Hi Sasikanth,

Is the GL account balance sheet - asset account or asset reconciliation account ?

Please find the F1 help when double clicking on 'Edit cost element' in FS00 for the GL account.

Balance sheet accounts cannot be created as cost elements in cost accounting, except for:

Asset reconciliation accounts Material stock accounts for valuated sales order stock for sales orders or projects.

This is one of the most common causes for your situation.

Also, please refer to the following note, which contains important information about profit center inheritance into cost elements lines:

1592018 - Document splitting: Profit center inheritance in cost elements

Hope this is helpful,

Best Regards,

Omar
