Error - Account requires an assignment to a CO object
We have created a Debit note for scrap material sale where we are charging "Cheque Dishonour Chg" to the customer.
The GL code attached to Cheque Dishonour Chg is a cost element with cost element category 1 - Cost / Cost Reducing Revenue.
Hence when we are releasing the billing doc for above debit memo sales order, the system is asking for assignment to cost object.
Field status group attached to above GL code is G004 - Expense accounts is having - 'Profitability Segment' suppressed.
Can any one please guide as to which cost object can be put here?
Regards
Ratna
I am looking at this area from a different perspective. However, what I believe you want is either a sale trx with or without a COPA document. If you want it with a COPA document, then you need a profitability segment (PSG) posting. You can have the OKB9 transaction derive the PSG posting by checking the associated box there. If you still have an error, look at FSG or the auto-post check box in FS00 transaction for the particular account.
However, if you want this account to be more of top side entry and not part of COPA, this is a more unique approach. On my system I have one or two accounts that seem to allow me to post manual journal entries (FB50) within the cost section without any CO Object of any kind. This seems like an impossible situation from what I understood about CO. We have an account and a primary cost element with category 1. This account is not auto-post only and is listed within the OKB9 transaction. Additionally, the field status group (FSG) shows everything as either optional (like CO Objects) or suppressed. This was the only way we found possible to post PO receipts into production orders for Make-To-Stock. I am not saying we are doing it the right way, but a way that seems to work.

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.

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
MaheshHi 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.

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

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.

Hello SAP Gurus,
I encountered an error when trying to enter tranfer posting through transaction MB1B.
After I entered the defaults for Document Items (Movement Type, Plant, and Storage Location), I put data to the Material, Quantity, UnE, and Batch fields and then press Enter. After that, I pressed Enter again and I got this error: Account 1520220 requires an assignment to a CO object.
What does this error mean? How can I correct it?
Thank you.Hello Rob,
Thank you for your immediate reply.
At what particular field in transaction MB1B should I enter the cost center? I am not really familiar with MB1B.
Thank you. -
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?
EmmaHi,
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

Please tell me how can i solve.

CO Objects here are Cost Centers, Internal Order, Sales Order, PS. Try mapping Cost Center or Internal Order in OKB9.
Profit Center is not true CO Object.

Account requires an assignment to a CO object in MIRO
Dear Experts,
Can anyone tell me why in OKb9 the Cost Element (small price diff) is not picking up the Profit center even though it is assigned in the default settings.
In OKB9 I have assigned 3 i,e, prf Centre is mandatory. The cost element is assigned in transaction key DIFF in OBYC, rules selected for debit/credit.
All other CE are picking the PC from OKB9, except this.
So in MIRO, while rounded off, the balance amt picking the the CE but not the PC, so the system throwing error " Account 4.......... requires an assignment to a CO object"
Please help me out asap
Abhihi abhi
the thing is based on what you have said above ... you have assigned values in the coloumn of profit center rather than a cost center in tcode OKB9...
and secondly let me clear one more thing in here i mean OKB9 you need to first assign your cost element comp code leave the cost center and profit center blank but dont forget to assign 1 in the column 'A" and save it.....
then select your newly assigned cost element in OKB9 and double click on detail per business area/ valuation area ...
in there select new entries and assign each of your plants to the cost center if its an expense
or a profit center if its a revenue
i guess you even try to change 3 by assineing 1= valuation area is mandatory i guess this can also work .. the above was an explaination for working with OKB9
