All the cost elements need to be assigned to a ‘Cost Element Category,’ to determine the transactions for which you can use the cost elements.
Example:
- Category 01, known as the ‘general primary cost elements,’ is used in standard primary postings from FI or MM into CO.
- Category 22 is used to settle order/project costs, or cost object costs to objects outside of CO (such as assets, materials, GL accounts, etc.).
