Automatic Goods Withdrawal and GL Code

[former_member1114066]

Needing a little help on changing a GL account code on a material item during the goods withdrawal stage.

Our system creates an MB1A goods withdrawal automatically when booking out store materials through a separate software program. The problem is, we are wanting to change the GL account for this automatic process on some of the materials, which is different from the stock ordering GL code.

When ordering material for stock, we want GL111 for example, but when the system creates a goods withdrawal/MB1A we want it to use GL 222 instead.

Which GL account you want to change: stock account or stock offsetting account?

Thanks for commenting.

I am new to SAP, and still only figuring out terminology and everything. I am not sure what you mean regarding stock account and offset account.

I'm in a manufacturing plant. Basically, we order parts from an outside vendor, using the material number assigned to that part. We then MIGO to pay vendor using GL 111. The part then sits in our warehouse until we need to use it. To which a goods withdrawal/MB1A is automatically created via a different software we use linked to SAP. The GL code for the MB1A is automatically assigned which is incorrect, I just cant figure out where or how to change it, or if we should be using a different process altogether?

The GL account to pay the vendor is different to the GL account we want to use when taking that same part from the warehouse.
