MM Pricing: Account and Accrual Keys

Former Member
0 Kudos

Hi !

In a calculation schema we can assign Account Keys and Accrual Keys to condition types.

I am noticing that if I assign a Accrual Key, the Account Key is ignored.

Is this a correct observation?

If I assign a Accrual Key do I have to leave Account Key blank?

Under what circumstances, if any, would it make sense to assign both Accrual Key and Account Key to a condition type in a calc schema?

If someone can clarify my confusion, I will appreciate it.

Thanks,

Anisha.

Anisha,

Please note accural key are in action when "Purchase account Managment "is active for your company code .So please check Purchase account active or not (IMG-MM-Valuation and account assignment-Account determination-Acc.dete.without whizard-Purchase account management --activate purchase acc management in company code).note that puchase acc is used in following country only...Belgium,spain,portugal,france italy,finland....

Use of accurals---With the aid of the account key, the system can post amounts to certain types of accruals accounts. For example, rebate accruals which are calculated from pricing conditions can be posted to the corresponding account for rebate accruals.

The Accrual is just as Insurance all are one account but from different accoount keys also.

For clarity what is frigght and what is rebate for that purpose useful.

You will see the impact of this configuration only if you have a freight condition type used in the PO and the corresponding automatic account determination settings are done. So to really check the functionality of account key along with accrual key, create freight conditions, set the automatic account determination etc, with freight condition enabled for accruals etc..

Only then you will see the significance of this configuration..

Ramesh,

I did have FRA1 condition in the PO I tested.

If possible, please test this in your system.

You will notice that you will not receive any error messages and the process will work just fine.

Thanks,

The accrual keys are specifically useful for freight and rebate conditions. Accrual key without an account key is useless. Through accrual key accounting entries for accruing the related expenses are posted to the account determined by that accrual key. These accrued entries are later used for time based rebate calculation or freight deduction etc.

Hi Ramesh,

You have said that 'accrual key w/o account key is useless', however that is not my experience.

In RM0000 FRE is the account key for FRA1, and FR1 is the accrual key. I removed the FRE account key from the schema and took the PO all the way through IR. It worked perfectly. It appears that everything works fine even if the account key is not specified in the calc schema.
