Hi,

When I selected "manual creation of cost elements" in OB13, Then we can create a group of cost elements in OKB2 followed by OKB3 and SM35.

Even I need to do same thing I when I select " automatic creation of cost elements" ??

I tried selecting " automatic creation of cost elements". and I checked in KA03 whether it had created any cost element automatically. but it didnt created any thing...

Please suggest..

You need to specify the cost element category for your P&L accounts in OKB2.

Eli and Murali,

I thing I am not clear with question. So i am framing my questiom in different way with example

Scenerio 1 : first I have selected "manual creation of cost elements" in OB13,

Then I created a group of cost elements. So i followed this steps.

In OBH2 I have given some Gl accounts and also the cost element category.

Then I created batch input session in OBH3 and executed sucessfully in SM35.

Cost elements are created for group GL accounts and very thing is fine...

Scenerio 2: If I had selected "Automatic creation of cost elements" in OB13

Even for this scenerio I need to do the same process which I done for above scenerio. If so what is the difference if i give "manual creation of cost elements" or "Automatic creation of cost elements" in OB13. I can simply give what ever i want to give it doesnt make any difference...

I think you don't need to run OKB3 and and SM35 if you select automatic creation for your COA.

But you should maintain OKB2.

Dear Santosh Dharana,

Good Question. i can clarify you. this question

1. when you select in ob13 create cost elements manually

when your are using in obk2 we have to maintain here Acc from no. to Acc to no. ranges for Gl's and cost element categeory.

after we can run batch in put in obk3 & SM 35 it's updated successfully.

Note: After execute, *when you are try create another GL account with cost element we have to give cost element categeory by manually.

2.when you select in ob13 create cost elementsAutomatically

when your are using in obk2 we have to maintain here Acc from no. to Acc to no. ranges for Gl's and cost element categeory.

after we can run batch in put in obk3 & SM 35 it's updated successfully.

Note: After execute, when you are try create another GL account with cost element we don't have to give any cost element categeory here system automatically give .

Please try it. i worked for this one

Thanks & Regards

Hi,

These are two different things. The definition in OB13 tells whether cost element will be created automatically when a new G/L is created and it falls under a setting in OKB2. While, OKB3 is used for mass creation of CO elements complied with the settings in OKB2.

Eli
