We had a similar situation where during a GR/IR transaction the system asked us to provide a cost center for G/L Account 530000 - GAIN/LOSS PRICE VARIANCES, even though account 530000 normally does not require a cost center assignment.

We are using average costing and figured out that account 530000 was being accessed by the GR/IR transaction, because the item being received had a negative Quantity on Hand. Because in the past these items had been over-expensed so to speak, the system corrected for this by taking some of the inventory revaluation to expense. Had the quantity not been negative, an entry to 530000 would not have been necessary.

Because we were talking about penny differences only, we decided to use Tcode FSS0 to maintain G/L Account 530000 and temporarily assign a Cost Center in the Default Account Assignment tab. After this we were able to complete the goods receipt on the PO. Immediately afterwards we removed the Cost Center assignment again.

Hope this helps

Hi all

Business scenario is STO cross-company code.

When doing the goods receipt, a error happens saying that account (GR IR account) needs assignment for cost object.

I have checked that GRIR account do not need cost object or cost element.

So how to solve this problem.

Thank you so much.
