Cost center and profit center in the same report

I am working on creating a report using report painter/writer. my question is, will it be possible to create a report with cost center group in one column and profit center group in another column and the rows with GL account groups.
I know that GLPCT table dosent have the field KOSTL(cost center) in it. The library I am using is from GLPCT table. But when I checked the characteristics of the library that I am using, it has KOSTL field in it. So I checked that field on and tried to use it in the report. But when I execute the report, an error pops up saying "Characteristic KOSTL cannot be combined with the key figures".
Can someone explain what exactly that error means. and if there is a possible way of using both P.Ctr and C.Ctr in two different colums in the same report.

I am asked to create a report which has information of both profit centers and cost centers. some of the fields on columns are cost centers and others are profit centers. This report is basically a P&L summary report for various divisions.
Infact, when I use one basic key figure for cost center and other for profit center and execute the report, it is working!!!!....Is it ok to use two different key figures on two different columns? i dont understand where it is picking the values from..cos cost centers are not present in GLPCT table.

Change the Accounting document fields cost center and profit center

Dear Experts,
User has posted document with wrong profit center
For that we subjected that he can go to the profit center actual posting T.Code 9ke0 but with that he can only change the Profit center document with that there is no accounting side updating
I have tried with Document Change Rules, Line Item for fields cost center and profit center in that while configuring I did not get any error message,
But in the document I am unable to changing the same fields cost center and profit center
Can any body please guide me to resolve the issue?
Essentially I want to change the Accounting document fields cost center and profit center
Thanks in Advance,
Wiswanath

Hello,
Once the documents are posted in FI module, the system doesn't allow anybody to change the cost objects (cost center, profit center, internal order). The only fields you can change through FB02 transaction are the Line item text (BSEG-SGTXT) and the assignment (BSEG-ZUONR).
If you want to get a change to the cost object to be reflected from FI to CO, you should reverse the FI documents with wrong cost objects and post new documents with correct cost center, profit center.
Hope it helps you.
Cheers,
Daniel.

Cost Center and Profit Center Planning

Hi,
I have one Co issue. Pls Suggest me the wiseful solution.
Cost Center and Profit Center Planning.
For F-2008 Planning data they have updated in the month of Aug, 07 for Profit and Loss Items and they have revised the plan data of some cost elements in the month of oct, 2007 (say 5% Increas). when comparing the cost center report to profit center report, both are not matching. the reason when i see and reconcile the document nos and values in between cost center and profit center reports i found out that there are some documents are missing in the profit center report.
wherever plan data had revised e.g for cost element Salaries they have updated 100000 Planning cost in the month of Aug, 07. In the month of Oct, 07 increased 5% i.e.5000. In cost center line items details i found 2 documents for Rs.100000/- and Rs.5000/- But in Profit Center Line Items i am getting only Rs.5000/- Value Document.
Note. As and when KP06 Plan data has been updated Profit Center line items are generating. It is not necessary to run any programme inorder to transfer Plan Data from cost center to profit center.
Observations From My Side:-
I tried to run the transaction code 1ke0. i have selected the cost object is Cost Center, version and had given Cost Center Parameter in development and quality clients and executed the same.By this time already existing data either deleting/ riversing and creating new documents fully except manually changed data in profit center through 7ke1.
My Question is
1.Upto what extent it will work.
2.will it be possible to transfer data from cost center to profit center only missing documents which are available in cost center, without disturbing of existing data in profit center.
3.suppose if i done this activity, there are some data which was already transferred from other cost objects like internatl orders & wbs elements to Profit Center. will the data get disturbed (deleted/riversed).
Pls suggest me the wiseful way to solve the

Responsible Cost Center and Profit Center in a Maintenance Order

Dears,
I would like to know what's the real influence that responsible cost center and profit center located in the
"add. data" tab in maintenance order has when I confirm a labor (through the IW41) and settlement an maintenance order.
Best Regards,
D. Quint.

D Quintal,
When you perform a confirmation (IW41) the cost centre assigned to the work centre is credited, and the order debited.
This work centre cost centre may be the same cost centre as the responsible cost centre in the order...

Cost center and profit center details

Hi All
Is there any function module or BAPI to obtain cost center and profit center details
for a GL account. Actually I am obtaining the carry forward balance for a
fiscal year from the table GLT0 but I am not getting the corresponding profit center
and cost center details.
Please suggest a way forward!
Regards
Ankit

Hi,
If you are getting data from GLT0 table, using the Account number go to SKA1/SKB1 tables and get the CostCenter(KOSTL) and Profit Center(PRCTR). If you want to get details about CostCenter, its master table is CSKS and master table for Profit Center is CEPC. you can get required info from these tables.
thanks,

Cost Center, Work Center and Profit Center

Hi ALL,
Can any one please explain me the concept of Cost Center, Work Center and Profit Center.
And where and when do I assign the cost center???
Amit

Hi Check the following "
Cost centers represent areas of responsibility where costs are incurred or where responsibility for costs may be assigned. They represent the smallest unit of responsibility within the organizational structure of an enterprise.
A cost center can be pictured as a cost bucket such as a department, product line, production stage or geographical area.
An unlimited number of cost centers may be created.
All cost centers within on controlling area have to be assigned to a cost center hierarchy (standard hierarchy).
Costs originally posted to one cost center may be distributed and assessed to one or more other cost centers using allocations.
How are costs assigned/posted to a cost center?
External financial accounting documents created in FI, AM or MM that post to a G/L expense account can be configured to require a cost center assignment be entered at the time of transaction entry. The system automatically creates a parallel CO document that posts to the indicated cost center.
Cost elements master records can be configured to be posted to a certain cost center (automatic account assignment).
In addition, other non-financial activity (i.e., direct labor hours) may be posted directly to cost centers from within CO or via other modules such as PP or HR

Transporting Master data - New GLs,Cost Center and profit Center.

Dear Friends,
1. I have to create new GLs in Dev, Now i have to transport the new GL to Quality and Production. As per my knowledge, Master data has to created in DEV,Quality and Production.
please suggest, is there any t.code where i can transport GL from Dev to quality and production.
2. when Creation of the site, New Cost center,Profit center, Changes to standard hierarchy both in cost center and profit center hierarchy has to done in dev,quality and production manually.
Any suggestions where i can do only in dev and transport to quality and production.
3. After creating new cost center and profit center, i have to go to okb9, select the co.code,cost element and insert the new cost center and profit center in every cost element. This takes almost one hour.
Please suggest how to reduce this manually process.
All the help will be greatly appreciated.
Regards
Sridhar Reddy

Hi ,
Master data is to be created in diffrent clients as it is a non transportable object .
So in case of GL , cost centers you will have to again re run the LSMW which you had created for DEV .
Secondly OKB9 is a transportable object , so i dont feel there should be an issue in adding it to a transportable object .
In case of adding the values of tables in a request what you can do is create a request , go to SE01 open the request in change mode in the objects enter TABU and enter on the relevant entries that you want to transport .
But again one has to be very clear on what all table entries are to be transported , like SKA1 , SKB1 , SKAT etc. looking at the complexities and moving ahead with the standard way it is advisable to re run the LSMW in QUA and PRD .
Hope this helps .

Difference between Cost center and profit center

I need to know what the difference is between a cost center and a profit center eg. A work center has both a cost center and a profit center. What do they collect for that particular work center.
Thanks

hi tefo
differenc is whatever the cost involved will be collected both to the cost center and profit center, when we settle the order it will be settled in the cost element for cost center. the cost will be reflected in profit center which is assinged to the particular cost center.in profit center you can cpature revenue also which is used to map the profit loss for the concern, where as cost center will only capture the expenses

Cost Center and Profit Center in NewGL

Dear all,
We defined new customer fileld in the NewGL for spliting the document number. Everything works fine! We have only one problem.
Afer posting a new document we see the cost center and Profit center in the classic GL. When we change to NewGL is this fields empty. Is there any customizing to do here?
Thank you!

Thank you very much for the information. I allready had inserts this fields. Problem here is
we have a new customer field in NewGL ZZPMS. This field is not availible in table FAGL_FIELD_MOVE. Therefore I get a dump in RGIMOVV0.
Now my question: This customizing is only to assign a costomer field ZZPMS to a profit center or a cost center, ect. . This mean, I will get in the NewGL the value of my ZZPMS in the profit center and cost center incase of the original values. Is this right?
Thank you

Cost Center and Profit Center in Sales Order and Deliveries.

What are the different methods of determining cost centers and Profit centers in Sales orders ?
Can Cost Center be determined independently in sales order or will be detrmined from Profit center ?

Hi Sunil
Profit Centres are used primarily in S&D (at billing stage it is transferred to FI) for registering revenue.
Billing -
Integration Points Module
Debit A/R - FI/ CO
Credit Revenue - FI/ CO
Updates G/ L - FI/ CO
(Tax, discounts, surcharges, etc.)
Return Delivery & Credit Memo -
Integration Points Module
Increases Inventory - MM
Updates G/ L - FI
Credit Memo - FI
Adjustment to A/R - FI
Reduces Revenue - FI
Profit Centers can be set-up to identify product lines, divisions, geographical regions, offices, production sites or by functions. Profit Centers are used for Internal Control purposes enabling management the ability to review areas of responsibility within their organization.
The difference between a Cost Center and a Profit Center is that the Cost Center represents individual costs incurred during a given period and Profit Centers contain the balances of costs and revenues.
