PCA, CO-PA Reconcilation

Hi
Can somebody help me out how we can do the PCA/CO-PA reconciliation, what it means and is there any reports we have on PCA and CO-PA side and how we can approach if there is any difference in both.
Thank you

Hi,
Please go to KEAT. you may opt for FI Value or PCA Value or both.

  • Reconcilation Accounts are not updating in KE80 PCA-Report

    Hi,
    i have executed all balance carry forward to PCA transactions,Still the reconcilation accounts balances are not updating in the KE80-PCA report.I have maintained all reconcilation accounts in 3KEH transaction.Is this the reason,to not update the reconcilation balances in the PCA report?
    Kindly advice me
    Thanks
    Supriya

    Hello,
    There is no need to maintain the reconciliation accounts in 3KEH.
    You only need to maintain the additional balance sheet accounts in 3KEH.
    If you further interested to determine on various level, you can write the PCA determination in 3KEI
    Please remove reconciliation accounts from 3KEH.
    Execute F.5D (Balance Sheet Adjustment)
    Execure 1KEH, 1KEK, 1KEI and 1KEJ reports. (Make sure that you have removed test runs)
    Useful transaction code is KE5T, where you can see the difference between FI and PCA

  • 1KEK and 1KEI Difference between FI and PCA KE5U

    Hello All,
    We have a difference between our FI and PCA and that is shown when we run the Transaction KE5U.
    we have a calendar year with 4 special periods as our fiscal year and 12 2010 was the last normal period
    The business made some postings in period 13 during their year end close.
    These postings in periof 13 2010 are not shown in PCA.
    I have tried the following
    Ran 1KEK and 1KEI for period 13 => System response: You cannot run these transactions for special periods
    Ran 1KEK and 1KEI for Period 12 => The difference still exist.
    I dont think we can open period 12 2010 again as the fiscal year 2010 is closed.
    Is there a different way to run these transactions and reconcile the balance?
    Please advice
    Subhani

    We figured it out.
    we had to perform the following steps in sequence to resolve the issue
    1KEK and 1KEH should be run periodically, every time we run the previous month we have to run it for all the proceesing months
    1. Ran 1KEH and 1KEK for Dec 2010 => this will transfer all the postings made in the special periods of 2010
    2. PCA balance carry forward 2KES
    3. 1KEH and 1KEK for Jan 2011 and Feb 2011 in sequence.
    Thanks

  • Determining which PCA to use between new-GL and classic EC-PCA

    I tried to use 1kek to transfer AR and AP from FI to PCA but failed with message saying "Document Splitting is Activated".
    We are considering using PCA to make B/S and P/L of several business unit in a company. We are using SAP 6.0. After looking for the references, I understood that I can use new-GL or EC-PCA(classic PCA) for Profit Center Accounting. I wonder which way is the best and easiest one to achieve my company's object.
    As I understood if I activate document splitting, it means I use new-GL for PCA, and I should use table FAGLFLEXA of FI instead of GLPCA of EC-PCA.
    I'd like to use new-GL because it's "new" and convenient, hopefully. But I found several problems using new-GL to make financial reports.
    The first problem was that I couldn't make allocation with accounts which cannot be manually input like AA accounts(Building, Machine, etc.), AR/AP or materials. When I operate transaction FAGLGA35, no effect occurs on those accounts.
    And the second problem is that I couldn't find a way to make a report which has accounts list on its first column and profit center list on its first row. It's surely because I'm a newbie in SAP
    I think everybody trying to use new_GL encounter this problem and it's wired because I couldn't find any thread about this.
    And If I decide to use EC-PCA and make allocation on GLPCA, I think I should make some CBO to transfer AR/AP to EC-PCA. Is there any other possible solution?
    I have a lot of things to ask but I'm not even sure what I know and don't.
    Thanks for you guru's great help.

    The following notes will help you in understanding the set up of PCA in New GL with Classic PCA (EC-PCA):  <b>OSS Norte no 826357</b>
    You want to know
    For release SAP ERP, the Profit Center Accounting was integrated into the new G/L accounting. The solution is as follows:
    SAP delivers the 'Profit Center' and the 'Partner Profit Center' as fixed characteristics that are posted on the original FI postings. The data is not updated in another ledger as in the classic Profit Center Accounting.
    As a result of integration of the Profit Center Accounting into the new G/L accounting, new functions such as 'Document Splitting' are available. Using the function 'Document Splitting' (online document split), you can create balance sheets for company codes as well as for other entities such as the profit center. The balance is then set to 0 for each document for the profit center.
    Integrating the G/L accounting and the Profit Center Accounting into the one application also removes the time and effort needed to reconcile G/L accounting and PCA.
    When implementing the new G/L accounting in Release SAP ERP, we recommend that all new customers map the Profit Center within the new G/L accounting by activating the scenario FIN_PCA (profit center update). It is not advisable to activate the classic Profit Center Accounting in parallel and consequently update parallel data volumes.
    Detailed information about setting Profit Center Accounting in the New General Ledger:
    Define the update of the characteristics 'Profit Center' and 'Partner Profit Center' in the ledger by selecting the scenario 'Profit center update' (Customizing: Financial Accounting (New) -> Financial Accounting Basic Settings (New) -> Ledgers -> Ledger -> Assign Scenarios and Customer-Defined Fields to Ledgers).
    If you want to use the document splitting, you can define the field 'Profit center' as a splitting characteristic in the document splitting (Customizing: Financial Accounting (New) -> General Ledger Accounting (New) -> Business Transactions -> Document Splitting -> Define Document Splitting Characteristics for General Ledger Accounting). Set the 'Zero balance' indicator again for the added field 'Profit Center'. You can now create balance sheets on the profit center. You must also activate the Mandatory Field check to ensure that the profit center is set in all postings. If you want to display balance sheet items at profit center level (for example, receivables and payables) but you do not require complete balance sheets, we recommend that you do not set the indicator 'Zero balance' and 'Mandatory Field check'.
    If you already used classic Profit Center Accounting as an SAP R/3 customer but you now want to use Profit Center Accounting in the new general ledger, you can continue to use classic Profit Center Accounting in parallel to the profit center update scenario in the new G/L accounting in the interim. However, we do not recommend you do this on a long-term basis due to the increased data volume and the increased time and effort required.
    However, if the classic Profit Center Accounting continues to play a leading role for you, we recommend that you do not activate the document splitting in the new G/L accounting, and not for other entities such as the segment either. This is because the classic Profit Center Accounting uses certain functions of the classic general ledger that are no longer available with active document splitting (for example, transaction F.5D, Calculate Balance Sheet Adjustment).
    See the following information for details about the differences between the function of PCA in new G/L accounting and in classic PCA and for details about the effects of new G/L accounting on the posting behavior in classic PCA. Even if mapped into new G/L accounting, PCA always occurs within a controlling area. SAP does not support cross-controlling area PCA. The derivation of profit center and partner profit center with the different business processes when you use the new G/L Accounting is identical to the classic Profit Center Accounting. Details about the differences are available in the following.
    1. Set the proposal profit center for additional balance sheet and P&L accounts.
    Release SAP ERP 2004:
               Profit center scenario in the new G/L accounting is active, classic Profit Center Accounting is not active: If you have to set a profit center on balance sheet and P&L accounts, make entries manually, use FI substitution or implement the BADI AC_DOCUMENT. Note that the system calls the BADI AC_DOCUMENT only for postings using the accounting interface (for example, MM and SD postings), but it is not called for FI postings.
               Profit center scenario in new G/L accounting and classic PCA is active: Transactions 3KEH and 3KEI are available in the classic Profit Center Accounting for maintaining a proposal profit center for balance sheet accounts and P&L accounts. Transactions 3KEH and 3KEI also exist in SAP ERP2004 and function in the same way as in R/3: In other words, you can use the settings in transaction 3KEH to control the update in classic Profit Center Accounting, and the transactions set a proposal profit center where necessary. Keep in mind that the profit center information is therefore affected in new G/L accounting by settings in classic Profit Center Accounting.
    Release SAP ERP 2005:
               Transactions 3KEH and 3KEI (from classic Profit Center Accounting) for maintaining proposal profit centers for balance sheet and P&L accounts are no longer used to set the profit center.
               Profit center scenario in the new G/L accounting is active, classic Profit Center Accounting is not active: If you have to set a profit center on balance sheet and P&L accounts, make entries manually, use FI substitution or implement the BADI AC_DOCUMENT. Note that the system calls the BADI AC_DOCUMENT only for postings using the accounting interface (for example, MM and SD postings), but it is not called for FI postings. In addition, the new transaction FAGL3KEH and the BAdI FAGL_3KEH_DEFPRCTR are available for maintaining proposal profit centers. You can use these new functions to determine a proposal profit center depending on the company code and the account. Note that this proposal profit center does not appear on the input screen; it is derived only when you post the document. The proposal profit center is used if the line item does not contain a CO account assignment and if the profit center was not already determined elsewhere.
               Profit center scenario in new G/L accounting and classic Profit Center Accounting are active: The entries of transaction 3KEH control ONLY the transfer of line items to classic Profit Center Accounting. Transaction 3KEI is no longer relevant. To set the profit center, use the options which are available in the new G/L accounting (make entries manually, use FI substitution, or implement the BADI AC_DOCUMENT).
    2. Derivation of the partner profit center
    Release SAP ERP 2004:
               Profit center scenario in the new G/L accounting is active, classic Profit Center Accounting is not active: Transactions 8KER/8KES are no longer available. Notes 997925 and 1087350 provide the functions from transaction OCCL. Alternatively, you can use the BAdI AC_DOCUMENT to set the partner profit center.
               Profit center scenario in new G/L accounting and classic PCA is active: Transactions 8KER/8KES and OCCL (reading purchase order/sales order for affiliated companies) are active.  However, we recommend that you no longer use transaction 8KER or 8KES. Partner profit centers derived using these transactions are available in both classic Profit Center Accounting and in New General Ledger Accounting only if the line is relevant in classic Profit Center Accounting.
    Release SAP ERP 2005:
               Profit center scenario in the new G/L accounting is active, classic Profit Center Accounting is not active: Transactions 8KER/8KES are no longer available. Notes 997925 and 1087350 provide the functions from transaction OCCL. Alternatively, you can use the BAdI AC_DOCUMENT or the new BAdI FAGL_DEFPPRCTR (enhancement spot FAGL_LEDGER_CUST_DEFPRCTR) with the method SET_DEFAULT_PART_PRCTR to set the partner profit center.
               Profit center scenario in new G/L accounting and classic PCA is active: Transactions 8KER/8KES and OCCL are active. However, we recommend that you no longer use transaction 8KER or 8KES because partner profit centers derived using these transactions are available in both classic Profit Center Accounting and in New General Ledger Accounting only if the line is relevant in classic Profit Center Accounting. Instead, if required, you should use the BAdI FAGL_DEFPPRCTR to set the partner profit center. A partner profit center determined in this way is always updated both in new G/L accounting and in classic Profit Center Accounting.
    3. Displaying receivables and payables for each profit center
    Document splitting is active
               The detailed information from the general ledger view about receivables and payables split online from the document splitting is NOT available for classic Profit Center Accounting. In this case, you CANNOT split receivables/payables nor follow-up costs subsequently (Transaction F.5D - report SAPF180A, Transaction F.50 - report SAPF181, Transaction F.05 - report SAPF100). This means that you CANNOT use transaction 1KEK to transfer receivables and payables to classic Profit Center Accounting. Follow-up costs split according to source can be transferred online to the classic Profit Center Accounting because these are already available in the data entry view.
               Read the documentation of the document splitting carefully. Analyze in which cases you have to set default account assignments because the document splitting is sometimes prevented by default account assignments.
    Document splitting is not active
               In this case, you CANNOT display the receivables and payables according to source at profit center level within the new G/L accounting. However, you can use the old split of the receivables and payables within the classic Profit Center Accounting (transaction F.5D) as well as of the follow-up costs (transaction F.50), and you can use the periodic transfer of receivables and payables using transaction 1KEK. However, you can execute the new report for the foreign currency valuation of the open items (report FAGL_FC_VALUATION) with depreciation areas only, which means that the documents are no longer updated (valuation difference not updated in BSEG-BDIFF). As a result, transaction 1KEK copies only the original receivables/payables, independently of transaction 2KEM 'Account Valuation Differences'; in other words, the original data is not corrected by the valuation differences.
               You can use the standard report groups 8A98 and 8A99 to display the open receivables and payables in classic Profit Center Accounting.
    4. Periodic transfers of asset portfolios to classic Profit Center Accounting
                  As of Release 4. 7, it is possible to map a parallel reporting mapped in FI (for example, parallel accounts) for parallel depreciation areas in Asset Accounting by using particular settings (defining an accounting principle). You must stop the execution of transaction 1KEI because it would result in duplicated data in PCA because of postings to the same accounts. You must also stop transaction 1KEI with a 'different company code' or a 'different depreciation area in the different company code' because the data cannot be transferred correctly. Transaction 1KEI terminates with the error message KM 764. As of Release SAP ERP, if the new general ledger accounting is active, the system issues the message FAGL_LEDGER_CUST 076.
    5. Dummy profit center on P&L accounts
                  You use transactions 3KEH and 3KEI to firstly try to determine a proposal profit center in classic Profit Center Accounting for document line items with a P&L account (no cost element) and without a profit center account assignment. If the system does not find a proposal profit center, the dummy profit center is set for some activities (primarily from Logistics). If the new G/L accounting is active AND if at least one of the two characteristics 'Profit Center' and 'Segment' is used in the document splitting, the routine for setting the dummy profit center will no longer run (see Note 820121 and 832776). Otherwise the document splitting would not split a document, or not split it correctly.  The system must then find the profit center that is valid for the process using the document splitting or another derivation. If this is not the case, the document line item will not be updated in the classic Profit Center (document line items with Profit Center initial are not allowed in the classic Profit Center Accounting).
    6. PCA additional rows
                  If you map Profit Center Accounting in new General Ledger Accounting in SAP ERP, you can use consulting note 937872 to update PCA additional lines recognized from classic Profit Center Accounting in new General Ledger Accounting.
                  If you use the transfer price functions, you do not require Note 937872 because the structure of the PCA additional lines are technically "true" and are automatically posted in new General Ledger Accounting when maintained in transaction 0KEK.
    7. Substitution of profit centers in sales orders
                  Transactions 0KEL and 0KEM are available both in the classic Profit Center Accounting and in the new G/L accounting (Customizing: Financial Accounting (New) -> General Ledger Accounting (New) -> Tools -> Validation/Substitution)
    8. Reporting
    Line item reporting within the new G/L accounting
               Release SAP ERP 2004: Even if document splitting is set with the characteristic Profit Center, only one restricted line item reporting to profit centers is available in this release at present. When you use the G/L account line item list of FI, you can limit profit centers for line item settlement G/L accounts that are not relevant for the document splitting. As of Support Package 10, line item reporting to profit centers and segments is available.
               Release SAP ERP 2005: Line item reporting according to profit centers and segments is available.
    Ledger reporting within the new G/L accounting
               Release SAP ERP 2004: Even if the document splitting is set with the characteristic profit center or segment, no current account reporting to profit centers and segments is available up to Support Package 10.  With Support Package 10, current account reporting according to profit centers and segments is available. Also see the detailed explanations for Release SAP ERP 2005.
               Release SAP ERP 2005: Current account reporting according to profit centers and segments is available. It replaces the standard report groups 8A98/8A99 in earlier releases. However, the difference is that the foreign currency valuation correction is no longer displayed for each item because no update of the valuation in items occurs through the foreign currency valuation in the new general ledger (no BDIFF/BDIFF2 update). It is a key date-related valuation (mostly for the period end).
    9. Transfer prices
                  The transfer price functions (multiple valuations) are available for new General Ledger Accounting as of SAP ERP 2005. For SAP ERP 2004, see the release restrictions in Note 741821. In SAP ERP 2004, you can use the transfer price functions or multiple valuation functions only if you have activated the classic General Ledger and classic Profit Center Accounting.
    10. Creating the profit center standard hierarchy
    Release SAP ERP 2004: You must create the highest node of the standard hierarchy in the Customizing of the classic Profit Center Accounting (transaction 0KE5), even if you are not using classic Profit Center Accounting.
    Release SAP ERP 2005: To create the highest node of the standard hierarchy, use transaction SM30 with the maintenance view V_FAGL_PC_STHR.
    11. Creating the dummy profit center
    Classic Profit Center Accounting is active (regardless of whether classic G/L accounting or new G/L accounting is active):
               If the classic Profit Center Accounting is active, you must create a dummy profit center to avoid postings with an initial profit center in the database tables of the classic PCA.
               If the new G/L accounting is also active AND if you are using at least one of the two characteristics 'Profit Center' and 'Segment' in the document splitting, you have to ensure in Release SAP ERP 2004 that Notes 820121 and 832776 are included.  In Release SAP ERP 2005, the changed posting logic is included from the beginning.  Note that the update of document line items in classic Profit Center Accounting is omitted because of this.
    Classic Profit Center Accounting is not active, New G/L Accounting is active and you are using at least one of the two characteristics 'Profit Center' and 'Segment' in the document splitting:
               You do not have to create and use a dummy profit center.  Using the dummy profit center can cause situations you want to avoid: For example, the system splits receivables/payables to the dummy profit center because of the document splitting (you cannot transfer them manually), or a document line item with dummy profit center account assignment is not split by the document splitting.  To ensure that a profit center is assigned in all rows, set the profit center as mandatory field in the Customizing of the document splitting.  However, note that this can also lead to terminations while posting, if a profit center assignment is missing.
    12. Compare G/L Accounts in FI with Profit Center Accounting (Transaction KE5T)
                  In classic Profit Center Accounting, transaction KE5T is used to compare account balances. In this transaction, the ledgers to be compare are fixed. If you use Profit Center Accounting in new General Ledger Accounting, use the general transaction GCAC. You can enter any base ledger and any comparison ledger.

  • FI-PCA balances are not matching

    Dear Experts,
    I have an issue where FI and Profit center account balances are not matching for period 1 for 1company code.
    I have tried the T.codes first F.5D then 1KEK and i tried with T.Code KE5T where i found the differences for 3 accounts.
    Hence requesting you all to help me out to close this issue.
    We are not using the New GL and we are with Classic GL only.
    Thanks in advance for the help,
    Regards,
    KK

    Dear KK,
    it is hard to say what's wrong. According to the transactions mentioned, I assume that you have differences on vendor/customer reconcilation accounts. You have to check with report groups 8A98 and 8A99 if the value transfered to PCA with trx. 1KEK is equal to the one shown in the report. In case the value is equal, the root cause is in the FI area (most likely the wrong clearing date is set in the open items). In case the value between 1KEK and the report per account is not equal, you should check if you have the customer exit EXIT_SAPLPC61_001 (enhancement PCA00001) is implemented and active which prevents the update of postings in PCA.
    In case this does not help, you have to open a customer message with the SAP Support to investigate the issue in more detail.
    Best regards,
    Daniela

  • Billing documents did not post to PCA Ledger

    The system did not crate did not create Profit Center Documents and CO Documens for 5 billing documents when released to Accounting.
    But when the customer made payments, the payment document created a profit center document. The AR is not reconciling to GL.
    The KNC1 table is not showing the Invoices but showing tha payments. So the customer cumulative balance is out of sync. This is causing our custom reports for AR Aging not reconciling to GL.
    I have posted using 1KE9 the billing documents to PCA, this has not fixed the issue.
    This report S_ALR_87012172 for customer balances in local currency is showing incorrect customer balance.
    How can I fix the GL / AR?

    Hello Geeta Gupta,
    There is a SAP internal interface between SD and GL. You can check it by tcode VFX3.
    If a billing is proceeded in SD succesfully it can be sent out to the customer to fix the recievable with the external customer. SAP internal account determination or other customizing mac not be complete to transfer the billing document to GL completely and successfully. So it gets stuck and can be identified using VFX3.
    As it goes through to GL it is in AR in the same moment (In 20 years FI I have never seen a difference between AR od AP and GL). Only documents posted in FI-GL or CO can be transferred to PCA. There is NO link between billing documents and PCA (remember it is CO-PA which has billing as a direct source). So a billing which is not in GL cannot be in PCA.
    So start VFX3, identify and comlete the missing settings and then kick off the billing to be posted.

  • Reconcilation account in Profit Centre reporting reporting

    Hello all,
    We have defined an customer reconcilation GL account in transaction 3KEH and have defined a default profit center to it.
    Now one of the company code wants to use profit center financial statement reporting for which they will run tran F.5D and 1KEK.
    This will result in the co-code having difference in the GL and PCA report to the extent of reconcialtion account.
    Is there an alternative solution available for the same as we would like to keep the default profit center definition in 3KEH
    Thanks

  • CCA and PCA figures not tie-up

    We are doing reconciliation between PCA and CCA figures. One thing that i noticed is that in CCA (S_ALR_87013611), there are lot's of columns that represents amounts (sometimes these amount columns varies) and i am bit confused of what columns shall i pick up in order to reconcile with PCA (S_ALR_87013326).
    the column amounts that i am referring to in CCA are the following: (Note that there are instances that amount/figures for these columns were different)
    1) Value COCurr
    2) Value ObjCurr
    3) Value TCur
    4) Val. in RC
    5) Var.val.in rep.cur
    6)Vbl.value/Obj.curr
    7)Vbl.Val./CoCrcy
    8)Value Ocur
    While in PCA (S_ALR_87013326), there are only two amount columns, which are always equal.
    1) In pctr local curr.
    2) In co. code currency.
    Could you please help me to identify what is the correct amount columns in CCA should i use in order to tie-up my figures in PCA?
    Thanks

    Hello Robert,
    There should not be a difference. See below:
    1) FI-GL has two currencies
    - Amt in Document Currency and
    - Amt in Co Code Currency
    2) CO-CCA can have three (or 4 in case we have an additional "Reporting Currency") currencies
    - Amt in Document Currency (same as Document Curr in FI-GL)
    - Amt in Object Currency (same as Company Code Currency)
    - Amt in Controlling Area Currency (will be translated at M rate), will be same in case Company Code Currency and Controlling Area Currency are same)
    - Amt in Reporting Currency (depending on what is selected)
    3) EC-PCA can have three currencies
    - Amt in Transaction Currency (in most cases, this is not recorded to facilitate ease in summarization of data in GLPCT, if recorded, same as FI-GL)
    - Amt in Company Code Currency (same as Compnay Code Currency in FI-GL)
    - Amt in Profit Center Local Currency (same as Controlling Area currency in most cases)
    Let us take an example as follows:
    Transaction / Document Currency - JPY
    Company Code Currency - CAD
    Controlling Area Currency - USD
    In GL, JPY and CAD are recorded
    In CCA, JPY, CAD and USD are recorded
    In PCA, JPY (if allowed), CAD and USD are recorded.
    I would assume that your scenario of currencies too is similar. If this is the case, there should not be any difference (hope you are not looking at Variable and Fixed values in CCA, these are of no consequence when you are doing reconciliation). It would be interesting to see if your scenario is different !!
    Hope this helps.

  • Fix Assets and EC-PCA ledger

    Hello team,
    I am aslo kind of new with Fix Assets. I was reconciling PCA ledger ( We just went Live) in trying to reconcile by using T-code 0KE1, I acciedntally deleted some documenst related to a fix asset settlement account in PCA ledger.
    I tried reposting documents by executing 1KE8 and adding the FI docuemnts but nothign gets posted. Do I have to use a different transaction to re post fix assets documents, or do I have to re-settle even after the months have been closed? I just need to see the settlement documents in PCA ledger, FI is fine.
    Thank You for yoru help,

    You can use 9KE0 to post profit center documents.

  • Balance Sheet Accounts in PCA

    Hi,
    If I only activated PCA to capture the balance sheet accounts (Profit & Loss will be done strictly in COPA), can I left the field PC assigment in Cost Center Master Data to be empty?
    Because the structure of the CC is in departement view, while the structure of PC is based on Product Hierarchy.
    And I need to create the Balance Sheet Report based on the product hierarchy as in PC hierarchy.
    Could any body advice me regarding the mater, like what is the implication if I left the PC assignment blank in CC master data.
    Any help would be appreciated..
    Thanks
    Lea

    If you do not assign any profit center to a cost center, anyhow the system would assign them to a default <b>Dummy Profit Center</b> which makes it more difficult to reconcile Cost Center Accounting and Financial Accounting. It is therefore recommended that you assign a profit center to each Cost center.
    The following are some more analysis based on SAP documentation on concept and PCA assignments with reference to your dilemma of how to assign profit center to cost center which has been designed based on different characteristics namely product hierarchy versus function.
    You have divided your company into profit centers according to product hierarchy.
    This makes it difficult to assign cost centers that are divided by functions, to a profit center, which is divided  by another attribute. i.e. product hierarchy. This can be apparent in a case, where, a production cost center may be performing  activities relating to products which fall under multiple profit centers.
    In these cases, you may want to assign these cost centers to one profit center (for example, "Production A"). If the cost center then performs activities for a production order, the system however credits the profit center "Production A" as well as the cost center at the time of settlement.  You can then either settle the over-/under absorption from the cost center (for example, to a profitability segment) or allocate it directly to the corresponding product hierarchy in Profit Center Accounting.
    It is often not possible to assign administration cost centers directly to a profit center. In this scenario, you can create profit center named <b>service profit center</b> or <b>allocation profit center.</b>. Then you may assign the admin cost center to the service profit center or  allocation profit center. This profit center would then contain all the administrative costs which occur. At the end of the period, you can then either settle this over-/under absorption from the cost center (for example, to a profitability segment), with assignment to a service profit center.
    To simplify you can ideally assess or distribute it directly in Profit Center Accounting, with the allocation profit center as the sender. In either case, the corresponding profit center is credited at the end of the period.

  • Special Leder and FI balance sheet do not reconcile

    Hi,
    I have issues with reconciling special ledger and FI balance sheet accounts. The month-end process GWUL (currency translation for SPL) was executed and business users did not execute F.05 for FI, probably this was missed out more than one month.
    There balance sheet accounts in these ledgers do not reconcile. e.g. there are no FI posting for Bank account 1100011, but due to special ledger conversion GWUL there are postings in special ledgers.
    How do i fix the issue?
    Thanks

    HI
    Originally till 4.7 SAP had only month end transaction to push many of balance sheet items to PCA only from the new versions it is having this online transfer usinf assignment of PCA to Gl accounts and then deriving PCA through splitting rules. Thats is why P7L items automatically flow however for balance sheet items especially creditors and debtors, bank and others it requires proper derivation.
    Even in Balance sheet Asset will flow automatically

  • PCA & CO-PA

    Hi friends,
    What is difference b/w Profit center and Profitability Analysis? Please explain with example in simple way?
    Regards,
    Chandra.

    Dear Sir,
    Profit Center is particular division, branch/product line for which you want to find out the financial result.
    COPA is more to do with specific business segments like, for a particular product line in a sales area how much is the profit?
    Profitability Analysis allows Management the ability to review information with respect to the company’s profit or contribution margin by business segment. Profitability Analysis can be obtained by the following methods:
    - Account-Based Analysis which uses an account-based valuation approach. In this analysis, cost and revenue element accounts are used. These accounts can be reconciled with FI (Financial Accounting).
    - Cost-Based Analysis uses a costing based valuation approach as defined by the User.
    Profit Center Accounting provides visibility of an organization’s profit and losses by profit center. The methods which can be utilized for EC-PCA (Profit Center Accounting) are period accounting or by  the cost-of-sales approach.
    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.
    Thanks

  • Difference between G/L Account Balance and PCA Balance

    Friends,
    After executing KE5T for the period 6 we are seeing a difference in the G/L a/c balance figures and the profit center figures for 2 balance sheet accounts. In one case the PCA balance figures are greater than the G/L a/c balance figures and vice versa in the 2nd case.
    What is the procedure to be followed in such cases? Is there any standard program that can identify the postings that are causing the differences?
    Please confirm at your earliest.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Sameer S. Gupte

    Eli,
    Thanks for the reply.
    However, the note 126910 specifically mentions that it is not to be used for balance sheet account balances transferred to PCA using 1KEK.
    Can you please advise about reconciling differences between PCA and balance sheet accounts.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Sameer S. Gupte

  • CK13N VS. PCA COST OF GOODS SOLD

    Dear All
    I am currently trying to reconcile CK13N cogs to the COGS in the PCA report, can this be done? kindly assist.

    Hi,
    there are a lot of reports in LIS, which could also be used via download.
    The best way to get realy the Information you need, create a SAP Query or select your material master data directly from the sap tables. You could find the tables via SE16 and f.e. MAR* and F4,
    or click to the fields you Need with F1 and the technical datas. Then do the selection of all datas you would like to see within SE16. Set your user Parameters to ALV-Grid and you will receive a data download with your Special datas.
    Regards
    Thomas
