Default cost element unexpected OKEP

Hi Experts,
I ask for your help in the following situation.
In transaction KO88, trying to settle an order, the "Message no. KD503 - Complete allocation structure Z1" arises.
"Diagnosis :
During settlement, the system puts the sender debits into groups (assignments), which are settled using the same settlement cost element. The settlement assignment is made in the allocation structure, which is stored in the settlement rule for the sender (under settlement parameters). Cost element 5111900300 cannot be assigned to a settlement cost assignment in allocation structure Z1, and therefore it cannot be assigned to a settlement cost element."
This cost element "5111900300" is the default class for the controlling area (transaction OKEP).
The strange behaviur is that in past months the settle for this order never get to the Cost element indicated; to test the settle, the cost element was added to the allocation structure Z1, and it was found out that the FI docs refering to Down Payments are the ones that take this cost element into the settle, and it is strange because in past months the down payments in the same PO takes the correct cost class.
It is strange too that the corresponding FI doc for the Down Payment producing the error has not asociation with the Purchasing Document; that could be the reason it is not taking the cost class from the PO.
I know is a little complex, but I can not found out a note for this and support refers to this as a consulting issue.
Thanks in advance.

Hi..
System response is correct because in OKEP default cost element is posted without ref of PO.
If you want to post in ref of PO don't assign any cost element in OKEP.

Default Cost element pick up despite there is no setting in config.defined

Hi,
During external services(control key PM03), system picks up default cost element in maintenance order. Irony is that I have set no default cost element in "External procurement service in Config". I have also checked there is no default user data, despite this default cost element system picks up.
Please suggest me what to do.
Thanks & Regards
D.Singh

Once you enter the control key PM03, you will get pop up for maintaining material group. If you have defined the material group in config, cost element will be picked up from that.
Cost element will be picked up from the Material group which you mentioned in Order or in config.

We have implemented PS module for some company codes and hadn't implemented for others, when we are trying ot create a downpayment requrest its asking for default cost element assignment.
We would like to know wheather this default cost element assignment at controlling area level will impact all the company codes or will it be applicable only to those company codes which are useing PS module.
Please explain the detailed process flow if possilble.
Thanks & Regards

Hi
It will not affect all company codes . Revenue will be generated for a particular company code for which you have created a project.

Default GL account (cost element) for external service contracts

Hi everybody,
question about GL being defaulted from contract for external services
The requirement is to have GL (cost element) being defined per service sub item defaulting to work order. Account assignment is unknown, because the costs might be settled later to cost center or AFE or else.
You could default cost element either through material group (which doesn't enable cost element to contract) or with account assignment category 'K' or 'F' which do not suit, cause the former requires cost center, that is unknown yet, whereas the latter requires assignment to order which doesn't make sense at all. Theoretically, it could be done with acc assignment cat 'U' , but cost element is not enabled with that category..
I was assuming that cost center which you are required to enter along with cost element while creating service sub item referring to some sort of internal accounting. The system also requires service sub item acc assignment category being aligned with requisition (which is 'F') and would in fact create PR referrencing actual work order number. But still, doesn't it make sense having contract referencing another order.. Also, we don't use default values for PM ext operation data.
So, the question is how to accomplish the requirement with Unknown assignment category? what is the point of defining cost center in the contract in given circumstances? Is there any work around exists?
Thanks in advance
Sergey

Hi,
Try this: IMG -> Plant Maintenance and Customer Service -> Maintenance and Service Processing -> Maintenance and Service Orders -> Functions and Settings for Order Types -> Create Default Value Profiles for External Procurement.
After that assign it to order type: Default Values for Task List Data and Profile Assignments.

Hi,
I think you need to maintian the default cost element for DP to vendor for WBS (Capex). For controlling area specific you need to assign the cost element of category 1. This you have to maintian in Development and transport the change thu quality to production.
Controlling are name, cost element for Vend DP.....

Hello nagesh simhadri ,
I have the answer for your problem, i think that you already solved it but the answer will be useful for the others, because i had the same problem and i found your post...
In fact, there is a customizing parameter to set:
SPRO -> PROJET SYSTEM -> Costs -> Actual costs and Forecast -> Update down payments -> Define default cost elements for down payments
or simply you can use the transaction code OKEP.
I hope that this will help someone...
Best regards,

System does not accept Cost Element on External Activity

Hi Experts,
I have maintained the cost element in network profile under the activity type. When I create external activity in project builder system populates the default cost element entered in network profile BUT when I maintain Material Group in activity detailed data, system removes cost element and issues a message "Enter cost element".
System does not accept any cost element in the field. Please guide if there is some setting that I have missed
Thanking in advance
Warm Regards

Via txn OBYC also check if the VBR entry with a blank valuation class is missing
If so get your FI/MM consultant to advise the entry details with relevant cost elements

Default account assignment in cost element creation

Thanks

Hi
If you are aware of FI substitution or validation, it works the same way
1. Go to OKC9 and click on New entries
2. Enter your contr area and choose Event = Line Item and Save.. It would ask for a transport request
3. Now click on the magnifying lens icon, then drill down on cost accounting > Line Item. Now click on Create Substitution icon and give it a name
4. Now click on Create Step and write your substitution by choosing fields from the COBL structure
It should like like, Prerequisites: IF COBL - BUKRS = XXXX and Cost Ele = YYYY,
Action to be taken if Pre-req is met - Substitute WBS = ZZZZ
