In SAP S/4HANA, the master data of G/L accounts and cost elements are merged. Cost elements get special G/L accounts and are maintained in transaction FS00 (Edit G/L Account Centrally).

Before you migrate G/L Accounts and Cost Elements you have to check whether the G/L accounts and cost elements are consistent. An inconsistency could be, for example, that no G/L account exists for a primary cost element. You need to correct the indicated inconsistencies before the migration, otherwise the G/L account master records may have the wrong account types after migration.

After you have checked and corrected all inconsistencies and errors, you can migrate your G/L accounts and cost elements. The migration merges the cost elements into the G/L account master data.

As there is no default account assignment in G/L account master you have to migrate the account assignments of cost elements in cost element master to default account assignments maintained via transaction OKB9.

The migration of Cost Elements consists of the following activities in the transaction Start and Monitor Migration:

  • GCC Check Consistency of G/L Accounts and Cost Elements
  • GCM G/L Account and Cost Element Merge
  • DAA Default Assignment for Cost Elements

Required Authorizations

The merge of cost elements and G/L accounts requires adjustments to authorizations for creating cost elements. If you want to maintain accounts of the account type Primary Costs or Revenue, you need to have authorization to create or change cost element master data.

If you want to maintain accounts of the account type Secondary Costs, you need to have authorization to create or change G/L accounts (Authorization object CO-CCA: Cost Element Master (K_CSKB)).

The migration merges master data of G/L accounts and cost elements. Cost elements get special G/L accounts. In detail the migration of G/L accounts and cost elements provides the following:

  • The new database field Type of a General Ledger Account (GLACCOUNT_TYPE) in G/L account master with the following values:
  • X: Balance Sheet Account

  • N: Non-operating Expense or Income

  • P: Primary Costs or Revenue

  • S: Secondary Costs

For all former secondary cost elements G/L account master data is created in tables SKA1, SKB1 and SKAT. For compatibility reasons primary/secondary cost element still update old tables for cost elements (CSK*) tables.

Default assignments in the former cost element master (CSKB) are transferred to the default account assignments. Default cost assignments are maintained in Maintain Default Cost Assignments.

To start the migration of G/L accounts and cost elements, choose Start and Monitor Migration.
