Do not assign any objects in cost accounting to GL Account

Updated May 18, 2018

Hi,

I got an error message :Do not assign any objects in cost accounting to account 5170310. GL Account 5170310 is a WIP Project & balance sheet account.

It was noted that account assignments to objects in cost accounting (for example, cost center, order, or project) are updated in the document but not in cost accounting.

How could I overcome the problem? Please advice.

The WIP Project GL account need to key in the orders to monitor the sub expenses.

Hi,

by the process described here, you use customizing with OKGx (OKG1 to OKG8) the G/L account where you post the correction should not be follow by cost object but only in global so you don't have the detail of posting by cost object

if you want to follow in CO by cost object, you need to create in FI a substitution rule to fill in automatic the
cost object by the ZUONR field (from FI) which contain the cost object in process.
Be careful, do not create your account in customizing system as cost element, otherwise the system block when entering customizing in OKG8.

Hope it's helpful for you

HI,

If it is at the time of document posting, Then, don't assign any cost center for the given GL

OR,

You have not created the cost center and cost element for the GL

So, create the cost center and create the cost element for the GL 5170310.

If it is expense item the you create the cost element.

If it is revenue the do not create the cost element. Because, cost element are only created for expense related items. Cost element itself tells you the meaning 'cost - expense'.

You don,t assign cost objects to balance sheets accounts, which are assigned to only cost elements. Why would you want to turn wip balance sheet account to a cost element, though?
