Deactivate cost center

Hello all,
I have a question regarding deactivating a cost center in transaction OKENN.
What happen if I deactivate a valid cost center? What affect does it have on reports from former years, will the deactivated cost center still be displayed with all its data? Will there be any errors or will not all data be displayed?
Thanks in advance,
Anne

Hiya,
Neither deactivating nor deleting a Cost Centre will not have any effect on your past data.
When you deactivate, you cannot post any data to it from the time it is deactivated, but the Cost Centre exists in the system.
The earliest you can delete a Cost Centre is from the start of the next fiscal year as per your Fiscal Year Variant. However dependant data will continue to exist in CSSL/COKA, etc., for the current and past years and will not affect reporting.
However unlikely it may be, if you face issues, recreate / activate the Cost Centre at a later date.
Cheers.

Deactivate Cost center accounting in controlling area

Hi all,
Could you describe the consequences of the deactivation of CO-CCA in the controlling area?: should I expect incoherencies ?
The activation (deactivation) code setting is free in OKKP transaction. My first deactivation test show me it's possible to make new postings in FI (FB60) and the cost center is not necessary anymore.
In fact in my case I don't need to check FI-CO reconciliation.

Pascal Cuenin

Hello
Why this type of requirement is coming into our mind. SAP controlling has very good funtionalities for internal reporting. If you deactivate cost center accounting then how your management would see...cost center reporting, budgeting, controlling
for example you have cost element salary,,,,,with one gl for a company,,,how you will distinguish salary with reference to a division , dept, location....
how you will get your assessment, settlement, costing all these for which CO functionalities are developed

Inactive cost center report

Hello all,
i wanted a list of my cost centers that are active only ( i dont want the inactive ones to be in this list). I couldnt find a indicator for this which i coudl use to distinguish active vs inactive.
Plesae advice how we find this difference

How do you define in your organization an inactive cost center?
Do you block postings from the control data of the cost center. If that be the case, you can be rest assured that postings, at the first instance, would not have gone to that cost center.
Do you deactivate cost center by deleting from a future period?

PR creation for 'F" in ME51N, ME52n, the cost center field exit getactivate

Dear Gurus,
We have a Cost center Field exit activation, meaning when a PR is generated, the system will validate only for his department cost center. Its working fine
The issue, when we create PR through ME51n or me52n for Acct Assign "F" here we are going to enter only Work order number and GL number, not cost center. Still this field exit has activation, here the same error message popup, which suppose not to be.
So in MM configuration, i have disabled Cost center field for acct assignment "F".
Now when i create a PR for F, for single account assignment, the system will alllow, but if i want to distribute the qty to different work order, the system goes for validation for cost center field exit.
How to resolve for multiple assignment, how to deactivate the Cost center field exit for this case, its woking fine of Single account assignment (after disable the cost center field for Account Assignment "F")
Please help me out or any way to do this?
Regards
RS

Hi,
Cross check you have Cost Center field is Hidden for Account Assignment Category A (Asset) in t.code:OME9. Now change Cost Center field as Display for Account Assignment Category A and save.
Now create a new PO with Account Assignment Category A and find the difference how Cost Center appearing in your PO in “Account Assignment” TAB.

Setup Cost Center hiearachy first, then Profit Center hierachy later?

Dear Experts,
Should I setup the cost center hierarchy first, then the profit center hierarchy later?
Regards,
Abraham

I see. but if I setup profit center hierachy first, then I got to redo the same for Cost Center. I thought I could do the Cost center first, then copy them to profit center since there's a "copy cost center group" function in profit center accounting.
Can I deactivate the profit center accounting since each time I skip the profit center entry during cost center creation, the following message pop up?
"Profit Center Accounting active but no profit center specified (CCtr 1110)"

Abraham

Table for "Budget planning : Cost Center"

Pls tell me the table to retrieve the data.

You can do it yourself.
goto transaction St05. activate the trace. then execute the transaction. after execution goto st05. click deactivate trace.
then click display trace...hit enter button. a list will be displayed. goto menu bar choose first menu then choose option "Summarice sql statements"...a list will be displayed from which you can know what all tables were affected by the transaction.

Cost center receiving the real posting even WBS Element are present

Dear All
As per standard SAP documentation, when both cost center and WBS elements are present in the same accounting document, WBS element will take real posting and cost center will take statistical posting.
But in the MIRO document cost center took the real posting even the WBS element is present in the line item of the accounting document.
Regards
Partha Pratim Bhar

Hi
If the WBS element is not statistical, then the real posting should be to the WBS element. However, if you see, when the WBS element becomes a statistical,(when the check mark is added in the control tab) the field cost center becomes active and needs to be input.
In your case since you are deriving the cost center through a substitution rule. Normally if you rules of priority during a document posting, the substitution and validation rules takes a higher priority. So apparently the cost center will get the real posting!! Since the real posting is already made to the cost center, the entry to the WBS element would become a statistical one...
Thats the reason why the situation changes when you deactivate the substitution rule. I am not sure about the entry in the WBS element...My guess is that you would not be able to settle the costs in the WBS Elements.
Hope this clarifies.

Org Unit inheritance link to Parent Cost Center - is this Config?

Hi
We started at a new client and have difficulty maintaining the Org Structure A 011 relationships to child Org Units. The system undoes our implicit links. We want the implicit links to be there and not inherited. Is it possible to switch off the inheritance in config?
Please assist/advise.
Thank you, Adrian

what do you mean when you say the system 'undoes' your implicit links? Did you mean the system undoes the inherited cc value by using the explicit cc-assignment done at an org unit level? if yes that is how sap works,... the options are
a. do not do explicit creation of cost center to org unit . that way assigning a cost center at the top org unit will suffice as that will be inherited to all org units down the structure. But this is not a workable business scenario at all.
b. determine the explicit cost center assignments at each org unit level and do the assignment accordingly.
lastly : I dont think inheritence of cost center is something you can deactivate in img.
cheers

Profit center compulsory in cost center master

Hi,
Would anyone know how to render compulsory the profit center when creating a cost center?
With regards,
Ronan

Fixed value: KS, short text: RK-S master data maintenance.
b) Release 4.6: Add message class 'KS' to view V_T100SA.For this purpose, call Transaction SM31, enter view V_T100SA and choose 'Maintain'. Add application area 'KS'.
c) <= 4.6C: Using Transaction SM31, add the following entry to table T100S: Application area MsgNo Allowed Standard Switch Off
KS 096 IWE W X
Now you can use Transaction OBA5 to change message KS096 to information message / error message or to deactivate the message completely.

Cost Center Planning Table

Hello,
I am trying to find the table that stores the cost center plan information that is entered in transaction KP06. The help says that it is in RKPLN but SAP says that the the table does not exist.
Thanks for helping.
Eric

Hi Eric,
The table name you mentioned is a structure and definitely there is no table with that name exist.
As i do not have the real time data and fields mentioned which you are looking for its difficult for me to tell you the exact table name.
Still you can find out yourself by following the below steps, if you have test data with you -
1) Go to transaction ST05 (SQL Trace).
2) Click on the button Activate Trace.
3) Open transaction KP06 in another Session/window.
4) Enter the Test data.
5) Once you see all the required data populated on the screen, go to the other screen ST05 opened.
6) Click on deactivate trace.
7) Then Click on Display trace.
8) It will give you another Pop-Up, just click Ok.
9) It will display all the table and details of select query performed on the various table to populate the transaction.
10) You can check for the various tables which fetched data and get the table you are looking for.
If you are only looking for fetching the cost then its stored in COSS and COSP.
Hope this helps and works too!

Cost center query tkakes a long time while executing with User's Id

Hi Experts,
We have a cost-center query which is taking a long time to display the output with User's id.
I tried running the report with the same selections and was able to get the values within seconds.
Also we have maintained aggregates on the cube.
When user tries it for a single cost-center the performance is Ok.
Any help on this wil be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Amit

Hi,
while running the query find the trace in ST05 - before running the query in RSRT activate the trace with user id and after seeing the report in RSRT deactivate the trace.
go through the logs find the which object taking long time then create the aggregates on the cube.
while creating agggates give the fixed value.
please find the doc " how to find the SQL traces in sap bi"
Thanks,
Phani.

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.
Paula.
