Automatic Account Determination in SAP MM

What is Automatic Account Determination? 

Different transactions in inventory management and invoice verification are relevant to accounting. These transactions must be recorded in an accounting document containing the postings to the FT G/L accounts. The G/L accounts to which the postings are made in such a document should be determined automatically by the program as far as possible.

Example: 
When a. raw material is issued for a production order, postings are made to stock accounts (under credits) and to consumption accounts (under debits).

in SAP MM process,  automatic account determination is a. procedure applied to accounting-relevant transactions. The system uses it to identify the G/L accounts to which postings are to be made without any user intervention. Therefore, these accounts must be entered in a. special table in Customizing for the transactions in inventory management and invoice verification.
