Component Structure - Change

[former_member133142]

Hello,

We are in public cloud and want to change the standard component structure Y1.

We did not find an option to create a new component structure and therefore depend only on the existing one by SAP.

It is possible to add accounts and change descriptions of elements. But we cannot delete and reassign accounts that were configured by SAP.

Is there an explanation for this behaviour or has anyone raised an incident by SAP as this is a fault?

I appreciate your comments.

Kind Regards, Wolf

Hi Wolf,

The standard design of the SSCUI does not provide the option to create a new cost component structure or delete the entries provided by SAP and also the ‘From Cost element'. As an alternative you can use the below workaround:

1. Create new line, example 999 in cost component named 'Not required'.
2. Re-assign this GL to the 999 line ID.

As long as you don’t post this GL, GL assigned to cost component should not create any negative impact. You can block the GL account for which you do not want to make postings/use to avoid any accidental posting.

Best Regards,
Ujvala

Hello All, As we can not change the "From cost element", how can we remove the a particular GL from that cost component.

Lets say my client say instead of Direct Material, client wants to break the component in RM and SFG Assuming I want to use the GLs provided by SAP standard, how can I do this Thanks

Hi Ujvala,

Thanks for the reply.

Is there a specific reason that a new component structure is not allowed?

We now must adjust all acounts according to this structure. But our customer has already set up new accounts as well.

Hi Wolf,

The configuration needs to be done before go live.

Thanks - we have considered that it needs to be inactive.
