modification also. Depending on Movement types & account assignment categories, SAP
has provided Standard Account modifiers like BSA,INV,VBR etc. The valuation modifier will
allow Plant specific G/L account assignment. Like “0002” is for plants 31 & 32, the valuation
modifier is 0002 & for 33 it is 0003. In case of Service where no material master is
maintained, the valuation class is kept blank in key WRX & G/L account is assigned for
specifying the Service GR/IR clearing account if valuation class is set in RULES . However if
Both GR/IR clearing & Service clearing account are the same it can also be done by
selecting RULE as valuation modifier only. As in this case G/L accounts are assigned to
modifier 0001, 0002 & 0003.
