what is the use of account modifier in automatic account

hi

can someone explain the use of account modifier in automatic account

The Account Modifier is used to break account determination down by movement type.

For example, by default in SAP, the system says for movement type 101 and posting key PRD there is no modification. However, I can enter a code (e.g. XXX) against movement type 101 and posting key PRD and code YYY against movement type 102 and PRD.

Then in u2018Configure Automatic Postingsu2019 when we go into posting key PRD, we will make entries for u2018general modifieru2019 XXX, account 400001 and YYY of 400002 (there will also need to be an entry for a u201Cblanku201D modifier which should cover all the other movement types).
