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.

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.

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

Welcome to the Apple Community.
The first thing you should do is have your friend log out of your account and change your password.
Do you have a back up from when you had the contacts on your phone.

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.

Delete cost element o reconcile FI-CO (2)

Hi guru,
we have the following problem:
We posted a document (posting date "26.11.2007") with two account (X, Y) just created like a cost element in November 2007(validity date "01.01.2000 - 31.12.999) and another one account (Z) not created like cost element in November 2007.
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?
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 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,

Delete cost center that has postings

Hi Sappers!
I need to delete a cost center that has posting till 07.30.2007.
The balance of the cost center is $0.
Appreciate your time!

Thanks for your replies guys...
I executed the test run in KS04. I can't delete the cost center as it already has posting till period 07/30/2008. ( I had mentioned this before as well)
Is it that I'll have to wait till the end of the validity period to delete the cost center? If yes, then do I have to change the validity to say todays date and then delete it?
The postings to this cost center have stopped since August. No one posts to this cost center. So I guess there is no need to block the postings.
Appreciate your time!
Edit: The cost center is already blocked against postings.

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.

How can I delete a dir which has sub-dir's ?

Dear list,
Can some one send me a link or send me a code example of how to delete all the sub- directories in a specified directory. My dir has sub-directories which contain files!
If I use the java.io package I must loop all the sub- directories, and java.io.File.delete() wont delete a dir when it contains files, so I will have to go into each sub-dir and delete the files before deleting the sub-dir. This is going to be a lot of code, and YES ! I am a little lazy!
Is there a java package, with a method, where I can just delete a dir, which just deletes it and ALL its contents ?
regards
BB

    // Delete an empty directory
    boolean success = (new File("directoryName")).delete();
    if (!success) {
        // Deletion failed
    }If the directory is not empty, it is necessary to first recursively delete all files and subdirectories in the directory. Here is a method that will delete a non-empty directory.     // Deletes all files and subdirectories under dir.
    // Returns true if all deletions were successful.
    // If a deletion fails, the method stops attempting to delete and returns false.
    public static boolean deleteDir(File dir) {
        if (dir.isDirectory()) {
            String[] children = dir.list();
            for (int i=0; i<children.length; i++) {
                boolean success = deleteDir(new File(dir, children));
if (!success) {
return false;
// The directory is now empty so delete it
return dir.delete();

How do you indentify a cost center which has had no posting activity

We need to identify all cost centers that haven't had a financial posting in 2 years. Is there any stardard way to identify those cost centers?
Thanks

Yes, this report shows you the cost centers against which you have financial postings. By downloading this report to Excel you can eliminate the Cost Centers using "V Look Up" with the total no of cost centers you have in your client.
