Cost center not picked up in the APC posting for Asset

Question

Hi,
The account assignment object KOSTL is active in system, with the below settings.
and below is the transaction type specific settings.
in the posting key and the GL accounts Field status groups, the cost center is optional and activity type is also optional.
In Asset master the cost center is maintained.
But while doing the Asset Acquisition postin the cost center is not updated in the document.
It was expected that the cost center will be derived from asset master and would have reflected in the 1st line item.
Please help me understand, if some other configuration has to be looked at for this perticular issue,
Regards
Rudra

Hi Ganesh / Rudra
CC in Asset Postings has a purpose
Since no Profit Center is directly maintainable in Asset Master atleast until EhP4 or 5, the PC in Asset APC line item was derived through the Cost Center or Internal Order maintained in Asset master
For that reason, your asset APC account must be created as Cost element, even though it is a Balance sheet account.. The cost element category will be automatically 90 - Statistical Cost element
Check if the APC account is made as Cost element or not.. That would be the reason most probably
Hope it is clear

PS :- I heard that from EHP5 or 6 PC can be directly maintained in Asset Master.. I have not seen it yet, so i cant comment on it
