service PR against maintenance order

[Former Member]

Hi dear,

I have a problem

1. I have created service purchase requisition against maintenance order, and against that service PO created.

2. Now i have to give payment to that vendor against that PO (Before Goods receipt)

3. While doing F-47 (down payment) system shows error, "maintain default cost element in controlling area XXXX"

Hi,

You have to maintain the default "Settlement Receiver(Cost Element)" in the maintenance order(Settlement Rule) for the Non-stock item.

Thanks for your valuable response.

But can you please tell me how to maintain Settlement Receiver(Cost Element) in the maintenance

order(Settlement Rule) for the Non-stock item in details,

As our CO and FI people are also new, they don't know about this.

Hi,

Take PM consultant help & ask him to check these settings

SPRO Path

Plant Maintenance & Customer Service --> Maintenance & Service Processing --> Basic Settings --> General Order Settlement --> Maintain Allocation Structure.

Note: Check Assignments of Settlement Cost Elements.
