    Error Message

    WRMA_FI161: Reorganization plan active for profit centers


    Cause

    This error occurs when you attempt to perform certain activities (such as posting, changing master data, or executing transactions related to profit centers) while a reorganization plan for profit centers is currently active in the system.

    In SAP, a reorganization plan is used to restructure profit centers (e.g., merging, splitting, or changing assignments). When such a plan is active, the system restricts certain operations to ensure data consistency and integrity during the reorganization process.


    Explanation

    • The system maintains a reorganization plan to manage changes in profit center structures.
    • While this plan is active (not yet completed or deleted), the system blocks transactions that could conflict with the ongoing reorganization.
    • This prevents inconsistencies in financial reporting and master data.

    Solution

    To resolve this error, you need to complete or delete the active reorganization plan for profit centers.

    Steps:

    1. Check for active reorganization plans:

      • Use transaction code KE52 (Change Reorganization Plan) or KE53 (Display Reorganization Plan).
      • Alternatively, use KE5Z (Reorganization Plan Overview).
    2. Complete or delete the plan:

      • If the reorganization plan is no longer needed, delete it.
      • If the reorganization is still required, complete the plan by executing the necessary steps (e.g., transfer data, activate changes).
    3. After completion or deletion:

      • Retry the original transaction or process that triggered the error.

    Additional Information

    • Transaction Codes:

      • KE52 – Change Reorganization Plan
      • KE53 – Display Reorganization Plan
      • KE5Z – Reorganization Plan Overview
      • KE54 – Execute Reorganization Plan
    • Notes:

      • Always ensure that the reorganization plan is properly completed to avoid inconsistencies.
      • Consult your controlling or finance team before deleting or modifying reorganization plans.
      • If unsure about the impact, perform these actions in a test environment first.
