Can we create the Purchase order that using P&L account or just using account do not use cost center.

Dear Experts,
Could you please advise :
1) Can we create the purchase order that using profit and loss account ? ( if yes , which kind of account assignment category we should use ?)
2) How to create a purchase order for service charge .( just using GL account )
Thanks & Best Regards,
Watson

Hi,
   May I know why you do not use cost center for consumption?
   You may create a new account assignment category in OME9 by copying K and maintain the cost center as optional. Please note that you have to maintain the item category blank and the account assignment category combination in OMG0. Now, you can use a GL account in PO which doesnt require a cost center assignment (in OBC4 against the field status group of the GL)
   You may use the same account assignment category created in the previous step with item category D, after you maintain the combination of the account assignment with item category D in OMG0.
    Please test the scenario and revert back.

KI 235 Account requires an assignment to a Co object during GR/IR clearing

Hi All,
I have an above issue during GR/IR clearing. The scenario is below
We have maintained three currencies
AED-Company code currency
USD-1st parallel currency
INR-2nd parallel currency
At the time of GR/IR clearing, it is giving the above error for the Exchange Gain / Loss GL account maintained. There is no difference in the company code currency, but the difference of 0.01 is appearing in the USD amount which is posted to Exc Gain/Loss account. But at the time of doing the automatic clearing account vide transactin code f.13 it is giving the above error. We have already done the setting in OKB9 and have assigned the cost centre to the respective GL account as per different profit centre.
Kindly inform if anybody has come accros this issue and how it was resolved.
Thanks
Mahesh

Hi Raheem,
I am running transaction code f.13 GR/IR clearing account. We have maintianed 3 three currencies. 1st AED-co code currency, 2nd usd- parallel currency, 3rd INR- parallel currency. At the time of clearing system is giving above error of account requires an assignment to a co object for GL account of Exchange Gain/Loss account. The exchange rate difference is coming for the 2nd currency ie USD. In the leading ledger there is no problem. We have done the setting in OKB9 and assigned the co object for Gl account of Exchange gain and loss. Hope you have understood the issue. Is there any solution apart from the setting in OKB9.

First Dep Run - Account requires an assignment to a CO object

Hi,
We did a legacy data transfer for this november, for a whole company code Fixed assets. We run the initial load in our testing environment and now we are trying to run the first month depreciation (Nov09)
When we run Nov an error message is displayed (Y00_FI024 Account requires an assignment to a CO object). It seems to be very clear, no Co object assignmet there but it is not that simple.
Every assets has an unique Cost Center,actually I tried a manual posting to this cost center an it is possible. Later I reviewed the ACSET config and it is set as follow.
KOSTL Cost Center * Generic Trans. Type APC Values Posting
KOSTL Cost Center * Generic Trans. Type Depreciation Run
Actually I can review the Journal entry that is trying to post and all the information is there: Doc type, posting key, Gl accounts (with the correct account determination), cost center.
I don't really know what else to check.
Could you help me with any imputs? maybe something missing in the configuration?
Regards,
Adela.

Done,
It was a validation that is set for this company.

G/L account requires an assignment to a CO object

Hi All,
In transaction VL02N when i am entering outbound delivery number and trying to post goods issue it is giving me error as specific G/L account requires an assignment to a CO object.
Outbound delivery number i got from sales order through transaction VA02.
Can any one tell me why this error is coming and how to sort it out?.
Thnaks.

Hi Raymond,
I understood what you said. Let me explain my requirement in brief .
We create order through VA01 transaction, we used to put cost center at the time of data entry for particular material so that for the G/L which is showing this type of error has not assigned any fixed cost center.
When i'll put cost center through FS00 to that G/L then i think it will also affect other entries. And finance people don't want to assign any fixed cost center to that G/L as at the time of data entry they used to put it manually.
And basically this problem is coming for few materials in the same order, when i am trying to post outbound delivery of those materials .
any solution for this ?
Thanks.

FIINT transaction : Account requires an assignment to a CO object.

This is related to FINT transaction in FI . After executing and clicking on "process forms for all interest items" getting message
Account requires an assignment to a CO object.
Also the Gl code account displaying is incorrect .
Please suggest.

Hi,
Use transaction code: KA02: enter G/L account(Cost element) and in default acct assinmt TAB,assign the Cost Center and save.
Now try ur transaction.
OR
Check the field status of the account in FS00. If this account requires CO object as mandatory then check whether a cost element is created or not , this error normally occurs when CO object is mandatory but relevant cost element is not created.
Example: CO object may be cost center, cost element, WBS element
OR
Use t.code OKB9 and assign G/L account to cost object with ur company code and save.

ABT1N   Account ** requires an assignment to a CO object

Hi Dear,i am using tcode ABT1N to transfer asset within inter-com entity,but i got error "Account ******** requires an assignment to a CO object"
my understand is cost center already entered in asset,then that GL will auto-derive cost center from asset master as CO object assignment,why still have that message?

Hi,
Please have a look on the following tips to solve this issue:
1. Check the settings in the following customizing
SPRO -> Asset Accounting -> Integration with the General Ledger -> Additional Account Assignment Objects
In there you must find Cost Center / Internal Orders as ACTIVE
2. All asset masters must have defined a cost center / internal order
in table ANLZ. You can check this information by trx. SE16.
3. In "field status group" of account assignment, cost center and internal order must be optional.
To check this information, you can go to trx. AS02, double click on account determination, then select tab "Create/bank/interest".
4. Check if you have set additional cost center determination by trx. OKB9 that can be affecting the "cost center" derivation.
5. If company code has been defined as "Business area fin.statement";, then Cost Center won't be derivated from Asset Master. Check txn OBY6.
6. Please verify the settings of:
SPRO -> Asset Accounting -> Integration with the General Ledger -> Additional Account Assignment Objects
-> Specify Acct Assignment Types for Acct Assignment Objects
There for your company code, for all transactions (*) cost center must be active, so it will be derivated from Asset Master.
I'd also like you to have a look on the following SAP notes:
684659: FAQ concerning account assignment objects as of release 4.70 ;
106968: FAQ: Account Assignment Logic

Account requires an assignment to a CO object-very urgent

Hi experts,
I have 2 questions
1.while doing transaction MI07 -post inv.differences its giving an errorr <b>Account requires an assignment to a Co object.</b>
2.while doing transactions called MIGO for a particular PLANT its not trigerring an GL account and giving an errorr as <b>Account requires an assignment to a CO object</b>
pls try to slove this issue.
points are considered.
Thank you and Regards
sasikanth.

Hi
While doing MI07 it requires a posting to a P&L account for the difference as it is going to be charged off, and if this GL account is a Cost element it will ask for a Assignment to CO object. 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. If standard cost is maintained then there may be a posting to price difference account hence 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
This will solve your problem.

Account requires an assignment to a CO object - KI235

Dear Sap Experts,
We just activated new GL functionality, when testing few scenarios from sales we got an error as "Account requires an assignment to a CO Object". We created sales order with profit center and while doing PGI we are getting such error , we have created COGS GL as revenue element. Can anyone guide us how we can fix this issue..?
Thanks,
Lokesh

Hi Lokesh
Is this COGS account assigned in OBYC- GBB/VAX??
This should not be made as a cost element as per SAP recommendation

First identify GL account which you have assigned in OBYC . then go to FS00 and enter your account no. and press on Edit Cost Element in that there is 3rd tab page Default account assignment there give cost center and save it.
Now try once again.

Account requires CO assignment

Hi
I am doing billing and when i click on flag in vf01/vf02,I am getting error that account requires CO assignment. I have also assigned cost center in OKB9. Please tell me if there is any other setting for CO assignment.
Thanks
Moderator: Please, search before posting

Either assign a cost center in OKB9 at Plant Level or at Comp Code level
If you enter cost center in the 1st screen of OKB9 - It is @ Comp Code level
if you enter cost centers in "Detail Per Plant", that is OKB9 at PLant level....
What you have done is assigned cost center @ "detail per PC"... Pls do at one of the above levels

CO Account Assignment: Profit Centers and Cost Centers Assignment

Hello Experts,
I am trying to understand profit/cost center assignment at the contract level. My client has requirement to assign them based on utility type. So I was wondering should I assign them during move-in at contract? Any suggestions would be of great help.
Thanks.
Kind Regards,
Nikhil J.

Nikhil:
Firstly - the assumption here is that 'utility type' equates exactly to contract or service. If not, then assignment is not appropriate, and should be looked at in the account assignment EK01.
If it is equivalent, then you can use various ways of defaulting depending on the initiator. If CRM, then it can be filled in CRM and passed to ERP or filled by the MDT when bdoc is processed in ERP. If ERP then it can be filled with CMOD enhancement.
There is no configuration for assignment default at contract level, only at charge level.

bill.
