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.
Regards
Sridhar

  • 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!!!!!

  • 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.

    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!

    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.

  • Cost element deletion-COEP entries deletion originated from Spl purpse ledg

We have deleted COEP entries by using program "RKACOR20 : to delete CO documents for the GL doc and its reversal document" generated from FI, but unable to delete one entry which has got originated from Special purpose ledger. Can any one suggest way to delete this entry from COEP table.

  • 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).

  • 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..

  • Check list for creating a cost element?

    Hi,
    Who can provide a check list for creating a cost element?
    Thank you.
    Kind regards,
    Linda

    Hi,
    Cost Elements are broadly of two categories - Primary and Secondary cost elements.
    In case of primary cost element a GL Account should have been created and in case of secondary cost no corresponding GL account should exist. Secondary Cost Elements are used only in Controlling Module. The transaction codes are:
    KA01 - Create Primary Cost Element.
    KA06 - Create Secondary Cost Element.
    KA02 - Change Cost Element
    KA03 - Display Cost Element
    KA04 - Delete Cost Element
    KA05 - Display Changes
    Once transaction data is posted Cost Element cannot be deleted.
    Another point in Cost Elements is defining the Cost Element category. Cost Element category determines which Cost Element category can be used for which Business Purpose. For example cost element category 1 is used for primary costs and 11 is used for revenues.
    In the default account assignment tab, we can define a cost center / internal order and always the postings for that cost element will be posted to that cost object.
    Thanks
    Murali.
