Hi!
Dear Fi-C0 Guru's
I have an one dought when we creation of chart of account (tc-ob13), I have selected controlling area integration-Manual creation of cost element
there are 2 option 1.manual creation of cost element
2.Automatic creation cost element
with out selecting automatic creation of cost element also ,I have created cost element automatically ,if so what is the use of automatic creation of cost element option.
can u please explain about these 2 options
thank in advance
Prasad,
Here is my simple answer.
At the time of creating COA, you have specified that Manual creation of cost elemants right?
if you select this, then the system will not create a cost elemant at the time of GL creation.
So whenever you want to create cost elemants for each GL, you will have to create it manually by going into each GL and clicking on Edit cost elemant and need to enter the cost elemant cateogry for that and save them.
To avoid this manual creation, SAP provides a batch input processing method for this.
In Tcode OKB2 you have to give GL range along with cost elemant category, Again in Tcode OKB3 you have to execute the program, it will create a batch input session with all the cost elemants those to be created. And then execute the batch input session with Tcode SM35. It does not mean that you are creating the cost elemants automatically by creating GL accounts.
This is a standard way for doing manual creation of cost elemants with a batch input processing.
And if you select option Automatic creation of cost elemants at COA config, no need to create a range in OKB2, and generate session in OKB3 and execute session with SM35.
Hope you have understood what i am trying to say.
Thanks,
Srinu

hi guru,
u have give range 400100 to 400199 cost element category -1 in OKB2.
if u create gl like 400125 it will create cost element automatically,because u have given range.
so u dont want to create gl a/c as a cost element automatically remove range in OKB2.

When you want to post in CO you need a cost element. In the most cases there is a 1:1 releation between P&L accounts and primary cost elements.
For that reason it is easy when the system create automatically for you.
There are some reason that you don't want this.
You have to say in the set up the cost element type you use.(most cases 01).
When you say 80000 - 89999 is 01 and you need 11 for some CO-PA cost elements in the range then a cost element type 01 is already created.
Solution
80000-84999 01
85000-85999 11
86000-89999 01
In some cases you have a P&L accounts you don't want to have in CO (some year end accounts)
When you have unique ranges use it. When there are some exeptions create them manual

thank for best replay
i want to clarify one thing
In the chart of account i have give Controlling area integarion in chart of accounts - "Manual creation of cost element"
In tc code OKB2 default setting for automatic creation cost element I have given the range
400100 to 400199 cost element category -1
my dought hear is I have given in the chart of "Manually creation of cost element"
when iam going to create any GL about that range (400100-400199) it is going to create cost element automatically(eventhough I have mention chart of account" manually creation of cost element") why?
