What is automatic account determination?

Question

Accepted Answer

Automatic account determination is a feature in SAP MM that assigns the appropriate general ledger accounts to various transactions and processes.

Automatic account determination is based on predefined rules and settings in the system.
It ensures that the correct general ledger accounts are used for different procurement and inventory management activities.
The account determination process considers factors such as material type, valuation class, account category reference, and transaction type.
For example, when a purchase order is created, the system automatically determines the general ledger accounts for goods receipt, invoice receipt, and inventory postings.
This eliminates the need for manual account assignment and reduces errors in financial postings.
