3322449 - Account assignment errors when using detailed level

Symptom

Even though you've maintained Account Assignment for detailed level ("Detail per business area/valuation area" or "Detail per profit center") in Configuration Activity / SSCUI "Manage Default Account Assignments", you still receive error like:

  • Default Cost center is not getting derived for the cost element "X".
  • Error KI235 or KI248 "Account & requires an assignment to a CO object" when posting Invoices.

Environment

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Cause

For some transaction keys, the system does not determine the automatic account assignment at the detailed level (with key fields for the valuation level, the profit center, or the business area). Instead, it does this at the higher level (without taking these key fields into account). This affects transaction keys for automatically generated lines that reference the entire document and not individual items.


Note: if you are using Detail per Profit Center, then the Profit Center in question should be mentioned in the Document creation. 

Resolution

The automatic account assignment determination must be defined in the highest level in Configuration Activity / SSCUI "Manage Default Account Assignments".

In a document, it is possible to post to several plants (valuation levels), to several materials (profit center) or business areas. As a result, a unique assignment of automatically generated lines without reference to an item for a valuation level, for a material (profit center), or for a business area can generally not be found. Therefore, the system must always take the automatic account assignment for transaction keys such as these at a higher level.
