I am getting the message KI280 "Define a cost element category for account &1 (controlling area &2)" when posting. I don't want to change the GL Account Type from N Nonoperating to P or S to populate the cost element.
So I follow the message suggestion below to add the GL to the FCO_COPA_EX_N table. However, I still get the same KI280 message even with the GL already in the FCO_COPA_EX_N table. Any idea how to resolve this issue?
"Define a cost element category for account 520440 and post again or delete the auxiliary account assignment to objects in cost accounting.
With profitability segment assignment, the error message is only displayed when account-based profitability analysis is activated. Here it may be a good idea to suppress the error message and ignore the account assignment during the posting. This is particularly the case when the posting is not only relevant for the result from the usual business activity, for example for interest from cross-company sales in a billing document. Such postings should not be taken into consideration in the profitability analysis. In order to do this, you can define the account 520440 in transaction FCO_COPA_EX_N (IMG -> Controlling -> General Controlling -> Account Assignment Logic -> Exceptions for Postings to Profitability Segment)"
