GL 7201016 seems to be the Material Gain/ Loss account. In OBYC T-code (Transaction - GBB, Gen Modi- INV) you define the GL which is to be posted for Gain or loss due to Inventory posting.

When creating GL (FS00) the you also create cost element and assign it to the GL. Also the field status group define whether the CO is optional or mandatory. When mandatory, for any FI posting to the GL must have a specific Cost Center mentioned with it.

When you do MI07, there is an automatic creation of FI document in the back-ground and since it is created in the background you do not have the option of puting the cost center manually. So you have the following option.

1. Using OKB9 for different Valuation area (CoCode or Plant) assign different cost center for the GL 7201016. (Seems to be the rights solution for you.)

But you can de-actiavte the CO for the GL by

2. change in the field status group of the GL.

or

3. Deleting the Cost element 7201016.

Take the opinion of FI / CO consultant/User for selecting your option.

Hi,

Account 7201016 should not be an expense account. Check the balances in GL Account 7201016, if it is nil then delete it in KA02.

And if balances exists then go to OKB9 and maintain Cost Center for this GL Account 7201016

Hi,

First the field status of the account in t.code:FS00 for ur G/L 7201016. If this account requires CO object as mandatory then check whether a cost element is created or not , this error occurs when CO object is mandatory but relevant cost element is not created.

CO object can be - cost center, cost element, WBS element

Check in OKB9 and assign G/L 7201016 to cost object( ie...ex.. Cost center) and save.

Now try ur tranaction.

You have to assign the Cost center for this GL acct in the OKB9 settings.

There are no entries in OKB9.

Hi,

In OKB9, you have to maintain entry with GL A/c and Cost Center against which you want to post the entry.
