How To Fix KM408 - No profit center groups exist for the transport

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: KM - Error messages for Profit Center Accounting

• Message number: 408

• Message text: No profit center groups exist for the transport

What causes this issue?

No profit center groups have been created whose top node is not the same
as that of the standard hierarchy.
For each group found, the system finds the highest node. This node is
then added to the request. In order to protect the standard hierarchy
from an unintended transport, no group is transported if the highest
node is the standard hierarchy itself.

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

If you have defined profit center groups which contain parts of the
standard hierarchy but are not themselves part of the standard
hierarchy, these nodes are selected and placed in the request.

System Response

The system found no such profit center groups.

How to fix this error?

If you have made changes, transport the standard hierarchy.
