RE: Correction of Error Posting without CO Object

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I am trying to correct a posting which was carried out with an account for which, at the time, there existed no cost element. Therefore, no CO object was required. Afterwards, this account was created as a Primary Cost Element, therefore, now when i try to carry out the inverse posting, it demands a CO object which i do not want to give it as it would cause an imbalance.

Does anybody know a way of disabling the CO object assignment temporarily so that the posting cannot be reversed and the corrected?

Thanks,

Stephen

Hi,

Once Cost element is created it is not possible to post an accounting entry without cost object assigned to it.

There is a round about solution to your problem, that is create a dummy cost center and assign that dummy cost center in cost element master in tab default account assignment tab.

Thanks VR,

However this was also the conclusion that we had come to. We were wondering was there any other way?

Try changing the Field status group (the CO object-optional) of the GL account.

There is no other way. You could only perhaps create a new GL account and replace it with any automatic assignments that may have been configured. Usually this happens in the test enviroment when someone testing, unknowingly creates a cost element, while it was not intended.
