Cost Centre Retagging

0 Kudos
403

Hi Experts,

There might be many cases / scenarios in our Organisation that Cost Centre needs to be moved from one Cost centre Group / Hierarchy to another. (In MDG System)

In system there is two ways to do the Cost centre Retagging,

i. In Cost Centre master, in hierarchy area we can retag the Cost Centre group / hierarchy

ii. In Cost Centre Hierarchy where we can able to cut from existing group & paste it to the proposed group or else remove the Cost centre and retag it to the proposed group

The above steps can be followed if the volume of Cost Centres are less, but in my real scenario every day there might be chances of moving CCs are high in volume and at the time quarterly, half yearly & yearly are very high in numbers. So experts kindly help me out in this scenario how to make the changes in simplified manner.

Thanks!

Hi Sathiyanarayananan,

there is no option to remove the old assignments in a bulk way. In case you have many assignments to move than you can use for that the upload with the upload mode Delete all and upload again the complete hierarchy with the new assignments.

Hi Attila Toth,

Thanks for your reply.

The above way (Deleting the Complete Hierarchy & Uploading with the Proposed one) only we are following at the time of Year end changes because of the huge volume.

But in the daily BAU perspective the volume is less (around 50 Nos.) even though it is so difficult to handle it manually (Cut & Paste) & also its not feasible to delete the entire hierarchy & upload.

Deletion & Upload process will be approved by Top Mgmt only at the time of Year end structural changes. Hence I'm raising it as constraint & also looking for any alternate way from the experts.

(Total Cost centre groups / hierarchies - 1200 + & Total Cost Centres - 100K +)

Hello Sathiyanarayanan,

If the assignments are needed to be removed for a large volume, We faced the same situation had tried to delete the cost center assignments by building custom report governance api for hierarchy(IF_USMD_GOV_API_HRY) and it worked with method DELETE_ASSIGNMENT of the above api.

Please try to use the same by passing the required data in the report for achieving this functionality,

Recommendation would be to try in sandbox and then in the client systems.

Thanks & Regards
