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 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.

Yes,
You can create cost element and interface depreciation posting to CO. For missed Depreciation, manual posting in CO can help to reconcile with FI.

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

Report Writer Issue - Revenue Cost Element - After Upgrade.

Hello ,
   After upgrade some of the report writers are not pulling up all the plan data.
   I found out that the revenue cost elements (cost element category - 11) are not being pulled by
   report writer in ECC 6.00, where it used to pull them in 4.6C. These postings were done to
   our budget version using KP06.
   These revenue cost elements postings are not stored in COSP. I dont have any idea in which tables
   they are stored.
   Does anyone have any clue about this.
Thanks,
Sandeep

Its a report writer report developed here..(not standard one)
The cost center is a revenue cost center. So when we post our revenues we post it to this revenue cost center.
The issue is in 4.6C env it used to pull this data, but in 6.00 it is not pulling.....
Thx,
Sandeep

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!!!!!

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

Cost Center & Cost Element Excel Planning Profile Error - KP06

Hi,
I have created a layout for cost center/cost element planning.after that i have created planner profile.but while saving the generic file,i am getting the below error and not able to save that.Kindly advice me.
A later upload is not possible with this layout
Message no. K9363
Diagnosis
The layout cannot be used for an upload. This can be caused by one of the following situations:
The layout does not contain a data field that is ready for input.
The layout has a lead column that only contains the text for the characteristic value and not the characteristic value itself
The layout contains formulas
The layout has a complex lead column and contains empty lines.
System response
If generic file names have already been created (that is, an upload is intended), the file description cannot be saved.
Procedure
If you want to use the layout for an upload, configure it accordingly.
If one of the last three situations is the case, the layout can only be used for manual planning and not for an upload. In this case, remove the generic file name.
Thanks
Supriya

Hi Supriya,

In December 2007 the account (Z) has created like cost element and we posted in same period others FI documents with account (Z).
Now we want to transfer the document posted with posting date 26.11.2007 and with account (Z) in CO module and we executed the following actions:
OKBA transaction but is not possible
KA04 transaction but is not possible because there are document posted on the (Z) account in December
Is there another way to resolve this issue?

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

Bapi to delete cost element in KAH2

Hi all,
anyone knows which is the bapi/function module that deletes any cost element at any group? Like it is done in transaction KAH2?
Thanks in advance,
Carlos.

Thank you so much Ganga!
The first one is working fine althought the cost element is not removed from table SETLEAF and it is still appearing in KAH3, but now with the message ">>> No valid master record", but it's the same as standard does.
Thanks again!
Carlos.
