• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message GA075 - Cost centers are not active in & ?

  The SAP error message GA075, which states "Cost centers are not active in &," typically occurs when you attempt to post a transaction to a cost center that is not currently active in the specified period or fiscal year. This can happen for various reasons, such as the cost center being closed for the period, not being created properly, or being set to inactive.
  Causes:
  
  Inactive Cost Center: The cost center may not be active for the period in which you are trying to post the transaction.
  Period Closure: The posting period may be closed for the cost center, preventing any transactions from being recorded.
