Create Cost Center

Module: CO · Controlling
What the badges mean
S/4HANA status: Active
Active and unchanged in S/4HANA.
S/4HANA status: Deprecated
Still readable today, but no longer SAP's strategic path — plan around it.
S/4HANA status: Replaced
Replaced by a new persistence in S/4HANA; the classic name may still answer reads (see read mechanism).
S/4HANA status: Migrating to IBP
Planning scope is moving from APO toward IBP.
S/4HANA status: Active (StRM) · Replaced (EWM)
Path-dependent: active with SAP Stock Room Management, replaced where EWM is the warehouse path.
S/4HANA status: Replaced · Compat View
Compatibility view: the classic table name is redirected to a view over the new persistence — see how the physical model moved.
S/4HANA status: Active · Proxy View
Proxy view: reads route through NSDM proxy/CDS views — see how the physical model moved.
master
Data class: what the table holds — master data, transaction documents, org structure, config, or texts (one row per language — see the quirks guide).
In field listings, K marks a primary-key field, and linked type codes in the Type column jump to the matching quirks-guide section.

Query parameters

6 parameters not filled: <catalog>, <schema>, <MANDT>, <KOKRS>, <KOSTL>, <AS_OF_DATE>

-- ============================================================
-- T-Code : KS01 Create Cost Center
-- Purpose: Create cost center with validity period and hierarchy assignment
-- Grain  : One row per cost center / validity period
-- Tables : CSKS, CSKT, T001, TKA01
-- Notes  : CSKS is the cost-center master; CSKT carries the description per language and validity period. Filter DATBI + DATAB on both if you want only currently-valid rows. CSKS has no deletion-flag field — a cost center's validity is date-based (DATAB/DATBI), so 'deletion' is expressed as an expired validity period, not a flag.
