Cost element in KOFI - account determination

[Former Member]

Hi to all,

is it allowed to use a cost element in revenue account determination for KOFI condition type?

Tcode is VKOA.

From my point of view the rule is as follows: KOFI should be used for objects without CO-posting, but a cost element requires a CO-object -> therefore, to KOFI condition type should be assigned only accounts, which are not cost element.

Am I right?

Thanks

Your theory is not correct that KOFI should only assigned to non cost element accounts, In my system we have revenue accounts and misc.stock a/c assigned to this condition KOFI and these accounts are created as cost element with cost element category 11,12 & 1.

When we do MIGO for a material the misc stock account gets posted with cost center assigned.You might have to revisit your business scenario.

Based on test cases I have found out following:

- If you assign a cost element with category 1 to KOFI a cost object is required (profitability segment is not sufficient). A cost object has to be defined e.g. in OKB9-default account assignment (because the origin sales order is not a cost object).

- if you assign a cost element with category 11 to KOFI, profitability segment is sufficient and no further cost object has to be assigned.

- if you assign an account which is not created as cost element, no cost object is required.

What do you think about the mentioned statements?

I partly agree with you. If the CCE category is 1, still you can post it to Profitability segment, which could be Sales order, Profit center......

We have a PPV account which a P/L Account and assigned in OKB9 with PF Segment. Currently, it is posting to Profit center.....

Hope you understand.

The accounts that created with CCE category 1 like we have misc stock a/c ,it needs to have assignment of cost object which is in our case is cost center and system pulls it out of the OKB9 assignments but as Narasim mentioned it could still post to profit center/S.O as well.

Dear P. co,

Normally, KOFI condition will be used for all Revenue, Discount, Price differences, Freight.......etc.

If you think for minute, Revenue should go to Revenue cost element which will e 11 or 12

Discounts, Price differences should go to P/L accounts which will be posted to Cost center / IO and CCE is 1

Like this, based on the business transaction, the Cost elements or non-cost elements will be decided.

Hope this helps
