Hi Ishikesh,

First of all are you using a make-to-order scenario or scenario where there is linkage to controlling?

This is an error because the G/L account which you have assigned in the customisation is requiring an assignment to any of the parameter which can relate it to the Controlling for e.g. Cost center or WBS element.

For this you have to have some guidance of Controlling customisation as this is not the directly an issue of SD module.

If the G/L is for Revenue then it will be a secondary cost element and not primary. If the G/L is a revenue element , then account needs a profit center. If a cost element , then account needs a cost center.

Please check first the field status of the account in Transaction: FS00.

If this account requires CO object as mandatory then check whether a cost element is created or not , this error normally occurs when CO object is mandatory but relevant cost element is not created.

You have a cost account defined in accounts determination (Transaction: OBYC), and every cost account must have a cost object associated (say, internal order, cost center, etc..).

You must decide what is the cost object to 'receive' the cost value on the account

Now, Look at Transaction: OKB9 - Display View "Account assignment" : Overview

In OKB9 specify weather this cost element give impact to cost center or profitability segment. If it is give impact to cost center then assign cost center against to cost element or assign it to PA.

OR, Alternatively -

Go to, Transaction: KA04 and delete the cost elements for your g/l accounts.

Go to TCode KA02 enter the controlling area, give the G/L account and click on Master data tab.

There select "Default Acc Assgmnt" tab and enter Cost centr and save.

Go to FS00, input the G/L Account and click on Edit Cost Element on top. There click on Basic Data and for the field CElem category, maintain the required numeric value. Now select the tab Default Acct Assgnmt and there maintain the required cost center and save.

thanks
