Definition

Indicates that the preliminary account assignment is to be derived from the G/L account.

Changes in procedure

If you have set the indicator and the account determination facility supplies a G/L account, the preliminary account assignment is determined automatically.
This means that the system assigns the relevant item to a cost center, an order or a profit center.

The assignment can be carried out at the following organizational levels:

  • Company code
  • Valuation area
  • Plant

If Inventory Management is not active in your system, you must specify (enter) the preliminary account assignments for all the items manually. Setting this indicator enables you to by-pass this step. You will then no longer get the dialog box for the entry of a preliminary account assignment.

You maintain the automatic account assignment specification facility using the Customizing functionality of Financial Accounting under Maintain automatic account determination.
