Profit center Accounting in ECC 5.0/6.0

Hi,
Need to clarify that we need to do planning in BCS for profit center accounting & need to know what can be the table in ECC6.0 to pull PCA relevant data with cost as we may get from GLPCT& need to know that from ECC 6.0 old PCA is not to be used or we still can use old PCA . If we can not use old profit center accounting how we can run the report based on PC hier & find out balances with cost to profit center.
Regards,
Vipin

Hi,
Thanks for answer. The GLPCT table is not getting activated in the case when we activated the new GL Functionality so not able to link that table to BIW. Need to know what are the relevant tables that can be referred to in FI that includes profit center data & Secondary cost postings in CO.

Vipin

Profit Center Accounting in ECC 5.0

We are on ECC 5.0 and having some issues with profit center accounting. Is there any way that I can tell if Profit Center Accounting has been fully configured? If anyone has any documentation, I would greatly appreciate it.
Here are the problems:
1. We are posting to profit centers during document entry (FB50, FB60, FB70, FB01, F-02, etc.) however, when I go to review the documents, it only shows the accounting document and not a profit center accounting document. This doesn't seem normal. I can confirm that we have a document type set up for PCA, but it doesn't appear to have a number range assigned to it. Would there be any reason why a company wouldn't want to have PCA documents being created? We are running reports out of BW as well....
2. When I try to run typical PCA reports such as
KE5Z                Profit Center: Actual Line Items
S_ALR_87009712      Profit Center: Area list plan/act.
S_ALR_87013327      Plan/Actual/Variance: Profit Centers
S_ALR_87013332      Curr.Period,Aggreg.,Year Pl/Act.PrCt
S_ALR_87013340      PrCtr Group: Plan/Actual Comparison
I get the message, "No data found." I have gone to the GLPCA and GLPCT tables and they show 0 entries. Are these transactions considered "old PCA" in ECC 5.0? Are there other PCA reports that may read from new PCA tables or are there new PCA transactions in ECC 5.0?
Thanks for any help or info.

Hello Linda,
The transactions are the same between the two versions.
To check if the customizing is ok you could see :
- If you have profit centers created KE53 or KCH6N
- The 1KE1(customizing analysis)give you a profit center resume of your customizing.
- Show if the 0KE5 transaction is completed with the controlling area, dummy profit center, valuation view, control indicator .
- To show if the EC-PCA actual posting is activated, transaction 1KEF
- GB02, number range have to be created.

Profit Center Accounting in ECC 6.0 New GL Accounting

Hi,
I want to make my understanding clear.
If we are in ECC 6.0 and New GL accounting is active and also the One of the Document Spliiting characteristics is Profit Center, it means that all the document must have the Profit center to it.
In this way we can get the Profit center wise Balance sheet.
I hope my understing is clear till now. Please correct me if I am wrong.
Now with this, my next question is , do we really need to Configure the Profit Center Accounting node Under controlling?
If yes, why to do this? Because if we require Distribution or assessment cycle for the Profit center, it can be done through General Ledger Accounting node (New) period end closing process.
Please correct me if I am wrong.
regards

Hi Kerstin
Assume you are on ECC 6.0 and you dont create Dummy PC...
If doc splitting is active, you get an error that "PC in Line item XXXX not filled"... System does not look for Dummy PC in that case...
Same behaviour should have been replicated in CRM as well.. Dont you think so?? If I have not activated EC-PCA, I am not supposed to get any error related to Dummy PC... Thats the basic premise of SAP, as far as I know...
When Dummy PC is a feature of EC-PCA, system should look for it only when EC-PCA is active... Though you can say Dummy PC can be created from New GL Menu,, but the basic premise which stil remains is the behaviour is not the same in CRM & Other ECC components like FI, when the PC is not found.... One behaviour is as per EC PCA active and the other is as per New GL PCA active
Anyways, thanks for sharing your knowledge on this,

COPA Planning to Profit Center Accounting

Hi,
We are using ECC 6.0.
When we do COPA planning and transfer the values of COPA to Profit Center, no data has been transfered to profit center plan items.
We have not activated Planning version of Classic Profit Center Accounting. Is it required for ECC 6.0 also to activate Classic Profit Center Accoutning?
We have Mapped requisit Value fields of COPA to GL Accounts.
Can any one guide us in this regard.
Thanks in Advance
Sudhakar

Hi,
In COPA the planning has been done to the value field of PRCTR which represents Profit center. Through report forms the actual and plan data for the value fields can be derived in COPA itself. I dont think that the planned values can be transferred to profit center accouting. On the other hand the actuals of profit center with the same value fields can be derived in COPA.
Assign points if its useful

Classical profit center Accounting in new GL

Dear Experts,
I am not aware about profit center configuration.We are planning to implement ECC-6.
Today i faced problem in dummy client during configuration,
What i did it- i have activated profit center at controlling area
2) then did setting in OKES- created dummy profit center,define profit center standard hierachy,profit center currency = controlling area currency and activated profit center accounting
3)Set Control Parameters for Actual Data- selected online transfer and line items
But i am not sure-I need to do all the setting in ECC-6 like creation of dummy profit center and activation of online transfer +line item tansfer.
Request you to guide me on configuration- Whether setting Of PCA will change in NEW GL or Not required in New GL.
regards
RR

HI ajay,
Thanks for your valuable advice,
When i m planning to do config in golden client.
1)i will not select profit center in controlling area
2)i will not create dummy profit center and not required online transfer and line item tick
3)Shall i need to define standard hierarchy and Profit center currency type for profit center under 0KES ?
need to do anything in 0kes (Maintain Controlling Area Settings for PCA)
request you to clear this also

Profit Center Accounting Reports - New GL

I've done the configuration and setup for the Profit Center accounting reports (new GL) in ecc 6 and I'm having an outstanding issue.
If I attempt to run the reports via their transaction code, ie S_E38_98000088 I have no problems. Access/authorization is fine and the desired result is achieved. If I navigate the SAP Easy Menu to Accounting -> Financial Accounting -> General Ledger -> Information System -> General Ledger Reports (New) I don't see the "Reports for Profit Center Accounting folder.
If I go to se43 and look at the S000 areamenu, the path is there. I've tried with a user account that has wide open access to everything and I still don't see it. Is there any configuration that needs to be done to get this menu path to display to the end user?
Any help/suggestions are greatly welcomed.
Regards,
Elder

I think this comes with Enterprise Business Function FIN_GL_CI_1, t-code SFW5. Read the documentation in SFW5, those Reports are there.
Good luck.

Using Business Area and Profit Center Accounting with New GL functionality

Hello,
We are Public Sector and using ECC 6.0, we have been using Business Area with Fund Management. We also use Special Purpose Ledger with Document splitting. Before migrating to New GL functionality, we want to understand
-     The possibility of using both Business Area and Profit Center Accounting, and the impact on the system
-     If we activate Profit Center Accounting before migration, how will it work with the splitting process?
-     If we migrate without Profit Center Accounting, will this cause the activation of Profit center accounting later to be more complicated, even if we migrate again?
Thanking you

Hi Sachin,
Thank you for the reply, we want to know that
-     The possibility of using both Business Area and Profit Center Accounting, and the impact on the system
If we decide using Profit Center Accounting with Business Area with New GL functionality how we should do it
-     should we activate classical Profit Center Accounting before migrating to New GL functionality, if we do this how will it work with the splitting process?
-     If we migrate to New GL functionality without Profit Center Accounting, will this cause the activation of Profit center accounting later to be more complicated, even if we migrate again?

Activate Profit Center Accounting with Splitter in SPL / New GL

...............New G/L go live date.....................Migration Point (after this cannot post back)
...............I<--old G/L--
>I
...............I..(using old G/L till Migration).........I
I--I>---
...............I...................................................I
...............I...................................................I
...............07/01/2011
...............PCA (activating it with splitter)
We are Public Sector and are on ECC 6.0, we have been splitting Document based on Business Area and Fund. Before migrating to New GL functionality, we are also thinking to use the feature of document splitting with characteristic profit center. To do that we are thinking of the two following scenarios, but want to understand the possibility, the benefits and impact on the system
Scenario A. Activating Profit Center Accounting with Splitter in Special Purpose Ledger on the GO-live date and populate Profit Center field in Classical G/L.
Scenario B. Activating Profit Center Accounting with Splitter In New G/L on the GO-live date and populate Profit Center field in New G/L.

Yes, I understand that (ours too). Based on your diagram, migration will be some time after 7/1/2011.
Actually, I think what SAP recommends is complete migration before opening the new FY for posting. In any case, if you want to add a new split characteristic and you are already using SPL, I think it is better to add it to SPL before NewGL migration because SAP handles migration with SPL and without SPL (from classic GL) differently. With SPL is a lot more straight forward.

Difference between Business area and profit center accounting

Hi Frnds,
Can any body explain about difference between business area and profit center accounting .

Hi
Business area will have many profit centers. For example Vehicle is a business area in a company. Vehicle can be cars and Bikes etc. Here Vehicle is business area and Cars and Bike are profit centers. In broad Vehicle is a profit center. But as it has sub areas those are profit centers. So profit centers cannot be replaced with business area and vice versa. We can replace business area by Profit centre, only condition is that it should be in same controlling area. The business area is more like a business unit of a company. You can have multiple profit centers within a business area.
Main distinguish factor is that distribution and assessment in possible in profit center but not in business area.
One more distinction is that Business area need not be attached to any organisation structure. But profit centres can be created only under the controlling area. Business area can be across controlling area.
Business area concept is used for making stragic decisions by the management whereas the primary purpose of profit centre accounting is responsibility accounting.
