Points To Be Noted in SAP MM-FI Integration: 1. Movement Types
Points To Be Noted in SAP MM-FI Integration: 1. Movement Types
1. Movement Types:
Used to enable the system to find the predefined posting rules determining how the accounts of
financial accounting system are to be posted & to update the stock fields in the material master
data.(Goods Receipt, Goods Issue, etc)
2. Valuation Class:
Every Material will have a Valuation Class field. Valuation class could be Finished goods, Semi
finished Goods and Raw Materials etc. Combination of Valuation class+ The Movement types
determines the GL accounts.
Raw material procures with Valuation Class 3000 and go for processing , converted to
semifinished product with Valuation Class 7900 and finally Finished products
converted with Valuation Class 7920 which you can sale Finished products by creating a sale
order(VA01).
3. Transaction key:
4.Valuation Modifier:
Valuation modifier is also called as valuation grouping code. Use OMWM to activate Valuation
Grouping code.
Valuation grouping code is used to group the valuation area to minimize the effort, In SAP using
two types of valuation area
1.Company Code, 2. Plant, But the SAP recommends you to use the val;uation area at plant
level, because valuation will be differ from one plant to another, if need we can maintain the
valuation area at company level also,The valuation grouping code makes it easier to set
automatic account determination. Within the chart of accounts,based on our requirement to
define individual account determination for certain valuation areas or,to define common account
determination for several valuation areas
we can maintain the valuation group code in OMWD for the valuation area as Plant or Company
within the chart of account
5. Material Type:
Each material should assign material type in Material master record used to update whether
changes made in Quantity are updated in material master record & change in value also updated
in stock account.
ROH: Raw materials are always procured externally and then processed. Since raw materials
cannot be sold, a material master record of this material type contains no sales data.
FERT: Finished products are produced by the company itself. Since they cannot be ordered by
Purchasing, a material master record of this material type does not contain purchasing data.
DIEN: Services are procured externally and cannot be stored. A material master record of this
material type can always contain purchasing data
HAWA: Trading goods are always procured externally and then sold. A material master record
of this material type can contain purchasing and sales data.
Here there won’t be any accounting entry as this is simply like telling the Vendor what goods
you want, its quantity and the date of delivery etc.,
Step 2: When GR is posted .
When you receive Goods you CAN NOT make the following entry
Inventory A/c Dr
To Vendor A/c
because, some of the goods you have received may be damaged or may not be upto the mark or
for any other reason goods may reject, so before posting it to Vendor A/c we keep it in separate
place till we verify the goods. And the actual entry will be:
Here the goods received is Debited to inventory and Credited to a temporary A/c i.e., GR/IR a/c
Here you will post the invoice after you are satisfied with the goods received, the entry will be
GR/IR A/c Dr
To Vendor A/c
Now the goods are moved from GR/IR A/c and Vendor is Credited. Now you got the final entry
of Goods to Vendor Account i.e.
Inventory A/c Dr
To Vendor A/c
i.e., Inventory A/c was Debited and Vendor A/c was Credit and GR/IR A/c is Dr and also
Credited hence its balance became ‘Zero’, and it has to be Zero always.
Vendor A/c Dr
