Change Functional Area of a cost center

Hi,
Initially I booked an entry in cost center A, which has functional area (FA), say FA1.
After that, I would like to change the FA in cost center A through KS02.  But failed, with error message:
Transaction data exists; note long text.
Procedure
If a change to the functional area is absolutely necessary, this can be completed by following the instructions of SAPnet database note 115840.
OK fine.  This make sense that I need to reverse my posting.  After I made the reversal entry and checked the KSB1 is 0 for cost center A.
Then, I try to change FA again for cost center A, using KS02.
Issue: same error message.
Any idea? Help needed.
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
I just reproduced that on your test system.
Cancelling the postings to a value of 0,00 on a cost center is not enough to be able to change the functional area in a cost center.
You have to delete the transaction data from the cost center. You can use report ZKACOR21 to do that. Please see SAP note 175522 regarding that report.
Best regards,
Andreas

  • Function Area derive from cost center

    Hi, here is a question.
    The function area was input in the cost center master data. Cost center A ( Function area 1000), Cost center B (Function area 2000)
    Then creat a PO with Account Assignment Category(K), Item Category (B), input the cost center A in the PO.
    When I do MIRO, I change the cost center (A TO B), but the function is still 1000, not change to 2000. But if I delete the Function area in MIRO first, then change the cost center, the function area update to 2000.
    There is no default function area in GL account and cost element, also no substitution.
    Is it standard in SAP?  I want the Function area can be updated with the cost center. Any method?

    Here is what SAP help says about this.
    Functional area field for postings - ready for input?
    You can enter the functional area directly when entering G/L account postings, provided the "Functional area" field is shown in the field status group of the G/L account.
    SAP recommends that you do not show the "Functional area" field in the field status group of the G/L account, but rather that you have the system determine the functional area of the account assignment. This eliminates the risk of the user entering incorrect functional areas.
    You said you have functional area in cost center master data.  When you post documents, do you get func. area from the cost center automatically or not?

  • Changing business area on a cost center

    We mainly use HR, but we use some FI/CO for accounting.  (I am no expert in FI/CO whatsoever - so please excuse any incorrect terms).
    Our users have entered incorrect business area to a cost center.
    This business area is now registered on employees, and payroll/posting has been run up unitil October 2010.
    If I try to change business area from 01.11.2009 (realize it is probably not good to change earlier due to postings); I get the following error message: "Field change Business Area is not possible (transaction data already exists)"
    In addition, the message says: If you still want to change the object, select a suitable change interval by choosing "Edit -> Analysis period...".  However, trying to change the analysis period I am told I have to choose year end.
    My questions are:
    1. Is there a way I can change business area from 01.11.2009 ?
    2. Is there a way to change area earlier - and if so, what are the impacts+
    I appreciate any help

    Hi Kirsten,
    Normally, it's not possible to change business area during a fiscal year once there is already postings in this Fiscal Year.
    The reason is to make sure that there is no change within the fiscal year since you then would have different postings - cost center belonging to different business areas within the same fiscal year. Meaning that it is possible to change the business area for the next fiscal year like described in the long text of the error message KS134. The reason is that it is to avoid inconsistency update of the table (COSS, COEP, or COSP).
    Although, If the following requirements are met, than it is is possible to change the business area during a fiscal year with the
    help of the note 62716:
    1.  The change interval is set to period limits
    2.  There is no dependent actual transaction data in the change interval
        or afterwards.
    3.  There must already be an analysis period for the respective cost
        center which starts on the first day of the chosen period. If this
        is not the case, you can create one with 'Change cost center'
    If the requirements are met, you can run the report RKACOR06 in SE38
    safely. I recommend you to execute the report first with Test Run on
    your test system.

  • Cost Center validity period change & Business area assignment to cost cente

    We are facing with error KS134 - Transaction data already exists for the period.
    We tried to create new cost center with period split. But I am getting error KS133 - Deletion is not possible (dependent records exist in table ).
    Hence even creation of the new cost center is not possible. We alrady have Validity Period from 1.04.2005 to 31.12.9999.
    Is there any alternative solution ?
    Sumeet

    Hi Sumeet,
    The fields in Cost Center Master Data are "Time-Dependent" and you can see the Time-Dependency of each field in OKEG transaction code where you can find "Business Area" to be "Fiscal-Year" based.
    So, if at all you need to change the Business Area, it would be possible in next financial year only...
    And also, because, your Cost Center is defined from 01.04.2005 to 31.12.999, there is no way that you can change the validity period so as to create / extend in the same period-lap.
    I hope you got it...

  • Funtional area assinged to cost center.

    Dear Sap Friends,
    Please explain to me what is the reason FI functional area assinged to the cost center? and what is transaction code.
    Warm Regards
    Paul

    The profit and loss account of an organizatioin can be prepared in two ways
    1. Periodic accounting
    2. Cost of Sales accounting
    In cost of sales accounting, the expenditure incurred in order to get a revenue, is treated as  cost of sales. For example manufacturing expenses.
    In SAP, since expenditures are booked to cost centers, it makes sense to assign functional area ato a cost center.
    You can configure functional areas in SPRO, financial accounting>financial accounting global settings>company code>cost of sales accounting>functional area-->define functional area
    The functional area is assigned to a cost center in the transaction code KS01, at the time of creating a cost center or in KS02, if the cost center is alreay created and no functional area is assigned or the functional area is to be changed.
    Hope this helps

  • Update Functional Area on Secondary Cost Element

    Hi gurus,
    I'm trying to update Functional Area on Secondary Cost Element. I've created a LSMW to make it but when I run the bacthinput the system give me a message in order to inform me that this changes might need a lot of time because there are several internal changes to do.
    The problem is that no functional area is updating, and I'm trying with just an item and the system needs a lot of time to update just one Funcional Area, more than a hour!
    So, I don't know if some of you already had the same problem or is a problem with performance of system, because in Develop System I didn't have any issue to update this information.
    Is there any form to update this information than LSMS or Individual transaction?

    Hi Jorge
    I was trying to change it manually in KA02 and there are tasks the systems does before confirming.
    This is the root cause.
    "Field changes to field Functional Area lead to
    complicated tests of the data involved, which
    may take some time. Do you really want to change
    the field online? "
    There is an option to change it in background.

  • Functional Areas (FA) in Profit Center Accounting (PCA)

    Dear all,
    We use Functional Areas (FA) to separate fixed costs in Profit Center Accounting (PCA). Originally, in FI, fixed costs are posted with Cost Center which is linked to FA. Now we find out that some cost centers missed their link to FA and hence not all fixed costs transferred to FA in PCA. We fixed the missed links, but the main question now is, how can we transfer information about FA for already existing documents? Is there any way to update profit center documents and totals? Or erase and transfer them once again?
    Thanks in advance for the answers.

    Please see the following SAP note. I corrected my ledger with help of Following Note
    1- 106180 (Correcting functional areas in the PCA Ledger)
    2-677630 (Correcting functional areas in FI documents)

  • 0315 infotype error when we are updating the cost center

    Hi Experts
    for one employee when i am going to change the cost center in 0315 infotype it is giving the error like
    cost center does not exist in CSKS . but i checke in CSKS table it is availble in CSKS
    but i noticed one point in this t-code for last costcenter , controlling area is not availble.
    is this the cause for error.
    Plz advise.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    If you are checking the cost center by querying on CSKS table, The cost center should be of length 10.
    You need to append Zeros to the cost center in the front to make the length as 10 and pass it to CSKS table.
    Use the FM CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT to input zeros in the front.
    Thanks,

  • Business area field in Cost center

    Dear Guru's
    We created a Cost center  for a validity period of  01.01.2006 to 31.12.9999 with a business area of ABC.
    Transactions and line items are existed in the cost center
    Now we decided to change the business area of the cost center from the ABC TO XYZ. I went to KS02 here the filed is editable mode when i enter the new business area for cost center it gives a message in the following manner.
    Field change Business Area is not possible (transaction data already exists)
    Message no. KS134
    please could you help me how to change the field.
    Thanks and Regards

    Dear Laxmi,
    There are records that have been created and hence the system is not allowing you to change the data. Change the analysis period and then system would allow you.
    KS02 -> Enter the Controlling area -> Enter the cost centre -> go to menu "EDIT- Analysis period" -> click on the button "Other Analysis Period" and change the validity.

    Naveen.

  • Change the Accounting document fields cost center and profit center

    Dear Experts,
    User has posted document with wrong profit center
    For that we subjected that he can go to the profit center actual posting T.Code 9ke0 but with that he can only change the Profit center document with that there is no accounting side updating
    I have tried with Document Change Rules, Line Item for fields cost center and profit center  in that while configuring I did not get any error message,
    But in the document I am unable to changing the same fields cost center and profit center  
    Can any body please guide me to resolve the issue?
    Essentially I want to change the Accounting document fields cost center and profit center   
    Thanks in Advance,
    Wiswanath

    Hello,
    Once the documents are posted in FI module, the system doesn't allow anybody to change the cost objects (cost center, profit center, internal order). The only fields you can change through FB02 transaction are the Line item text (BSEG-SGTXT) and the assignment (BSEG-ZUONR).
    If you want to get a change to the cost object to be reflected from FI to CO, you should reverse the FI documents with wrong cost objects and post new documents with correct cost center, profit center.
    Hope it helps you.
    Cheers,
    Daniel.

  • Why profit center is created at controlling area leve and cost center is not

    Hi All,
    I want to know why we create profit center at controlling area level i.e., a profit center can be used by multiple company codes under that controlling area. While cost center is at company code level as in one cost center can only be used in one company code.
    Please explain the logic behind this design in SAP and in real business scenarios.
    Regards,
    Satan

    Hi,
    Cost centres (and other CO objects, e.g. internal order, WBS, etc.) are part of Cost Accounting component of SAP Controlling domain (CO). Profit centres are part of Enterprise Controlling (EC) domain, namely of EC-PCA. So, these two objects are not even belonging to the same domain and have, therefore, different perspective of business functionality. SAP has created reporting objects on different level of control: business areas on client level, cost centres - on company code level, profit centres - on controlling area level, etc. All this is a part of system design in functional prism of system's evolution.
    Of course, technically speaking, one could have created profit centres on company code level or vice versa, cost centres on controlling area level, but it would have provoked similar questions.

  • Change the address of the cost center

    Hi Gurus,
      I am trying to change the address of the cost Center master in that i need to change the Jurdiction code also . now it id showing display mode only. can any one suggest me regarding on this issue.

    Hello,
    You have posted transactions to this cost centre.
    I suppose you arr not using Vertex or another external tax system as any changes by the US government will automatically change the details of the cost centre.
    In KS02, menu oath edit-->analysis period.  Change the date from to the date that you want the changed jurisdiction code to begin from.  Make your changes and save.
    Further, test the changes in a sandpit or test system first, as a cost centre jurisdiction should not really change unless US boundaries change.

  • Change a node on a Cost Center Group

    Dear experts,
    Is there any way to change a node on a cost center group (KSH1) ? i also would like to change the description!
    Any tips?
    Thank you in advance..
    leandro.

    Click on the node and Click on the Wand Buttion  (Select:Shortcut F9)
    and there you can delete and change the place of the group. Dont think you can change text. For that you may have to create the node again.
