Costs posted through FB01 to General Cost Element in TECO Status

[Former Member]

A general cost element whose system status was changed to TECO on 10/16/2009 has had costs posted from our Travel System in PR1 and also tested posting from FB01 to the same general cost element in a test client sucessfully. Costs were posted on 12/5/2009 (PR1) and 12/10/2009 (test system). This seems inconsistent with the logic that PS typically follows, that TECO does not allow cost postings. The environment is ECC6 with Enhancement pack 4.

Thank you for the information. I failed to notice until later the day I posted this that the activity was not finally confirmed. That would have prevented the entry. I appreciate the feedback.

Only system status CLSD (Closed) and account assignment locked don't allow actual post against WBS

Here's the explanation on TECO status from SAP Help

You use this status for WBS elements that are completed from a technical point of view, but where you still expect costs to accrue.

Correct - TECO does not allow further commitments, but allows the processing of exisitng commitments till the project is set to CLSD
