Automatic Posting accounts are posting to Dummy Profit center....

Hi experts....
We are configured New GL
Generally we are creating Customer Invoice (T. Code: VA02) and
Vendor Invoice (T Code. MIRO) for WBS Element only. While posting the
customer/Vendor Invoice System is not checking that CO Object (WBS
Element) in main line item (Sales/GRIR) as well as Automatic Account
assignment setting (T. code: OKB9). System is showing the Error. If
that G/L Account is not a cost element then system is posting to DUMMY
Profit Center in place profit center assign to that WBS Element
Requirement:
We need to post tax and Customer/Vendor line items in document
against WBS Element which should be picked up from Sales/GRIR Line Item
of the same document. If there is no CO Object (WBS Element/Cost
Center) in Sales/GRIR line item in document then based on Automatic
Account assignment configuration (Valuation Area is Mandatory) system
has to post to Cost Center/Profit Center
We are not maintained any derivation rule of PC & Edit Constants for Nonassigned Processes in New gl config. then also system posting to Dummy PC only.
We can delete that dummy?
or any configuration changes needs for it. plz give me ur valuable suggestions
Please Do needful
Thanks

Hi,
You have to maintain Dummy profit center, it is mandatorily for configuring profit center accounting . If u have not maintain Default profit center to that cost element, it will directly flow to Dummy Profit center. Better to maintain default profit center and u cannot delete the Dummy profit center.

Entries are going to dummy profit center in f-32

Hi All,
In F-32 when clearing the invoice with Residual items posting made to Dummy Profit center and fields Customer, Sales Org, Distr. Channel,
Division, Product and Plant are empty.
My requirement is to populate profit center , fields Customer, Sales Org, Distr. Channel,Division, Product and Plant from invoice document.
I could not find correct place to add custom code. I have tried some exit to add logic but still profit center is overwriting by dummy profit center.
Please help me to find BADI/BTE to add logic to update profit center.
Thanks,

Transaction from production order always post into dummy profit center

Dear SAP experts,
I have problem with profit center.
I have material master "A1" and "A1B1". The process is "A1" is raw material for making "A1B1".
The CO team forgot to entry the profit center field in both of material in their material master.
So when there are posting " material consumed " and "good receipt" in production order,PL account "material consumed" (happen when good issue to production order) and PL account "production output" (happen when good receipt from same production order) are mapping to dummy profit center.
This because of the CO team forgot to entry the profit center field in both of material in their material master, so ssystem post to dummy profit center.
So I change both of the material masters and entry the profit center field (so it's not blank).
But when the PP team make new production order and post the same transaction, it still post into dummy profit center (the profit center that I entry in material master is not read by system).
Even when the PP team create new material with the same spesification,entry the profit center field and run the same transaction, the dummy still posted by system.
How to solve this problem?
Kindly help me please.
regards

Hi Anu
After maintaining the PC in the mat master, create a new Prod order w/o copying from the Old Prod Order...
Once you maintain PC in A1B1 - It should update the Prod Order of A1B1 as well

Entries hitting only to the dummy profit center

Hi All,
While doing the PCA configuration I have created the 3 profit centers & 1 dummy profit center and the same is assigned in controlling area settings also but the problem is while posting the entries in any one of these 3 profit centers by default system is picking dummy profit center ABCD by giving message "Profit center was set to ABCD" which is a dummy profit center.
I have assigned the related profit center in cost center master data also.
Looking for the solution.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Ravi,
Thanks for your reply.
In 3KEH,I have assigned the account from 1000000 to 2500200 with default profit center Hyderabad but by default the entries are hitting to dummy profit center ABCD.
In OKB9, i have assigned Gl 4200030 which is a revenue gl in co code and account assignment detail 3 (Profit center is mandatory).
Still the entries are hitting to the dummy profit center.
Thanks

Change dummy profit center to original in New GL Concept

Hello experts
We have implemented New GL Concept in ECC6.0. However, some of the documents posted into various GL accounts had gone to Dummy profit center. Is there any way such that already posted documents with dummy profit center can be assigned corresponding original profit center? As of now due to the common dummy profit center has been assigned to various entries, the plant wise reports are not able to display correct figures because dummy profit center is not apportioned to respective plants.
Similar case is also with Vendor and Customer account balances.
We had already gone trough few notes and one of them (1164356) suggests using a BAdI FAGL_MIGR_SUBST, but its scope / use is somewhat ambiguous. (It suggests some ABAP work in VALIDATE_ITEM method, although this method is not present in its interface.)
Kindly help as early as possible...
Thanks and Regards,
Srinivas

Hi
You are not clear on your post
1) whether you have implemented Document Slitting or not?
2) Mapped Zero Balance account or not and
3) Profit Center and Zero Balance account are checked in document soplitting charactreristiocs or not?
I am posting this reply based on the assumption that you have mapped the above configuration.
If You have assigned Dummy Profit center in FAGL_3KEH, this always overrides the profit center derived, and the system posts with a dummy profit center. Remove the FAGL_3KEH assignment if any so that the system posts to the correct profit Centers.
Now If you have made the configuration as discussed in points 1,2 3 and other document splitting configurations, then removing FAGL_3KEH will force system to look for the profit centers in all the line items and posts only when this is satisfied.
A pre requisite will be "Assign Scenarios and Customer Fields to Ledgers" in FA global Settings(New)> Ledgers>Ledger which should be "Profit Center".
As a concept you may not need assignment of FAGL_3KEH once you have implemented document Splitting.
Hope this clarifies your situation.

Transaction code: 9KE0 - Posting with Dummy profit center

Hi All,
We have an issue with transation 9KE0, While posting any adjustment entries with single line item, system automaticaly creating second line item few times. We were unable to find the reason why it is creating second line for few documents?
Our requirement is that those entries should have only one line item in transaction 9KE0. Most of the cases we were able to post the document with single line item.
We are using almost 100 co.codes for our client.
For ex: if we post one entry in co.code 1000 through transaction 9KE0 with single item, system posting with one lineitem.
But some times for the same co.code with same parameters if we post one line item, second line item automatically creating with dummy profit center while posting.
Please let us know why the system is creating two line items.
Awaiting for your replies.
Thanks in Advance
Prasad

Hi,
We have further analyzed this issue and found that, whenever the amount in field(KSL -Amount in profit center local currency) is ZERO, System it is creating second line item with dummy profit center.
ex:1
proft cenert        account         amount in co.code cur    amount in profit center local currency
9999                    100000             - 0.13                                 00
dummy                 100010               0.13                                 00
ex:2
proft cenert        account         amount in co.code cur    amount in profit center local currency
9999                    100000             - 3.13                                 1
we have verified the values in GLPCA table also... whenever the tech field KSL-Amount in profit center local currency is zero system creating two line items.
Please suggest us is there a solution to stop the second line item even the amount in profit center local currency field (Tech name -KSL) is Zero
Awaiting for your suggestions.
Thanks in advance

Relation Between Dummy Profit Center and Posting Keys.

Hello Gurus,
It will be a valuable feed back for below mentioned Scenario.
One of our client is on SAP Version 4.7 and New GL is not activated. In COCD one Customer Invoice entry is booked as below.
PK     Account           Amount      Profit Center
01     SURXXX1            100.00         ABCD
50     REVENUE A/c      50.00         ABCD
50     ENT TAX               20.00         ABCD
50     SERVICE TAX       30.00         ABCD
After running t codes 1KEK, F.5D, and KE5T for customer line item system picks same profit center as mentioned in other line items i.e ABCD.
But when we reverse the above document system picks DUMMY Profit center instead of ABCD.
PK     Account           Amount      Profit Center
12     SURXXX1            100.00         DUMMY
40     REVENUE A/c      50.00         ABCD
40     ENT TAX               20.00         ABCD
40     SERVICE TAX       30.00         ABCD
Basically we have checked field status variant for Posting Key 01 and 12 in which Profit Center field is Required and field status for profit center for reconciliation account is also required. This is unusual behavior which we are facing right now.

Profit Center :
A profit center is a management-oriented organizational unit used for internal controlling purposes. Dividing your company up into profit centers allows you to analyze areas of responsibility and to delegate responsibility to decentralized units, thus treating them as "companies within the company". EC-PCA lets you set up your profit centers according to product (product lines, divisions), geographical areas (regions, offices or production sites) or function (production, sales).
Profit Center Accounting (PCA) allows you to calculate internal measurements of profitability. This internal view of profitability, then, reflects the success of a given profit center at meeting the profitability goal for which it was given responsibility.
Cost Center :
The cost center is an organizational unit in a controlling area. Cost centers can be defined according to several different design approaches. A typical approach could be for an enterprise to define a cost center for each low-level organizational unit that has responsibility for managing costs. As costs are incurred, they are assigned or posted to the appropriate cost center. These costs could include payroll costs, rent and utility costs, or any other costs assignable to a given cost center.
Each cost center is assigned to a category, e.g. Administration cost center, production cost center, etc. Each cost center master record has a field for the name of the person responsible for the cost center.
For detailed information go thru the below article

Hope this helps.

Is it possible to post docs to Dummy profit center

Hi friends,
Is it possible to post FI docs to dummy profit center.
Posting for customer document.
Customer Dr
Bank Account Cr.
system is not allowing to post document with dummy profit center.
If I post document without any proft center, It is giving Balancing field error, no profit center could be determined.
Regards,
Suresh

Hi
In your posting, there are no profit centre assignment to both accounts. For customer, you cannot assign a profit centre. But for Bank account, you can assign a default profit centre. In new GL, you can assign a profit centre to your GL account per company code:
F.A new ->GL a/c new -> Master data -> Profit centre -> Assign default profit centre to accounts

1KEK posting the reversal documents to dummy profit centre.

Hi expertise,
First let me explain the scenario.
Through FB60, I posted a document as per the below:
Doc date : 23.07.2007, Period: 8, Posting date : 17.08.2007, Doc type : KR.
PK    Account            Profit Centre       Amount
31    14898 - Vendor                            164.20-
40    46200 - Exp        285620              149.27
40    84100 - GST       285620               14.93
I run the 1KEK transaction for period 8 after running F.5D and it posted the vendor balance payable 164.20 to profit centre 285620 correctly.
Then I reversed the above posted entry on 30.08.2007 , period 9 through FB08 with reversal reason 02. The accounting entry are as follows:
PK    Account            Profit Centre       Amount
22    14898 - Vendor                            164.20
50    46200 - Exp        285620              149.27-
50    84100 - GST       285620                14.93-
When I run the 1KEK again for period 9 after running F.5D, the system posted the the vendor balance 164.20 ( debit balance ) to Dummy Profit Centre.
Now my question is why the system posted the vendor balance to dummy profit centre but to the real profit centre 285620.
Waiting for fast solution. Points will be awarded.

BABA

Hi
It seems that New GL is active in your system. Hence the system is populating the DUMMY Profit center. If you have sepearate excise accounts for every plant and every profit center is also a plant, you can define a default profit center to excise accounts for every plant through 3KEH. If the GL account is same for all plants, you can create a suitable Substitution Rule. The T code for the same is GGB1 and assign this to your company code through OBBH.

Prevent documets getting posted to DUMMY profit center for

Hi All,
During posting of accounting documents (for eg: In T-code F-02), we need to prevent documents getting posted to dummy profit-centers when I post documents with cost-centers which are un-assigned to any profit center (T-Code KS02). Instead we need to bring in to the profit-center posted by the user. We have PCA activated.
We have tried to achieve with a substitution along with an user-exit (T-code: GGB1). But the user-exit is getting invoked only after the assignment of Dummy profit-center and is overwriting my profit center. Is this approach right? FYI, the substitution is done at the Financial Accounting/ Line-item level.
Kindly enlighten me with your solutions.
Thanks and Regards,
Gnanasambanthan.V

At my company, we have profit center as a required field on the cost center master - so when posting to a cost center, there is always a profit center.
However, if requiring a profit center on the cost center master is not an option in your case, then I'm wondering if it would work to set up a validation to check that the profit center on a posting is not the dummy.

Shannon

Dummy Profit center issue while posting the transaction in FB60

Dear SAP friends,
We have implemented ECC6.0 version,
I have the below issue:
I am posting the document in FB60 transaction: after simulating the document system is throwing the error "Profit center 9937/FIREPRODMY does not exist for 14.08.2009"
Message no. KM700
Document spilitting active at Business area level..
In 0KE5( maintain controlling area settings) I have not given the Dummy profit center.
Eventhough it is asking for Dummy profit center while posting, Please let me know apart from the 0Ke5 settings do i need to remove the dummy profit center anywhere in the Config.
I have not maintained any settings in FAGL3KEH, 3KEH and OKB9.
No sunstitutions are active in the system.
Please let me know from where i need to remove the dummy profit center.
My client going live on 17th Aug 2009.
Regards,
Anand

Hi,
Check the validity period of the Profit Center 9937/FIREPRODMY. The valid from period should have the date same or earlier than 14.08.2009
If not then change the profit center master data to be valid from an earlier date (Tcode KE52). Steps-
KE52 - Profit Center FIREPRODMY
Click Change Validity Period (Ctrl +F1)
Valid from - put a date earlier or equal to 14.08.2009
Click Activate (Shift + F1)
Thanks,

Dummy profit center posting

We have postings coming up in dummy profit center each month,and we need to remove it, one fix could be to reverse those entries and repost it with assignment of a profit center, but I heard there is some tool available where you can just transfer the balance in one profit center to another, Is it available in Ecc6.0 also , I guess its for classic profit center accounting. Can you suggest me something pelase.how to remove those entries into another without reversing the entries in dummy.We are on ECC6.0 Thanks
Regards
Shaun

Please refer to the FAQ note 1070629.This says.
63. How can I deactivate classic Profit Center Accounting (EC-PCA) after activating the new general ledger?
Note 702854 explains how to deactivate classic Profit Center Accounting.
If you use document splitting for profit centers in ERP2004, delete the dummy profit center from the table TKA01 also. For this purpose, Note 702854 provides the program Z30PCA23. Use the program Z30PCA23 to delete the dummy profit center of classic Profit Center Accounting in the controlling area.
I am not sure if you would continue to need a dummy PC after migrating to ECC6, with classic PCA accounting de-activated.

Entries posting to dummy profit center

Hi
while doing MR21 entries is going to dummy profit center in revaluation gain or loss GL A/C instead of respective profit center of material.
For this weather we need to check / new configuration or new configuration required.
Please help.
Thanks

Dear Amita,
MR21 is only posted on company code level. To derive the profit center from the material master it would be necessary to know the plant but the plant is not available during MR21 posting. The system cannot break down the profit center information knowing only the company code. In that case this is the reason why the dummy profit center is used for price difference postings.
But you can try to use the FI substitution to change the profit center. Based on the information you can create an exit to determine the profit center from the material master.
Another option is the user exit in PCA (Exit_SAPLPCRW_001
- please read the documentation about this function module in the
system). Using this exit it will be possible to make changes in the
PCA postings. This will only change the PCA document and the postings made in FI will not be affected by this exit.
Cheers,
Daniela
