Enter a true account assignment object with revenues - WARNING MESSAGE

Former Member

Hi All Experts,

I am configuring PCA. Where my GL balances are not getting updated with having assignment of Profit Center. I am getting this below warning message :

Enter a true account assignment object with revenues

Message no. KI166

Diagnosis

You made an account assignment for 410000, a revenue element, in controlling area 8000 to a cost center or profit center.

System Response

Cost centers and profit centers can carry revenues in the SAP system as statistics only. To ensure reconciliation between FI and CO for revenue element 410000, a CO account assignment object must record the revenues as a real value. This object type is used for updating to the reconciliation ledger.

In principle, it is possible for the SAP system to automatically derive this CO account assignment object, the reconciliation object. However, all postings made in CO for costing-based Profitability Analysis are logged in the reconciliation ledger under "reconciliation object". In this manner, the reconciliation ledger identifies the exact values flowing into the operating profit. If you post reconciliation objects during revenue postings to cost centers or profit centers, you must do so while keeping the interpretation of the reconciliation ledger reports in mind. The sums of revenue postings to profitability segments, cost centers, and profit centers cannot be broken down further.

Procedure

To avoid posting to reconciliation objects, make account assignments to a real CO account assignment object.

If you want to post to reconciliation objects, you can change this message to a warning or a note for future users, or deactivate the message entirely. Use the Implementation Guide under "Controlling: General" and choose Change message control. Enter area KI and message number 166. If you do not enter an individual user here, the change is valid for all users.

I dont understand when I am giving PC as CO Object assignment which is I think true assignment for revenue collecting over. Still system showing this warning message. I know this can be supressed by just pressing ENTER and I can save. By posting in this way document even , I am not able to draw any report based on PC, neither KE5Z or F.01. All says No data found.

What configuration piece I am missing ? Can any expert guide ?

Regards,

Revati Joshi.

Hi All,

The reason you dont get the report in KE5Z or other reports of PCA has nothing to do with this warning mesage. If you are not getting report then follow the below IMG path

IMG > Controlling > Profit Center Accounting > Basic Setting > Controlling area Setting > Activate direct Posting> Set control parameter


Chek for online transfre and line item should be ticked.

with regard to warning message if you have not implemented CO-PA then simply call the transaction OBA5 & give ''KI'' in application area > new enteris & enter message number 166  & enter the setting for switching off the message.

If you have implemented CO-PA please refer to note

Just go to OKB9 and check the Cost Element, whether any default cost center or Profitability segment have been been assigned or

not.

If not, check if the Cost element is Revenue related, assign Profitability analisys. If not, check with settings of PCA.

You shoukd never assign PC to a cost element ntil unless it is a Revenue element.

Hope it helps

Thanks

Dear,

The GL I am using is my sales Revenue GL account with cost element - 11 Category. My OKB9 is completely blank. I have not configured CO - FI reconciliation part, is it because of that ?

Completly blank means, you might not be using the CO-PA.

If you are using CO-PA, then how you are posting all your revenue accounts without Automatci Account Assignemnt.

Please check

Dear,

I am not at all using CO - PA. Just a simple PCA scenario I want to use PCA for revenue recognition. So while posting sales accounting entry system is asking me for PC as I have defined the Sales GL account as a Cost Revenue element with 11 category.

I am working with manual account assignment not automated.
