Problem while changing Business Area in Cost Center Master Data

I am having a problem while changing the Business area in cost center master data, the system does not allow to change the business area due to the following reasons;
1. The transactional data already exists for that cost center
2. The desired date required to be changed, falls between analysis period 01.01.2000 to 31.12.2999
Can anyone help me in order to reslove this issue
Thanking in anticipation

How to change Functional area in cost center master

Dear Guru,
As required, i have to change the Functional area in cost center master data.
SAP Warning Message :
Transaction data exists; note long text
Note
A change of the functional area can lead to inconsistencies when reversing documents.
If documents are reversed after the functional area has been changed, in some cases,
the reversal document may be posted with the new functional area.
My question is how to change the new functional area to the old one after reversing documents.
We aren't using Special Purpose Ledger . Please Help me, thanks.

Hi
For the transactions already posted you will not be able to change the Functional Area. Also if those documents are getting reversed now after the change, the reversal document will get posted to the new Functional Area only.
For all those documents which gets reversed after the change, you need to pass FI journal entry by changing the Functional area in the journal entry and not in the Cost Center Master

Not able to delete Business Area from Cost Center Master: Msg KS022 & KS370

Hi,
We have a created a cost center with a business area by an oversight
(i.e we are not using BA) and postings have been done to CC, now we want to
delete the business area from CC master but the system is giving error
KS134 'Field change Business Area is not possible (transaction data
already exists)'.
So we tried to change the analysis period and in the new analysis
period (which is mid-year) we deleted the BA and during saving there
are messages KS370 'No fiscal year defined for the analysis period' &
KS022 'No further processing -> contact your system administrator' .
We are using V3 as the fiscal year variant which is non-calendar fiscal
year.
Please let us know how handle this as we need to delete the Business
area from the CC master during mid-year.
Thanks
VS

Hi,
You need to change BA of an already posted against cost center.
There is a consulting note you should take into consideration:
62716 KS020 when changing company code, business area The prerequisites of how the business area might be changed during the fiscal year:
-The change interval is set to period limits
-There is no dependent actual transaction data in the change interval or afterwards.
-There must already be an analysis period for the respective cost
center which starts on the first day of the chosen period. If this is not the case, you can create one with 'Change cost center' - KS02 (for example, by changing the cost center manager).
Nevertheless if there is dependent actual data already posted in the time frame from the change date and all periods forth it is not possible to change the business area. This is bound to consistency reasons as the business area is stored in the CO-documents.
If You need to change the business area in this particular period with actual postings You must cancel all actual documents already posted on the cost center between the date of change and all forthcoming periods.

Waman

Change business are in cost center

Hi
How to change business are in the already created cost center ???? Pls advice
Thanx

Hi
SAP note 62716 covers this process to change BA if data already exists:
I have copied below in case you dont have access to notes:
Symptom
When you attempt to change the company code or the business area in the master record of the cost center, the system displays message KS020 or KS134 because dependent data already exists, or the system displays message KS021 because the change interval is not set to the year limits.
Enhancement: As of Release 4.6C the report RKACOR06 is enhanced so that you can also change the master data from business processes (CO-ABC, Activity Based Costing) correspondingly.
Reason and Prerequisites
For actual postings, the company code is updated in the document. It is therefore not possible to change the company code of the participating account assignment (for example cost center) later on.
The checks for dependent data, however, are carried out on year level. For this reason, it is not possible to change the company code or the business area during the fiscal year.
Solution
Using report RKACOR06, you can also make changes to the company code and the business area in the master record of the cost center during the fiscal year if the following requirements are met:
1. The change interval is set to period limits
2. There is no dependent actual transaction data in the change interval or afterwards.
3. There must already be an analysis period for the respective cost center which starts on the first day of the chosen period. If this is not the case, you can create one with 'Change cost center' - KS02 (for example, by changing the cost center manager).
If the system contains dependent planning data in a plan integrated version, any respective profit centers and extended general ledgers that exist must be restructured. For profit center accounting, you can use Transaction 1KE0 for this purpose.
Caution! If you change the company code of a cost center, a reversal of a posting in a different period can no longer be carried out if the cost center is assigned to another company code in the reversal period.
Report RKACOR06 is contained in the standard system as of Release 3.1I.
For prior releases, you can download the report from the FTP server sapserv3 from the directory /general/R3server/abap/note.0062716.
Report RKACOR06 does not generate any change pointers. Thus, if you want to send the change of cost centers via ALE, use Transaction BD16.
If you cannot change the BA for some other reason, please provide details.
Regards, Elaine

How to change company code in cost center master

Hi,
Can anyone throw me the light about how to change company code in cost center master? User make some mistake. They maintained wrong company code in cost center master and there are some transactions already posted to this cost center. I would appreciate all attention and point will be reqard. Thanks much
Best Regards,
Bird

Hi,
The cost center master data fields have time dependancy. Following are the details of time dependancy.
You can maintain master data for cost centers, cost elements, activity types, and business processes as time-based. Changes to any other time interval are possible at any given time. Data storage is also time-based. In this way, you can store multiple database records for a master data record, each holding different information.
The time-based dependencies are determined by SAP and cannot be changed. The following dependencies are possible:
Not time-based
Day-based
Period-based
Fiscal Year-based
Cost Center's company code field's time based dependancy is Fisal Year Based and hence, the company code can be changed on cost center only on new fiscal year. And hence, system will not allow changing company code on cost center master data until new fiscal year if transactions are posted to the cost center.
You may have to think of work around :
1) Create new cost center with correct co code
2) Repost the cost posted to old cost center (with wrong co code) to the new cost center.
Explore the possibility of this work around on your system with the key user and then see whether this option works out.
Hope this helps. Pls. assign points if this is helpful.

Chirag

Change of Business Area to Cost Center (my first thread , please help)

Hi Everybody i'm Charmaine Leena Martin freshly certified FICO consultant , this is my first thread i'm posting, please help me with the same.
A wrong business area has been assigned to a cost center and postings have taken place in the same.
while using t-code KS02: change cost center , for rectifying the business area , i get the following error:
"Field change business area is not possible (transaction data exists)"
so i've created a new cost center and assigned it the right business
and using t-code kb61 : i have posted the documents to the new cost center
at that time system generates a co-document automatically:
But the accounting document of which transfer postings have taken place still shows old business area and cost center
Please let me know why is it so ,
and what has to be done with the CO document that gets posted automatically
and is there any other way out of changing the business area without creation of new cost center
Moderator: Please, search before posting

Hi Leena
Welcome to SDN
Do KB11N to post the cost back to the Wrong cost center
Do an FI Posting again Dr the Correct new cost center and Cr the Old wrong cost center
This will match both FI and CO

Field Business Area in cost center cannot be changed

Hello all,
we would like to change the "Business Area FS" (OB65) field for our
company code to required. But if we do that, we have issues with 2 of
our cost centers (ks02, analysis period 01/01/10-12/31/10) that won't
allow us to enter a business area.
We get the following error message:
NA KS134 Field change Business Area is not possible.
Diagnosis: To ensure of existing data, you can only change object
Business Area if no transaction data exists in the change period; that
is, neither plan data nor actual data has been posted.
I have checked with our accounting and the cost center report does not
have any data in actual nor budget.
Somehow I figured out that we do have an entry in table CEKO for this
cost center for 2010. (se16n). I did some further research and tried to
test report RKPLNC18 to delete this entry. But I get the message:
the deletion could not be carried out. The following plan/actual
records are available...
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Anne

Hi
You can change the business area in cost center by changing the Analysis period. If there's any data exsist it is not allow you to change the business area. If else block or eleate the cost center and create a new one ( even though this might not permitted if data exsist in related to cost center.

Problem in changing business area in asset master record - urgent

I am facing this problem while trying to change the cost center of an asset to another cost center belonging to a different business area. We are on ECC 6.0.
I have activated time independent management of organizational units for my company code, and business area and cost center field is becoming editable. But when I try to change the cost center, the system asks whether I want to overwrite existing time dependent data. When I click "No", it asks to enter the validity start date for the new cost center.
Here is where the problem comes. When I try to save the asset, the system tries to generate a FI posting, and cannot find the profit center (made mandatory in document splitting).
I have checked in debugging (in a separate program used for substitution) that initially prctr field for bseg is populated, but in spite of that while posting the document, the system cannot determine the profit center.
If any one has faced this problem and knows the solution, kindly help.

Pls check if you have maintained profit centers under General Ledger Accounting (New) > Master Data> Profit Center--> Assign Default Profit Center to Accounts

Assign Business Area to cost center

HI Guru's
i would like to assign the business area to existing cost center, which is having some posted entries.
But system throws the below error message
"For change Business area is not possible (transaction data already exists)"
Pls help me
Rgds,

Hi,
You cannot change buisness area for a cost as this field is for each fiscal year. For example, you can change the field content for a new fiscal year by changing the validity period. Mean splitting the validity period provided there is no transaction data. The data in this field is always time-based.
This is to for the consistency of data in SAP.
Please also check out the following link:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_47x200/helpdata/EN/08/51457143b511d182b30000e829fbfe/frameset.htm
However, I think you can use substitution rule to subtitute business area in document level for cost center. I am not sure whether this will work.
Hope this helps.
Please assign points as a way to say thanks.

Change Tax Jurisdiction code (TXJCD) in Cost Center Master Data

Hi There,
We have a problem of making change to Tax Jurisdiction Code in Cost Center Master Data. We are on ECC 6.0 with Vertex system as external tax system. When we create Cost center, system automatically derive tax jurisdiction code from vertex) external system). Now Vertex have made changes to Tax Jurisdiction Code for same place based on US Gov directive. these changes are time period base say from 01/01/2008 to 06/30/2009 Tax Jurisdiction Code "TX1000" and from 07/01/2009 to 12/31/999 Tax Jurisdiction Code "TX2000" (example) When we go to change mode in Cost Center, system automatically derive the new Tax Jurisdiction Code and update the cost center with new Tax Jurisdiction Code "TX2000". When we book invoice for cost center, with back date say 06/29/2009, system through the error, that it is not a valid Tax Jurisdiction Code.
My question is; how can we maintain two different Tax Jurisdiction Code in SAP for Cost Center? From configuration stand point of view, we have maintained TXJCD as time dependent field, but still this field is grayed out and sytem populate the Tax Jurisdiction Code from external system, since we have installed vertex system for tax purpose.
Please let me know.
Thanks,
Pawan Sharma

Pawan,

Co code not seen for cost center master data creation in OKEON

hI:
In org tab of Cost center master data creation while configuring cost center hierarchy in OKEON i can not see organization tab. I have checked in OKKP Co area is assigned to co code but still the issue persist.
Br

hi
you mean the tab is not displayed? strange, it seems that there should be a screen layout to control the ui, or any transaction variant is recorded. I tried in my side, the tab is there.
@ Murali, you are right, but in that tab, not only company code can be configured, but also business area, functional area etc.
best regards, Lawrence
