Group Together Valuation Areas

In this step, you assign valuation areas to a valuation grouping code.

The valuation grouping code makes it easier to set automatic account determination. Within the chart of accounts, you assign the same valuation grouping code to the valuation areas you want to assign to the same account.

Valuation grouping codes either reflect a fine distinction within a chart of accounts or they correspond to a chart of accounts.

Within a chart of accounts, you can use the valuation grouping code

• to define individual account determination for certain valuation areas (company codes or plants)
  Example

• to define common account determination for several valuation areas (company codes or plants)
  Example

Requirements

• You must have activated the valuation grouping code in the step Define valuation control.

• You must have defined the valuation level in corporate structure Customizing.

• You must have assigned each plant to a company code in "Corporate structure" Customizing. When assigning your plants, the valuation areas are defined automatically.

Recommendation

We recommend that you only use a valuation grouping code within a chart of accounts in order to prevent account determination from becoming confusing.

Default settings

In the standard SAP R/3 System, valuation is predefined at plant level. All plants are grouped together via valuation grouping code 0001.

Activities
