Hello,

How do i change a standard hierarchy for profit centers which is already assigned in 0kE5.

Currently there are no transaction data in the system.However the profit centers are already assigned to the standard hierarchy ABC.

We now want to change the standard hierarchy to DEF.

Is this possible?

Thanks & Regards,

Rajeshwari

Hi,

If no transaction data is posted it can be changed. Before that you need to remove all Profit Center groups and Profit Centers from the existing standard hierarchy (ABC). Using transaction code KCH4 - you can delete and create a new standard hierarchy.

To emphasize this is possible only if no transaction data is posted.

Thanks

Hello Murali,

Thanks for the Quick reply.

We did try using the transaction KCH4 and delete the profit centers/profit center groups assigned to it.

However we get the following message for the same:

This function is not allowed in the standard hierarchy

Message no. OH 040

Diagnosis

You are directly processing the standard hierarchy (cost centers, business processes). The following actions are invalid for individual values:

Inserting groups that already contain values

Removing/deleting groups that already contain values

You are processing the profit center standard hierarchy or any other alternative hierarchies that contain parts of the standard hierarchy. The following actions are then invalid for individual values:

Delete

Insert

Reassign (delete and insert)

Removing groups that already contain values

Inserting groups that already contain values

Procedure

Undo the change you wanted to make.

******************************************

Hence we are unable to even remove the profit center groups within the group ABC.

Is there any other way?

Thanks & regards,

Hi,

Can you please check whether the Profit Center group is used in any other Profit Center Group - like an alternative Profit Center group.

Thanks

Hello Murali,

Thanks, We could change the standard hierarchy by deleting the Profit centers and Profit center groups starting from the lowest node.

Thanks a lot for your help.
