Dear Friends

Is there any direct link between Item category and G/L account. As per my knowledge via account assignment the G/L get links. Please advice me.
Therefore, why the below link
spro->finance account new -> general ledger account new ->Business transaction ->document splitting - > Classify G/l accounts for document split.

Thanks

In SAP new GL functionality, GL accounts are classified by item category.

Remember, this item category split done based on document line items derived from Financial document (FI).

Please check below:

You must assign the following accounts in Customizing to the item categories:
Balance sheet accounts item category Balance Sheet Account (01000)
Bank accounts (cash fund) item category Cash Account (04000)
Expense accounts item category Expense (20000)
Revenue accounts item category Expense (30000)

The assignment of all other accounts is predefined by the system in table Allocation: Internal Key Item Category (SAP) (T8G16). You can override the
assignment of these accounts (for example, to assign the special G/L accounts for customers or vendors to the detailed item categories 02100 or 03100). To
do this, use the Override Internal Item Category Derivation indicator.
