Hi,

GL account of expenditure can be entered for regular transactions and to be assigned the respective cost center to derive the manangement accounting reporting.

Ex.: Do post the salary gl (Accounting entry for external reporting) and assign the Admin Cost center, with which you gets the management reporting.

And I guess, you are not looking to create several gl accounts (Salary) connected to several cost centers.

This is for your information.

Hi,

Define business area in cost centre master data then your structure will by business area cost centre. You should setup business area as a mandatory field in cost centre master data, so that you avoid situation where business area are missing in CC.

Dear,

We have defined separate nodes for GL business area wise . No business area has been maintain in GL master data. We want end users to post the entries in FB50 for these GLs according to their cost centers. How can this be achieved in standard.

You can write a substitution --> Like if you enter 100000 GL Account in FB50, then Cost center 1000 should come and sit without enterning manually. This way you can do for GL --> Cost center combination. In tihs case there are no chances to enter wrong cost center by mistake.

(Or)

You can write a validaton --> Like if you enter 100000 GL Account in FB50, Then system should accept Cost center 1000. If you enter Cost center 1100, It will throw an error.

Thinks about the above options and go ahead.. Your purpose solved..

Thanks

Dear:

The best thing you can do here is to define set of GL in GS01 for every business area instead of writing GLs individually in GGB0 . You can create set of GL for GLs belonging to Admin, Selling e.t.c and then assign this in GGB0 by checking against KOSTL's GSBER . This will efficiently meet your requirement.
