Difference between profit center in OKB9 and material master

Hello,
I have a small doubt over here in the profit center point of view.
We have created profit center 1200 and assigned the same in material master. Now while doing PO system threws error message like "Account 5005115 requires an assignment to a CO object Message no. KI235". To eliminate this error i have assigned Cost element(1001125) and Profit center(1200) in TC: OKB9, now system is able to post everything fine.
Here the issue " If i can change profit center in the material master say ex: 1201, system picks from the material master only then why assigned in the OKB9? while doing MIRO system updated in the 1201 profit center".
Could anybody update me why we need to assigned profit center in OKB9 and Material Master?
Thanks

Hi,
This is about co.code level field status and Transaction level field status. In OKB9 transaction profit center is maintained and it is getting picked up.
As per SAP if any transaction level field status is maintained it will overwrite the co.code level field status.
So, here when you are giving the input of Profit center in the material master itself it is overwritting the co. code level field of profit center. If nothing is given in material master, then by default OKB9 level profit center will be picked up.
Thanks,
Prithwiraj.

Assignment Profit Center to Plant on material master for Production Order

Hi Experts
Can you help me !
Now I'm trying to lock a profit center to the plant.I've tried searching on the standard menu and customizing but do not get it ?
How to assignment profit center to plant or plant to profit center.
Regards
Dodo M

Hello Dodo,
1.
You can make an assigment between the profit center and the plant in Customizing (SPRO) in two steps (through the company code), under the following menu path:
Step 1:
Enterprise Structure
Assignment
Financial Accounting
Assign Profit Center to Company Code
Step 2:
Enterprise Structure
Assignment
Logistics - General
Assign plant to company code
So, first you assign the profit center to the company code, then you assign the plant to the company code.
2.
Or you can use the Enhancement MGA00001 for implementing your own check in function module EXIT_SAPLMGMU_001.
You can also check the following help to understand the relationships in details:

Difference in Profit Center Document and CO-PA Document

Hi,
We are getting difference in Profit Center Document and CO-PA Document Cancelled Sales Invoice.
Sales Accounts GL:
Profit Center Document amount in Sales Accounts GL: 558095.04
CO-PA amount in Sales Accounts GL: 558095.15
In Sales Invoice, Exchange Rate is maintained as 7.75132
Invoice Amount is 72000 USD. So the Amount calculated should be 558095.04.
In Accounting Document the Amount posted as 558095.15 for the GL Sales Account.
But in Cancelled Sales Invoice, Amount posted is 558095.04 in GL Sales Account.
So Profit Center Document is picking the Amount 558095.04, but CO-PA document is picking wrong amount i.e from Sales Invoice and not from Cancelled Invoice.
Please help me to understand why Co-PA Document is fetching amount from Sales Invoice and not Cancelled Invoice.
Also why there is difference in Sales Order Invoice and Cancelled Sales Oder invoice Amount.

Hi
Yes you can transfer the planning data from COPA to ECPCA. You can do the configuration at
SPRO->Controlling->Profitability Analysys->Planning->Integrated Planning->Set up transfer of planning data to ECPCA/FIGL
Then you can use TCode KE1V to transfer the planning data.

Difference between Cost Center and GL Account

Hi All,
I want to know that "what is the difference between Cost Center and GL Account."
Regards

Hi Vidya,
Few points:
1. GL is a FI object and used for external reporting, whereas cost centers are CO objects and used for internal management reporting.
2. In GL you classify the nature of expenses like telephone expenses, travelling Exp. Salary exp etc., whereas by cost center you decide where are expenses were incurred, like Production department, Mkt. Department, HR department etc.
3. You post the FI transactions at GL level whereas the cost center are assigned to those GL account for getting the more detailed information about the expenses.
4. GL accounts are P&L and BS account and only P&L expenses accounts are posted to cost cneters. And you can choose to post it by cost center or not by defining the GL as cost element. If you do not define any GL as cost element, it will not post to cost centers.
I hope it answers your question.
thanks,
Vivek

pls help with some specific important inform on both   WIP   and semi f

Hello Sanjeev,
The difference between SFG and WIP is that ,
1 ) Valuation Class For SFG starts 7***   but WIP material stock starts with 3***
2 ) Stock / inventory of SFG can be seen at point of time but WIP is an Order item
3 ) We can find the stock of SFG at any point of time say it is having specific storage location But WIP is calculated from
    Order for which items are drawn .
4 ) Example You have to manufacture Product AAA which contains SFG1 , 2 , 3 which is made up of some component items
    once SFG 's made the inventory is updated during GR but the components lying in the shop floor required to complete the order
   so we want to know at any point of time how many these materials are lying and the same was issued against Order
   reservation to finish the balance Order Quantity is called WIP. You have confirmed only say 80 Pcs of FERT out of 100 Pcs
   remaining 20 Pcs needs to be confirmed and is being manufactured in the shop floor and the same is lying as WIP .
Material Consumption to Production Order:

Difference between sales order schedule line and item level data

Hi All,
Could you please let me know what is the difference between sales order schedule line and item level data?
Thanks,
Ramya

Hi Ramya,
Sales order schedule line contains del date, order qty, rounded qty, confirmed qty, delivery qty, schedule line category, purchase requisition etc., ie It contains the full details of sales order data with respect to the scheduled line of delivery. The total quantity of a sales order item can be subdivided into schedule lines that contain the various subsets with the corresponding delivering dates.
Sales order Item level data contains details of the item in the sales order like material code, net price, net value, UoM, PO details, reason for rejection if any, material group,billing date, plant etc., ie this
contains the full details of item irrespective of scheduled line.

Difference between New G/L Segment and Profitability Segment

Dear friends,
Can somebody explain what is the difference between New G/L segment and Profitability segment.
Thanks, Prakash

Hi,
Segment in New G/L is puerly for external reporting purpose.A segment is a sub area of a company for which has separate financial data and which has expenses and losses.For this segment we need virtually complete balance sheet for external reporting purpose.
Profitability segment is for analysis of profit within the organisation.A Profitability segment is a combination of different characteristic for which we want to analyse sales revenue and cost.These characteristic can be any thing for example customer, product, sales organisation etc.
For example We want to analyse what is the total sales of product A for customer group B under the sales organisation XYZ. Here profitability segment = Product+customer group +sales organisation

Difference between Asset Intelligence 09A report and reports in the Software Metering folder

Dear all,
I can not seem to grasp the difference between Asset Intelligence 09x reports and reports in the Software Metering folder. Do they extract conclusions based on the same data and which data are those? I also have come to notice that there are occasional dicrepancies
between them. Why would this be?

Hi,
1. Software metering allows you to create a rule and meter application usage very granular, when it is started, how many times , how long it has been used e.t.c, Asset intellegence doesn't require you to create any rules it will only inventory start/stop
so you can get reports like "all computers that hasn't started a application in x days".
2.It depends on the license agreement for that application, but yes you can get how many has started a specific application within a timeframe.
3.No
