Movement type and Value string

[#1]

Hi,

I have copied movement type 101 to Z02. Is it possible to change the value String from WE01 to something else. My purpose is to post to a different account instead of GRIR while MIGO for free goods. So please don't suggest me to change in OBYC as the change is going to effect every MIGO which we don;t want to happen. Any ideas?

Thanks

Hi,

You can try to use the standard movement type 511 for GR of free goods!

Good day

Its not advisable to change value string and i think SAP also recommends the same

Thanks for all your replies. But the requirement is if we select the free item check box on the PO, while MIGO movement type 101, we would like to post to a different account than the regular GRIR account or Purchase price variance account. Has anyone come across this kind of requirement?

Thanks

The value strings contain keys for the posting transactions that can

lead to G/L account updates in the case of an FI-relevant posting. These

value strings are predefined by SAP. You cannot change value strings or

the transactions they comprise in Customizing. For each of these posting

transactions, you can set up automatic postings in dependence on the

other influencing factors.

The value string controls the process of G/L account determination for

transactions/events of the movement type (see unit Valuation and

Account Assignment), whereas the quantity string controls the updating

of the material master fields.

In SAP R/3, the value string WA01 is assigned to various goods issues

and other goods receipts. Further differentiation in the automatic

account determination process for these different movements is

accomplished via the account grouping code.
