Please check validity period for your cost element in transaction code KA02.

Hi,

Please check whether cost element has been created in Controlling Area 9000? Also check the validity Period whether it is up to 31.12.9999? I am sure, it must be the problem of validity period.

Hi,

Mr. Rau is right. You will have to define the Cost Element with Cost Element Category 41.

Hi,

when you are configuring cost sheet,you have to assign "Credit" to you overhead key.

in credit you assing cost center and secondat cost element(category "41").so whenever you execute overhead calculation,credit posting will post to cost center(which is assigned in Credit for cost sheet) and secondary cost element (which is assigned in credit for cost sheet).

go to KZS2 t.code and correct cost center and secondary cost element(category 41) in credit.

Hope this helps you.

Thanks,

Rau
