Cost behaviour policies

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 1,419

Hi, 

I'm trying to define cost behavior policies in USP2 (Contoso environment). When I click on "Policy assignment for cost control unit" to link the cost behavior policy to the cost control units of the cost accounting ledger but I get this error message:

If I check the cost control units in the ledger, the cost centers are there:

    Hi CapsLock,

    Have you checked your cost element and cost object hierarchy setups?

    Here is an example that might help:

    Hi Ludwig,

    Thanks for answering this quick. I have read your blog and it was of great help, thanks for writing it. What do I have to check on the hierarchy setup?

    These are the two hierarchies on the cost behaviour policy:

    And these are the cost elements I'm trying to establish rules for:

    I go check the hierarchies, those values chosen above are included:

    Hi,

    Can you try assigning a default cost object hierarchy in your second screenshot from top?

    Is the main account hierarchy correctly assigned?

    I think there might be a mix up here.

    Probably setup something new with very clear names / prefixes especially if you work in one of the standard contoso environments. 

    Best regards,

    Ludwig
