Summary :
In English: The SAP Note addresses an error encountered when posting to Controlling (CO) via Financial Accounting (FI) using batch inputs, such as FB01 from HR. The error "Cost center x does not exist" occurs despite the batch input not specifying or defaulting a cost center. This issue arises because the disputed cost center is being automatically derived from the cost element master or through automatic account assignment. The solution involves verifying and adjusting the cost element settings and the automatic account assignment configurations.
