Error message: Item : Cost element has an invalid cost element category

[former_member523116]

Hi Experts,

When I m confirming ECP with values in the cost model, I m getting the following error. Suggest me. I have checked the config. settings and it looks fine.

Item XXXX: Cost element XXXX has an invalid cost element category

Message no. KK694

Diagnosis

Cost element XXXX of item no. XXXX is not a primary or a secondary cost element.

Procedure

If costing item no. XXXX has the item category V, please enter a valid cost element.

If costing item no. XXXX has the item category B, E or M, change the origin of the item, that is, base planning object, cost center or material number, because the cost element cannot be maintained manually.

Thanks in advance,

Krishna

hi,

i think you are using secondary costelement with category 21 for ECP. you should use primary cost elements for ECP.

Hi NAG/Praveen,

Thanks a lot for your replies. I m not configuring the system right now. We are in upgradation of PS from 4.6 c to 6.0.

I have never seen this issue in 4.6c.

In ECC I m getting this error.

The same cost element category 11 is there in 4.6c and ECC 6.0 in the cost element in KA02.

Any idea.

Thanks,

Krishna

Check cost element category of the cost element in KA02. It should be 01.
