Hi,

Cost Elements are like GL Accounts in Controlling Module. They are broadly categorized as Primary Cost Elements and Secondary Cost Elements.

Primary Cost Element can be created only if a corresponding GL Account is created in Financial Accounting.

On the other hand secondary cost elements are used only in Controlling module. They are used in functions like allocations.

Thanks

Murali.
