How to define Standard Hierarchy in SAP?

/1 Comment/in , , , /by

You can create or change cost centers either using the relevant menu entry or directly in the standard hierarchy maintenance function.

Cost Centers that are created or changed from within the standard hierarchy have the status ‘Inactive’, that is, they are not handled as account assignment objects in Management Accounting. The assignments can only be checked and the cost center released once the cost center is ‘Active’.

If you want to assign a cost center to another hierarchy level, you can do this in the standard hierarchy maintenance by a simple reassignment of the cost center. In other words, you do not need to make changes to your cost center master data.

How to define Standard Hierarchy in SAP?

You can change assignments of the organizational units, company code, business area, or profit center during the course of a fiscal year only if the following conditions hold:

  • The currency of the new company code is the same as the currency of the old company code.
  • You have only posted planning data in the fiscal year
  • The cost center is not assigned to a fixed asset, work center or HR master record.
