1. Objective and Scope
1.1. Objective of this Operation
A secondary cost element represents postings that occur between controlling objects within CO and from CO to COPA. A secondary cost element is essentially an account that exists only in the CO module, not in FI. When costs are moved (e.g., from one cost center to another using an assessment, or from a cost center to a production order), no postings are made in FI.
The seconday secondary cost element element category is 21, 42 or 43
The codification of a secondary cost element depends on the system:
- In
- PF2 =
- 98xxxxxxxx
- In
- WP2 = 99xxxxxx
The creation of new secondary cost elements should be done in very limited cases. Usually it is done in the frame of a project when a new process is set-up and requires the creation of a new cost element.

Certain secondary cost elements are designated for Lump Sum invoicing, each with a specific coding structure. The codification depends on the system and it is related to a specific range:
The best way to check the last secondary cost element created is to go to Tcode KA03 >> search in tab "N: Cost element" by 99422* or 99432* in WP2 (or 92* in PF2).
Check the last number between the specific range. Requests related to this should be initiated by the Intercompany Team. For more information about this process, please refer to the following link: |

As a best practice, in WP2 each secondary cost element should be replicated in the 5 controlling areas (Z006, Z013, Z025, Z026 and Z028). |
| Warning |
|---|
Once the new cost element is created it must be included in all core cost elements groups (XCS-ALL, ZRCS-FC & ZSOLV). In WP2, the new secondary cost elements only need to be included in ONE controlling area (the other controlling areas will be automatically updated). |
3.2. I check the set of accounts where the cost element should be included
Most of the secondary cost elements are created as reference from another already existing in the system.
Therefore, we should check the sets of accounts where the secondary cost element used as reference, is included.
Go to tcode GS03 and then select "Utilities" >>> "Find values in sets"
Select variant "DATA TEAM" and insert the secondary cost element.
After execute.
You should compare the output report of the reference secondary cot element with the one that we have created.
In WP2 :
In PF2 :
3.3. I communicate that a new secondary cost element has been created
I notify the requester.
