Cost Elements and KE24

This document discusses cost elements, cost objects, and profitability segments. It explains that cost elements require a cost object, and that when profitability segment is activated in the system configuration, any cost element or GL account that has its profitability segment updated will appear on the KE24 profitability segment report, even if populated by derivation rules rather than direct sales or credit memos. Specifically, cost element 220080 is appearing on the KE24 report because profitability segment is active, though it should not be, since it is being populated by derivation and not direct sales or credits.

What is cost element, and why we need a cost element? We need a
cost element so we can assign a cost object. When we define any
GL account as cost element then system ask for a cost object.
My Cost Object can be internal order, Cost center or COPA values
( aka = profitability Segment)
Profitability Segment means COPA
COPA means Profitability Segment
User question Why cost element 220080 is populating in KE24
report?
220080 is a cost element, and because of the OKB9 configuration
Profitability Segment is active,
And configuration did not assign Cost Center. By activating
that, system is looking for COPA values.
Copa values are filled by some derivations rules in the system.
Since those values are being filed by the system, the cost
element will show up on KE24 report as it is a standard COPA
report, also known as profitability segment report. KE24 TO
SHOW PROFATABILITY

They call it Sales and Credit memos report, as they expect the
report to get updated via Sales and Credit memos.

Any Cost Element and or GL account, when the profitability


segment gets updated, whether it is derived from sales, derived
from material management, or even derived GL, the line items it
will show up on the KE24 report.
As is Cost Element 220080 is recording correctly, but it should
not be populating on the KE24 report

By activating the Profitability Segment,


,, that is why is it showing on KE24 report.

Since it is a Cost element, it requires a Cost Object.
