Summary :
When creating a cost element for a balance sheet account in SAP, error KS036 is triggered, indicating the account is specifically a balance sheet account. Cost element category 90 is designed for use in specific scenarios: asset-related postings directly assigned to fixed assets or construction in progress (as of SAP Release 3.0G), and displaying material make-to-order stocks for sales orders or projects (from SAP Release 4.0). Previously, due to a system error, category 90 could incorrectly be assigned to any balance sheet account. The resolution involves restricting category 90 usage to the mentioned scenarios, and disabling checks in CO interface and during cost element creation (KI098 and KS036) via Transaction OBA5 for cases deviating from standard use prior to Release 3.0F.
