To set up a uniform account determination for different material types, what is the correct approach?

Setting up a uniform account determination for different material types is effectively achieved by grouping the material types using a common account category reference. This approach allows for a streamlined and consistent accounting process across various materials, ensuring that they are treated similarly from a financial perspective.

By utilizing a common account category reference, you can simplify the configuration process as changes made to the account assignments can be managed at a higher level for all grouped material types. This not only enhances efficiency and accuracy in financial reporting but also aligns with best practices in financial management within the SAP S/4HANA framework.

The other methods listed would not effectively create the desired uniformity. For instance, assigning unique account groups to each material type would lead to a more fragmented accounting structure, complicating the account determination process. Setting individual account assignments for each material type would similarly increase the complexity and administrative burden, rather than providing a streamlined approach. Lastly, using specific price determination procedures for each material type focuses on pricing aspects rather than on uniform account determination, thus diverging from the central goal of account consistency.
