Error during SettlG/L account 12702010 cannot be created as a cost element

[Former Member]

Dear Experts,

I am getting error while settlement of project."G/L account 12702010 cannot be created as a cost element"

The system gives following messege

" G/L account 12702010 cannot be created as a cost element

Message no. KQ119

Diagnosis

When maintaining the posting rules for passing on results analysis data to Financial Accounting, you entered a G/L account that is defined as a primary cost element in cost and revenue element accounting. This is not allowed. You must enter a G/L account in the posting rules that is not defined as a cost element.

System Response

The entry invalid.

Procedure

You have the following options:

Enter a G/L account for which no cost element is specified in Cost and Revenue Element Accounting.

You can change the message type with user-defined error management (transaction OPR4_KKA). What should be observed when you enter a G/L account in a posting rule that is defined as a primary cost element in Cost and Revenue Element Accounting? You need to define a CO account assignment so that the posting defined in the posting rule can be executed. You do this with transaction OKB9 (default account assignment) or OKC9 (substitution), or using the default account assignment in the cost element master."

Settlement Paramenter :- settlement to Profitability segment

processing type automatic.

please help resolve this problem.

Hi Prashant,

I think in OKG8, Posting rules for WIP calculations and RA, you have specified a G/L account which has a cost element.( for Both P&L and B/L account ). Please specify any G/L accounts which are not created as cost element for your conreolling area.

Warm regards,

hi,

when i try to change the G/l in

it gives following error

CO area MEL: results analysis version 0 will be settled -> F1

Message no. KQ131

Diagnosis

The Transfer to Financial Accounting indicator is turned on in results analysis version 0 in controlling area MEL. Posting rules can only be changed if this indicator is turned off.

Switching this indicator on and off can cause inconsistencies if associated posting rules have been created and you have already settled.

If you turn the indicator off, data that has already been posted to Financial Accounting from WIP calculation or results analysis is not reversed, and changes to this data are not updated to Financial Accounting.

Furthermore, if you turn off this indicator it becomes possible to make changes in the associated posting rules again. Because such changes can easily cause inconsistencies, it is strongly recommended that you do not make such changes if you have already settled.

Example of an incompatible change:

WIP is posted to a different account than before. The result is that when the WIP is canceled, the new account is credited instead of the original account.

If you turn the indicator on, the data calculated by WIP calculation or results analysis is transferred to Financial Accounting when you settle.

Because subsequent changes to the associated posting rules can result in inconsistencies, the system only allows you to change these posting rules if the indicator Transfer to Financial Accounting is turned off.

System Response

The system does not allow the posting rules to be changed.

Procedure

Do not turn on the indicator Transfer to Financial Accounting until you have completely maintained the posting rules. You should not change the posting rules later.

If it nevertheless becomes necessary to change the posting rules later, check whether the change in the posting rules is compatible with the posting of results analysis data that has already been settled.

Hi,

Please check the results analysis version (OKG2). There you can see the "Transfer to FI" indicator for making the modification. You will have to uncheck it to make the changes and then turn it on.
