Delete active Cost Element

I have a client who created a cost element in error.
They then posted to it, so it can be deleted.
It needs to be deleted as it affect CO-PA postings.
Does anybosy know of a way to delete a Cost Element, mid Fiscal Year for a Cost Element that has a balance.
I have looked on OSS but cant see anything. There must be a re-set program somewhere.

Hi
As per my understanding, if you have posted any transaction during a fiscal year, then it cannot be delimited for the whole fiscal year.
Hence I suggest you to delete the cost element in T.code KA04 from the first date of next fiscal year upto 31/12/9999.

How can I delete a cost element group

Hy,
I have a new system and the cost elements groups came with the questionary. Now I want to delete them, but I have an error like : "You want to delete object (Group element cost BON_1000). This is not possible because the object is being used in another object (group, report ... )." It is possible somehow to delete cost element group?
I don't have any other dates in the system. Thank you!

Hi Biro Dorel
The cost element group can be used by either back end configuration like cost component structure or front end transactions like allocation cycles.
Please make sure none of any front end or back end functions are using the cost element group.
If you do sure your system is new and no transactions use it. Please check whether the group is used by another cost element group. Or if you do not know where it is used, try to use the "where used list" to find the object using the group by click the buttom on the tool bar in the cost element group maintenance window (T_KAH3).

How to delete a cost element

I am unable to do a settlement for order number 6000110 as I get the message Complete alloacation structure in A1.
I know the cause of this problem is due to an incorrect posting which has already been reversed, thereby reflecting no charges to the cost element . However, the actual cost element and its description still appear under the order 6000110.
I do not want to extend the structure to include the incorrect cost element 60503 as the range starts from 80000 to 89999.
Is there any way I can remove this cost element so that it does not display under order number 6000110 ?

Hi NIketa
Whats the detailed error message? Can you paste that here?
Also, check the following, which may resolve your issue
1. If you are settling to the Top most WBS, i.e. to the project itself, do not do that... Settle it to a lower level WBS, atleast one level lower than the project...
2. Check if the status of that WBS is REL (released) and
3. The flag for "acct asst elem." is checked in the WBS element

Hello Ravi,
I repeatedly used the following programms Ajay might refer to.
First guess: xx29 might help.
"Best practice?": I would not call it best practice. At least it is SAP-reports and not
customer-specific reports.
I hope it helps.
With kind regards

Delete Cost Element after Plan data posted

A user created Cost Elements in error and posted fiscal 2010 Plan data, however the business users wish to track these particular accounts by profit center, not by cost center. We'd like to delete the cost elements so users will not be prompted for cost center when posting to these accounts.
But even after reversing the plan data, we are not permitted to delete these cost elements with KA04, - hard error cites records existing in Table COSP.
Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

Yes, you can't shorten the validity to exclude the posting data from the system, even though you made the balance zero by posting off-setting entries to that particular cost element.
Yes, shortening the validity works the same way as deletion.
Hope this helps.

Delete Cost element group

Hi Gurus,
I would like delete a cost element group by KAH2. When I try to delete it, the program tells me that is being used in a report.
I use the feature "Extras -> Where-Used list for group" to find the report in which I am using the cost element group.
I go to modify the report painter by GRR2 to see in what line is using this cost element group, but I can`t find any line of the report, or in General options of this report, where is using this cost element group.
It seems that the report is not using this cost element group, however I can not erase, because it always brings me to this report.
Someone can help me?
Thank you very much.

Hi
You can remove the cost elements from Cost Element Group just select the cost element Group(Tcode:KAH2) then select the cost element that time the cost element becomes in red colour then right click on it & click on remove (F5).
Then you can reassign the cost element if required
Please check & confirm the same
Hope this will solve your problem

Delete cost element o reconcile FI-CO

Hi guru,
I have the following problem.
I have posted a document in november with a G/L account that I haven't created cost element.
I have created the cost element in december and, succesively, posting another document.
Now, I can't delete the cost element.
Is there a way to reconcile CO with the FI posting that I made in november?
Thanks in advance
regards

Hi Sridhar,
I think OKBA is to transfer the document to SPL (Special Purpose Ledgers) and I don't think it is possible to transfer the data so as to create the cost center line items.
Please let me know your inputs.
Good Luck!!!!!
Thanks and Regards,

Delete cost element

Hello Everybody,
I try to delete a cost element with T KA04 in batch method, but it is more than a day since I executed and it is still going on.
Do you know if this is right?
On the other hand, I try to do this because a user created a GL account, then they made a posting in this account (without a cost center), and finally this GL account was created as a cost element. After this process, they realized the posting was wrong because a cost center has to be used.
Do any of you know how to deal with this problem?, how to delete the cost element or reverse the document they posted?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Israel,
Once a value is posted to a G/L account or a Cost Element, you cannot delete the same. You can only block the same so that no future postings happen to these.
You can reverse the document posted using the T Code FB08.
Let me know if this solves your issue.

Sridhar

Delete Cost Element which has a posting

Hi,
How do I delete a cost element which already has a posting in it?
Thanks,
Teo

HI Eli Klovski,
Your solution is:
The cost element should not be deleted after actual/planning data is put on it. You can prevent further posting on it in various ways, but you won't be able to delete it.
Can you tell me how to prevent further posting to cost element but it should be posted in FI
Suggest me please.

As suggested, go to KAH2, select the group (with a select button), then 'Delete' icon appears and you can delete it. Before this you can check if this group is used by clicking 'where used' button.

Cost Element Deletion Job test run getting run time error

How can I make test run of cost element deletion job in background?

Hi Riyas,
Deleting Cost Elements in the Background
If you want to delete many cost elements, the checks for dependent data take some time. You should therefore carry out the deletion in the background at times of minimal system usage.
To do so, choose Background processing.
Choose Execute and answer the confirmation prompt with Yes.
( T Code: KA04 - Individual cost element deletion )
( KA24 - Collective Deletion)
Enter a job name in the dialog box.
Enter a date and time for the planned start or select Immediate start.
You can also define from which date and from which time no more starts should occur.
Choose Confirm to leave the dialog box. In the next dialog box, choose Save.
The R/3 System deletes the cost elements at the date specified.
To check the current status of the job, choose System
Status of Background Job T Code: SM37 and Execute.

Cost element delete

Hi guru,
how to delete cost element after transaction......

Hi,
If there are any postings in controlling, run program RKACOR20 to delete the controlling document and try to delete the cost element.
if u r in production system system ignore my suggestion, if not then use okc3 to reset the transcation data of controlling area, then it will allow u to delete the cost element.
As per my knowledge, deletion is not a good practice. Try to go to OKB9 and change the cost element for your GL account.
also please check the link

Hope this helps..

Cost element deleted - log

Hi,
Is there a way to find out who has deleted a cost element please?
I'm hoping for some sort of log that might tell me.
Thanks

Hi,
If this cost element is deleted completely, then no. Otherwise, if only validity period has been shortened, you can go to KA03 - Menu - Environment - Change documents. Of course, if it has been deleted completely, this also means that there are no positngs, actual or planning, on this element.

Eli
