G/L account is not defined in chart of accounts

[Former Member]

Hello Experts,

Can someone solve my problem. I have created an expense account in my Chart of Account (FSP0) and the same COA is assigned to my Co.Cd in OBY6. When I tried to post to this G/L account ( FB60 - Vendor Invoice posting ), I got the following error.

***************************************************************************

G/L account is not defined in chart of accounts INT

Message no. F5507

Diagnosis

The general master data of the G/L account is not maintained in the chart of accounts

INT.

System Response

Error.

Procedure

Please correct your entry or create the master record.

***************************************************************************

I am not sure if I am missing anything. Is there anyway to extend the G/L account that is created in COA to company code level apart from assigning the COA to company code in OBY6.

Any help will be duly rewarded and appreciated.

Regards,

Sriram

but in fs00 you extend GL account by using ref. gl

Each general ledger master record must be exists in two parts:

1.Chart of Accounts Level

2.Company Code Level

Above is SAP standard.

- Chart of Accounts Level : Any information which any company code wishing to use from the GL account.

- Company Code Level : A company code intending to use this GL account from COA has to create the company code view and then it can be posted to the GL account

Hi you need to do:

1st. you need to create the account at COA Level in T.Code FSP1 or FSP0 as you did.

2nd. you need to create the account at company code level using T.Code FSS0

You can also do both steps in one at T.Code FS00

I hope this helps you

Hello All,

Thanks for reply. I was doing this posting to find out why do we need G/L accounts at COA level. Can someone brief me why do we need G/L accounts at COA level.

How the G/L accounts at COA level can be used...any real time uses?

Will reward once this thing gets clarified.

Hi,

A single chart of accounts can be used by multiple company codes.

If I have 20 company codes using the same chart of accounts in the system for which i need to create GL accounts. Instead of creating the GL accounts for 20 company codes individually at COA level and Company code level, I can create at company code level only. The COA level will remain similar/constant for all the company codes.

Hope Im clear

Thanks

Aravind,

If you create G/L accounts at Co.Cd level, then you have to create 20 times for 20 Co.Codes, right ?

Instead, if you create once in COA and assign the same COA to all Co.Codes you are reducing the effort required. Is this the only reason we create the G/L accounts at COA level?

What are the other uses of creating G/L accounts at COA level?

I will definitely reward once the things are clear.

You can create account centraly, in CoA level and in company code level. To be able to create it in company code level, account must be created in CoA level upfront. Then you extend only control datam create/bank/interest on level of comapny code, and type/description remains the same as in CoA.

So, if field status valiant for i.e. should be different from company code to another, you can create it differently, but account MUST be created in CoA level on first place.

When you create account centraly, then it is available for all company codes that are assigned to that CoA.

Procedure should go like this: create account centraly, and then change data for each company if needed for each c.code.

Hi

GL account created at COA will be useful when you have multiple company codes. where you are using single chart of accounts for all .

Data which is created at COA level will be created only once.

you need to create only once the COA data.

you need to create company code data for each comapny code.

Hi,

You need to create the GL account at company code level also(use FS00 to do at both levels)
