Whether Inventory is required or not for the material is controlled at material type and valuation area (plant) level. In OMS2, Configuration required for each material type qty and value updating at valuation area level. Case 1: If both Qty and Value update indicators are selected then PO can be raise for stock purpose and at GR material can be placed in store on qty basis and this Qty means stock value will be updated in inventory or stock G/L account. Case 2 : If qty update selected and value update not selected for material type at valuation area level, These material type related materials must procure for consumption Purpose. Means you should select account assignment category in PR and PO. At GR, received material is placed in store on qty basis but material value will be booked in relevant consumption G/L account but not in stock or inventory g/l account.

1st Part :
Chart of account includes G/L accounts. This chart of account to be assigned to one company code or multiple company codes.

here you assigned the valuation grouping code with combination of company code and chart of account and valuation area (plant) combination. If suppose similar account determination required plants are grouped together , here you can assign same valuation grouping code to multiple plants (or) multiple valuation areas. 2nd Part : Material type and Account category reference and Valuation class. Step 3 : Define Valuation Classes.(OMSK) In this step, you define which valuation classes are allowed for a material type.

Bijay already explained about Account category reference (ACR) in below link http://scn.sap.com/community/erp/logistics-mm/blog/2013/10/31/account-category-reference-acr--grandfather-ofautomatic-account-determination-process So I am not going to this detailed.. As account category reference is main controller and Mediator for material type and valuation class.

Step 4 :Define Account Grouping for Movement types (OMWN)

Note : It is not possib le to define new valuation string and new transaction event k eys but account modifiers are editable with any movement type, for GBB or PRD or KON transaction k eys are triggering then only account modifier also triggers.
Based on movement type system is triggering a valuation string and this valuation string is again triggers several transaction keys.. but few transaction keys again triggers account modifiers or account grouping code also. Below are the transaction event keys relevant account modifiers GBB -------> BSA,INV,VBO,VBR,VNG,ZOB PRD--------.>PRA,PRE,PRU KON--------->PIP Step 5 : Configure Automatic Postings (OBYC)
