Deactivate Cost Center
I can find a T.code to Activate an Inactive Cost Centre but how do I deactivate a Cost Centre?
- You can Lock cost centers in the Control tab. Select the radio button for what you want to lockout. No transactions can occur then.
- T.code OKC4 is used to delete a cost center if you have not transaction data or T.code KS04 is used if you have not dependent records.
Go to T.code KS02- Change Cost Center: Initial Screen appears to type the name of the Controlling Area and Cost Centre.

Press tick on the checkbox for the desired transaction activity you want to lock. Any postings made against the cost center under locked activity/lies will not be allowed.
The cost center already exists but you cannot do anything with it.
