G/L Account assingment in PS for PR

[Former Member]

Hello everyone.

When we add a material component in PS, there is an G/L account for this material regarding to Valuation class.

For example, when i add a component, system assign an account 31*, it's a cost account, taken from GBB->VBR, after that PR is created with account 10*, this is an account for a material from BSX.

After that, i'm creating a simulation version for WBS-element and after version transfer i have a material component with G/L account 10* (i guess it's cause of existing PR), but there is an error occur (message CO 860 "The G/L account that you have entered is invalid."), system is trying to find 10* account in a cost account table... Maybe i'm missing something. Need expert advice, thanks.

Hi,  Orlov

I guess your G/L account 10* haven't been maintained the cost element. Please try it.

I've found the cause of the problem:

we have 2 accounts, 10* (BSX) and 31*(GBB-VBR)

When i add the material component to a project, system assign acc. 31* for the material (valuation class 1001), PR creates

After that, i transfer project to a simulation, and the account changes to 10* (system take it from the PR) and in understanding this is wrong, because:

The logic is in PS we assign cost account (31*)

PR is using a material account (10*) this is not a cost account

why in PS it changes to material account? Of course system can't find 10* in CSKB table

I don't understand logic of this process, could someone explain it?

Hello,

We have the same problem and we got a SAP Note for this:

Note 1712182 - G/L account of PR copied during simulation in CJV4

Unfortunatelly we get a dump after the implementation of this note, is when transfering the simulation to the operative project.

Check it out and tell us if this note are the solution of your problem.

Hello,

unfortunately i get that information for note 1712182: "The requested SAP Note is either in reworking or is released internally only". Though can't find similar one.

But, i've solved my problem by adding a Statistical cost element for balance sheet (90) in Cost element category for my account number.

But, still i guess there is a mistake in the process of changing account number.

I'd like to solve this problem, pls check note number.

Hello,

Yes thats right and that is because they are changing this Note, as I said i my last reply after implementing the note, CJV4 started dumping, so I think you should check it out soon or ask SAP about this. Maybe if people start asking they fix this soon.

1. Hi yuri,
2. Check whether you have entered the G/L account correctly. If necessary, correct your entry.
3. If you have entered the correct G/L account, check

• the validity period of the G/L account,
• the cost element type of the G/L account.

Hi Sanjeev,

G/L account assigned automatically, i can correct it to 31*, but i guess it's logically wrong, anyway it changes after simulation transfer.

I've checked validity period and cost element type with KA03, validity period is OK and cost element type is "1" - primary costs.

I think you need to check your OBYC settings properly. Please take assistance from your MM consultant on this. Maybe there is some issue with the auotmatic account determination.

I've checked my OBYC settings it's seems to be right. I've compared settings to IDES system  it's the same, but in IDES i don't have such error.
