How does the system find the relevant accounts?

When entering the goods movement, the user does not have to enter a G/L account, since the SAP system automatically finds the accounts to which postins are to be made using the following data: Chart of accounts of the company code Valuation grouping code of the valuation area Transaction/event key (internal processing key) Account grouping (only for offsetting entries, consignment liabilities, and price differences)

Valuation class of material or (in case of split valuation) the valuation type
