Cost center deletion

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 205

Hi All,

Looking for some guidance here, I created a new program and when I set it up, I switched the description and the program number.  I noticed it when I went to add the account numbers to the budget plan.  I removed the line from the budget plan, when I noticed the description in the program number.  Now I am unable to delete the cost center (program)  - it says it exists in the budget, but if I do a search, it's not in there.   See attachments.

I can also confirm the system is not using it. I created it, attempted to enter it on a budget line and noticed that I switched the description and number columns when entering. I did not save my budget plan and removed the line. There is no where in the system that it is currently "in use".

Thanks for the help!

    It means that the cost center is used is a ledger dimension. Note that dimension values and combinations aren't normally deleted - Microsoft even wants to make it impossible.

    You can change the name to something else rather than deleting that. And delete the one that can be deleted.

    I am pretty sure I stated that I am also unable to rename. I get the same error.

    You have the option to Suspend the dimension value which will prevent its use in any transactions.
