XK01 Account group 0003 uses ext no assignment Specify account number

Hi
When I am trying to create one time vendor in XK01 , after filling all fields (except vendor , when I click the enter I am getting the following error .
"Account group 0003 uses ext no assignment Specify account number "
Any idea where should I specify account number and what is this account number ? I mean is it GL account number ?
Thanks
SN

Hi Satya,
if you donot want to assign the external number range to the vendors.....use T.code XKN1..remove the tickmark from checkbox "EXT" and save.
Try creating again. The problem occurs because you have selected external number ranges for vendors in XKN1.

G/l Creation-asking for group account number

Hello Gurus,
I am creating G/l through Tcode FS00.But system pop the error .saying provide group account no I have not created any group account no please tell me how to create the group account number.
Many Many Thanks

Hi
You create a group chart of accounts (OB13) and assign it to your operating chart of accounts. you can establish link between every GL account in your operating COA to GL accounts in group COA via gl master (FS01/02/03) via group chart of account field. If you choose to use ECCS (Enterprise Controlling-Consolidation) , then for each GL account in COA you need to create FS Items in ECCS module (1:1) and build the consolidated COA. Otherwise group COA can act as consolidated COA.
You need Country COA if you need to meet reporting requirements of specific country. An MNC with operations in various countries can have a common COA (operating COA) to ensure standardisation of accounting, but use of operation COA doesnt help in meeting specific accounting countries of country of operation. this arises need for country COA and you can establish a link to each GL account in country COA to GL accounts in operating COA via gl master (FS01/02/03) via alternate chart of account field.
So group COA sits on top to provide consolidated reporting (in much summarised form, cause 1 or more GL accounts in operating COA can be linked to 1 GL account in group COA) and then you have operating COA (to ensure standardised accounting across countries and facilitate cross company code controlling) and then alternate COA for meeting local requirements.
Please go through the below mentioned related links

Group account number / Group Chart of Accounts

Hi all,
We have created a new group COA and have assigned it to the company COA.
(In a production environment) We have assigned the group COA number under the Group Account Number of the company COA.
There is already transaction data's posted to these GL accounts for the entire year.
1. How to update these transaction data's with the Group Account Number?
2. Is there any program available to make this updating?
Thanks in advance

Hi
Our client is planning to create a group account number and populate the group account number in the GL master. They already have transactions posted to the group account number.
But the question is how to populate the group account number on the historical trasnactions. Did you find a solution for this problem?
Appreciate if you can provide the solution

Financial statement by group account number

Hi,
I need a financial statement version list by the group account number. I thinking of creating a chart group of account and assign it in the operational chart of account. Then, I thinking of enter the group account number in the master account data ' field group account number' and finally create a statement version with the option flag 'group account number'. As I was reading this functionality is possible, but I want to confirm with someone. It is important to mention that I won't use consolidation, only I want to report a financial statement with the group chart of account.
Does anyone use this functionality without consolidation and tranding partner?
thanks,
Cecilia

Yes, the steps you mentioned are correct.
By this you will be able to report the same balance sheet in Group Chart of Account Financial Statement Version format. (It is not mandatory to do the consolidation.)

Where do I find the Group account number in SAP system

Hi All,
I have the same problem. I work in a company where all was installed and configured before my arrival and so I always need to do a lot of research to solve a problem.
I tried somedays ago using txcode FS00 to create a new GL account but got stocked because the system requested a Group Account Number (Consolidation data in Charts of Accounts).
I do not know where to find this number in the system. After a very long search, I have given up searching and hereby ask for your help.
Can anyone tell me where to find the Group Account Number in the system. Is there a txcode for this? I tried already OBD4.
As I am new in the SAP world, a step by step explanation will be appreciated.
Many thanks in advance

Hello aolowu
Group Account Number field has lot of year/period end ramifications. Here is the definition " When you define the balance sheet and PL structures, then accounts are assigned to line items within the balance sheet and PL. This assignment is made either via the G/L account number or alternatively via the group account number given in this field. The usage of the group account number offers the advantage that by specifying a number, a group of accounts can be assigned immediately to the balance sheet or P+L item". Suggest you work with a FI guy.
To quickly get over however, you can enter the same number that you are creating in that field. At my current client, I have seen several accounts set up like this, although many of them have a different number there.

Group Account Number

Hi FiCo Masters,
I'm getting the Error message text " Make an entry in field Group Account Number" while i am trying to createa a GL account.
Can you pls help me to create a GL account without giving Group account number.
Regards,
Yatheendra Nath

Hello
Are you trying to create a GL account in chart of accounts area.
Probably, you should create in company code area.
When assigning the group account number, please note the following:
Accounts of the same type may be stored under different numbers in different charts of accounts. You can group these accounts together under a single group account number.
Accounts with the same account number may actually be different types of account in different charts of accounts. You can assign these accounts to different group account numbers.
In the financial statements, the system displays the group account number.

Reg. Group account number in FS00

Dear Expers
I want to create G/L account, when I save the following entry occured
"" Make an entry in field "Group account number "
In OBD4 I have mentioned as INVY ,even if I enter the same the above error occured.
Pls help.
Thanks
Rajakumar.K

Hi
The Group Account Number is different from Account Groups. In case of multilocational/distributed company codes we may have different Chart of Accounts for the Operational purpose and Group Reporting.
In the transaction OB13 we assign the Group Chart of Accounts to the Operating Chart of Accounts. Check the settings.
The Group Chart of Accounts has its own GL Account No. You will have to specify one of the GL from Group CoA when creating an account in Operating CoA.
Thanks

Dummy group account number

Hello experts,
our client is currently implementing a group chart of accounts. They have some statistical FI accounts which are not relevant for group accounting purposes. Is it common practice to assign a dummy group account number to these FI accounts?
Regards
Maria

As we don't have your table structures and indexes, and info on row counts etc. to look at we can only guess.
My first guess would be the Materialized View:
ACCOUNT_COST_CATEGORY_MV
which is doing a full table scan even though you are filtering/joining on some ID type columns (which I would guess are some sort of keys).
It would seem the materialized view either doesn't have any indexes, or that the indexes are incorrect, or that stats have not been gathered for that MV.

Group Account Number not available

We have a new company in the USA, and it uses Chart of Accounts: CANA.
The other companies are in Mexico and have another COA, lets say: MEX1.
I want to assign to the new American company a Group of Accounts, so in OB13 I assigned in the field "Group Chart of Accts" MEX1
Now when I go to FS00 for the American Company code, I supposedly should see a required field "Group Account Number" but I do not see it.
If someone can point me to my mistake please let me know.
Regards,
Carlos

Dear,
Please maintaining Group COA at OB13. after that you will able to see required field.
Please revert.

GTML is my group chart of account
While saving it shows
ERROR MESSAGE: "Corporate group account 1000 not defined in group chart of accounts GTML"
where i have to create it??? how to create????
Regards,
Vijay.T

1. Create group COA in OB13
2. Assign this group COA to your operation COA in OB13(Consolidation > Group COA)
3. Create GL accounts for your group COA in FSP0
4. While creating the GL account for operation COA, you have to mention group coa gl code under consolidation data in COA tab in FS00

Group Chart Of Accounts and Group Account Number

Hi SAP Gurus,
For the sake of consolidated reporting, we are planning to create group chart of accounts and assign a Group account number to the GL account master. The structure is going to be like this:
Operating Expenses (Group Account : 461000).
Air Conditioning Exp   (GL account 461000001)
Elevators                   (GL account 461000002)
Coffee and snacks      (GL account 461000003)
This is being done to achieve a detail level reporting at the company code level and a consolidated reporting at a group level where the reporting would be based on group account or FSIs. We would define a financial statement version based on FSIs.
My question is : do we need to activate the consolidation (EC-CS) module to push the data to the FSIs or the data would flow automatically to the group account if we assign this to the GL master. If we go to fetch the data from the ECMCT table, do we need to have a consolidation unit?
Any inputs are highly appreciated.
thanks
sri

Hi,
There are certain preliminary steps to be carried out in ECCS. You can find them under SPRO->Enterprise Controlling->Consolidation->Integration: Preparation for Consolidation.
You need to choose the type of consolidation, create Company, link it to Cons Unit in ECCS, Creating/Copying FS Items (each account in Group COA will have an FS Item; 1:1), etc.,
After the setup, you actually need to carry out Rollup or Flexi Upload for importing FI data into ECCS FS Items. This is done to Data Monitor - CXCD.
In ECMCT, typical selections would be Dimension, Cons Unit, Cons COA, FS Item.
I suppose these preliminary steps are requried for the data to flow to FS Items.
Hope this clarifies.
Rgds.
