SAP Note Header Data Symptom When you create a cost element for a balance sheet account, the system generates error message KS036 "G/L account & is a balance sheet account". Other Terms KA01, Kostenartentyp_90, cost element type 90 Reason and Prerequisites The use of cost element category 90 is only provided in the standard system in the following two cases: 1. As of Release 3.0G, asset acquisitions and down payments which are assigned directly to a fixed asset or asset under construction can be assigned to an account on internal orders or WBS elements statistically. In this manner, for example, an availability check can be triggered on the order or the WBS element for asset posting. 2. As of Release 4.0, cost elements of category 90 can also be created for material stock accounts to display material make-to-order stocks on sales orders or customer projects. In Releases earlier than 3.0F, cost elements of category 90 could be created for any balance sheet account due to a program error. When you use cost elements which do not correspond to standard cases 1) or 2), errors can occur. Solution Only use cost elements of category 90 for cases 1 and 2 provided in the standard system. However, if you have already created cost elements of category 90 for balance sheet accounts in a Release earlier than 3.0F for a case that does not correspond to one of those provided in the standard system, you can (on your own responsibility) both deactivate the account assignment check in the CO interface (message KI098) and when you create cost elements (message KS036). Both checks are deactivated by maintaining Transaction OBA5. Deactivate message KI098. Message KS036 cannot be deactivated directly with Transaction OBA5 - rather, it is deactivated indirectly when you deactivate message KI098.
