Hi,

This is not possible with standard configuration.

Cost center in PO is at item level.... if u have more than one item in a PO and each item with different cost center, how system can handle? as PO is subjected to header level release.

i do not have this case in my customer the PO will be with only one cost center

Kamal,

Cekko is the Structure for Release Strategy. In that structure "Cost Center " is not available.

U shud take the help of a ABAPER.

or

Use EKKN-KOSTL in CT04(Release Characteristics). use this in release strategy.

Check it and tell me also,whether its working fine or not.

(Got the info from other SAP FORUM)

it is not working with the second solution

Your issue is the Release Strategy is for the PO and Cost Centre is defined at item level and there can be multiple per item.

It would be 15 seconds work for an ABAPer to fill a Cost Centre field in the Comm. structure with the Cost Centre off the first item.

Kamal,

then u have to go for first solution.

Ask ur Abaper create a fieldname "Cost Center" in the CEKKO Structure.
