EHP6 CO object Error

[Former Member]

Dear Experts,

During Sales order delivery system issuing error as "Account 43501100 requires an assignment to a CO object"   but already there is assignment of cost center to this G/L account in OKB9, this G.L is related to packing material . This error we are getting after EHP6 during user testing for production copy client.

But same scenario is tested in quality which is working fine. Also in production client also there is no error. Already cross check feild status groups also

Kindly suggest what is the reason

Hi Upendar,

Please check the followings:

OKB9 assignment:

If it is done by profit center and your entry exists in OKB9, then check profit center in material master data at Plant Level 2.

If it is done by valuation area and your entry exists in OKB9, then check Plant in delivery.

If it is done by business area then check BA in your delivery.

You can also try momentarily populating cost center as default in cost element to know if cost center assignment is working,

Best Regards!

Hi,

Many thanks for your reply

What ever the points you noted all are available already cross checked

For momentarily I have assigned cost center as default in cost element which is working fine but if I remove then it is not picking from OKB9 assignments.

Hi Upendar,

What king of assignment are you using in OKB9 for that cost element? By profit center, valuation area, or business area, or fixed?

As it's said for automatic CO derivation in OKB9 help:

"The derivation uses the most detailed assignment available, meaning:

a)  The SAP R/3 System searches first in the IMG assignment per
    company code, account, business area and/or valuation area. This
    is possible only if the business/valuation area is known for the
    posting row.

b)  If the system finds no assignment, it continues by using the
    account saved in the IMG step, by company code and account.

c)  Should this fail, the system uses the default value from the
    cost element master data record."

The last step is getting triggered, so now you can try assigning a fixed cost center for that cost element (step b and "1" in pic), indenpendently from profit center/val.area/BA. If that step gets trigger then the problem is on the first step ("2" in pic).

The picture shows an example for derivation from valuation area.

If the cost center set in "1" gets derivated and no cost center from "2" then it means no characteristic (profit center/BA/val.A) can be found at line item level (sales order in your case).

Best regards!
