How to manage change of profit center in Material master?

The material master of a number of materials were populated with wrong profit center. Transactions were also posted for a few years. Now we want to change the profit centers for some of the materials. These materials have inventory balances and is set for on line transfer to PCA. If we run 1KEH data is duplicated.
What is the best way to manage this change?

Hi Mr.Sanjay,
Good Morning to you,
Regarding your thread the best and easy way to change the profit center is goto MM02 and give the material code and enter and goto Sales: General/plant and in down you can see the Profit Center XXXXX now you change it to YYYYY and save it. So, from now onwards what ever the postings you do the system will show the values in YYYYY - Profit center.
Hope you can solve your thread & for further clarrification feel free to ask me.
Best Regards,
SAPUK.

  • Changing a profit center on material master

    Dear,
      My user needs to Change the Profit Center on Material, and he sent to me the questions below:
      Could you please help me with these questions ?
      If that inventory is issued off the system, will it allow change?  If there are open orders (purchase, process, sales or transfer) will it allow change?  What are all the things that the logic is looking at?
    Thanks and regards,
    Orlando

    just think about it. do you use profit center accounting?
    As you maintain profit center, I assume the answer is yes.
    do you want accurate profit center accounting?
    if yes, then  never change the profit center while you have stock.
    ..because: you received the stock to profit center A. if you change the PC in material master, then the stock does not move to profit center B. but the next goods issue is recorded with profit center B.
    so at the end of the day, you have an amount at profit center A, which will never get removed. and you have an issue on profit center B for that you do not have a goods receipt.

  • Profit center in material master is not in MARC table

    Hi All,
    We have maintained profit center in Material master costing 1 screen but when I am checking it in MARC table I am not able to see profit center in MARC Table.
    Please tell me in which table this profit center data will sit.
    Thanks in advance.
    Pavan H S

    Hi,
    The field name of profit center in table MARC is MARC-PRCTR, maybe you should increase the width of output list in the selection screen when you use data browser of table; or from menu Settings>List Format>Choose Fields, then select field PRCTR to display, that will be okay!
    Good day

  • Use of profit center in Material master

    Hello Consultants,
    Kindly explain me the use of Profit center in material master in Sales General/Plant and Cisting 1 view?
    Thanks,
    SK

    Hi,
    Generally you use this field of profit center based on the organizational logic decided while implementing the SAP.
    i.e. Suppose, you want to have your profit center with nomenclature as Site (Plant) + Line of Business (LOB). So, according to this logic you map the same line of business with External Merchandise category and concepts (according to your verticals of business). So, whenever you create any transactions related to this article (material), system will pick up profit center from this article master and for common profit center (for expenses such as service tax and other which needs to be done at common and after that distribute through assessment / disrtibution cycle).
    Hope it will clear the purpose of the same from above example. Pls get back for further query.
    Thanks & Regards,

  • Error MM335 when trying to change profit center on material master record

    We are trying to change the profit center that is assigned on the u201CSales: general/plantu201D tab in the material master (same as what shows on the u201CCosting1u201D tab of the material master).
    The following error message appears:  u201CYou want to change the profit center but there are still material stocks u2013 Message no. MM335.u201D
    Our SAP version is SAP ECC 5.0 with support pack 19.
    This particular material that we are trying to change only exists within one plant and one storage location in SAP.
    I have done the following in order to try and resolve this issue:
    1. Removed all inventory from the inventory management and warehouse management side for the material.
    2. Closed all open purchase orders and process orders for the material.
    3. Looked at the MD04 screen to verify there are no outstanding documents for this material.
    I also searched for OSS notes and found note #1249513 which was applied to our sandbox environment.  This note did not fix our problem.
    I had a developer to debug the code that is being triggered upon making a profit center change.  Two important pieces of information he found is that the SAP code is:
    1. Looking to see if the u2018New G/Lu2019 is turned on and u2018profit centeru2019 is active in the new G/L.
    2. Looking to see if previous period stock exists for the material.
    The code is then setting a flag which causes the error message to appear.
    I have found other comments in the forum stating to change the error to a warning for message MM335.  I believe this is not the correct solution; as this would allow a change to a profit center even if stock exists, open orders exist, etc.  I also know we could trick the system by temporarily changing the message to a warning and sending that through to production, changing the material master and following up with a transport to change the message back to an error.  This would work, but we want a final resolution to this problem.
    I believe that 2 OSS notes that were included in our latest support pack upgrade has caused this problem.  Those notes are: 1057674 and 1106510.
    I plan on opening a note with SAP, but was wondering if any users have experienced this same problem after a recent support pack upgrade.
    Regards,
    JH

    Following is additional information regarding this problem.  We were able to successfully change the profit center on some of our materials by making sure there was no stock in previous period and current period (and no open sales orders, purchase orders, etc.).

  • Change in Profit center of Material Document

    Dear SAP
    I have made a outbond delivery with movement 601 and corresponding material document is being created with accounting entries. but here profit center got wrong and when I am changing profit center through SAP Edit (Changed in MSEG,LIKP,BSEG).
    But the the MIGO Display and MB5B report are showing the earlier profit center.
    How and where we can change the profit center so that it gets corrected

    Hello
    As per standards, you can't change account assignment for a document after you have posted the material document. It is advised to reverse the material document and then do the neccessary corrections in the preceeding documents and then post the material document again. So, even though you have changed same may not help.
    If you still want further information, consult FICO consultant on this.
    Thanks & Regards

    Hi
    I think you have written two substitution on one filed
    one is from the WBS element and another is from Material
    So one rule is overwriting now. i think it is taking value from Material but it is overwriting with past value ie from WBS
    Ask you abaper, after WBS rule your new rule should be trigger
    So that new rule will overwrite the old rule
    Advise : Dont keep contra entries like this, keep some if conditions

  • How to make changes to profit center standard hierarchy?

    Hello!
    I have to make changes in standard profit center hierarchy. Should I make the changes in IMG or Sap Easy access -screen? If I make changes in IMG, could you please tell me the right path where can I find it?
    Another question, if some profit center is in the wrong place in stardard hierarchy and I want to transfer it to another place (under other node for example), how is this done? Should I delete this profit center first (I tried delete but it wasn't possible..) or can I just transfer the profit center?
    Thanks!
    Points will be given!=)

    Hi,
    in the IMG you can maintain the profit center standard hierarchy via TA KCH4. The path is:
    -> Controlling
    -> Profit Center Accounting
       -> Master Data
        -> Maintain Standard Hierarchy
    The transport of the profit center standard hierarchy is done via TA 0KEQ,  (this is relevant for both KCH5N and KCH4).
    IMG Path:
    -> Controlling
    -> Profit Center Accounting
      -> Tools
       -> Transport Customizing Settings
    Hope I understood you correctly.
    Regards

  • Changing the profit center for Material impact on inventory turnover

    Dear All,
    Due to recent organization structure change, we have some up with new set of profit center in our organization.
    This means that old profit center as case in point in material master should be changed to new ones, after flushing the stock out. Probably, by moving stock to cost center with movement type 201 and then after the profit center change we reverse with movement type 202.
    We use standard SAP report MC.7 inventory turnover calculation. Based on this inventory turnover, we use this ratio to calculate the inventory obsolescence provisions.
    So, our issue is the above movement profit center change by moving it to cost center, does it impact the inventory turnover?
    Or alternatively, can use some other movement type which does not change the inventory turnover? So, that we are assured from our side, about no change on inventory turnover and subsequent the change to our inventory obsolescence provisions.
    Please help me here.
    Kind Regards,
    Prakash

    Hi Venkat,
    Thanks for the reply. How different this movement type 562 (intial stock upload) is different then 201 (cost center consumption)?
    I mean does it not update the info structure?

  • Change the profit center in the material master

    dear All,
    we need to change the profit center but the system is not letting because the is stock.
    i was thinking if we issue this stock on any cost center, change the profit center and then cancel the issuing material document ...
    what do you think ,,,, would this effect the accounting badly ?? if so,, please recommend other ways

    Hi, The only solution to change the "PROFIT CENTER"  for you will be to maintain message MM335 in OMT4 as a warning, then change the Profit center & again change it to error.
    Are you really thinking this is the right approach?
    ever thought about how the posting are made in the other modules then? We dont live on an MM island, so a solution  has to cover the requirements of the connected modules as well.
    if you had received stock to a material with profit center A, then value is posted to profit center A.
    if you change the profit center  in material master to B while you have stock, the value of earlier receipts will not move from profit center A to B, they stay at A.
    The next goods issue for this material is made against the profit center B.
    this results in having a postive value at profit center A (which will never go away) and having a negative value at profit center B (because you had never received to profit center B what you just issued)
    Because of this you should not change the message settings.

    you cannot issue anything in the prior period if everything is already issued in the current period.
    One should obtain the quantityof previous period in material master accounting view.
    Finally you have to have zero stock in current and previous period before changing profit center.
    How you approach this is based on the fact if the current period stock is bigger or smaller than the previous period stock.
    if current period stock is bigger, then issue previous period stock with previous peiod date, and issue remaining stock in current period.
    if current period stock is smaller than previous period stock, then you have to write on the delta in the current period, and subsequent issue the total stock in the previous period.

    Your approach is right. when we had this issue we solved through created dummy material and issue it to dummy material, change the profit center and receive it back..
    >

    Goods issue to cost center or goods movement 309 to a dummy material will both affect accounting and create accounting documents.
    of course, if everything works well then you will get  accounting documents with opposite value after you have changed the profit center and you write on the quantity again.

    Hi guys,
    in a material master I have the field profit center blank and I want enter a value but the message MM 335 '"You want to change the profit center but material stock still exists"...I have implemented OSS notes for release 6.03 but the message continues to go out..the stock for the Plant in which I want enter Profit center does not exist, is it correct that this message goes out?In your opinion which is the correct way to update material master?I have tried to transfer all stock present in all Plants on which that material is opned with mov type 309 but the message go out again..It is a strange thing , I don' think taht the unique way is to chenge the nature of message from E to W..
    thanks in advance for your attention
    Bye

    Stock may be there still under Plant Stock and  Storage Location stock, in previous period.
    TO make it Zero do the following things
    If previous period stocks exist, you can make a withdrawal posting as follows:
    1. Post the same amount to current period stock (for example, using movement type 561) so that previous period stock and current period stock are identical.
    2. Make a withdrawal posting in the previous period for the stock together with posting date (for example, using movement type 562).
    Hope the steps will help to resolve the problem.
