Mass Change to Cost Center

At the beginning of each FY and after a reorg, we are required to change our Cost Centers and depreciation Cost Centers. ?Currently there is no process in DPAS to easily do this. You have to do a mass update, and that creates accounting transactions that are incorrect. The depreciation cost center is only valid from the date of the change forward. It is not like you are updating because you made a mistake and need to back out the entire amount of depreciation and post it to the correct Cost Center. ?The update process is tedious and we have to tell our accounting interface partners to reject all of the update transactions. ?We shouldn't have to do that. Recommended solution:?Recommend the mass change to Cost Center that used to exist before DPAS web be added to the web version of DPAS. The only thing you are changing is the code that is on the cost center record; for example AB is now BB everywhere. ?You should be able to update the cost center record and change AB to BB.
