Cost Object in FI document with WBS Settlement

[Former Member]

Hi,

I'm testing WBS settlement to G/L account which is cost element. I made some substitution rules because I met an error message saying that "Cost Object is needed"

As a result I can settle WBS to cost elements such as COGS etc. I got a FI document, CO document and PCA document. Everything looked so nice.

Suddenly I noticed, however, that there is no such a thing like cost object on FI document. When I look up the FI document using FB03, I found that the PS-POSID was empty. Of course, CO documents have Cost Object.

What I wonder is as follows

1. Is this standard? Is it natural that FI document with CO doc has no cost object on it?

2. If I need to use FI document to determine WBS element, what is the best to way? Is it possible to enter Cost Object such as wbs element in FI document during settlement?

Thank you for your kind advice in advance.

Kang,

In the message which you got, the word 'Cost Object' refered to a cost center, or order, or any other cost object.

However, there is another account assignment object with the name 'Cost Object', which was not filled in the FI document. That is normal.

Right now I don't have much information in the a/c assignment object 'Cost Object'.

Vishal,

Thank you for your comment. As you mentioned I meant wbs element, cost center with the word, "Cost Object".
