Hello nagesh simhadri ,

I have the answer for your problem, i think that you already solved it but the answer will be useful for the others, because i had the same problem and i found your post...

In fact, there is a customizing parameter to set:

SPRO -> PROJET SYSTEM -> Costs -> Actual costs and Forecast -> Update down payments -> Define default cost elements for down payments

or simply you can use the transaction code OKEP.

I hope that this will help someone...

Hi nagesh,

We are also encountering the same error. As per your reply it looks that the settings are required where project system is implemented.

In our scenario we are not using project systems.

But maintenance of an entry in the OKEP is not giving any error, but not sure whether it should be maintained where there is no PS implemented or not.

Use Se91 to display the long text of the error message. Or better still, ask your system/basis support person to show you the long text in the dump itself. Hopefully it will show you the GL account number there.

Then you just use KA01 to create a revenue element.

You can also log an OSS message with SAP, because it should not short dump like this, it should just give you an error message.
