    The SAP error message FSC1035 indicates that there is no cost element assigned to the General Ledger (G/L) account specified in the error message. This typically occurs when you are trying to post a transaction that requires a cost center or internal order assignment, but the G/L account does not have a corresponding cost element defined in the Controlling (CO) module.

    Cause:

    1. Missing Cost Element: The G/L account you are trying to use does not have a cost element associated with it in the Controlling module.
    2. Incorrect Account Assignment: The transaction you are trying to post requires a cost center or internal order, but the G/L account is not set up to allow for such assignments.
    3. Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the system that prevent the proper linkage between G/L accounts and cost elements.

    Solution:

    1. Create a Cost Element:

      • Go to the SAP transaction code KA01 (Create Primary Cost Element) or KA06 (Create Secondary Cost Element) depending on your needs.
      • Enter the G/L account number and create a corresponding cost element.
      • Ensure that the cost element is correctly configured to allow for the necessary account assignments.

      • If the transaction does not require a cost assignment, verify that you are using the correct G/L account.
    4. Consult with SAP Configuration Team:

      • If you are unsure about the configuration or need assistance, consult with your SAP configuration team or a functional consultant who specializes in Controlling (CO).

    Related Information:

    • Transaction Codes:
      • FS00: G/L Account Master Data
