Introduction
See Account Assignment References - Online help documentation.
You must assign an account assignment to each subledger position indicator. You can do this manually using transaction TPM3 or let the system determine the reference automatically from customizing the first time a position indicator is created or posting is made for the subledger position.
When you create a new deal, you also have to create a position indicator (if not already existing), in which you also assign an account assignment reference (manually or derived from customizing). Account assignment reference will be stored in TRAC.
Once flows for a position are posted, you can change account assignment reference, i.e. re-assign it to a position using transaction code TPM28 and reverse the transfer with TPM29.

Customizing Settings
You can find IMG activities relating to account assignment references in the SAP Corporate Finance Management Customizing. Choose Transaction Manager -> General Settings -> Accounting -> Parallel Valuation Areas -> Link to Other Accounting Components.
You create the account assignment references based on valuation areas in the IMG activity Define Account Assignment References.
You can use the following IMG activities for account assignment reference determination to define criteria according to which the account assignment references can be assigned automatically to the positions.
TPM32 - Define Account Assignment Reference Determination (OTC Financial Transactions)
TPM30 - Define Account Assignment Reference Determination (Securities/Listed Derivatives)
TPM31 - Define Account Assignment Reference Determination (Loans)
You can assign the G/L accounts to the account assignment references in the IMG activity Define Account Determination. You do this by making the determination of the G/L account for the position account symbols dependent on the account assignment reference.
You can track Account Assignment Reference Determination if you set AA_REF parameter for your user to "1" in the table TRACC_OPTIONS

Purpose
The purpose of this week is to present common reasons for the Account Assignment Reference (AAR) being missing or not determined.
Overview
After describing AAR, we go through three main reasons for AAR being missing or undetermined: when Valuation Area doesn't post to FI, when Valuation Currency is different from Company Code currency or when Update Types are not posting relevant. Finally, a workaround to specify an AAR is suggested.
What is the Account Assignment Reference for?
You can use the account assignment reference to determine the FI G/L account in which the position is to be managed. You can make this assignment of G/L accounts to account assignment references in the IMG activity Define Account Determination. This is achieved by making the assignment of G/L accounts dependent on the account assignment reference in Financial Accounting for the corresponding account symbols (position and interest/dividends received).
You create the account assignment references independent of the valuation areas. You can have the account assignment references assigned to positions based on the valuation area and/or you control the account determination based on valuation area and account assignment reference.
This characteristic is only displayed for the validity area of the architecture of the parallel valuation areas. That means that this characteristic is empty for the loans (CML) operative area (valuation area 001 in integrated reporting).
The customize AAR, follow the below path according to TRM area (OTC Transactions, Securities/Listed Derivatives, Loans)
Common reasons for Account Assignment Reference being missing or undetermined
Valuation Area does not post to FI
The system only determines or stores the AAR only if the flows should be posted to FI. To check that, refer to following customizing:
Financial Supply Chain Management
Treasury and Risk Management
Transaction Manager
General Settings
Accounting
Organization
Assign Accounting Codes and Valuation Areas
Double click the corresponding line for the Accounting Code/Valuation Area combination.
Under Data Transfer to Accounting, the field Posting must have the value “Post to FI” assigned to it.
Valuation Currency differs from Local Currency
Posting to FI is not possible when the Valuation Area currency is not the same as Company Code currency. To check that, refer to following customizing:
Financial Supply Chain Management
Treasury and Risk Management
Transaction Manager
General Settings
Accounting
Organization
Assign Accounting Codes and Valuation Areas
To check company code currency, access transaction OBY6 and refer to column "Crcy" for the respective Company Code
None of Update Types are posting relevant
For the deal with missing AAR, at least one of its Update Types must be posting relevant. To check that, refer to following customizing:
Financial Supply Chain Management
Treasury and Risk Management
Transaction Manager
General Settings
Accounting
Link to Other Accounting Components
Indicate Update Type as Relevant to Posting
The flag “Rel” must be checked for at least one of the Update Types used in the deal
Workaround
You can use transaction TPM3 to manually assign or edit an AAR to a deal.
