Former Member

Hi Expert,

Our client was using verion 4.7 and it is upgraded to version Ecc6.

Yesterday we have created New Gl account and replaced with the eisting GL account. Existing GL account was not a cost element still it was assigned in OKb9, New Gl account also not a cost element but we are unable to assign in OKB9 as it says it is not a cost element, not defined in controlling area on 04.08.2011. My doubt is even though GL account is not a cost element is it was possible to assign in OKB9 in version 4.7?

I need to undetstand howthe old.gl account was maintained in OKb9 even though it was not cost element and why we are unable to assign the new GL account as it says it is not a cost element.

Thanks in Advance

Hi

The point is if the GL is not cost element, you wont achieve anything out of assigning it in OKB9

If its not required as Cost element - remove this entry from OKB9

If required - Then create it

As Eli said, that could be the only reason!!

Hi,

It could happen if you create cost element in DEV and set your OKB9. Then, you transport it to Production. In this case, you will have a setting in OKB9 for this cost element, but if you didn't create a cost element in Production, this setting will be meaningless.

Hi Eli,

I think you are right. I have checked the OKB9 settings in DEV client and tried to edit, it is asking me TR it means it is moved from DEV and also I can see the cost element created for the old/existing GL account and maintained in OKB9 in DEV. As you said when it is moved to production they have not created the cost element.

Thank you so much.

Hi,

the old (existing) GL account (which is no cost element) cannot appear in OKB9 under regular circumstances.

In OKB9 default account assignments are maintained per company code / cost element.

So maybe the old account was created as a cost element once, the OKB9 entry entered and afterwards the cost element was deleted on the corresponding SAP tables in an "irregular" way.
