Loading Cost Center Hierarchy

This document discusses loading cost center hierarchies into SAP using BAPI and LSMW. It describes defining a file structure with header and line records to create cost center hierarchies per controlling area. Sample data and fields to populate for the BAPI method are provided. Post-load validation can be done using transaction KSH3.

Loading Cost Center Hierarchy (CCH) into SAP using BAPI & LSMW

Definition groups of cost centers in a tree structure within a controlling area that represent specific areas of cost incurrence from a Controlling perspective.

A cost center hierarchy comprises all cost centers for a given period and therefore represents the whole enterprise. This hierarchy is known as the standard hierarchy.

Cost Center hierarchies are typically defined before creating cost centers.

Usually considered as configuration objects, high volume and complexity in nesting may call for automated load methods. Heres one way of automating creation (load) of CCH into SAP.

Define Input/Load File Structure

Since CCH is defined at CO. Area level, a header line is used to create CCH per Co. Area. This way, the same process/files can be reused for loading standard and alternate hierarchies under same/different controlling areas.
