Error "Account XX requires an assignment to a CO object" in F-02/FB01 tcode

[former_member658126]

Hi Gurus,

I have seen many threads related to my query, but none of them worked for me.

Getting error like "Account XXXX requires an assignment to a CO object while posting using document from F-02" with cost center. The strange thing is the same account with same cost center able to create document in development (without default account assignment in OKB9 tcode) but not in Quality or Prod.

I am an ABAPer and this queries was asked to us from FI consultant, Dont know what to explain to resolve this issue as we cant debug the standard code(time consuming process) to find the root cause for the issue. Please to help me on this.

Thanks,

Chittu

Hello,

The error message KI248 is usually linked to OKB9 assignment.. there are other variables like maybe for the one where it works, the company code is different OR the configuration in Dev and that in Quality and Production is different(Some transport request release is missed).. In any case with the Message ID KI and Message number 248.. debugging this shouldn't be too difficult coz here in the Forum we can only suggest solutions.. but based on your Client Configuration, you'll need to figure out the exact root cause..

All the Best!

Regards,
Vijay

Hi 819037

I would think this is a question more appropriate for your finance colleague. Nevertheless, few reasons I could think of, but not restricted to are as below:

1. when the accounting journal is being posted, than an automatic line item is being created(such as tax or FX difference posting for example). In such a case, there is a posting to a cost element for which OKB9 assignment is missing

2. The cost center being used is out of validity

3. You have a substitution rule, which is clearing out the cost center

4. The cost center being entered is incorrect

There could be other reasons as well like custom code or overriding of cost object information.

Thanks & Regards

Thanks for the reply, issue is solved now. Business has changed the Cost Element Category in KA02 for GL caused the issue.

Ask the user to Assign cost centre /WBS element or internal order for the GL line items.

Hi,

Cost center is entered and earlier without WBS element of Internal order Document was created without any issues.
