Suppress business area field in cost center master data(KS01)

Hi
As the client is not using business area, he don't want the business area field to appear in the cost center creation screen(KS01).
Is there any work around to this
Regards
Aravind

Hi Aitipamula,
Have you looked transaction code <b>OB65</b> to deactive the business area?
Also you can technically use transaction variant (t/code SHD0) to supress the field. For more information, please check this link.

Company code field in cost center master data

I am trying to create some cost centers, but noticed that the company code field is not available for entry in the cost center master data. In other words, the company code field does not appear or is hidden. My understanding is that an entry in company code field in cost center master data is mandatory. Can someone advice as to what setting is missing?

Hi MG,
Appearance of the field "Company Code" in cost center master data depends on the following point...
In Controlling Area settings in OKKP, if you have opted for single company code, then, whatever the cost center you create under this controlling area is obviously belongs to that company code only. So, system will not display the filed "Company Code" in cost center master data.
If you have opted for cross-company code controlling in OKKP settings, then, when you create a cost center in that controlling area, then the system will give the field "Company Code" in cost center master data so that in which company code you need to create the cost center.
I hope u got it...

Business area field in Cost center

Dear Guru's
We created a Cost center for a validity period of 01.01.2006 to 31.12.9999 with a business area of ABC.
Transactions and line items are existed in the cost center
Now we decided to change the business area of the cost center from the ABC TO XYZ. I went to KS02 here the filed is editable mode when i enter the new business area for cost center it gives a message in the following manner.
Field change Business Area is not possible (transaction data already exists)
Message no. KS134
please could you help me how to change the field.
Thanks and Regards

Dear Laxmi,
There are records that have been created and hence the system is not allowing you to change the data. Change the analysis period and then system would allow you.
KS02 -> Enter the Controlling area -> Enter the cost centre -> go to menu "EDIT- Analysis period" -> click on the button "Other Analysis Period" and change the validity.
Regards,
Naveen.

This path refers to exit COOMKS01.... (For Cost Center Enhancement using Custom fields)
For the above requirement, I belive COOMKS02 is the right one.... (Custom checks before saving)

as far as I know, this is not possible. If a field is mandatory or not in cost center master data is determined by the system.

Mandatory field in cost center master

Hi,
In a particular cost center master data(which was created earlier), business area is a mandatory field. It is critical to remove this mandatory option which has defaulted automatically. Entering a business area in the cost center master data is ruled out now. Also, deletion of the cost center is not possible as transaction data already exists.
Please advise how to remove this mandatory indicator in the cost center master data as the system is not allowing to post any actual posting.
Regards,
Sakthy

Hi,
Check if the global parameters for your company has "Indicator: Business area financial statements required" on. This will affect also cost center master creation. Transaction Code: OBY6.
Please discuss with financial members before you change it.
Best regards, Takashi

Cost Center validity period change & Business area assignment to cost cente

We are facing with error KS134 - Transaction data already exists for the period.
We tried to create new cost center with period split. But I am getting error KS133 - Deletion is not possible (dependent records exist in table ).
Hence even creation of the new cost center is not possible. We alrady have Validity Period from 1.04.2005 to 31.12.9999.
Is there any alternative solution ?
Sumeet

Hi Sumeet,
The fields in Cost Center Master Data are "Time-Dependent" and you can see the Time-Dependency of each field in OKEG transaction code where you can find "Business Area" to be "Fiscal-Year" based.
So, if at all you need to change the Business Area, it would be possible in next financial year only...
And also, because, your Cost Center is defined from 01.04.2005 to 31.12.999, there is no way that you can change the validity period so as to create / extend in the same period-lap.
I hope you got it...

Business area change in cost center

Dear Expers,
Please guide me,
How to change the business area in cost center master data, which is having already data in that cost center, any programme to change, if i change B.A what will happen, any problem to old data which is posted with that cost center.
Regards
Chandu

Hi,
It is not possible or allowed to change the master data field: business
area of the cost center once you have made postings to this cost center
period.
And normally it's also not possible to change business area during a
fiscal year once there is already postings in this Fiscal Year.
The reason is to make sure that there is no change within the fiscal
year since you then would have different postings - cost center
belonging to different business areas within the same fiscal year.
Meaning that it is possible to change the business area for the next
fiscal year like described in the long text of the error message KS134.
The reason is that it is to avoid inconsistency update of the table
(COSS, COEP, or COSP).
To change business area,you should create a new period for the cost
center with no postings to this new period and change BA then.
But if you want to change BA during FY,please review note 62716
as well as the requirements stated in the note.
I hope it helps,
Regards,

Changing business area on a cost center

We mainly use HR, but we use some FI/CO for accounting. (I am no expert in FI/CO whatsoever - so please excuse any incorrect terms).
Our users have entered incorrect business area to a cost center.
This business area is now registered on employees, and payroll/posting has been run up unitil October 2010.
If I try to change business area from 01.11.2009 (realize it is probably not good to change earlier due to postings); I get the following error message: "Field change Business Area is not possible (transaction data already exists)"
In addition, the message says: If you still want to change the object, select a suitable change interval by choosing "Edit -> Analysis period...". However, trying to change the analysis period I am told I have to choose year end.
My questions are:
1. Is there a way I can change business area from 01.11.2009 ?
2. Is there a way to change area earlier - and if so, what are the impacts+
I appreciate any help

Hi Kirsten,
Normally, it's not possible to change business area during a fiscal year once there is already postings in this Fiscal Year.
The reason is to make sure that there is no change within the fiscal year since you then would have different postings - cost center belonging to different business areas within the same fiscal year. Meaning that it is possible to change the business area for the next fiscal year like described in the long text of the error message KS134. The reason is that it is to avoid inconsistency update of the table (COSS, COEP, or COSP).
Although, If the following requirements are met, than it is is possible to change the business area during a fiscal year with the
help of the note 62716:
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'
If the requirements are met, you can run the report RKACOR06 in SE38
safely. I recommend you to execute the report first with Test Run on
your test system.

Company Code field now shown in Cost Center Master Data

Hi
I am new, I configured CCA. Created Controlling area and versions. When I created a cost center company code field not shown. I think one cost center assined to a one company code but in cost center master data Company code field not shown. I want to cost center company code specific. I using ECC6
Pl help.

Hi,
When you will assign additional company codes, the cost centre created now, by default will be assigned to the existing company code, and for the new one - you will have to define cost centres again. So, everything is fine, do not worry.

Add Option of choosing values from list in "Person Responsible" field of Cost Center Master

Dear All,
Could anyone advise me how can I add the option to Choose Values from list to field "Person Responsible",
in Cost Center Master Data ?
The Technical Name of this field is VERAK, and currently it is an open field.
I would like to allow the user to choose values from existing list.
Thank you!
Orly

Hi Orly,
You have take it to your ABAPer, who will have to modify the attributes of CSKSZ-VERAK field in CSKSZ structure. ABAPer will have to define it with foreign key and introduce the name of the table, which will be used for deriving the available values. No standard table exists for it, but you can either create your own Z-table or take it from users table (USR02) if you have the necessary information there. Of course, this action would account for modification of standard SAP structure.

Eli
