Chapter 13 ■ Integration of FI with Other SAP ERP Modules
In this activity you will only be looking at the offsetting entry for inventory posting (GBB), which is a
predefined transaction code. Basically, the procedure for assigning a transaction key is the same. GBB has
several account groupings that you can choose from based on the relevant movement types. The following
list contains the accounting groupings for materials or goods movement types in GBB:
• AUF – Goods receipt for production orders with account assignment
• BSA – Initial entries of stock balances
• INV – Expenses/revenue for inventory differences
• VAX – Goods issues for sales orders without account assignment
• VAY – Goods issues for sales orders with account assignment
• VBO – Consumption for stock of material provided to vendor
• VBR – Internal goods issues to production/cost center
• VKA – Consumptions for sales order SD
• VNG – Scrapping/destruction
• VQP – Sampling
• ZOB – Goods receipt without purchase orders
• ZOP – Goods receipt without production orders
In this activity, you will only be updating general modification VBR (a predefined transaction key
supplied by SAP for internal inventory posting to G/L accounts) with the Material Consumption account.
After you configure the GBB-offsetting entry for inventory posting, the system will automatically post
materials or goods issued to production or cost center to offsetting accounts in FI by debiting the Material
Consumption account and crediting the Inventory account for materials.
