Symptom
- During the asset accounting process in SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud, an error occurs when attempting to post a fixed asset retirement integrated with a customer using the standard "Asset Retirement with Customer (Integrated)" app.
- After selecting the relevant customer and fixed asset, and assigning a revenue G/L account for the transaction, the system throws error KI248 stating: "Account xxxxxxxx requires a true account assignment relevant to cost accounting."
- The error indicates that the profit center assignment is considered only statistical and therefore not sufficient for revenue postings to this G/L account, which is defined as a Primary Cost or Revenue account with Cost Element Category 11 (Revenue).
Environment
Transactions (Public Cloud)
Reproducing the Issue
Attempt to post a fixed asset retirement integrated with a customer using the standard "Asset Retirement with Customer (Integrated)" app. Encounter error KI248 during simulation or posting.
Cause
Wrong GL Account configuration.
Resolution
Check the configuration of the G/L account. It should be a non-operating expense or income account, not a primary cost or revenue account.
