• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message KT123 - Only maintain "account from" (not "account to") for sec. cost element ?

  The SAP error message KT123, which states "Only maintain 'account from' (not 'account to') for sec. cost element," typically occurs when you are trying to maintain a secondary cost element in the system. This error indicates that the configuration for secondary cost elements does not allow for the specification of an "account to" in the context you are working in.
  
  Cause:
  
  Secondary Cost Element Configuration: In SAP, secondary cost elements are used for internal cost allocation and do not have a corresponding G/L account in the same way that primary cost elements do. Therefore, when you are trying to maintain a secondary cost element, the system expects you to only specify the "account from" and not an "account to."
  Incorrect Data Entry: You may have inadvertently entered data in the "account to" field when creating or modifying a secondary cost element.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the Cost Element Configuration:
  
  Go to the transaction code KA01 (Create Cost Element)
