  Cause:
  
  Cost Center Assignment: The cost center you are trying to use is assigned to a different controlling area than the one you are currently working in.

  Go to the transaction code KS03 (Display Cost Center) and enter the cost center number to check its controlling area.
  Verify that the controlling area assigned to the cost center matches the controlling area you are currently using in your transaction.

  Create/Modify Cost Center:

  Consult Configuration:
  
  If you suspect a configuration issue, consult with your SAP configuration team to ensure that the cost center and controlling area assignments are set up correctly in the system.
