Dear All,
While configuring CO PA, we are facing a couple of problems:
1. Some cost elements are already in existence with cost elem category "1". while doing a billing doc transfer simulation, we are getting an error message: "Prof.segment for prim.cost elements not advisable for costing-based CO-PA". as the cost element is already assigned to a cost centre, the error seems understandable. Moreover, the category cannot be changed in the current financial year as postings have already happened. does anyone have any ideas on how to assign the costs to a Profitability segment without getting into the hassles of allocation / assessments from OM. anyway planning to change the cost elem category to 12 from the next FY.
2. Some conditions in SD point to balance sheet accounts. Now I want to pick show these values separately. How do I do this? would i have to create cost elements for these accounts (does not seem reasonable) or would i have to replicate the SD condition type in COPA condition type and use secondary Cost elems.
An example is Sales Tax which forms a part of receivables and a corresponding tax liability is generated (thru a separate condition type).
Dr Customer 100 (BL a/c) Cr Sales 90 (P/L a/c) Cr Sales Tax Liability a/c 10 (BL a/c)
any help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks
