cost center master data

Unchanged in S/4

CSKS is the cost center master data table — stores cost center definition, validity periods, responsible person, profit center assignment, and hierarchy area. In S/4HANA, CSKS is unchanged. Cost centers remain a core CO organizational element. The Fiori app 'Manage Cost Centers' reads from CSKS. Cost center hierarchies (CSKS.KHINR) are still defined in the standard hierarchy maintained via KS01/KS02.

key differences:

•No structural changes in S/4HANA — CSKS is migrated as-is
•Cost center master data maintenance shifts from SAP GUI (KS01) to Fiori apps in S/4, but the underlying CSKS table is unchanged
•CSKS.PRCTR (profit center assignment) drives how cost center costs flow to profit center reporting in ACDOCA
