Background documentationEnable the Creation of Primary Cost Elements for Accounts

 

The functionality is enabled by adding the list for primary cost elements in the account user interface. Additionally, it is required to set up change request types correctly. An optional step supports the derivation of cost element categories.

    3. Change the visibility of the list from Hidden and Excluded from Event Loop to Visible.

    4. Save your entries.

  2. Adjust the change request types for account maintenance

    The step is mandatory if you have already implemented MDG-F with release 7.0 before you start using the feature pack (or a higher release). If this is the case, the existing change request types for accounts have to be enhanced with the entity type for the cost element.The predefined change request types for the feature pack (or a higher release) are already setup correctly.

    4. Select the table line of the change request type.

    5. Under Start of the navigation path Dialog Structure Next navigation step Type of Change Requests End of the navigation path, double-click on the entry Entity Types. The system displays the entity types ACCCCDET and ACCOUNT.

  3. Adjust Customizing for cost element categories

    This step is required only if you want to use the automated derivation of cost element categories.

    1. Start transaction OKB2.

    2. In the window Determine Work Area: Entry, enter the chart of accounts that you want to configure.

    3. The system shows a table for the configuration of the Automatic Generation of Cost Elements: Default Setting. Define the cost element categories to be used for single account IDs or account ID ranges.

    4. Save your entries.
