MTO Orders

Question

Hi all
Everytime an order is raised for a material that has PTO for the field MRP Group {Material Master, MRP1 View}, its throwing an error at the time of converting the Purchase Req to a Purchase Order that says that account is not created as a Cost Element.
The specified account is the Cost of Sales Account, and has no Cost Element. We have no issues on any other order, be it, third party, std order, etc....
This maybe due to the fact that it is an MTO scenario and looks to settle to the Sales Order, therefore looks for an Cost Element...
the wierd part of this is that when i changed the planning strategy 20 {transaction code OPPS} in config where i made the Requirement type of Customer Req to KSV Sales Order with Consumption, it worked fine, however, it was conflicting with something on PP, therefore, i reversed what i did, now we are back to square one...
Thank u

Answer 1

I think it is possible if the planning sterategy is of combination of MTO/MTS like 50. the top level material to be planned as MTO and the componenets as MTS.
Define the Check books as FERT ---MTO ---50(Strategy group)
                Developing film -
HALB---- MTS -
                                            individual/collective ---2 ,
                other -
HALB/ROH--MTSindividual/collective ---2
For the Developing film --- select the approporiate lot sizing procedure
