Account Groups vs Account Types

 

account type系统好像已经设置好了（assets、customer、vendor、material、G/L account)

account type是不能修改的
在chart of account里创建的都是g/l科目，所以account type是g/l account
customer主数据创建的账户是记录在应收分类账，所以account type是customer
依此类推

凭证之中对account type的控制有几个方面
- posting period variant里面的控制，是否打开了凭证行项目之中输入该类型的account type
- document header里面的document type，是否允许行项目之中输入该类型的account type
- 还有就是line item里面的posting key，一种posting key对应一种account type
如果行项目输入的是gl科目自然就进入总账
如果行项目输入的是customer id进入的就会是ar分类账和gl，总账科目是统驭科目

 

 

 

 

Account Groups are a classifying feature for G/L,Vendor and Customer master records.
The account group assists in screen display and account numbering. each master
record must be assigned to an account group.此定义摘自SAP AC010教材，可我在做IDES配套
练习时，发现account group 还有诸如Liquid funds accounts,general G/L accounts,Fixed
asset accounts, Materials Management accounts,P&L accounts,recon.account等

Account Types When psting line items, there are 5 types of accounts that may be
entered:Customer,Vendor,G/L account,Asset and Material.The posting key defines which
type of account is being used.

 

 

Account Group
An object that attributes that determine the creation of master records.

The account group determines:

The data that is relevant for the master record
A number range from which numbers are selected for the master records
An account group must be assigned to each master record.

Account Type
A key that specifies the accounting area to which an account belongs.

Examples of account types are:

Asset accounts
Customer accounts
Vendor accounts
G/L accounts
The account type is required in addition to the account number to identify an
account, because the same account number can be used for each account type.
