Unable to post to a GL account

[Former Member]

I am trying to post an invoice using transaction FB50. Agsinst a line item, I entered a GL account and all other details including company code. When I tried entering a cost centre against this line item, I got an error msg - An Entry Cost Centre is not Permitted for account 4567890.

The GL account is a P&L account which allow manual posting. I have been able to run this very transaction and posted against this GL & Cost Centre sucessfully.

Can someone please help me by telling me wht Iam getting this error msg.

Thanks in advance.

Hi

Go to <b>FS00</b> (Display G/L Account Centrally) and type your G/L Account "4567890" and Company code in there.

After that click <b>"Create/bank/interest"</b> tab (I believe it is the third tab, down to your G/L Account number).

Once you are in "Create/bank/interest" tab, the very first field you see will be "Field Status Group". Double click the field "G001 or G005 or whatever your "field status group" is...

Now you will see <b>"Display Field Status Group"</b> Screen, click on "Additional Account Assignments" and check whether your Cost Center field is marked as "Mandatory/suppressed/optional"....

Hope it clears your doubt.

Assign points if it is helpful to you in anyway.

check the following -

1. check the field status variant of the GL account, if cost center is a permitted field via FS00->field status

or

2. if cost element has been created for GL account in KA03 as category 1.

or

3. if the cost center allows primary cost postings if CE category is 1 in KS02.

Thank you both

Murali, where can I find/lookup "Check whether Cost Center field is optional / required / supressed", which master record and tab?

Abhilasha,

your option 3 , which tab can I find the Category you are referring in using t-code KS02

[former_member601419]

in Ks02 under the control tab

check to see if tab actual primary costs is checked. Check what are the tabs taht have a check mark.

Hi,

Check the validity period of the Cost Center in Transaction code KS03. If the validity period has ended, you can extend it.

Thanks

Thank you very much Murali.

I checked the cost centre record, the validity end date is set to 30/12/9999.

Hi,

Display GL Master Data using transaction code FS00. Enter the GL Account and display it. Go to the tab Create / bank / Interest tab. In this tab double click on Field Status Group. Check whether Cost Center field is optional / required / supressed.

Thanks

Thank for your help, This GL account was created as a Capital expense account, hence postings to this account were supposed to be posted to using an Order number which in this case is a store no.eg projects,Fixtures and fitting etc

Thank you for your input.
