cost element in FRL in obyc

[Former Member]

hi all

we have created external service account as cost element and that is mentioned iin transaction key FRL in obyc

so whenever i am doing the GR for subcontracting posting system will debit the FRL account and will credit the GR/IR account

so at the time of Gr system is asking for the co object now thing is that i cant mention the Cost center there as there is no option in migo for that

my query is do we have to create a new account for FRL and that we should not make up as a cost element but then how we are going to pass the expense entry to controlling module from FI

Hi

Go to OKB9 and for this cost element assign a cost center responsible for this cost.Then system will automatically update the costs to the assigned cost center.

This will resolve your problem.Let me know if u still have an issue

we cannot assign the default cost center as for different plant we need differenet cost center so in that case your solution is not possible and apart form OKB9 we can put the default cost center in

Cost element also

Hi,

There is always an alternative way of defaulting Cost Center for one cost element.You can put default cost center at Cost Element master data. But still I believe , you can solve this problem thru OKB9. Try accessing the tab Default Account Assignment per business area/Valuation area. This tab allows you within one company code and for specific Cost element , to put accross different cost center for different plan/valuation area provided you are working with plant as valuation area concept.

Pls check and let me know

Cheers
