Cost Element

390 Views

Hi,

I have 2 questions here regarding the cost element of a GL account.

1.

I have 2 company code, (1000 and 2000). Both company code have a same GL account (830000). When I create a cost element for this GL account, it will apply to both the company code. But both of the 2 company code has a different set of cost center. (company code 1000 has the cost center start with 1, while company code 2000 has the cost center start with 2).

But the cost element can only default with 1 cost center only.

So when I post to this GL account (automatic posting - user no need to enter the cost center field), one of the company code will always has error, as the cost center does not exist at that company code.

So currently, I have to manually edit the cost element each time the other company need to be posted.

And this is very tedious and time consuming. Is there any other way?

2.

If I accidentally created the cost element for the GL account, how to delete the cost element from this GL account? Is there any impact for the history transactions?

Kindly please advise. Thank you.
