Hi friends,

I encountered the above error and tried to solve it by reading all the related messages in the forum, but still my problem exists, hence seeking help.

The transfer to accounting was working fine, but recently the users have created a new division and based on that Internal Orders, Profit Center, Business Area and Cost center has been created. In the Sales Order at item level the internal orders, profit centers and Business area is populated correctly. Billing is done but posting does not work.

Checked OKB9, VKOA has been working, profit center in material ....

Can someone suggest more options please.

Regards,

Udaynath.

Talk to your CO consultant or counter part. The G/L account needs to be assigned to a Cost Center.

You need to maintain cost center in OKB9 for the particular G/L account for which you are getting error.

Please check the account determination analysis of the billing document.

CntrlShiftF12 after entering into the billing document with VF03.

May be you may get the required information for the determination of the accounts.

Report back if the problem still exist.

Thanks Mohammad for the reply, the G/L account is determined properly. The error is about CO.

Hi Amit, read your thread on the same topics being put on this forum again and again. Very much agree with you on that. But there are times when even after going through all the threads and checking them something is still amiss, hence hoping an experienced hand to help.

Anyways as advised this is the error message i got.

Long text.

Hi Sridhar,

I checked in the Quality client, in the acct assgnment tab of the GL account there is no cost center assigned, still the accounting document was being generated. Is it really required ?

To rectify this error you need to assign G/L account to one cost center.

Please compare your scenarios in production & quality to get it resolve.

Dear Udaynath,

As, you have already confirmed about your Config-settings in T. Code: OKB9 and VKOA

I suggest You, to maintain a Cost Element for the G/L Account no. XXXXX.

Go to T. Code: KA01, and create a Cost Element "XXXXX", under Controlling Area..

Meanwhile, i check for other alternatives.
