Revenue Account Determination 

Use

Revenue account determination in Warranty Claim Processing serves to automatically determine the G/L accounts to which the revenue, sales deductions (additions and deductions) and tax should be posted when posting the credit memos to the claimant or debit memos to the reimburser. Amounts from debit memos to the reimburser are posted as positive revenue, amounts from credit memos to the claimant are posted as negative.

Integration

Revenue account determination in Warranty Claim Processing is identical to the revenue account determination that is used in SD (Sales and Distribution). The only difference is the RW application for Warranty Claim Processing.

You can find further information in the standard documentation under Working with Account Assignment.
