2. Because you have created your cost centers within the standard hierarchy, they have the status “Inactive”, that is, they are not yet recognized as an account assignment object and can be deleted from the system without problems. Activate your cost centers.
3. To keep data input to a minimum, create the cost center “Motor Pool”
by copying the cost center “IT Services” and use the cost center “ FI/CO Consulting” to create the cost center “LO Consulting” . Even though you can do this directly in the standard hierarchy, try using the menu entries in the application menu.
Remember to change the name of the cost center and the person responsible each time.
