Can we maintain duplicate entry in VKOA transaction?

[former_member540017]

Hello,

I have a requirement where I want the different GL account to be picked for billing document when created for a particular group of materials.

How can I do this?

V KOFI 0010 BP01 01 Z8 ERL "GLaccount1"

V KOFI 0010 BP01 01 Z8 ERL "GLaccount2"

I want the entries to be like this. Also, how the correct GL account will be picked when we create that.

Thanks,

Komal.

Without checking your system, it will be difficult to give any comments. Go to VA02, input that sale order and check for the document flow. If you are able to see the accounting document, then, you can ignore rest of the things. If not, try to release either via VF02 or VFX3 and share the screen shot if the system triggers any error message.

Thanks. But I am not able to see the accounting document. I am getting the below error message.

When I further checked this , I found that we need to maintain COST ELEMENT CATEGORY = "11 or 12" which is currently "01". But I am not able to change this cost element category as it has transaction in the system. So after re=searching on google I found that we need to maintain the different "Validity period".

But I am not aware what will the impact of all this in SAP.

Can you let me know what can be done and what will be the impact?

Type that long text in Google and execute so that you will find many times, this topic has been discussed in SCN. Take the inputs and try in your system accordingly. Of course, before making any changes, discuss with your COPA consultant, if you are not the right person to do so.

Set one common material group for those materials in master data and insert this field in VKOA to differentiate the FI posting.

Hello, Thanks.

So ,IF I create a new material group and assign those materials this new material group, will I be able to maintain entries in VKOA transaction with different GL accounts.

Because I have to 5 different materials with 5 different GL accounts.

Please suggest?

Thanks,

Komal.

Yes you can provided, you need to add that material group to VKOA combination.

Thanks, I tried this and looks to be working.

But when I go to billing document->accounting document it says that the "Accounting document is not yet created."

But if I lookup at billing document->enviornment->revenue recognition-> I can see that my new GL account is been picked.

But why it is not showing in Billing document->accounting document.

Thanks,

Komal.

Hello Komal - I don't think your question relates to contract accounting; it appears to relate to SD billing.
