Hi SAP Gurus, can anybody help with an issue in cost element?

I am working on OKB9 assignment and one of the cost elements say:

*Cost element 221200 in CO area 1002 does not exist for 28.01.2008

Message no. KI217*

I have already created in KAH1 but this error persists.

Any help is welcome.

Regards

Roger

KAH1 is transaction to create cost element group. For creating cost element you have to use KA01 or KA06 depending on whether it is primary or secondary cost element.

So go ahead and create cost elemtn for GL 221200 to controlling area 1002 and you will be ok.

Thanks,

Vishal.

Hi,

Is this account(221200) is P&L Account or Balance sheet account?

If it is a Balance Sheet account,it is not possible to create as a Cost Element.

If it is P&L account,verify GL account Validity and cost element Validity?

To create Primary cost element use KA01 t.code and To create Secondary cost element use KA06 T.code.

If this helps,please assign points.

Thanks,
