Delete cost center.
Cause
There is no functionality available to set a cost center to inactive.
Resolution
If you do not want to allow postings on a cost center anymore you can lock the cost center for postings by selecting the "block primary cost posting" and "block secondary cost posting" buttons in the cost center master.
