Cost Center Deletion

[p_vinnakota]

Hi All,

We are in the process of Upgrade from 4.6C to ECC 5.0. As a part of Unit testing I have created a Cost Center using TC KS01. When immediately I try to delete the same Cost Center using KS04 I am not allowed to delete. The message I get is <b>

Deletion not possible (usage is in table T811C)

Message no. KS266</b>.

Diagnosis

Cost center C002/0000001488 cannot be deleted because it is still being used in table T811C.

System response

The following tables are checked during deletion:

Cycles:

T811C: Cycles in Overhead Cost Controlling or Profitability Analysis

CATS data that has not yet been transferred to CO:

CATSCO: CATS transfer CO

CATSPS: CATS transfer PS

CATSPM: CATS transfer PM

CATSMM: CATS transfer MM

COIFT: Interface for activity allocation.

PTEX2000: Interface table for IT attendance/absence (2002/2001)

PTEX2010: Interface table for infotype employee remuneration information (2010)

Settlement rules:

COBRB: Distribution rules, settlement rule, order settlement

Orders:

AUFK: Order master data

Projects that are indicated as account assignment elements:

PRPS: WBS element (work breakdown structure element) master data

Assets to which postings can be made:

ANLZ: Asset assignments with validity date

In the standard system, this message is issued as an error message.

In Customizing, you can deactivate this message. See the implementation guide (IMG) for "General Controlling" under the following activity: "Change Message Control" (work area "KS", message number "266").

Procedure

You can display all of these uses by choosing the ENVIRONMENT menu in Cost Center Master.

Could you please let me know how do I delete the cost center?

Thanks and Regards.

Hi,

Use T.Code: OBMSG

Application Area: KS

Message No.: 266

Change it from error to warning.

Save and come out

Now try to delete the cost centre. The system will allow.

Hope this helps, if yes, please assign points.

Regards,

Dear Harish,

I can understand that , given the scenario of the cost center being created and then trying to delete it immediately, the efficacy of your solution is apt. But I was apprehensive to adopt this path, as this is cross client table.

This is a useful tool to force the system but due to the cited reason, I did not adopt this path.

How ever, I sincerely thank you for your kind efforts.

Best regards.
