• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message OM059 - & & was/were deactivated for all & ?

  The SAP error message OM059 typically indicates that a certain configuration or object (like a cost center, internal order, or other master data) has been deactivated in the system. This can happen for various reasons, such as changes in organizational structure, data maintenance, or system updates.
  Cause:
  
  Deactivation of Objects: The specific object (e.g., cost center, internal order) has been deactivated in the system, which means it can no longer be used for transactions.
  Master Data Changes: Changes in the master data settings or organizational units can lead to deactivation.
  Period Closure: If the period is closed for financial transactions, certain objects may be deactivated to prevent further postings.
  Configuration Changes: Changes in configuration settings related to controlling or financial accounting can also lead to deactivation.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Object Status: Verify the status of the object in question. You can do this by navigating to the relevant transaction (e.g., transaction code KS03 for cost centers) and checking if the object is marked as active or inactive.
  Reactivate the Object: If the object is deactivated and you need to use it, you may need to reactivate it. This can typically be done in the same transaction where you checked the status.
  Review Configuration: If the deactivation is due to configuration changes, review the configuration settings in the relevant modules (e.g., Controlling, Financial Accounting) to ensure they are set up correctly.
  Consult with Functional Team: If you are unsure about the implications of reactivating an object or if it involves complex configurations, consult with your SAP functional team or a consultant who specializes in the relevant area.
  Check for Period Closing: If the error is related to period closing, ensure that the period is open for the transactions you are trying to perform.
