SAP components result in corresponding tasks in WM which activate the actual physical transfers within the warehouse.

A few of these activities include:

• Material movements and changes in material status, such as releasing goods from inspection
• Material staging to production supply areas
• Picking and shipping goods for sales orders

Most activities that take place within WM are initiated in Inventory Management. For example, most goods receipts,

goods issues and posting changes are initiated in IM and subsequently processed in WM.

WM is also interfaced to Sales and Distribution (SD) through the Shipping module to process delivery documents for

both the integrated WM application and the decentralized WM system.

The WM interface to Quality Management (QM) allows warehouse administrators to track and manage inspection lots

that are stored in the warehouse.

WM is also interfaced to the Production Planning (PP) system to assist in providing materials to supply areas in

production.

Features

WM provides several features that support warehousing activities. These include the following:

Warehouse Structure

• Management of complex warehousing facilities toinclude automatic warehouses, custom-designed storage areas, high rack storage, bulk storage, fixed bin storage and all other commonly used storageareas
• Definition and adaptation of a limitless variety ofstorage bins for use in your specific warehousing complex

Goods Movements

• Processing of all relevant warehousing activities, suchas goods receipts, goods issues, deliveries, internal and external stock transfers, automatic replenishment of fixed bins, material staging to production areasand stock difference handling
• Utilization of random slotting for multiple owners ofgoods
• Implementation of a variety of putaway and pickingstrategies including self-designed strategies
• Processing of multiple goods movements with transferrequirements and deliveries simultaneously
• Storage and retrieval of hazardous materials and allother goods that require special handling
• Setup of "forward pick" areas and production supplyareas with automated replenishment from case or reserve storage when stock quantities reach a certain threshold

Controlling

• Optimization of capacity and material flow utilizingstorage units in the warehouse
• Monitoring and display of stocks on hand andsummary evaluations of all goods movements via warehouse controlling tasks

Inventory

• Capability to maintain up-to-the-minute inventoryrecords with the aid of stock transfer confirmation
• Archiving of records of all goods movements andinventory activity

With its inventory functions, WM ensures that book inventories in Inventory Management match the stock in the

warehouse at any time. Because SAP components are fully integrated, you do not need separate interface programs between IM and WM. Printing Tasks

• Printing (of pallet slips, move orders, delivery slips,inventory documents, and so on) is available for all relevant transactions

Although it is possible to print material documents for each separate transaction in the warehouse, WM facilitates

automatic flowthrough warehousing tasks that are virtually paperless. Interface to External Systems

• Support for the use of bar code scanners, RFtechnology, AS/RS and automated forklift systems for all stock movements through an automated ALE warehouse control interface

Lean WM

• This warehousing structure makes it possible to createtransfer orders for deliveries when no storage bins are managed in the system. For Lean WM, no goods receipts or goods issues are processed as a subsequentprocess in WM. This means that no bin data and no stock is updated at the storage bin level using quants. Instead, this transaction takes place at the storagelocation level. It is used primarily to handle pick orders for deliveries.

R/2-R/3 Link

• Interface to an SAP R/2 host system using thedecentral R/3 system’s user-friendly screens and menus

For users who already have the SAP R/2 System, it is possible to install the R/3 WM user interface so that WM

functions can be carried out independent of the availability of the R/2 host system.See also:

R/2-R/3 Link

Storage Unit Management

• Management and control of material flow utilizingstorage units within the warehouse.

Decentralized Warehouse Management System

• The Warehouse Management System (WMS) as adecentralized stand-alone system that is operated separately from a centrally operated ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) system. The WMS functions notonly to store goods but encompasses other related logistics processes and functions independently of the central ERP system.

The SAP Warehouse Management module of SAP R/3

provides flexible, efficient, automated support that enables your business to:

- manage complex warehouse structures

- define and manage storage areas and storage bins in the warehouse

- manage several different types of storage, such as high rack storage, block storage or fixed bin storage

- process all relevant postings and transactions such as goods receipts, goods issues and general stock transfers.

- monitor stock movements

- ensure that stock posted in the Inventory Management system is the same as the stock in the warehouse

- integrate with materials management, product planning, quality management and sales and distribution

It primarily aims at defining and managing complex warehouse structures within a company.

The following points must be considered when implementing the SAP R/3 WM module:

- Path optimization for:

- stock placements

- stock removal

- stock transfer (for example, replenishment)

- Even utilization of warehouse capacity

- Balanced utilization of warehouse personnel

- Possibility for improvement in warehouse stocking

- Handling of means of conveyance for stock placement and stock removal
