Hi,

Please Check the Cost Element Category of the GL Used 361000, it should not be "11".

Hope it helps!

Hi Varshal,

Hi,

Please go to transaction KA03.

Mention 361000. Go to Basic Data tab. Please note down the CElme. Category. And report back.

Also in the drop down you can see that CE category=11 (Revenue) would mandate WBS Element to be a Billing Element.

Thank you and Regards,

Hi,

We had some issue in down payments process that use WBS elements that are not defined as billing elements. I worked with our FI consultant & defined default cost element against our controlling area, for downpayments in OKEP to resole it.

please try it .

Hi,

Have you defined the concern WBS as billing element? If not then select under basic data tab of WBS.

And check again.

For posting Down payment request with reference to a PO the WBS need not be a billing element. Follow what Varshal has mentioned. There seems to be an issue with the way your GL account is set up.

I would suggest you to get in touch with your FI guys and ask them to check this.
