Introduction
This article explains how to change the cost component structure in six steps without losing cost component history.
The example is based on a typical food/beverage processing plant with two main lines: food/liquid processing and packaging. The initial cost structure follows an accounting scheme, mapping all the ingredients to one cost component, packaging materials to another, and labor, depreciation, and other production activities grouped into other 3 separate cost components.

Introduction
In SAP S/4HANA, automatic account determination controls which General Ledger (G/L) accounts are posted when inventory movements occur in Materials Management (MM). Correct account determination is essential for accurate inventory valuation, production cost reporting, and integration between Materials Management and Financial Accounting (FI).
A common question is how to identify the G/L account that SAP automatically selects for a particular goods movement. For example, when raw materials are issued to a production order, SAP uses account determination settings to identify the inventory account and the corresponding consumption account.
Transaction OBYC is used to configure automatic account determination, while table T030 stores the relevant G/L account assignments. You can display these settings using transaction SE16N, even when you do not have authorization to change the configuration in OBYC, provided you have the necessary table-display access.
In this article, we explain how to display and analyze SAP automatic account determination entries using OBYC, T030, transaction key GBB, account modifier VBR, and valuation class. We also demonstrate how these settings help determine the G/L accounts used when materials are issued to production orders.
