The scenario is as follows:
Created a credit memo --> created credit note --> create accounting document
While creating accounting document, i'm getting an error message as 'The G/L account XXXXXXXX requires an assignement to CO object'.
Please let me know why i'm getting this error and how to overcome this issue.

First of all, I am not clear on your above statement as in normal circumstances, once you generate a credit memo, in bacground an accounting document will also be generated.
In your case, I believe while saving the credit memo, system throws the error to maintain CO object in which case, do the following:-
Go to TCode KA02 enter the controlling area, give the G/L acoount No and click on Master data tab.  There  select  "Default Acc Assgmnt" tab  and enter Cost centr and save.
Next Go to FS00, input the G/L Account and click on Edit Cost Element on top.  There click on Basic Data and for the field CElem category, maintain the required numeric value.  Now select the tab Default Acct Assgnmt and there maintain the required cost center and save.
