Cost Element Category 12 & its Impact

[priyadarshan_behera]

Hi Experts,

What is the importance if I use one sale deduction GL like Discount under CECat 1 instead of 12?

Typically when we will use CECat 12 ?

Hi Priyadarshan Behera,

Yes, you are right, correct setting is CE category 12.

If you set it to 01. You won't get costing-based COPA posting from SD module. But, If posting is from FI module to COPA then no issue.

Hi KK Lam,

You mean to say if I use Account Base COPA there won't be any impact on CECat12. Even for Sales Deduction GL's I can still use CECat 1 ??

Hi Priyadarshan Behera,

Yes

1. Account Based

• Cost element category = 11, 12 or 01, no issue. System will post to account based copa for posting from SD, FI / MM

2. Costing Based:

• Cost element category = 11 or 12. System will post to costing based COPA if the posting is from SD billing, FI / MM.
• Cost element category = 01, SD billing will NOT post to costing based COPA. But posting from FI / MM will post to costing based COPA

Thanks

Hi,

If you're using CO-PA, it's important to use cost element categories 11 & 12.

If your're not using CO-PA, you can assign cost element category 01.
