Hi.
Please follow the steps below:
(1) Check the Field reference in OMS2 for the material Type you are using.
(2) Go to OMS9 , Select Your Field Selection Group and Press Details Button. This Field would be optional. Now check a mandatory selection Group in this screen.

Now check the the Profit centre in material master. It will become a mandatory field now.

  • Change profit centre in material master

    Dear all,
    How to change profit centre in material master with stock(opening balance - 561 stock ?
    What are implications of changing profit centre in material master ?
    Jeyakanthan

    In standard SAP it is possible to change the profit center at any time.
    However this will create inconsistencies in your profit center accounting. Hence you should issue all stock first to a cost center with 201 movement, then change the profit center, then get the material back with 202 movement.
    You need to make MM335 message an error message in OMT4 to allow a change only if there is no stock
    If you dont follow this way, then you create inconsistencies in profit center accounting.
    Because...you received your stock without profit center (actually it is a certain default profit center), if you then change the PC in your material, then each issue will be posted to the new PC, while it never had a 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,

  • 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,

  • Bydefault selection of profit centers during material master creation.

    Dear SAP Experts,
    My business wants that when ever they want to create a new material the profit center field should come bydefault after the selection of the plant.
    Each plant has been associated with a profit center.
    Is it possible , If yes then How.
    Please guide me.
    Regards
    Debjeet Banerjee

    There is no direct link of profit center and plant , the profit center is linked with plant via material master.So you cannot default the profit center when you select the plant while creating the MMR.
    Better try with any custom table were you can make this link and default it while creation of material master.

  • 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.).

    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

  • 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 Centre in production order donu0092t copied from sales order

    Dear guru ,
    i maintain Profit Centre in Material Master Data , in Sales: General / Plant data, then the same will default in sales order.
    I can change it at the item level in the sales order T.Code: VA01, in the Account Assignment Section.
    I use make-to-order processing , but in the production order the system copied profit centre of material
    Master and not from sales order position.
    How can copy the profit centre from sales order position ?
    Thanks in advance.

    Pl. check TOR(Transfer of requirment) setting. your requirment type is make-to-order. do the setting accordingly. Pl. revert back if i am wrong. I think it will be helpful.

  • Is it possible to Create Material Master without Profit Center ?

          3) Whether PO Order Creation,GRN & MIRO Possible for those material Master without Profit Center.?

    Hi,
    Profit center is at the plant level.
    You can create material master even with out a profit center.This field will be there in the costing view and and general sales/plant data.
    while creation of the materila master if do not select these views system will not ask for that.Normally it is pertaining to the costing analysis.
    A profit center manager is held accountable for both revenues, and costs (expenses), and therefore, profits. What this means in terms of managerial responsibilities is that the manager has to drive the sales revenue generating activities which leads to cash inflows and at the same time control the cost (cash outflows) causing activities. This makes the profit center management more challenging than cost centre management. Profit center management is equivalent to running an independent business because a profit center business unit or department is treated as a distinct entity enabling revenues and expenses to be determined and its profitability to be measured.
    Business organizations may be organized in terms of profit centers where the profit center's revenues and expenses are held separate from the main company's in order to determine their profitability. Usually different profit centers are separated for accounting purposes so that the management can follow how much profit each center makes and compare their relative efficiency and profit. Examples of typical profit centers are a store, a sales organization and a consulting organization whose profitability can be measured.

  • About profit centers assignment in Material Master

    Hi Frnds,
    Have a doubt to clarify. As far as assigning the (Cost centers and) Profit  Centers in Material Master (MM01/MM02 ) is concerned, when we look at the costing views, there we have an option only to enter a Profit Center and not a Cost Center. Can anyone suggest to me in this regards.
    My doubt is: When we purchase a Raw material/  Semi finished (in short any material), it is a cost incurred to produce a Finished product, which means this has to hit some cost center, first.
    And above all when a PO etc from MM are made, there the purchasing clerk punches the RELEVANT COST CENTERS, then:
    what is the use of defaulting Profit center in the material master,(without actually defaulting both cost and profit centers in costing views of MM).
    (ii) when a cost object (profit center) is being defaulted, why not cost center?
    Coz, primarily we need to know the cost in purchasing the material, then add up all costs and OH and then arrive at a selling price, thereby arriving at PROFIT which is where profit center is highly useful.
    Plz suggest
    regards
    sandhya

    Hi,
    To clarify your doubts see my response below:
    1) Only Costs can be assigned to Cost Centres. i.e.Balance Sheet items cannot be assigned to Cost Centres.
    2) On the other hand Balance Sheet items can be assigned to Profit Centres.
    When you purchase a Raw material or Intermediate it is not a Cost at the point of Purchase but it is only a Cost at the time of Consumption, if the same is going to be inventorised. In this case it cannot be assigned to a Cost Centre as the Inventory Account which is a Balance Sheet Account is debited in FI.
    Only when the Material is issued to the Production line for manufacture of a Finished product, the Cost centre will be manually assigned. Further, you cannot assign a default Cost Centre to a material , as the material can be issued & consumed by any Cost centre and thus the Cost centre will be assigned at the time of issue.
    If you purchase a material and if the same is not going to be inventorised but it is a consumable material, it is assigned to a Cost Centre as the time of purchase and it will be debited to a P&L account in FI. The Cost Centre can be defaulted from the Purchase Requisition or the Purchase Order as the case maybe.
    Profit centres are defaulted in the Material master, as we need to generate Profit Centre wise Financial statements and the Inventories need to be posted to Profit Centres to generate Financial statements.
    Hope this clarifies your doubts.

    Assign points if useful.
