Service activity creation & automatic cost element picking up

[govind_gogate2]

Dear All,

We are facing a peculiar problem while creating a service activity in Project creation - CJ20N (Project Builder).

1) Created a project definition. ( say u2013 X200)

2) Created parent WBS element.

3) Created one Network.

4) Assigned one service activity to the network.

5) While assigning service master to the service activity, system is asking for a cost element. In other words, the cost element is not automatically picked up for the particular service master. Actually, while creating earlier project (say X100) & assigning service activity, system is correctly defaulting the Cost element.

6) Here the service number which we are using is the same as used in the earlier project (X100). In X100, based on the valuation class in the service master & settings maintained in the transaction code OBYC, correct GL account is getting picked up.

7) We can give the cost element manually. If we do this, system is giving another message u2013 u201CSystem could not determine a consumption account for service 2000000202u201D, though it is maintained for the valuation class in OBYC.

Why the cost element is not getting defaulted? Pl advice in this regard.

Thanks & regards,

Gov

Closing the question. Still no answer.

Check out the Network profile & Plant of of both the project

Case 1 X100 May be getting defaulted from network profile

Case2 X 200 You might be using different network profile where you would have not maintained CE.
