1. Error: “Cost Center 1000/COST001 Does Not Exist” in F-02

  • Issue: Posting to cost center COST001 in F-02 fails with: “Cost center 1000/COST001 does not exist on 03/28/2025.”
  • Cause: The cost center is not created or its validity period does not cover the posting date.
  • Resolution:
    1. Go to KS03 (Display Cost Center), enter cost center COST001 and controlling area 1000.
    2. If it doesn’t exist, create it in KS01 with validity (e.g., 01/01/2020 to 12/31/9999).
    3. If it exists, extend the validity period in KS02 to include 03/28/2025.
    4. Retry the posting in F-02.
  • Outcome: The posting completes with the correct cost center.

2. Issue: Cost Center Report (S_ALR_87013611) Shows No Data

  • Issue: Running S_ALR_87013611 (Cost Centers: Actual/Plan/Variance) shows no data for cost center COST002.
  • Cause: No costs were posted to the cost center, or the selection criteria exclude the data.
  • Resolution:
    1. Go to KSB1 (Cost Center Line Items), enter cost center COST002 and period 03/2025.
    2. Verify if costs exist; if not, post a test entry in F-02 using cost element 400000.
    3. In S_ALR_87013611, adjust the selection (e.g., fiscal year 2025, period 03) and rerun.
  • Outcome: The report displays the cost center data.

3. Error: “Cost Center Locked for Primary Postings” in KB11N

  • Issue: Reposting costs in KB11N fails with: “Cost center COST003 is locked for primary postings.”
