Usually the name & description of a cost center is free but in some cases there can be special needs listed below
Regarding the name and description is important that, whenever the language of the country where we are creating the cost center is different from English, we add a description in the local language. There are several users that are using SAP in their local languages and not English.
Note: The countries that have a non EN language are properly customized when using the PRS workflow for the cost center creation/update. If there's any specific situation where it has been identified that the PRS workflow can not be used, the non EN languages have to be manually entered by entering in SAP in the required non EN language and update the name and description though KS02 - Update a Cost Center accordingly.
