“Account xxxxxx requires an assignment to a CO object”.
Diagnosis and Analysis:
The G/L account you are posting to is relevant to cost accounting, however you’ve not assigned or defined a CO account assignment.
If you’re posting manually to any accounts which are relevant to cost accounting (meaning cost element accounts) and overlooked to assign a cost object, the above error occur.
For automatic posting, such as depreciation of fixed assets, internal order settlement to a g/l account, and etc, the above error occur if the the system could not find any cost objects assigned to the cost elements used. The system will look into the IMG for configured cost objects default, if non to substitution rule if applicable, if non still to cost object maintained in the cost elements master data.
Solution:
1. If you’re posting manually, always assign the line item posting to a relevant cost objects (e.g. cost center, order, profit center).
2. For automatic posting transactions, you need to maintain in the system default cost object assignment of the cost element. Follow this simple procedure:
Transaction Code: OKB9
Path: IMG → Controlling → Cost Center Accounting → Actual Posting → Manual Actual Posting → Edit Automatic Account Assignment.
The “Chage View “Default account assignment: Overview” appears. Enter the company code, cost element, and default cost object. The cost object could be a cost center, internal order or profit center.

During automatic posting to the cost element, the system get the assigned cost object. The above error “account xxxxx requires an assginment to a cost object” would not occur.
