Profit Center deriviation from Cost Center

Hi all,
I have just configured CCA and PCA for one of our new company code.
I have created 3 cost centers like A, B, C and subsequently same have been created as profit centers too.
Maintained the profit center in the cost center master data.
No other derivation rules has been configured so far.
Now i am trying to do a expense posting with F-02, after entering cost center, system is updating profit center field with a dummy profit center only.
Even i f a changed the dummy to normal profit center, again system replacing the normal PC with dummy PC.
I want like...when i enter CC as A, then i need to derive PC also as A for the line item. ( For both expense items as well as revenue items).
Please suggest.
Regards,
Srinu

Hi Chintan,
Thanks for your quick response.
We have already implemented the said SAP note.
Let me explain my requirement again.
We have IOA, CCA, PCA active in our system.
For every expense or revenue line item Internal order is mandatory.
apart from we have 3 cost centers and 3 profit centers ( 1:1 )
in cost center master , profit center is assigned.
1) users are going to decide the cost center, while posting FI direct entries only. So while doing F-02, they will enter CC, and IO manually and at the same time PC should derive from cost center master data ( as it is 1:1 only).
2) as specified above, we have IOA, CCA, PCA active. In this case IO, CC, PC are to be set as mandatory fields for Field Status Groups G004 and G029?
Please advise...
Regards,
Srinu

How to get cost center group from cost center

Hello
I have cost center and i need to get the cost center group.
Anyone having an idea how to get it???
Thanks

Hi,
Cost centre could be assigned to different cost centre groups. For standard hierarchy, you can retrieve it from CSKS table, but for other groups SETLEAF table (class 0101) will provide you a complete answer.

Profit center accounting and cost center relationship

Experts, in the future as we look to tie the PCA cube with the CO cube, the referential integrity will be important. What I see as being important is capturing the profit center, cost center and account that was used at the transactional level and not from an arbitrary hierarchy. As such, in the PCA cube, it would be optimal to have the cost center assigned to the transaction be available. This assumes that the PCA totals are by profit center, cost center and account. Furthermore, I will want to build a jump target from the PCA cube to the CO cube where we can see this data by cost center and cost element or vice versa. There seems to be some uncertainty on if the PCA cube has the cost center informaiton, so how would I do this?

I don know if i understood it correctly but If you assign you profit center in your cost center you should be able to get all that you need.

Allocation of Costs from Cost center to COPA

Hi
We are booking costs to a Cost Center with reference to a Primary Cost Element. However, in month end, the same cost has to be transferred to COPA. One of the Characteristics in COPA is also Profit Center.
The issue is that we can allocate costs from Cost centers to COPA through Assesement Rule, system requirement is for Assesement Cost Element, which is a secondary Cost element. In such a case, the PCA Balances, after execution of Assesement cycle are shown with the Secondary Cost Elements.
In a case, I have booked costs of INR 100000 in a cost center 103007 against a Primary Cost Element 423101. Since Profit Center 103007 is assigned in Cost Center 103007, the Profit Center Line Items will show a balance of INR 100000 against cost element 423101 for Profit Center 103007.
After this at month end, we need to allocate costs from Cost Center to COPA. But the requirement is that after allocation also, the balances should be shown against Cost Element 423101 for Profit Center 103007

Sanil

Hi Sanil
That is not possible.. There is no "Distribution cycle" available for COPA.. In COPA you can have either an Assessment Cycle or an Indirect Act Allocation or a Template Allocation...
I dont know about template allocation as I have never used that, but gut feel says even that wont serve the purpose...
One work around is you allocate from Cost Center to an Internal Order using Distribution cycle... Then Allocate from IO to COPA using assessment... In order to use IO as sender in allocation cycle, use note 605281
At best, what you can do is to use an Allocation Structure instead of one single assessment cost element per Segment... Using an Alloc Str, you can map, say, GL Accounts for Basic Salary, DA, HRA to one Secondary cost element... This way, create logical groupings of GL accounts and map to multiple secondary cost elements
But bear in mind, The more you use Secondary cost elements, the more will be the line items in CE1XXXX table...

Changes to Profit center assigned to cost center

Hi
We have a scnario in which the profit center assigned to the cost center master has to be changed. We have been advised also to change the validity period of the same from the date of change of the profit center .However, the cost center has been used to for some data postings with the old profit center maintained in the cost center master. Now my query is:
1. What is the impact of changing the profit center in cost center master? In our case, some data has been posted to the cost center when the old profit center was maintained.
2. Why should we change the validity period of the cost center after changing the profit center assigned to the cost center?
3. Also, what is the way to transfer the entries which have been posted to the old profit center to the new profit center?
Regards
Sanil Bhandari

hi,
1) The impact of profit center is more in the cost center. when ever we assign profit center to cost center. the cost will be updated automatically. so there is no direct posting in profit center only statstical posting are generated.
2) second one when we want to create profit center first chek it out profit center valid and upto. if same is not maintained in creation of cost center . so u must have to change the validity periods
3) i am not sure this one i thing 7KEH OR 1KEF TC is there any way tommorow i will give the answer this questions.
if my answers are wrong plz correct and replay to my id [email protected]
thank you

Profit center hierarchy and cost center hierarchy

Hi
What are the things we have to consider to create Profit center hierarchy and cost center hierarchy and what is the need to assign profit center hierarchy to profit center and cost center hierarchy to cost center. What levels does this fall into? Can some one please guide me.
Thanks.

As you would for any other infoobject
Activate the business content hierarchy datasources on R3 for cost centre and profit centre
Go into BW - replicate the metadata
Then just connect via transformations or transfer rules the datasources to yoru infosources or master data objects
Create an infopackage per hierarchy!!!!! - press the button available hirachies from OLTP - click the one you want on the left - fire it off
Then repeat new infopackages for all hierachies

Derivation of Funds Center from cost center for Asset PR/PO in FM

Hello Experts,
We configured new FM area and relevant BCS settings. It is working fine except PR or PO for Account assignment category A.
Issue: system is not able derive funds center from cost center in the asset master. cost center is not updated in EBKN table for Asset PR.
we have maintained the following;
1. Funds center is activated in Asset account assignments
2. Maintained derivation rule with function module: FMDT_READ_MD_ASSET
3. Derivation rule for cost center to funds center also maintained
If maintain funds center manually in PR it is working fine and consuming budget also.
Requirement: How derive funds center from cost center assigned in asset. I have verified all tickets raised in this forum, but nothing has answered my question.
Request you to provide solution for above issue.
Thanks in advance for support.
Regards,
Chalapathi

Hi Venkata,
You have two derivation rules, first related to Asset function module and second one is related to CC and FC combination.
You need to maintain the function module derivation rule first then you need to maintain the derivation rule related to combination of CC and FC. Because first you need to derive CC from asset master and then you need to derive fund center with reference to this CC.

Please clarify if you have an option for doing this.

Profit Center Mandatory in Cost Center Master

Hi Expert!
I would like to know the configuration path to make the option Profit Center Mandatory in cost center master data.
Thanks
J

If you have activated profit center accounting and if you leave profit center blank in the cost center master, system issues a warning message at the time of saving. You can convert this message to error to make profit center mandatory.
The message number is KS096. It can be configured in transaction code OBA5. Choose application area KS. Insert message 096 and select the desired message type (E for error or W for warning).
