ADG for Product Categories

[Former Member]

Hi,

Would someone be able to tell me what is the process to create ADG for product categories so that we dont have to manually select the accounts in PO and Supplier Invoices.

Is the same possible for Sales products as well?

Thanks

Hello Puru,

You can maintained Default account Determination group for Product categories in the business configuration activity : Edit Default Account Determination Group for Product Categories

When you create the document, with just a product category and do not provide the material/ Service details, system will check the account determination group maintained in the above activity.

From this account Determination group system find the respective GL account to which postings will be performed.

Thanks Harshal.

"Edit Default Account Determination Group for Product Categories" can only be maintained after the Account Determination is maintained for Services and Materials in Inventories and Cost ledgers in

fine tune activity "Chart of Accounts,Financial reporting structure, account determination".

By maintaining ADG for product categories, will I be able to use this even in purchase orders?

Thanks

Hello Puru,

When you create purchase order, You can either enter product. In that case, system will determined GL from the ADG maintained for the Product.

Same way if you do not maintain Product and go for the free text item, then you will need to enter the product category. based on the product Category system will find the ADG from the activity : Edit Default Account Determination Group for Product Categories.

From here system will determine the respective GL account from the activity : Chart of Accounts,Financial reporting structure, account determination. (As Lokesh mentioned, Cost ledger for service and Inventory ledger for material.)

Hi Puru,

Adding to the above if you

Once you maintain the account determination group for product categories in the fine-tune activity "Edit default account determination group for product categories'

You need to Go to fine tune activity 'Chart of Accounts,Financial reporting structure, account determination'.

IF the account group maintained is for 'SERVICE'

then select Sub-ledger 'COST' then maintain the account determination group and corresponding General Ledger account to it.

If the account group is 'MATERIAL' then you need to go to Subledger 'INVENTORIES' and add account group and GL account for it.
