If a user creates a material, he must enter the material's valuation class in the accounting data. The R/3 System uses your default settings to check whether the valuation class is allowed for the material type. The valuation class is a group of materials with the same account determination. If a transaction is to be posted to different accounts depending on the valuation class, create an account determination for each valuation class in the step Create automatic postings. The valuation classes allowed depend on the material type. Several valuation classes are generally allowed for one material type. A valuation class can also be allowed for several material types. The link between the valuation classes and the material types is set up via the account category reference. The account category reference is a combination of valuation classes. Precisely one account category reference is assigned to a material type.
