Prerequisites

You cannot change the Controlling level if there are procurement alternatives or procurement processes for that Controlling level that are already being used. A locked padlock symbol indicates that a Controlling level cannot be changed. If you want to change the Controlling level, note the restrictions in the following cases:

  • A product cost collector already exists for the Controlling level. In this case, you can only change the Controlling level after the product cost collector in question has been deleted.

    See also: Reorganization of Product Cost Collectors

  • Production processes that are assigned to a cost object hierarchy already exist for the Controlling level. In this case, you can only change the Controlling level if the production process has been removed from the cost object hierarchy.

  • Procurement alternatives that are used in a mixing strategy already exist for the Controlling level. In this case you can only change the Controlling level if you remove the procurement alternatives for the mixing strategies displayed.
