KO88 - Internal Order (Complete allocation structure A1)

[Former Member]

Hi Gurus,

I have been searching to resolve my problem but none of it can really help me.

When I run KO88 to do full settlement, I hit this error below:

===========================================================================================================

Complete allocation structure A1

Message no. KD503

Diagnosis

During settlement, the system puts the sender debits into groups (assignments), which are settled using the same settlement cost element. The settlement assignment is made in the allocation structure, which is stored in the settlement rule for the sender (under settlement parameters).
Cost element 981550 cannot be assigned to a settlement cost assignment in allocation structure A1, and therefore it cannot be assigned to a settlement cost element.

Procedure

Possible solutions are as follows:

• If the posting under cost element 981550 was made to the sender because of an incorrect entry, and you can reverse the posting, and do not need to update the allocation structure. You only need to reverse the incorrectly assigned posting before repeating the settlement. Exception: For an investment measure with a line item settlement, you need to extend the allocation structure, even after the reversal.

• If the posting was made correctly, you can do the following:

a) You can assign a different allocation structure to the sender: In the master data maintenance for the sender, choose "Settlement rule -> Goto -> Settlement parameters" and then enter a different allocation structure.

• If necessary, also check whether the correct allocation structure is entered in the settlement profile. The allocation structure is defaulted in the settlement profile when you create sender master data or when you maintain the settlement rule.
• You can update allocation structure A1

===========================================================================================================

What I have done so far are:

1. Create Allocation Structure

2. Cost Element Group ( T Code: KAH1) as follows

Appreciate your help and thanks a lot in advance

Hi Kenzo

The way you made COST ELEMENT group is wrong

You have added 981550 as a Sub Cost Element Group.. You should add it as a cost element

Once inside KAH2, click on "Cost Element" button.. It seems you clicked on "Same Level" or "Low Level"

Hi Kenjo

To add to comments above, also please check cost element category of the settlement cost element (981550). It should be 21 or 22, as per the settlement receiver. In your case, it should be 22 for FXA

Hope this is helpful

Thanks all for your reply. Indeed it helps. My mistake to choose lower level rather than cost element.

Hi Mustafa,

The cost element category now is set as 1 instead of 21 and 22 for cost element 981550, but now we manage to do full settlement after being advised as per above. So do I still have to change to 21 or 22 instead of 1? And could you please elaborate why it should be so? Sorry to ask this kind of question since I am still beginner.

Thanks,

Hi Kenjo

My Mistake... I got confused between 981550 and 981500 (Settlement Cost Element).

Your master data is correct for 981550 (CE Cat 1) and hopefully for 981500, its 22, on which my initial comments were.

Apologies for the confusion.

Regards

Hi Kenzo

Nice to know that it is resolved.. Let me explain this in simple words

981550 - This is a GL where you incur expense and post this to the Int Order - Keep it Catg 1

981500 - If this is a GL Account in FI and you are using this for Settlement - Keep it 22.. This is meant for external settlement i.e. settling from CO to FI

Catg 21 - should be used for Secondary cost element, for settlement with in CO i.e. From CO - To CO (Int Order to Cost center, for example)

Hope this is clear now

Hi..

You check why you assign the settlement cost element “981550”  to source Cost element group
“INVESTORD”.
