As the processes differ depending on the type of action (create, update, lock, unlock) and the ERP system involved, a separate request must be submitted for each system and each specific operation. 


In SAP PRS 050 go to transaction ZZF_MDWF_REQUEST. Select "Cost center" in category field and "Create" in action field. Populate the title and the system landscape. 




Open the tab  ,  click "append row" button (1) and  create as many rows as cost centers you want to create / update (2). 

Never use the yellow line to enter your request, it is a technical line used for mass changes only.



Fill mandatory fields listed below and press check.


You can use an existing cost center to pre fill the information and replace the existing cost center codes by the ones to be created and adapt the information to your requirement.


When you are dealing with a larger number of entries it might be more efficient to use Excel: 

    • Prepare an Excel document with the list of cost centers you want to process.

    • Copy and Paste it into the request.

    • Press the <check> button. As a result the data are loaded.

    • <Submit> the request when it is completed.

Correct any errors identified by the system, save and submit the request. SAP will generate a ticket number. 

You can only submit a request once you have corrected all errors [red border around the cell]



Return to the transaction ZZF_MDWF_REQUEST, insert the ticket number and press "Take in charge" followed by "Approve". 



In Master Data Tab, click "Check" button followed by "Call transaction - Force call transaction on errors". 



Approve the creation of the cost centers by clicking "Approve" button.

This should be the expected result. The cost centers are created.
