Steps to use same G/L account for two different plants belongs to two different company
codes are having same Chart of account:
Valuation Area:
The valuation area is an Organizational level at which material valuation is done; the valuation
area is defined as
• Valuation area= company code
Complete stocks of that particular material in the company code are evaluated together
• Valuation area= one plant
Define Valuation area level:

SPRO -> SAP reference IMG->Enterprise Structure->Definition->Logistics general->Define

valuation level

Define Valuation Control: (OMWM)

SPRO -> Material Management -> Valuation and Account Assignment -> Account
Determination -> Account Determination Without Wizard->Define Valuation Control

VAISHNAVI JINDAM
 37

This is required if business is having more than one company code in that we can group
different plant from different Company codes to have same G/L accounts

Group together valuation areas

SPRO -> Material Management -> Valuation and Account Assignment -> Account
Determination -> Account Determination Without Wizard->Group together valuation areas
Valuation areas are grouped with the objective of simplifying the management of the standard
accounts table by minimizing the number of entries.
Along with other factors, the valuation grouping code determines the G/L Accounts, to which a
goods movement is posted (Automatic Account Determination).
The valuation grouping code makes it easier to set the automatic account determination.
Within the chart of accounts, we assigned the same valuation grouping code to the valuation
areas.
Since we want to assign to the same G/L account, we assigned the same valuation grouping code
to the valuation areas.
I created VAGC Valuation Group Code and assigned it to RDIL and PDIL Plants
RDIL belongs to RUSH CC and PDIL belongs to KUSH CC

Define Valuation Class

SPRO -> Material Management -> Valuation and Account Assignment -> Account
Determination -> Account Determination Without Wizard->Define Valuation Class
Valuation Class:
The Valuation class is a group of material with the same G/L account/ Group of material having
same account determination is called valuation class.
When you create a material master record, you must assign the material to a valuation class.
The valuation class is assigned to a material at the plant level.
The choices for valuation class are dependent on the material type. In general, several valuation
classes can be allowed for one material type. Also, the same valuation class could be allowed
for different material types. - The link between the valuation class and the material type is the
account category reference. The account category reference is assigned to a material type. -
The G/L account determined for the material is carried out according to the settings for its
valuation class.
We can group the different materials with the same properties into the valuation calls so that
there is no need to control a separate stock account for each material.

• All the materials with the same type are assigned to one valuation class.

• Various materials with the same material type are assigned to different valuation classes.
