3610127 - The migration object "CO - Cost center (new)" not working as expected

Symptom

During Cost Center migration using the new migration object "CO - Cost center (new)" the cost centers have the fields 'Lock Revenue Posting' and 'Lock Commitment Updates' enabled in the app 'Manage Cost Centers' even though the fields are not marked X in the upload file.

Environment

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Cause

This is done by design.

Lock indicators are set to 'ON' based on cost center category configuration.

Resolution

From technical perspective, it is not possible to distinguish empty value as either "use default" or "turn OFF" in the new migration object, hence for this object only 'ON' ('X') values are registered as extra and empty values mean default usage.

In case there is a requirement to set these fields as not enabled for the cost centers to be migrated, the best practice would be to create a cost center category with all lock indicators set to 'OFF' and then maintain them as required in the migration file.
