GL account wrongly maintained as cost element

Hi,
One GL account which would allow to post WIP value is wrongly assigned as Cost Element and during settlement through KO88 vlaue is not being allowed to post due to cost element gl "G/L account 711005 cannot be created as a cost element". Even after removing cost element category from table CSKB it is still not allow to post. There is no balance exist in GL account and debit and credit figure is equal. This GL account is very vital and we have to post this GL account through settlement without assigining new gl account against this WIP.
Kindly need any suggestion..
Best Regards,
Samrat Roy

Hi Samrat,
As per my understanding you would like to delete the cost element for the WIP GL Account. and you said that the debits and credits for this GL Account are same. If there is atransaction data exists, you could not able to delete the cost element.
for this first you should delete the transaction data. i.e., need to delete the all the CO documents for that cost element. for this there is a program to delete the CO documents i.e., RKACOR20. once you delete the CO documents, then you can able to delete the cost element for the specified GL Account. then you can run the WIP without interruption.
Thanks & Regards,
S Vasu

You can create a GL account from transaction FS00.
Put the name of the GL account & company code & click create or you can also create from template. from the same screen you can create primary cost element by clicking on edit cost element.
Or you can go to transaction KA01 & create primary cost element.

Alternative account number instead of cost elements in controlling reports

Hello.
Is there a possibility to show alternative accounts numbers from country charts of accounts instead of cost elements / account numbers from operative chart of accounts in CO reporting?
Thank you for your answer.
kind regards
Andreas

Not in a standard report.
With ABAP anything is possible. And it should be relatively easy - create the report as you want with the cost element (In report painter), have the ABAP execute the report, and in the result, swop the cost element with the alternative account.

Consumption accounts not created as cost elements - Implications

Hi
There are following GL accounts as an Expense GL accounts:
Cost of Raw Material Consumption
Cost of Finished Goods Manufactured
Cost of Finished Goods Sold
Change in Stock WIP.
I have not created them as cost elements since its asking me cost center when i do any PGI or issue to sub contract stock, etc.
So i wanted to know the implications on CO-PA if i do not create cost element. I believe that value will flow to CO-PA on the basis of material code.
Further my doubt is, if i do not create it as cost element, how it will impact my cost center reports and product costing.
Please help. I am confused very much.

Variance GL account not made as cost elements

We have created reports through report painter where we can see all the cost elements and cost cenetrs . Variance GL accounts are not there as they have not been created as cost elements .Is there any way to get GL accounts in the report painter report against cost center.....
We are not using the New GL . Is there any problem if we create these variance accounts as cost elements and do OKB9 .please suggest

Hi,
You can create the Cost element Account for Variance and assign it to cost center via OKB9.
You can also consider to show this element in COPA line item if it is activated assigned to source and value fields.

G/L account 59500140 cannot be created as a cost element

Hi Viewers,
When I try to do the KO88 Process order settlement i am getting the below error:
G/L account 59500140 cannot be created as a cost element
Message no. KQ119
Diagnosis
When maintaining the posting rules for passing on results analysis data to Financial Accounting, you entered a G/L account that is defined as a primary cost element in cost and revenue element accounting. This is not allowed. You must enter a G/L account in the posting rules that is not defined as a cost element.
System Response
The entry invalid.
Procedure
You have the following options:
Enter a G/L account for which no cost element is specified in Cost and Revenue Element Accounting.
You can change the message type with user-defined error management (transaction OPR4_KKA). What should be observed when you enter a G/L account in a posting rule that is defined as a primary cost element in Cost and Revenue Element Accounting? You need to define a CO account assignment so that the posting defined in the posting rule can be executed. You do this with transaction OKB9 (default account assignment) or OKC9 (substitution), or using the default account assignment in the cost element master.
I would like to know the GL Account 59500140 is a P&L Account. Is it correct?.
Please help me to overcome from this issue.
Thanks & Regards,
Aswin

Execute transaction code FSP0 and check whether the account is a P&L or a Balance Sheet. Nevertheless, you can only enter accounts that are not created as cost elements in customizing transaction OKG8. If you enter an account that is also a cost element, then you need to configure default CO account assignment using OKB9 or a substitution using OKC9. Please refer to the following SAP Notes.

Taking wrong cost element in Preventive maintenance.

Hi Pm Gurus,
I am running Preventive maintenance scenario. I have created T/L with External service as control key (PM03) and given description of external service (no service no), entered material group, cost element, price, Purchase group etc. when the call object is generated from the mainteance plan which is assigned with the above task list, i am not able to see the cost element in Maintenance Order external services view, the purchase Requestion is getting generated automatically in the maint order, when opening the PR the account assignment differs from what i given in the T/L. so at the time of settelment it causing error.
Kindly let me know what settings i have to check.
I have already created default profiles for external services, material procurement and assigned to the order type.
Thanks in advance
R. Loganathan

As mentioned in above threads, you can check for cost element in OBYC.
Cost element for External Service will be derived in following ways.
1. Create Default Value profiles for External Procurement
2. If you have maintained material group & valuation class in service master, it will check in OBYC for GBB. Double click that. In the next screen, search for VBR with the valuation class mentioned in service master. Cost element should have been maintained, that will be filled up.
3. If you have not maintained any valuation class in service master & you maintained material group in service master, it will check for valuation class in IMG => Material Management => Purchasing => Material Master => Entry aids for Items without Material Master. In that screen, search for material group which has been in service master. Take that valuation class. Do the same step as in step 2.
4. Neither Material group nor valuation class in service master, do the same as step 2 & for the VBR without valuation class would have been maintained. Cost element will be taken from there.
5. If no data is maintained in above settings, then the cost element will be picked up from task list.

From which table check 'cost element' and its corresponding GL account?

Hi,
May i know from which could i check the cost element field and its corresponding GL account field??
Questions:
"the getting cost element should check the corresponding GL account, but I canu2019t find the
corresponding table which include these two fields. So, if you know the table in which cost element can check the corresponding GL account, please tell me ."
Is below way correct:
From table CSKA, i could get the chart of accounts related with the cost elements.
Then from table SKA1, i could get the GL account according to chart of accounts field.
Then i got an relation between Cost element with GL account??
Thanks!!

Hi
Could not locate the table, but could find that, if you come to transaction KA02, click on Environment - Display General Ledger account - In Chart of Account/ In Company Code option, then you can display the GL account for individual cost elements.

CO-PA: COGS accounts created as cost elements

hello,
I have a question regarding COGS accounts, being created as cost elements. This was not causing problems, because client was using real internal orders for profit analysis. In the next phase of project, during implementation of costing based CO-PA, now I have problem, because of this situation, because I can not delete created cost elements (only possible at the beginning of the new fiscal year) , and the system asks for cost object assignment during GI creation. I was considering OKB9 assignment, but I think this will cause double values in CO-PA. Maybe temporary solution, by using real internal orders till the end of the year, and then deleting existing cost elements for COGS accounts, could work?
Please, advise what to do to solve this situation.
Thanks in advance,
Dusko

Hope you are not using account based COPA
To avoid double values in COPA, you can do one of two things,
1) after the costs are transferred to the internal order, you can just keep them there without doing settlement, let the users know that there will be under absorption for the internal order.
2) If the users are not willing to have under absorption in the internal order, you can transfer the costs to a value feild in COPA which is not reflected in the report in KE30 (Remember that you may loose one value feild in COPA this way)
Both make no effect on KE30 report as data will be transfered to COPA at the time of billing
