Hi,

Check you setting in OX19.

Here you can remove the company code from the controlling area.

Or you can assign the company code to the controlling area.

Just check your setting over here and let us know.

Hi,

Go to OX06 and check whether controlling area 8888 exist or not.

If you will see the controlling area 8888 then delete that entry.

Dear Phani,

Delting Cost center is not an easy task, it may impect the other areas also. It require analysis from the FI perspective and thus the involvement of FI consultant is must. anyways for the error which you are getting, you can check

KAH2 - Change Cost Element Group --> by using this t-code you can select the nodes related to Cost center and can delete that first.

KSH2 - Change Cost Center Group--> By using this t-code you can select the cost center group node and delete.

I will again recommened take the help of FI for further analysis,

Thanks,

Raja
