Hi

In network profille OPUU , under activity tab page , and for service cost element field you enter a cost element

so no need to enter a cost element in service activity in cj20n .

it will be defaulted there

Hi,

I mean each activity in one network profile could be have different cost element. If i set in network profile default to 1 cost element could have some issues.

Appreciate.

Hi

Actually the cost element u r giving for service is nothing but G/L account only

Because it is a primary cost element which is created by creating G/L account 1st .

U can check in tran fs00 by giving same cost element number , u will find that it has same g/l.

so no issue

but any way cost element field shoud appear in service activity detail screen . so lets check this

In nerwork profile OPUU r u using any overview varient ?

Pl check it

and remove the overview varient from there

Hi.

What do you mean by overview variant. I go to OPUU. It shows cost element under one network profile. But if i set in that 1 network profile belong to 1 cost element how about another network activity that belong to another cost element.

Hi,

Yes. It is already blank. But the cost element field still not appears when we create activity service. It shows :

Please specify a valid account assignment

Message no. SE181

Diagnosis

You have entered an account assignment category in the document item for which an account assignment is mandatory.

All account assignment lines in the service specifications either have been deleted or are inactive (e.g. account assignment lines of a contingency item).

Procedure

Please enter an account assignment for the services or value limits.

The entry of an account assignment is unnecessary if you choose "unknown account assignment" in the document item.

Hi,

If in servic detail (service specifications : Ext. Specs Task List Maintain) I cant see material group. It only show service no, short text, quantity, group price , there is no cost element.

If in external tab the material group is 200102.

Hi Nies,

You have mentioned in your post that you are providing service number, means are you maintaining service master for all the services??

The business scenario is not clear from you post.

Do u means to to say like there can be Civil related, Mech related , Elec related services and these services hit different accounts in finance.

In such case you maintain the Mat/Srv group in the service master and make the cost element defaulted from it.For material group the MM team will maintain an account to get defaulted for account assignment.
