Cost center digit lenght

hi
Where can I find the how many digits can be assigned to a cost center. I mean maximum leght in digit. Where can I check the configuration.
thanks,

It is 10 digits. You can look in table CSKS to see the dictionary definitions as well as the table contents of your master data.
pls assign points if helpful as a way to say thanks.
Ferry is absolutely correct. I must have been answering at the same time as Ferry so sorry for the duplicate.

  • Cost center digit change

    Dear Experts,
    If we would like to do mass change for our cost center
    from 4 digits to 5 digits, what is the affect ?
    and what is trans code/data/process to be checked then?
    Kindly advice.
    Thank you.

    Hi Puri,
    You do one thing
    Set the Validity period for the cost center
    Path:
    SPRO->Controlling->Cost Center Accounting->Master Data->Cost Centers->Define Standard Hierarchy.
    There you select the cost center and click the Validity period button and close the further postings.
    Whenever you want you can open the date and post.
    Hope its clear.

  • Cost center / Element report downloadable to excel

    Hi
    does anybody know of a cost center/elements total report by period?
    s_alr_87013613 has the information but can not get both values (cost center and elements) in columns that it is usable for excel.
    I looked deeply and could not find anything.
    I searched also the forums and could not find a valid awnser.
    My only workaround is run KSB1 and create a PIVOT which does not really make sense
    also there might be many line items.
    Anybody else has an idea?
    I can not believe it is not available. It seems like such a basic report.
    Thanks so much for your support
    Cheers
    Tim

    Nikolas,
    thanks for the help.
    I decided to make a query on COSP (not COEP due to runtime).
    Cost object i splitt with local fields and field[[first digit:last digit]] function if there is another person looking for the same.
    Cheers

  • Cost Center authorization - issue

    Hi All,
                The Cost Center and Areas (0CO_OM_CCA_USER_1) datasource load is getting failed with error message as ''Error occurred in the data selection ".
    The data selection is Hierarchy name and it is blank; so no issues with that.
    When I run the datasource extractor checker in ECC, It ends with a ABAP dump. The Dump displays "Missing Cost Center", this extractor runs by a FM.
    I am not sure where the issue persist? I feel the issue with the data.
    This daily full load was success till last month, but due to some unknown reasons the load is getting failed everyday. When I check the records in ODS, I could see a record with User as "D_E_L_E_T_E" and the Cost center, Co area and other fields are blank.  I am not sure, whether it is meaningful data or not?
    If it a meaningful data, what does it mean?
    Can anyone let me know, how to dig down and confirm its an issue with the Data?
    Thanks
    Regards
    San

    Okay, I misread the "NE". Sorry.
    Have you done a syntax check on it?
    Also compare to:
    AUTHORITY-CHECK <object>
    ID 'KOSTL' '*'.
    I cannot confess to ever have done a "full" AUTHORITY-CHECK myself, but it is most likely the same as with DUMMY ->  you should not use the FIELD statement as '' value if the data element does not know what a '' is...
    Cheers,

  • Error while creating Cost center

    Hi,
    After creating Cost center in KS01 when i try to save it,
    it is showing error that "The Persona Responsible say example BORISA01 not Valid".
    How to correct it?
    Thanks
    Swetha

    Hi Swetha,
    In standard setup, this field is set as required but usually this is not setup with a validation. There is not even an F4 option to search for available users.
    However in order to find where this issue is arising please reference the 5 Digit Error code that appears.
    Debugging via "/h" in the transaction field may be required to see what validation has been setup if custum code has been entered.
    This field is not connected to a database table for lookup it is simply an character field where you can enter any value.
    You could also check the 5 digit error code. If this is a custom error you may be able to change it to a warning rather than an error message via the Custum Message Handler. This should then allow you to bypass the validation if one is setup and you should be able to enter any value.
    Kind Regards,
    Brendan

  • BW Analysis authorization issue on cost center range

    Hello BIW security experts
    I have a problem where I created an analysis authorization on a cost center range and it looks like the interval is not working. The report is just a list of cost centers (demo to users to prove that analysis authorizations work in order to skip 2 managerial cost centers.
    . Cost centers are numeric. Example:  2000100. In the drop down list they appear as such.
    . I want to have the following cost center range: 1000000 to 1000771, 1000773 to 2000771, 2000773 to 9999999.
    Thereofore 1000772  and 2000772 should not appear in the list.
    . In the analysis authorization I have put the 3 ranges above on 3 separate lines. 'BT' is the operator. The cost centers have been selected from the drop down list.
    Results:  I get only 1 record from the report....  2000772. (which is one I want to exclude..
    Steps tried to debug:
    . When I put a list of cost centers in the analysis authorization on separate line with the 'EQ' operator, then the report works.
    . I tried putting ' ' delimiters since cost center is a char field but it fails.
    . I tried adding leading and trailing zeros to fill up the char(10) but no luck.
    . I tried creating a hierarchy with the interval and put it in the hierachy auth. tab and it does not work either. It gives the same number of records than the first step.
    . A hierarchy with single values work.
    I do not know what else to try..
    Thanks.

  • HR PNP Logical Database Using Cost Center selection: error!?

    Hi all,
    I'm using PNP logical data base and using the selection-fields available through HR Class Reports (a copy of PAY_DEF) but what happens is if in selection-screen I fill the personnel number say 1000, i get the payroll data I'm trying to get, but if i use the search field cost center of that exact person i get nothing. Does anyone has a clue on what i might be doing wrong? Because all the other search fields work, company code, HR area, everyone, but cost center, and I'm positive that i use the right cost center.
    Thanks in advance,
    Paula

    Even though nobody answered me, i finally found the solution for my problem. so and because someone might need it here it is:
    Go to Spro->Personnel Management->Human Resources Information System->Reporting->Adjusting the Standard Selection Screen and then:
    1st Create Report Categories and
    2nd Assign Report Categories
    Since not all rep. categories on the 1st assignment is explicit on how will sel screen appear i advice you to go to the 2nd point, and execute some of the programs that appear there, and that might look alike to what you are looking for, and if you are so lucky as to find one exact use the same report category in your program, if its very alike, well, copy the Report Category into one of your own and change it the way you need it to be.
    Hope this be helpfull for someone.

  • BI-IP Authorizations: Accessing own Cost Center only

    Hi,
    We are currently implementing BI-IP in our company. We have created the ready-input templates and we are prepared for roll-out.
    There is still one concern though which I haven't resolved. I am currently looking for an AUTHORIZATION that will let users access their respective COST CENTERS only. For example, if I am part of the Marketing Group, then I will only be able to access the budget of my respective cost center.
    Can anyone lead me to the right AUTHORIZATION OBJECT in BI-IP to implement this restriction.
    Your reply is much appreciated. Thanks.
    Regards,
    Ramon

    Hi Ramon,
    authorizations for transaction data in BI (and therefore in BI-IP) are not based on authorization objects. You have to make the cost center InfoObject authorization relevant and then create so called Analysis Authorizations for it. Please see the online help:
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/66/019441b8972e7be10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm
    BTW, you can upload the cost center authorizations from SAP R/3 or ERP.

  • Add Option of choosing values from list in "Person Responsible" field of Cost Center Master

    Dear All,
    Could anyone advise me how can I add the option to Choose Values from list to field "Person Responsible",
    in Cost Center Master Data ?
    The Technical Name of this field is VERAK, and currently it is an open field.
    I would like to allow the user to choose values from existing list.
    Thank you!
    Orly

    Hi Orly,
    You have take it to your ABAPer, who will have to modify the attributes of CSKSZ-VERAK field in CSKSZ structure. ABAPer will have to define it with foreign key and introduce the name of the table, which will be used for deriving the available values. No standard table exists for it, but you can either create your own Z-table or take it from users table (USR02) if you have the necessary information there. Of course, this action would account for modification of standard SAP structure.

  • Is there is a way to have a link from purchase order to cost center report.

    Is there is a way to have a link from purchase order to cost center report.
    I am meaning kind of:
    Standard way to customized this link?
    or
    User exit to have this link in place
    or
    Any other solution
    Thanks

    For me it does not make any sense from going from PO to cost center report.
    However, if you want to see the purchase order cost incurred with a cost center, execute KSB1 report. Within the layout, bring "Purchasing Document" field, where you can see the purchase order number in cost center line item report.

  • Assignment of Cost center to G/L account

    Hi,
    While Posting, I am getting the following error  " G/L account requires an assignment to a CO object"
    Where Do I assign the cost center to the G/L and why doesn't the system automatically pick the cost
    center?
    Regards,
    Ally

    First, if G/L account was created in FI, you can only create primary cost element in CO.
    Secondary cost element can only be created if no account exists in FI.
    Second, if you created the primary or secondary cost element in CO, you have to assign CO account assignment.
    You can delete cost element in CO (KO04) if dependent objects found.
    Third, when you create cost element in CO, documents would be also created in u2018Cost center accountingu2019 and u2018Profit center accountingu2019 when posing in FI. If no cost element exists in CO, no related documents would be created in CCA and PCA.
