PRPS-KOSTL in WBS Element

Former Member
0 Kudos

Hi to all -

Our customer desires to see all postings to the general ledger accounts broken down by cost center. For warranty projects, the settlement rule for WBS elements will be to a Warranty Accrual Account (liability account) and Warranty Expense Account (expense account). These postings need to be by cost center.

In the WBS element, the coster center field (PRPS-KOSTL) is only available if the WBS element is checked as a statistical WBS. I would like to use either Responsbile Cost Center, Requesting Cost Center or even a user field as an input field and then substitute this value to the PRPS-KOSTL. When this is tested, we get the following message:

"Field WBS_CCTR_POSTED_ACTUAL/CCtr posted actual: Changing the contents of the field is not permitted

Message no. CJ727

Diagnosis

Contents of field WBS_CCTR_POSTED_ACTUAL/CCtr posted actual are to be modified, either by substitution or batch input.

Because the system noted that a field was not ready for input no chnage was allowed.

System Response

Processing stopped.

Procedure

Check the field attributes or the action."

My question is if there is a way to use PRPS-KOSTL with out defining the WBS as a statistical WBS.

On the FICO siide, we are using report FAGLL03 to view the G/L accounts. On this report, KOSTL is available as a selection field to create the segmentation the customer desires.

A final issue we have not gotten to - is if we can get the Cost Center on the WBS and settle the WBS to the G/L accounts - will the Coster Center information come over to the CO tables for use in FAGLL03.

Thanks,

BGS

Hi,

It is possible to settle as required partly to GL and partly to Cost Center by configuring the allocation structure.

Regarding the error please refer SAP Notes 767465 & 430244

Tnx
