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 ?

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...

  • 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.

  • Business Area assignment to cost center

    First time we have assigned Business areas to Cost Centers on 31.03.2009 effective from 01.04.2009. But since some of the cost centers(28 nos out of 300) have Transaction data (error message KS134) we could not assign Business Areas.
    Hence we have decided to create New cost centers in place of these 28.
    And now we are testing this scenario in test server. Since we will have to replace the existing cost center assignments with Work center(PP/PM), Asset(FI/IM), Positions(HR), we have started with Asset transaction AS02.
    SAP is not allowing to change the existing Cost Center assignment to Asset & it is disabled. But since we are going for New cost centers the Assignment of old cost centers to Assets can not be continued.
    Hence pls. provide the solution on how to change of Cost Center assignment to Asset effective 01.05.2009 ? Also is this right approach to create New cost centers for the error message KS134 ?
    With Regrds,
    Shrirang

  • Change business are in cost center

    Hi
    How to change business are in the already created cost center ???? Pls advice
    Thanx

    Hi
    SAP note 62716 covers this process to change BA if data already exists:
    I have copied below in case you dont have access to notes:
    Symptom
    When you attempt to change the company code or the business area in the master record of the cost center, the system displays message KS020 or KS134 because dependent data already exists, or the system displays message KS021 because the change interval is not set to the year limits.
    Enhancement: As of Release 4.6C the report RKACOR06 is enhanced so that you can also change the master data from business processes (CO-ABC, Activity Based Costing) correspondingly.
    Reason and Prerequisites
    For actual postings, the company code is updated in the document. It is therefore not possible to change the company code of the participating account assignment (for example cost center) later on.
    The checks for dependent data, however, are carried out on year level. For this reason, it is not possible to change the company code or the business area during the fiscal year.
    Solution
    Using report RKACOR06, you can also make changes to the company code and the business area in the master record of the cost center during the fiscal year if the following requirements are met:
    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' - KS02 (for example, by changing the cost center manager).
    If the system contains dependent planning data in a plan integrated version, any respective profit centers and extended general ledgers that exist must be restructured. For profit center accounting, you can use Transaction 1KE0 for this purpose.
    Caution! If you change the company code of a cost center, a reversal of a posting in a different period can no longer be carried out if the cost center is assigned to another company code in the reversal period.
    Report RKACOR06 is contained in the standard system as of Release 3.1I.
    For prior releases, you can download the report from the FTP server sapserv3 from the directory /general/R3server/abap/note.0062716.
    Report RKACOR06 does not generate any change pointers. Thus, if you want to send the change of cost centers via ALE, use Transaction BD16.
    If you cannot change the BA for some other reason, please provide details.
    Regards, Elaine

  • 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.
    Regards,
    Naveen.

  • AS02 Change Business Area

    Dear all,
    I would like to transfer an asset from 1 cost center to new cost center which is crossing business area.
    i had searched through forum and found there are only 2 ways to maintain this.
    i would like to maintain same asset number for this transfer, therefore i activate iMG > Specify Time-Independent Management of Organiz. Units.
    However when i change this using AS02, error message shown F5 814 "Document Type  not defined".
    Kindly advise on the necessary config...

    Hi
    Please check the content of online help documents for the IMG customizing: Asset Accounting -> Master Data -> Specify Time-Independent Management of Organiz. Units:
    You need to make this specification if the following applies: You want to be able to change the assignment to a business area or cost center using a simple master data transaction, although you create balance sheets at the business area level or profit center level. The system then automatically creates a transfer document when you make this master data change to the business area or cost center
    That means you have to define a document type for the transfer document created by above activity.
    Best regards
    George

  • Business Area v/s Profit Center

    Hi Friends,
    Can some body tell me the major differences between a Business Area and a Profit Center
    or pls send me to mail i .e [email protected]
    Thanking u,
    Siva S.

    Hello,
    Business area is higher in hierarchy compared to Profit center. A business area can have multiple PCs assigned to it.
    Business area is used for reporting for internal -management accounting purpose. Financial statements for internal purposes can be drawn for BA just as for Co Cd for external and auditory purpose.
    Profit center are operation entities and lower in hierarchy, have a person reponsible and many cost centers can be assigned to one PC. It is used only for statistical purpose.Profit center data canbe rolled up to BA data.

  • Organisational keys are assigned based cost centre associated with Bus Area

    Hi ,
    I need to add the authorization check in the Z* program Within TE, restrictions are being implemented based upon organisational key.  Organisational keys are assigned based upon whether or not the cost centre has an associated business area.  If a business area exists, then a restricted organisational key (in range US01* to US50*) is assigned.  Otherwise, a non-restricted organisational key is used. 
    Can any one help me !
    Thanks,
    Nelson

    The authorization check for trip statistics reporting has a maximum of three stages:
    Before displaying the selection screen
    Before the selection screen is displayed a check is made as to whether the user has the authorization to view just his own trip data, or also the trip data of other employees.
    The following check is made:
    AUTHORITY-CHECK OBJECT 'P_TRAVL'
    ID 'AUTHP' FIELD 'E'
    ID 'BUKRS' DUMMY
    ID 'PERSA' DUMMY
    ID 'KOSTL' DUMMY
    ID 'PERSG' DUMMY
    ID 'PERSK' DUMMY
    ID 'VDSK1' DUMMY
    ID 'PTZUO' DUMMY
    ID 'AUTHF' DUMMY
    ID 'AUTHS' DUMMY.
    If the employee only has authorization to view his own data, the personnel number is determined using the Infotype Communication (0105). This personnel number is then displayed in the selection screen of the relevant report and can not be overwritten.
    If the Infotype 0105 has not been maintained the program ends abnormally and an appropriate error message is issued. No further checks are made as the employee can only display his own data.
    If the employee has the authorization to display the data of other employees as well, further authorization checks are made during the processing of the personnel and trip data.
    During processing of personnel data
    The following check is made for every personnel number read from the database:
    AUTHORITY-CHECK OBJECT 'P_TRAVL'
    ID 'AUTHP' DUMMY
    ID 'BUKRS' FIELD pa0001-bukrs
    ID 'PERSA' FIELD pa0001-werks
    ID 'KOSTL' FIELD pa0001-kostl
    ID 'PERSG' FIELD pa0001-persg
    ID 'PERSK' FIELD pa0001-persk
    ID 'VDSK1' DUMMY
    ID 'PTZUO' DUMMY
    ID 'AUTHF' DUMMY
    ID 'AUTHS' DUMMY.
    If the check is successful, the trip data for the personnel number is processed, if unsuccessful, the personnel number is ignored.
    During processing of trip data
    The following check is made for each selected trip:
    AUTHORITY-CHECK OBJECT 'P_TRAVL'
    ID 'AUTHP' DUMMY
    ID 'BUKRS' FIELD pa0001-bukrs
    ID 'PERSA' FIELD pa0001-werks
    ID 'KOSTL' FIELD pa0001-kostl
    ID 'PERSG' FIELD pa0001-persg
    ID 'PERSK' FIELD pa0001-persk
    ID 'VDSK1' DUMMY
    ID 'PTZUO' DUMMY
    ID 'AUTHF' FIELD authf
    ID 'AUTHS' DUMMY.
    The AUTHF field has 3 positions:
    Position 1: S - Statistics data for reporting
    Position 2: - Request status of trip
    Position 3: - Settlement status of trip
    If the check is successful, the selected trip is displayed in the report list, if unsuccessful, the trip is ignored.

  • Retaining history on validity period changes for qualifications

    We'd like to be able to retain the history on when validity periods for qualifications are changed in the TEM module.  I can't get the Qualification Catalog maintenance screens to allow us to enter the validity dates for the HRP1025 recors.  I was able to configure SAP to allow me to make the changes via PP01 but if we then make a subsequent update in OOQA the effective date goes back to the start date of the Qualification Object and the history is lost.  Is there any way to turn off the maintenance of the HRP1025 data from OOQA and force it to be done through PP01?

So, when you are extending the validity period for the same, you need to create this sec. cost Element again with validity from 01.01.2010 to the date you require (say 31.12.2010 or 31.12.9999).
    Hope it will clear to you. Pls get back for further query.
