Error when createing cost element

[former_member651421]

Dear Friends ,

Following error appering when createing cost element , please suggest and explain the process in details ,

Create the G/L account 94100040 first

Message no. KS034

Diagnosis

You chose the function "Create primary cost element". Primary cost elements/revenue elements must have an equivalent in FI, meaning the account must already exist as a G/L account in FI. Account 94100040 was not created in FI, so you cannot create it as a primary cost element.

Procedure

Check whether you need to create cost element 94100040 as a primary cost element and for what purpose it is to be used for.

If the cost element is to be assigned to accounts in FI, create a G/L account in an FI company code.

Manually create G/L account

If it is not to be assigned to FI accounts (additional CO costs), it suffices to create the G/L account as a chart of accounts item.

Create G/L account in chart of accounts

You can create the cost element as a secondary cost element in CO. This does not require an equivalent account in FI.
