Restricting a Cost Center

[Former Member]

Dear FI Experts,

I want to restrict a cost center from being use to post to a specifc G/L account, anyone can guide me how to accomplish this exceirse? I will truly appreciate, We have user posting entries using a cost center they are not supposed to.

Your help will be greatly appreciated.

Thank You for your help

To achieve this, you will need to setup a validation rule with an error or warning message. This is done in T Code : OB28. The validation rule will need to be setup at the line item level.

Hi

The t code for creating a validation rule is GGB0. There you need to give a prerequisite as GL=XXXXX. You need to give a check, if Cost Center does not equla to 123456 is False. If this check fails, system would give you an error message.

Hi,

Go to OKC7, create a validation and assign it to controlling area. Create one step in validation defining the prerequisites (G/Ls) and checking that the cost centre is not the one, you want to avoid the posting to.

Hi Frank,

Everything is same, OB28 relates to FI..

GGB1 is overall and

OKC7 is at Controlling level

Use GGB1..
