Dear Mr. Graneiro,
if You get the error message FI660, during the DPR posting please refer to the following general
information on how this functionality works in SAP R/3 standard:
Default cost elements for down payments have to be maintained in OKEP
due to techical reasons. First of all, please note that it is possible
to create purchase orders with CO account assigments without
necessarily updating open items in CO. Commitment mangement can be
switched off (even temporary) in the CO area or not be activated for
special CO objects like orders.
On the other hand, the cost element used for posting down payments
related to purchase orders is taken from the open item record in CO.
Hence, if open item update is not active in CO, the system has to
determine the necessary cost element from the default settings in
transaction OKEP.
Nevertheless, you might ask why the system does not give notice that
open item update is not active, so that the user can manually enter a
cost element. The answer is given in SAP note 52004: For reasons of
performance, the cost element from the line item for commitments of the
purchase order item is not looked up until the update. Because error
messages are not allowed at this point of the program, the down payment
has to be updated under the default cost element in order to avoid
problems. Therefore default cost elements should to be maintained in
transaction OKEP.
The only problem is, the program is checking OKEP even before
it checks to see whether there is a cost element available with
this down payment request.
But OKEP configuration is absolutely necessary if you do not have
a cost element assigned at the time of downpayment request creation.
I hope this can help You.
