Project System

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I got an issue with related to Project System, please can any one solve this it’s pretty urgent.

While calculating cost for the project in CJ20N it’s showing the following error.

“Message: 217 , Cost element 220000 in CO area BP01 does not exist for 06.06.2007 internal Order 4000324“

But to my surprise 220000 is a balance sheet item, it is finished goods inventory A/C, don’t know why it is asking for cost element.

Please advise me, its bit urgent.

If the project is set up with valuated project stock in the project definition, the costelement must be created for the balance sheet account. If you create the costelement in KA01 the system will automatically set the cost element category to 90 (Statistical balance sheet element). After this, the calculation should run witout errors.

Hi Giri

Normally the reason for getting costs calculated double up is a reporting error. Depends in which transaction you see the double up of costs. One norml reason is that twwo currency types are reported at the same time, so if you have e.g. CO area currency and Company code currency in the report everything will be doubled (if they are the same of course). Other reasons may be that the costs have been calculated in the network and manually entered on the WBS element or maybe copied from version 0 in the network to version 0 on the WBS element.

best regards

Morten
