Hi

For PR - use ME_PROCESS_REQ_CUST

For PO - The badi is already given above

Ask your ABAPer to code the same

Hi, you can build own logic for validation via badi ME_PROCESS_PO_CUST

Hi Rossi,

If the cost centers are obselete, please go and lock the postings in the control tab of the cost center (KS02). By default system will issue a warning message if u use this in a purchase order. Now u can change this to a error message in message controls. This way u can disallow the usage of this cost centers in purchase order.

Hi Rossi,

What is the Idea behind using the Cost Center in PR or PO, elaborate your requirement so that will help me to answer for you to achieve it.

Hi Rossi,

You can achieve this by using validation with the combination of Cost centers and PO doc type.

Hope this help in resolve your issue.

Hi,

a PO doesn't create a co document, so a validation rule is not useful.

Hi

Thats wrong conclusion... Use the BADI I mentioned above.. It will work.. I have myself used it in the past and it worked

Code the badi such that it gives an error msg when Cost center = X

Hi Rossi ,

Please go to the Cost Center Master Data -> Control tab -> Block all the indicators..

You will not be able to use these Cost Centers in Future..
