From 7 to 8 digits Cost/Profit Center is it Possible?

[Former Member]

Hi!

Currently we are running on SAP R3 ECC 5 this has been established in our company for 7 years.

We just had a meeting with the management that they are planning to add Key Account Managers per branch and the implementation would be 2013. Obviously, i'll create additional cost/profit center for those.

Cost and profit center codes were configured 7 digits  they like to add additional 1 digit for better monitoring of sales, cost, expenses etc.

Q1. Is it possible to re code from 7 to 8 digit cost/profit center?

Q2. If possible, how can we integrate the historical data of 7 digits to 8 digits cost/profit?

Please help me.

Open for any suggestions, valuable inputs will be much appreciated.

Thank you,

Richard Galicia

Hi

You cant just rename the Cost centers/Profit centers... You will have to create them afresh

you will have to lot of data conversion i.e.

1. Creating new CC and PC

2. Updating the Work centers and Routings

3. Changing the PC in Mat Masters, in 0KEL substitutions, if applicable

4. Changing the CC in asset masters,

5. Changing the CC and PC in OKB9, FAGL(3KEI/3KEH), etc

6. Any FI or CO Subst or validations, where in you have used CC/PC

7. Maintain act price for new cost centers

The list can go on and on depending on your system design.,.. But the above should be able to give you a starting point

Thanks Ajay for responding and run through. I already tested my Q1 in our QAS and it's possible. My problem now is the integration of previous years data to new set of profit/cost center codes. Can you give me an idea?
