Using the Accounting Indicator in SD 
Use
Customer Service requires detailed information on the costs incurred by a particular service transaction. You can use an accounting indicator to identify costs on a service order, not just by cost element but also by how the cost was incurred (guarantee, free of charge delivery and so on). You assign the accounting indicator to the service order on the HeaderData tab page in the Service section in the AcctIndic field. For more information on the service order, see
Service Order in CS Customer Service.
When you perform resource-related billing, the accounting indicator is copied from the service order into the resulting debit or credit memo request item and subsequently into the debit or credit memo item.
You cannot change the accounting indicator in the SD documents.
When the debit or credit memo is forwarded to Controlling, the accounting indicator is forwarded with it.
The accounting indicator can be included in pricing to determine prices for guarantee or goodwill transactions. The condition type KBM1 has been defined in the standard system for calculating and recording discounts for these transactions. You can use it as a template for creating your own condition types.
Condition records of this type are forwarded to Controlling with the classification "Accounting indicator". By linking the condition record to the underlying billing document item, the system finds the relevant accounting indicator and the appropriate sales deduction account to which the information from the condition record and the billing document is posted.
Prerequisites
