Diff between cost element category 1 and 11

[Former Member]

What will be the major difference if we create cost element under category 1 and under category 11.

I am facing one issue:

Sales commission expenses account - needs to be triggered while releasing sales invoice.

System is behaving differently if we create cost element category as 1 and 11.

Hi,

Cost element category 1 is used for primary cost and 11 is used for revenue cost element.

Sales commission is which have directly related to sales invoice i.e deductions then use cost element category 12 .

If your using category 1 then it should assign to cost center or internal order, if using category 11 or 12 then it should assign to Profit center.
