SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: G5 - IS-Oil /Joint Venture/ Material transfer pricing

• Message number: 185

• Message text: There is no cost object linked to the input line id &. See ? for detail.

In form &V3&, the input line &V1&, which summary line id is &V2&, does
not have a cost object linked to it.
An input line should always have a cost object linked to it. There is
three ways for an input line to have a cost object:
User enters a cost object (cost center, project, or, internal order)
into the input line (of the form template) directly.
User has entered a cost object into the summary line and the input line
will inherit the cost object from its parent (this summary line).
User has checked the cost object flag of a summary line and expects the
system to generate all relevant and valid cost objects for the input
lines under this summary line.
How to solve this problem
Go to Accounting -> Financial Accounting -> Joint Venture
Environment -> Configuration -> Configuration Menu
Non-Operated -> Menu Input form -> <DS:TRAN.GJ53>Billing form
line</>
Check the input line &V1& to see if this is the place you would want to
have the cost object entered.
If not, check the parent of this input line (the summary line &V2& ) to
see if this is the place you would want to have the cost object
entered.
Keep going up the level until you find the line that is supposed to
have the cost object entered, but was not entered.
