Account assignment issue during MIGO

[Former Member]

Hello,

I am trying to do MIGO and I am getting the below error. I had assigned the cost elements in OKB9 with a default Cost Center. Still, I am getting this error. I am not sure why this is happening. I was looking some other threads and they are recommending to assign a default cost center in KA02. I feel this should not be done as the same cost element will be used by multiple Company Codes. We have activated the Purchase account for our company codes. I was testing an STO PO, I never faced an issue during MIGO. Is there anything that I am missing? Please suggest.

Account 60311080 requires an assignment to a CO object

Is the posting date within the cost center validity? Pl. check the valid from and to on the cost center in KS03. Also, check if there are any locks in the Control tab of the cost center.

There is no issue with Cost Center validity date, Profit Center is assigned to the material. I am receiving raw materials into my Plant. I don't think I need to use a Cost Center in PO. Is there anything that I need to do check? Please suggest.

Thank You.

If you are receiving Raw material, why and how are you hitting a cost element on goods receipt. Normally the entry for GR against PO will be Inventory A/c Dr and GR/IR A/c Cr.

If system is choosing a cost element to post, then you must have mentioned this account in PO. Is this an account assigned PO? If so, it should have a cost center or some cost object assignment, generally speaking.

Alternatively you should derive cost center based on profit center using OKB9 and not a direct cost element to cost center assignment there (Account assignment detail 3). Don't want to confuse you with too much information.

Pl tell us how you are making system pick this account up with details on PO, that may guide us to an answer.

Hello All,

I was able to solve this issue. There was a problem with the Business area assignment with Plant and Valuation area. We are using the Purchase account for our C.Codes. That is the reason we have in and out expense accounts during GR and IR.

Thank You all for your help........

Hi,

Please tell us what is this Gl - 60311080

Since it is STO the Journal enrty must be

Stock A/c - Dr (Receiving location)

Stock A/c - Cr (Sending location)

Price difference - Dr/Cr

(due to any difference between the standard costs between the two locations)

Only the Price difference account is cost element here.

More over Price Difference account is not created as Cost Element.

In the PO, check whether the cost center is assigned. Check the account assignment.
