Help Document

Diagnosis

No cost element can be created for G/L account , that is, for the gain or loss account for write-offs. In posting area 0123 Write-Off: Alternative Expense and Revenue Accounts, alternative expense and revenue accounts are defined for the actual expense and revenue account from posting area 0120 Write-Off: Automatic G/L Account Determination for which no cost element can be created in Customizing.

In event 5030, the CO account assignment data is added. This can be done with different methods. If the CO account assignment data should be transferred from the document to be written off into the write-off document, G/L account items, which do not contain any CO account assignment data, can also be created for the write-off document. In this case, the alternative account must be used from posting area 0123 Write-Off: Alternative Expense and Revenue Account.
