cost element with category 12 and 22 to COPA

[Former Member]

Hi,

We are creating one production order without reference to material using t code CO07.

The requirement is to book the material and labor cost against the operation to cost of sales.

Created the settlement rule receiver as Cost of sales GL (with cost element 12) and settlement cost element (with category 22).

when the production order is settled its creating the FI posting but its not generating the COPA document.

We are in ECC 6 and costing based copa, can any one please help.

Thanks,

Hi,

I think...........the issue with using Settlement cost element (with category 22) in your config

Check F1 for the cost element category type.........below is the info..

• 22: External Settlement
  
• Used to
• settle
• order costs, project costs, or cost object costs to objects outside of CO. These objects could be assets (Asset Management), materials (Materials Management), or general ledger accounts (Financial Accounting). The R/3 System creates an accounting document when the costs are settled.
• Cost elements of this category cannot be used for settlement within CO (cost centers, orders, projects, and so on). Use secondary cost element category 21 for this purpose. The system does not create an accounting document when costs are settled within CO.

Hence COPA document is not getting created when you are settling the order...........try to change the cost element category to correct one......

Hello Su,

Can you please check in T-cd: OKO7 to see if you have defined a PA transfer str. for the relevant settlement profile or not?

Hi Srinu.

Could you explain why should be created as category 01 ?

Hi,

Category 12 will be use for Sales deductions (reductions, adjustments, corrections) are adjustment or deduction postings of revenues, such as discounts and rebates.

Cost of Sales account will comes under category 01 it's not an category 12.

Thanks & Regards
