Assignment to a controlling object

Is there a setting you can do to a IDoc to accept the profitablity segment. For example when i try to debit an account which has a cost element 12 (sales deduction) attached to it, it doesnt post it asking Assignment to a controlling object. COPA is active in my case. How can I get the idoc to post automatically by accepting the profitability segment.
Please help
Thanks

Account 1910116 requires an assignment to a CO object

Hi,
I had error: Account 1910116 requires an assignment to a CO object when i tried to post to GL Account 1910116. Then I input the cost center. Then i got Enter a true account assignment object with revenues error.
Please advice me on the matter.
I would appreciate if also can advice where is the setting for tru account assignment.

Hi,
it shows that ,You made an account assignment for A/C 1910116, a revenue element, in controlling area 4444 to a cost center or profit center.
Cost centers and profit centers can carry revenues in the SAP system as statistics only. To ensure reconciliation between FI and CO for revenue element 1910116, a CO account assignment object must record the revenues as a real value. This object type is used for updating to the reconciliation ledger.
In principle, it is possible for the SAP system to automatically derive this CO account assignment object, the reconciliation object. However, all postings made in CO for costing-based Profitability Analysis are logged in the reconciliation ledger under "reconciliation object". In this manner, the reconciliation ledger identifies the exact values flowing into the operating profit. If you post reconciliation objects during revenue postings to cost centers or profit centers, you must do so while keeping the interpretation of the reconciliation ledger reports in mind. The sums of revenue postings to profitability segments, cost centers, and profit centers cannot be broken down further.
To avoid posting to reconciliation objects, make account assignments to a real CO account assignment object.
or else, you can change the message controll ,following below mentioned path :
Controlling --> General Controlling --> Change message control
Hope it helps.

Account 300000 requires an assignment to a CO object while I am trying to

Dear Experts,
Account 300000 requires an assignment to a CO object while I am trying to do posting from billing doc to acc doc .
When I am trying in KA01 to create cost element then sym will ask in default acc asst cost centre .After when I do trying create cost centre in KS01 sym giving error message u2018 Controlling area XXX does not have a standard hierarchy (please assign one)u2019
Again if I trying to create std hierarchy in (OKEON u2013 Change) getting message u2018
u2018You have not yet created a cost center standard hierarchy for COAr xxxx
So wt should I do for this error to clear.?
Regards
Ishikesh

Hi Ishikesh,
First of all are you using a make-to-order scenario or scenario where there is linkage to controlling?
This is an error because the G/L account which you have assigned in the customisation is requiring an assignment to any of the parameter which can relate it to the Controlling for e.g. Cost center or WBS element.
For this you have to have some guidance of Controlling customisation as this is not the directly an issue of SD module.
If the G/L is for Revenue then it will be a secondary cost element and not primary. If the G/L is a revenue element , then account needs a profit center. If a cost element , then account needs a cost center.
Please check first the field status of the account in Transaction: 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.
You have a cost account defined in accounts determination (Transaction: OBYC), and every cost account must have a cost object associated (say, internal order, cost center, etc..).
You must decide what is the cost object to 'receive' the cost value on the account
Now, Look at Transaction: OKB9 - Display View "Account assignment" : Overview
In OKB9 specify weather this cost element give impact to cost center or profitability segment. If it is give impact to cost center then assign cost center against to cost element or assign it to PA.
OR, Alternatively -
Go to, Transaction: KA04 and delete the cost elements for your g/l accounts.

Karthik.

We are having Profit Center assignment with each line item and is also having configurations in VKOA Transaction.
Can you please suggest how can we post this document in G/Ls.
Rgds, Krishan Raheja

Hi Krishan,
There are four possibilities, please check
Go to T-code: KA02: enter G/L account (Cost element) ---> default acct assignment TAB -->assign the Cost Centre ---> save.
Now try your 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 centre, cost element, WBS element
OR
Use t.code OKB9 --> assign G/L account to cost object with your company code ---> save.
OR
Go to your biiling document --> Item level --> On item detail page --> check the "Profit center --> If its not ther then maintain the require entry in GGB1 and Material master
OR
For more check the link

You need to enter an Internal Order or a Prof Segment to a revenue line item...
If you do not want to do this, then convert this message into Warning message in OBA5

Re: Account requires and assignment to a CO object.

Hi Friends,
I have a problem in Controlling can u please solve for me.
Question: Account 21460001 requires an assignment to a CO object.
Can you give me answer in detail.
Awaiting for your urgent replies & Have a nice day.
Points will be assign
Thanks in advance,
KUMAR.B

Hi
In case of Controlling module following are the objects with reference to which the information flow to CO.
1. Cost Centre
2. Sales order
3. Production order
4. WBS
5. Network etc.
In your case please check the particular account in OKB9 Transaction where the automatic assignment set.
If you set the cost centre in cost element it will always post to the same cost centre or you have to change the cost centre regularly as and when the same account partains to different cost centre.
If the above answer is helpful kindly assign points
Thanks & Regards

F110 AutoPayment KI 248 Account Requires an assignment to a CO object

Hi Guru,
I have found a problem that when run F110 proposal, several accounts shows the following error message in job log. I have searched other webpage on the same problem but it doesn't work.
Tried solution: OKB9 assign cost center to the account. KA02 assgin default cost center to the account. But all the above can't solve the problem.
The error message is:
Account 658215 requires an assignment to a CO object KI 248
I found the account 658215 was for revaluation gain/loss. But it is confusing that the open item for vendors are all posted in local currency. No foreign currency is used in auto payment also.
I tested the same vendor in QA system but it gave me no errors. Only in PRD it has the error message on proposal.
Could you please help to throw some light on the problem?
Emma

Hi,
Kindly check the cost element 658215 (i.e) what cost element category assigned, since you said in QA it has been successfully posted, you can compare the same.
Also, try to simulate the document in PRD through FB01 for the GL account 658215 and assign the cost center manually and check whether the same error is appearing. If not, then your assinment in OKB9 is wrong or the cost center is deactivate or block.
Let me know if the issue is solved.
Thanks and Regards

How do you search through configured Alternate Extensions to correct error message : The phone number or extension has already been assigned to some other object.

When configuring a new Unity Voicemail Account I receive this message : The phone number or extension has already been assigned to some other object. I understand that this means that the 10 digit number I am trying to configure as the alternate extension for this user is already configured for another object with Unity.
I need to search by the 10 digit number and determine where it is configured so I can change it and map to the correct end user.
I have attempted to to search Users via DTMF Access ID using the 10 digit number with nothing being returned via that search.
How do I Search all of the copnfigured Alternate Extensions within our Unity Server?

A subscriber info dump is likely the fastest way. If you're curious regarding other methods, you can also use the Data Link Explorer (CUDLE) tool which is in the Cisco Unity Tools Depot. All extensions for all objects are referenced in the "DTMFAccessId" table. The View menu has a Query Builder which you can use to compile a SQL query that searches for a digit string. It's best to search for both the 10 digit string as well as an abbreviated string as Unity sees them essentially the same and they are usually should be associated with a single subscriber. Once you find a match, you can use the "ParentObjectId" value associated with the DTMF access ID to look for a matching owner in the "GlobalSubscriber" table. The ParentObjectId should match the SubscriberObjectId for a subscriber (assuming the DTMF access ID is assigned to a subscriber). This is the same thing as looking at SQL; however, you are not directly accessing the DB so this is generally considered the safest way to browse and get a feel for where things are.

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.

Posting Advances gives error : requires an assignment to a CO object

Hi,
When I am posting trip advance through PRRW, it gives the error "account XXXXX requires an assignment to a CO object" but when I am posting expenses it dose not give such error.
Any possible reason for such behavior.
Thanks
Rohit

This I believe is because advances are not included in the FM update process triggered from travel management. This is a missing functionality but previously advances reduced the budget in the posting process of a trip request if the wagetype for the advances was customized with a CO receiver.
This was an error because in this case the handling of the commitment item for advances was not correct.
With the introduction of the note 1096393 in the support package, the advances are no longer taken in consideration for the FM
integration, they are not updated in FM at all.
So I think this is why it works correctly for expenses but you get error for advances.
