If your pricing procedure have condition types like EK01 or EK02, there in most cases, this error will come. So first check whether you have any of these condition types.

Coming to your clarification, It is linked with your G/L Account. Go to FS00, input your sales G/L Account and click on "Edit cost element". There you can see the relevant cost element.

Dear Lakshmipathi,

I have EK02 defined in my pricing procedure.

But the error is coming for YFRF-Freight, which is picking the G/L account for which the cost element is not defined.

Anyways thnx for ur response.

This is bcoz you have not maintained the respective Cost Element. To overcome from this, go to KA01, input Cost Element 7584000 and execute. There maintain the required the Cost Element category under "Basic Data" tab.

Now retry the process.

thanks
