Physical Inventory - Cross Company Clearing error

[Former Member]

I am getting an error message relating to a cross company code clearing setting when I try to do a physical inventory posting.

The system is asking for accounts to be defined so that I can post from Co Code A to Co Code B. The physical inventory is being carried out at a plant in Co Code B and there should be no cross company element at all. There are several other plants set up in different company codes and the account determination works OK. It is only for this new plant that this occurs. I have checked the material masters, automatic account determination, entries in OBYA for cross company clearing as well as all the “obvious” organisation structure config. I suspect that it is some setting that has been copied as a reference when creating the new company code or plant, but I can’t seem to locate this.

Has anyone ever seen an error like this previously? Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Hi,

Check to see if the GL being used has been given a default cost centre.

Cost centres are linked to comapny codes and it COULD be that the one defaulting in the GL that is being used, is the wrong cost centre.

I can't thinkn of any other way that a simple stock count correction would try to act like a cross company posting.

So find out the GL that it is using and check the default cost centre allocated to it in BO.

thanks Stephen,

it was the default cost centre that was the culprit. Much appreciated.

Dear Donal,

Go to transaction OKB9 (Default Account Assignment) -> see what is the default cost center assigned to the GL Account that you are trying to use.

Go to transacton KA01 (Cost Element Master Data) -> see what is the default cost center assigned to the GL Account that you are trying to use.

Regards,

Naveen.
