Profit center field in Material MD - Easy question

Hi Experts,
I have an easy question..
The material master data screen have a tab 'General Plan', and there is the field 'Profit Center'.
a) Is this field is filled, which is the impact in the system?
b) is this value (profit center) used in other area or calculation?
c) What happend if this field is empty?
Thank you in advance!

Hi,
The path told in above reply is correct but making profit centre mandatory for only two plants is not possible.
You can make it mandatory for specified Material Type or you can make it mandatory while doing selected Transaction Like MM01 or MM02 etc

Update Profit Center Field in CO Line item tables

Hi,
We are working on ECC6.0 NewGL with Real-time CO-FI integration for Cross Company Code and Cross Pofit Center.
For those CO internal documents (like activity confirmation at production order) where there is no cross company code or cross profit center postings, no FI document is generated and hence table FAGLFLEXA is not updated. So, we wanted to take data from CO table COEP / COVP for these internal CO documents. However, there is no Profit Center field in CO line item tables COEP / COVP. We don't want to refer to Object Number (OBJNR) of COEP / COVP tables and take profit center from master table of cost centers, IOs etc..,as Profit center in the cost center, IO masters may get changed latter.
I tried to generate a new report through report painter from structure CCSS, but Profit center is not defined as Charactericts there. Hence of no use.
Can we append Profit Center field in CO line item tables COEP / COVP and update tatabase at the time of posting? Is there any risk?
Please suggest any other alternative...
Thanks,
Bijay

Hi,
As per the standard process we can't derive PC from CO-internal Object...as per my knowledge.
Better you can derive from IO-CC master PC ....if your question that it will change frequently then -no control can make.

Hi,
Until some years ago Profit Center did not exist in FI-AA master data. The Profit Center was derived from other objects (like the cost center) during posting, but there was no way to enter a Profit Center directly in the asset.
Asset master data has been enhanced with EHP 5 to contain also fields for Profit Center and Segment. To make use of that functionality you need to activate the Business Function for "Segment Reporting" as explained in the Link posted by Jayj before.
Once Business Function "Segment Reporting" is active, you will be able to make ACSET settings for the Profit Center like for the other account assignment objects. Without the Business Function the field does not exist in asset accounting and therefore you cannot find it in customizing.

Profit center field and internal order field in sales order

Hello all,
I am unable to find the settings for profit center field and internal order field in sales order account assignment tab screen. kindly let me know the path and configuration settings.
Thanks in advance

srinivas

Hi Srinivas
If you want to assign the profit center then make sure that the Profit center is assigned in MMR->Sales orgn 1 view .
But to assign the Profit center in MMR also you need to configure the Profit center first for your Material in your company code with the help of FI/CO consultants and then assign then the profit center will flow from MMR to sales order item data->account assignment tab

Profit center field mandatory and error in OKB9

Hello everyone,
I have a question on Profit center. My user wants to see a message that profit center is mandatory at the time of GL posting and also add a profit center at the time of GL posting.
What I tried was in OKB9 added cost element (GL), assigned category 3 for 'Profit center mandatory' but when I assigned a profit center it gave me a message that 'cost element needs to be a revenue element (Note - cost element is assigned category 11) to assign profit center so I left that. and only used category 3 with cost element and company code.
My question is
1) Why is it giving me this error in OKB9, when I assign cost element.
2) How can I make Profit center field mandatory for the client and he can add his own Profit center

HI,
In OKB9 for profit center assingment it can be only Revenue elements. For those expenses item it can be cost elemtn with category 1.
It can be possible make it as mandatory fiile in field status variant for respective GL accounts and also document type you can make profit center is mandatory in that FSV.
Revert for clarification.

How to set default value in Profit Center field of Tcode F-02.

Hi!
Is it possible to set a default value for 'Profit Center' field in t.code F-02? Is there a way wherein the value will be copied in reference to the entered Business Area?
For example, if during parking/posting of document, user input a value of 300 in the Business Area field, the system will automatically put 300 in the Profit Center field. Is there a way to do this?
Hoping for your feedback.
Thanks,
April

Hi
Using the substitution this can be achieved.
TC:GGB1
Step-1: Prerequiste select the Company code for which this requirement is needed
Step-2: In Substitution field, select the the "Profit center" field on selection of the field - system'll asks you - How would you like to substfield BSEG-PRCTR ? with the 3 options
i.constant value
ii.exit
iii.Field-Field assignment
Select the 3rd option on selecting 3rd option before going to save that substitution it'll ask you to input which field should input the field BSEG-GSBER:Business area
Step-3: activate the above substitution in TC:OBBH
With the above settings whenever any value inputs in Business are field then the same value will be substituted in the Profit center field.
Note: Make sure in all FSG - business area & profit center having the field status optional
Can you tell me onething why this requirement has came ? Is business area and profit center are same in number and prupose

Display of Profit Center field while creating asset in AS01

Dear Experts,
I have a requirement of displaying profit center field while creating asset in AS01. Currently there is no option of profit center in AS01. My client uses the profit center reporting, so they want to assign a profit center at the time of creation of asset in AS01.
Is this possible to display profit center field in AS01, or else any other option to tackle this issue.
Regards,
Juned

Hi,
You can only have COST CENTER in asset master, but not profit center.
You have to maintain the respective PC in cost center master data only.
If Cost Cetner field is also not in AS01, then you need to activate it first.
SPRO->FA->AA->Integration with GL->Additional Account Assignment Objects->Activate Account Assignment Objects.
Here you need to activate COST CENTER field. Now you will be able to change the field status of cost center field in screen layout for asset master data as REQUIRED field. and SAVE
Then in AS01 you can enter COST CENTER

Profit center field in FIBLFFP- free form payment

Hi,
We need profit center field in the screen of FIBLFFP as it is not present currently in the t code FIBLFFP. We needed this field as New G/l has been implemented and document splitting is active based on the profit center but we have not marked mandatory check for profit center in the current customizing settings. As a consequence for some of the posted transctions involving multiple profit centers we could not see the profit centers in some of the line items in General ledger view. Thus we want to have profit center field in the screen of FIBLFFP so that mandatory check for profit center can be made.
We are using ECC 6.0, any help will be greatly appreciated.
Puneet

Hi,
Have you got any solution to adding cost center or profit center in T-Code FIBLFFP?

Profit center field is not appearing while posting of customer invoice and

Hi,
profit center field is not appearing while posting of customer invoice in F-02 i was selected profit center field is optional on posting key and field status group level ................
Can anybody tell what are all new gl Reporting list of transaction codes

Hi,
In the F-02 T.Code we cannot find the profit centre for customer line item. We have to attach the profit centre for the other line item i.e income gl account. Due to document splitting system will derive the profit centre and we can see the profit centre for the both line items under General Ledger view.

Update Profit center field in FBL1N report

Hi
I have a query. We are making payment to vendors from bank account relevant to profit center A .Bill was raised by vendor for profit center A
In FBL1N report it shows profit center relevant to bank line itemsi,e, A instead of B.
We have activated New GL and specified Default profit center for bank GL accounts.
Regards
Ajay

Hi,
In new GL vendor line item is not having the field called profit center.
for vendor line item profit center field will update from exiting bank line item only based on your document splitting functionality
if you activate the Inherite check box ticked at 'activation fo document splitting' node else it will take the defualt profit center.

Vendor to vendor entry-profit center field not appearing in line item

Dear Sir/Madam
We have gone live with New GL Implementation. Last month we have implemented it.
Now we are passing entries from vendor to vendor. It is transfer entry from one vendor to another through T code FB01.
we have made the profit center field mandatory in the Reconciliation GL account Field status group. Also we have made the profit center field mandatory in the Posting key 21 and 31 field status. The profit center field is not appearing in the line item because of which we are not able to post the entry.
Kinldy help us to resolve the issue.
Prashant Zinge

Hi Prashant,
As mentioned by all here.. it is correct that you do not have profit centre in Vendor line items..
As I understand it is a one time activity.. of transferring balance from one vendor account to another vendor Account.. so you can use a clearing account to transfer the balances.. this way your entries will increase but you will be able to post w/o any customisation. You can also use LSMW to post this.
