Account keys have two parts:

1) The first part is about creating the account keys and assigning them to a pricing condition in the pricing procedure.
2) The second part of this is setting up the account determination(G/L number) for these accounting keys.
The flow is that you assign account keys to a pricing condition in a pricing procedure. This pricing procedure is picked
by sales order. In the sales order a $ value pricing condition is determined. All these prices flow from sales order to
billing. And then from billing to Accounting. So ont the basis of the account key defined for the pricing condition, the
customer accounting group and material accounting group, a general ledger is determined and this price entry is
passsed to this G/L.

For creating and assigning the acccoun key in pricing procedure you have to use the pricing procedure traansactions.
But for Account determinaion you will ave to use VKOA. This is an activity done by SD consultant but owned by
Finance people. Because they are the people who tell you the G/L number.
