Let me clarify the High Level overall process of Account Determination. The account determiantion usually takes place through combination of Material Type, Valuation Class, Valuation Grouping Code, Valuation Area, Movement Type, Chart of Accounts, Transaction Key and then the GL will be determined. So the steps in the account determination is:
1) MM creates material type. Material type has Account category reference in it.
2) MM creates valuation class and they assign the valuation class to the material type through Account Category Reference.
3) While creating a material master, a valuation class is assigned in the accounting 1 view.
4) Activate valuation grouping code and assign it to valuation area.
5) Now create a PO for the material created on step 3 with a price.
6) During MIGO_GR 101, the accounting entries posted are Inventory Account-BSX Debited, GR/IR Account Credited.
The movement type is assigned to the Acccount Grouping Code and Account Grouping Code has transaction key in it. In the Transaction Key BSX under OBYC we maintain Valuation class and GL Account. So during 1010, system picks the GL account through the transaction key and the valuation class. WRX comes in action only when the posting is related to external accounting.
If you are planning to bring inventory into storage location (Movement Type 561) then a different posting will takes place. As it is a one time activity,it does not deal with external accounting like vendor accounts. In this case, Inventory Account BSX will be debited and GBB-BSA will be credited. System determines the GL through Account Modifier.
When you check in OMJJ (Movement Type 561), under account grouping code, the transaction key will be GBB and Account Modifier will be BSA. This means, during 561 posting, the account modifier decides which GL account the posting should be done to.
I hope, I have cleared your concept of account determination.

We use statistical internal orders to have more detail on the cost center for tracking activities in a vineyard.
