The master data objects are dependent on controlling area and/or the chart of accounts.

You can transport the following system settings for master data:

Master data 1

  • Cost elements
    • Cost elements (master data)
    • Chart of accounts data
    • Cost element attributes
    • Characteristic mix
    • Default settings for cost elements
    • Time-dependent fields
    • Cost element groups
  • Cost centers
    • Cost centers (master data)
    • Standard hierarchy
    • Cost center categories
    • Cost center groups
    • Time-dependent fields
    • Cost center/activity type

Master data 2

  • Activity types
    • Activity types (master data)
    • Time-dependent fields
    • Activity type groups
  • Statistical key figures
    • Statistical key figures (master data)
    • Statistical key figure groups
  • Orders
    • Order groups

The SAP system places the selected object in a correction request.

You can transfer the data to the target system using the functions available under transport.

Note

  • Master data (cost elements, cost centers, activity types, statistical key figures, orders) is transported in two steps:
    1. The system deletes the master data that already exists in the target system in the same controlling area or in the same chart of accounts.
    2. The system imports the master data contained in the correction.

      3. Caution
      If, prior to the transport, you have already created master data in the target system (whether manually or through a different transport), this data is lost when the transport takes place.

      Since in the target system the master data but not the transaction data is deleted, transporting data into a system that already contains data can lead to inconsistencies. You should therefore maintain the master data in the target system manually.
      Example
  • If you work with several controlling areas that use the same chart of accounts, and you want to transport cost elements, proceed as follows:
    • Maintain the cost elements in all controlling areas with this chart of accounts.
    • Always transport the following settings together:
      • -The chart of accounts-dependent part of cost elements
      -The controlling area-dependent part of cost elements for
      all controlling areas with this chart of accounts
  • There is no standard transport function for cost centers.
  • Transporting cost centers includes both real actual and temporarily saved cost centers.

Recommendations

Always transport the following objects together to prevent

  • Cost element characteristics and characteristic mix
  • Cost center standard hierachy and cost center master data
  • Cost center types and cost center master data

Activities

  1. Determine which data you want to transport.
  2. Choose the corresponding controlling area and/or chart of accounts.
  3. Use Include in order to insert data in a correction order, or remove data with Delete from order.

    Note

    Removal from the correction order is possible only if the correction order has not been released to a transport job.

  4. If you transport cost element default settings, you must create and run a batch input session after the import to the target system in order to save the cost elements.

    Ensure that the G/L accounts in FI are saved for the chart of accounts in the target system.
