Msg. error BK048 for manual cost allocation

[Former Member]

Hi,

we got a warning message for manual cost allocation (KB15N), when posting this allocation just with a quantity and without an amount. We would like to post this allocation without amount and therefore need to change the message type from warning (W) to information (I), to do this posting.

When using transaction OBA5, there is just a fixed and not adjustable value for Standard with "W". Do you know any workarounds or how we can change this message type to do this posting?

Regards

Hi Florian,

Firt of all you could still make a posting if the message type is warning because the warning disappears as soon as you press enter and this would not stop you from posting. Still if you want to make it information, goto T Code OBMSG.

In the application area select BK and double click on Messages in your left hand side frame. In the next screen, if this message already appears in the listed messages , just change the standard to I . If this message number is not listed you can put in a new entry.

This is a cross client setting.

Thanks & Regards

Oh i am sorry, it wasn´t a warning message but an error.

I changed the standard message type for BK048 from W to I, but if i want to post a manual cost allocation, there still comes an error message, that i have to enter an amount and i am not able to post anything.

So it seems like nothing changed? any other ideas how i can get through this?

Hi Florian,

HAve you assigned users in OBA5?.

Go to OBMSG, for this particular Message number in the allowed message types, specify IWE etc. In the standard column specify I. Also you could check on check box "Switch Off" if you want to have the option of not seeing the message at all.

Now goto OBA5, against the message number, in the "Online" column , specify I or - (Switch Off) and do the same in the BAtchl column also.

Now you need too specify a user only if you want this change for specific users , if you want all the users to be able to post manual cost allocation then do not specify any user name.

Do tell me if it works.

Hi Susan,

i tried your solution, but it doesn´t work at all. It´s still the same error message that there has to be entered an amount.

Perhaps there is a validation for the amount itself, so that there must be a value, which is defined somewhere in the customizing. May it be possible to set this value for 0 as well? Or what would you think, could be the reason?
