Cost element (G/L account) required with CO account assignment

[Former Member]

Hi.

I get the message "Cost element (G/L account) required with CO account assignment" when I run the transaction FMW1 (Funds blocking). My EA-PS version is 617 and SAP-APPL is 617 too.

Anyone know why this problem occurs??

Thanks.

Jose Augusto,

Does the GL Account you are using have a cost element? You must use a GL Account with a cost element.

Thanks

Dear,

Hope you G/L account is treating as a cost element, as  P&L account it needs a cost object.

Kindly check transaction OKB9 for default assignment of cost center.Hope this will help you.

Hi.

Thank you for your quick responses.

But this error only happens when I fill the field order number or the field WBS element.

If I only fills in the fields Commitment Item, Funds Center and Fund, I can generate the document.

Jose Augusto,

The earmarked funds documents are documents that exist in both CO and FM (tables KBLK and KBLP in CO and FMIOI in FM). It appears that when you enter an order or WBS (both CO objects), CO requires a GL Account with a cost element). When you only enter FM Objects it does not. This is standard system behavior.

Thanks

Instead of filling the fields Commitment Item and Funds Center, I filled the fields G/L Account and Cost Center. The values for the fields Commitment item, Funds Center, Fund and Measure were derived by FMDERIVE  and the document was generated.

Thank you for your help.
