Thanks and Regards

Correct Answer by Rick Back on Aug 4, 2010 7:37 PM
Krupa,
If 892000 is your normal cost of sales account, then generally that account
should not have been created with a cost element. That error is occuring
because a cost element exists for that account. If this is not your normal
COGS account then you will need to assign a cost object for this cost
element. You can setup a default assign in t-code (OKB9). If you think the
system is assigning the wrong G/L account to this transaction, then check
the movement type that it's using and the valuation class of the material.
The G/L account is assigned based on that combination in t-code (OMWB).
thanks,

Hi,
The error is triggered during GR if you are recieving goods against account
assigned PO .The reason being ,in such cases the Consumption account will
be debited during GR and not the inventory accounts .This expense incurred
has to flow to Controlling for further analysis(Profitability analysis) which is
possible by maintaining the consumtion GL as a cost element (KA01) .Further
the GL account requires an assignment to controlling object which can be a

Cost center ,Order etc .You can maintain the default account assingment in
OKB9.This should solve your issue

The G/l account which is given check in Fs00 -create/bank/interest see the
field status group.
Double click on that field staus group.when you double click you can see a
tab at the left side"additional account assignments" in that cost object will be
given as required entry.
YOU can change the status of field status group in OT32.
otherwise make the particular G/L account as cost element in FS00 by
clicking edit cost element tab at the top most corner at right side.

Hello,
there is not CO assignments done for this G/L.
Go to FS00, input the G/L as 892000, click on the edit cost elements button
on top right. It will ask for cost element (create one if it is not existing KA01,
you can use a G/L account). Create a cost center also, if not created KS01.
The cost elements has to be assigned to cost centers.

Also in KA01 create this G/L account as a cost element against your

You might have to seek help of an FI consultant to do so.

Hello,
sales order items are not in all cases available as account assignment
object, this is only the case if it is an order with make-to-order
production (VBAPKZVBR='E').
If the sales order item itself is a co-object (VBAP-KZVBR='E'), the
cost and revenues can be carried on the position itself and the field
VBAP-OBJNR contains the number of the co-object. Please check this for
your case.
Even if the VBAP-KZVBR is set to 'E', but if the field VBAP-OBJNR is
blank, the order cannot be the accounting object in KB21N - you should
rather use the receiving order for the activity
allocation.
You can check this in KB21N via the F4-help: if the sales order item
is not displayed here, it's is not considered as valid account assigment
object.
I hope this information will help to clarify the issue.
Regards
Claudia

Hello Rish,

Go to transaction KA02: enter that account (Cost element)and in default acct

assinmt tab
assign the Cost Centre.
Hi,

You can default it in OKB9 for the Gl account based on the profit center and G.L
account combination since Profit center will be obtained from the material master
assignment it can be done this way.
In transaction MIGO which is for Goods receipt it posts to Fi automatically through the
configuration in OBYC.
It will also be a cost element due t which it required an CO object. For this also you
have to maintain a Co object in transaction OKB9

Is this the first receipt for a sub-contract PO?
Make sure the PO is correctly created. At our business, that specific error message on a
subcontract PO means that the Purchase Order has an extra condition on it that is
trying to post. The correct response for this is to change the PO.
If the order is correct and the cost element is correct set the default cost center for the
cost element on OKB9

Requires an Assignment to a CO Object

The first time Account 820290 was only created in FI as a primary expense. After that this
account was created in CO too as a secondary expense and any posting will appear an
error: Account 820290 requires an assignment to a CO object
Question : How to correct this account back to FI only and not to appear in co?

The posting row affected is 000, account 820290.
First, if G/L account was created in FI, you can only create primary cost element in CO.
Secondary cost element can only be created if no account exists in FI.
Second, if you created the primary or secondary cost element in CO, you have to assign CO
account assignment.
You can delete cost element in CO (KO04) if dependent objects found.
Third, when you create cost element in CO, documents would be also created in Cost center
accounting and Profit center accounting when posing in FI. If no cost element exists in CO, no
related documents would be created in CCA and PCA.

OKB9 - Sounds like you are either missing config set up for default cost centre on the

If there is no way to specify cost object in the transaction directly, you should assign
a default one in OKB9.
There should be a default cost centre assigned to your GL account in the Company
Code in question.
Theck other similar company codes or other records in OKB9.
