• Message number: 345

• Message text: Incorrect cost center in IT1 for person & in period & - &

What causes this issue?

In infotype 1, person &V1& is assigned to a cost center which differs
from your assignment in the organizational structure. This is only
allowed if the integration between Personnel Administration and
Organizational Management is deactivated completely, or at least for
person &V1& in the period &V2& - &V3&. If integration is activated in
this case, there must be an inconsistency.

System Response

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

How to fix this error?

Check whether the position in infotype 1 is also different from the
organizational structure. If the OM-PA integration is activated, the
cost center of the position is automatically transfered from the
organizational structure. If the position is also inconsistent, this
could be the reason for the inconsistent cost center. Another reason
could be that the person is marked in open processes. In that case,
execute the required PA actions in order to eliminate the
inconsistency. If the person is not marked in open processes, correct
the organizational assignment of person &V1& either in infotype 1 or in
the organizational structure in the above mentioned period. You can use
report RHINTE30 or RHINTE00 for this.
