Account-based PA vs. profit center accounting

Hello,
I am pretty new to this area. We are planning to use account-based PA in SAP and we are already using PCA.
So we are wondering if it is possible to "copy/convert" existing reports in PCA (KE5A) into PA?
The second question is, are PA and PCA "using" the same data?
Thanks
Anne

Hi,
Definitely, not. The reports of PCA not only based on different tables, but also use different extraction logic than reports of CO-PA. You will have to build a separate set of reports for CO-PA.

  • Profit center based on cogs profit center

    Hi All,
    Based on a business requirement, I need to auto populate the profit center based on the cogs profit center selected at row level.
    I have made a query but it auto populates the profit center only on the second row when we add a item and not when we select the first item? Any suggestions..
    The fms used is
    SELECT $[DLN1.CogsOcrCod]
    which is set to display saved user defined values.
    Thanks,
    Joseph

    Hi!
    In whcih document you have this FMS.
    Is the FMS is  auto refresh ? On which field it is been set for refresh
    When you click the magnifier on First row, did the FMS is working ?
    Change your Auto refresh field and check.
    If you are using Copy From or Copy To option , there is a chance of not triggering the FMS

  • Withholding tax based on segments/profit center

    Hello Friends
    Iam developing withholding tax report for our FI module.I need to show report based on segments which are our different company offices.Now WITH_ITEM table does not has segment otherwise I would have directly picked data from WITH-ITEM. .Iam using this complex logic,which I have a feeling is not the right way and is taking lot of time to run.
    My report logic  is as follows:
    First I pick from BKPF those documents which are vendor payments.
    SELECT * INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE ibkpf
             FROM bkpf
             WHERE bukrs =  p_bukrs
               AND gjahr =  p_gjahr
               AND belnr IN s_belnr
               AND blart IN ('KZ')
               AND budat IN s_budat.
    Next I find the invoice number against that payment number.
    LOOP AT ibkpf.
      SELECT SINGLE belnr FROM BSak
                            INTO v_belnr
                            WHERE bukrs =  p_bukrs
                              AND gjahr =  p_gjahr
                              AND augbl = ibkpf-belnr
                              AND BLART = 'KR'.
    Then I get the segment against that invoice and remove from internal table those values whose segment is different.
        SELECT SINGLE segment FROM bsis
                         INTO v_segment
                          WHERE bukrs =  p_bukrs
                            AND gjahr =  p_gjahr
                            AND belnr = v_belnr
                           AND segment = p_seg.
    IF sy-subrc NE 0.
          DELETE ibkpf.
       ENDIF.
      ENDLOOP.
    Now getting from with_iem data against the remaining document numbers.
    SELECT * FROM with_item FOR ALL ENTRIES IN ibkpf
         WHERE bukrs     = p_bukrs
           AND belnr     = ibkpf-belnr
           AND gjahr     = p_gjahr
           AND wt_acco   IN s_lifnr
           AND wt_withcd IN s_taxc
           AND witht     IN S_WITHT.
    If some one has experience in withholding tax reports,he can check my code and suggest some other logic as our data base is not too heavy at this time still report is very slow.
    Thank you

    Hi Nouman,
    For performance related issue,please select only required entries because use of *SELECT ** will degrade its performance.

  • Change company code based on profit center at line item level in FB50

    Hi All,
    Following is my requirement, would be thankful if anyone can provide inputs on the same.
    When posting documents through FB50, In line item table control company code column gets un-editable ones correct entries are entered for that line. But after this if we want to change the profit center which belongs to different company code system throws error and makes company code column un-editable. In this situation there is no option left for user to correct the values unless he deletes the current line and creates a new one.
    Here can we make the company code field always editable?
    If not can we update the company code based on the profit center entered on that line item?
    I looked for exits but couldn't find any, validation and substitution are also not working because error message thrown by SAP is getting triggered before the substitution or validation code is executed.
    Please drop in your comments/inputs.
    Thanks in advance.
    Lucky.

  • 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.

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

  • Profit Center Hierarchy Variable-Prompt

    Hello,
    I'm using a heirarchy variable in BEx 7.0 query designer that is based on a profit center hierarchy object. When I execute the query, and I get prompted to choose nodes of the hierarchy, I'm only able to "include" nodes but I'm not able to "exlcude" nodes. Any ideas?
    Thanks!
    Michelle

    Remove the varaible for the hierarchy and try executing it.
    If you remove the Hierarchy variable from the query and execute the query ,user should only get the nodes to which he is restticted it could be 1 node or multiple.
    Hope you had kept Type of Authorization = " 1" Subtree below nodes in RSECADMIN of the auth object for profit center for the particular node
    Hope it Helps

  • Profit center at GR IR Clearing Account - MIGO (Account Assignment Q)

    Dear all,
    We are implementing SAP into a Real estate business client and based on requirements from the Finance we have agreed to have profit centre level balance sheet for each of tower
    Hence lets take an example
    There is a project with PC1 (Common Costs) and 3 buildings (PC2, PC3 and PC4 for each building). We have one plant for one project and hence in material master plant is given as PC1.
    If we procure Raw materials specific to each building (account assignment Q) with WBS element of tower one and PC2 defined in account assignment of WBS master data, below is the mentioned entry which I am getting
    Inventory A/c Dr. PC2
    Clearing A/c Dr. PC1
              To GR IR Clearing PC1
               To Clearing A/c     PC2
    Profit center document splitting and zero balancing is active in my scenario
    My issue is that GR IR Clearing should not take profit center from MM master, however it should override profit center of WBS element if procurement is done with account assignment Q
    Request you to give your thoughts
    Thanks
    Nishu

    Hi Kavita,
    The purpose of creating profit center for each tower was to identify vendors / customers balance from Finance through profit center reporting
    As mentioned in above scenario it does not makes sense to have inventory at tower profit center and GR / IR or vendor at HO Profit center
    Any method available with which we can bypass material master profit center through document splitting or account assignment setting in material master.
    My MM team is also working on it and they are not keen to have one plant for one profit center. Hence we are looking to find a workaround for the above situation
    Thanks

  • Profit Center determination for Stock G/L accounts

    Hello,
    The scenario is as follows:
    A single G/L account is defined in our system for Finished Goods. FI documents resulting from material movements are posted to this account in PCA, i.e. table GLPCA shows material document numbers in the reference document field along with the corresponding movement types for this account.
    There are a large number of materials with Profit Center 10000 (Industry General) defined in the material master record. All postings to the G/L in question are currently being made against the Profit Center defined in material master. There are also two other Profit Centers defined in the system; 10001 (Industry Motors) and 10002 (Industry Others). The business requirement is that all materials are common to both segments, but the Profit Center should be determined from the sale, i.e. if a material is sold to an Industry Motors customer the Profit Center should be 10001, otherwise it should be 10002.
    For the revenue G/L account which is hit at the time of posting of the invoice, a substitution has been configured that determines the appropriate Profit Center from the division specified in the invoice; there are two divisions for Motors and Others respectively. For the stock G/L however, all postings are made to Profit Center 10000 as defined in the material master record.
    Since the stock G/L will show postings from all goods movements, including GR, initial entry, GI for delivery, etc., and all materials are common, it is clearly not possible to completely segregate all postings to 10001 and 10002. For example, GR will always be posted to 10000 (General) as it is not known whether this should be in 10001 or 10002 till the time of sale. However, for sales movement type (Goods Issue delivery) at least, postings shoud be made to the appropriate specific Profit Center. For the remaining postings, the business applies a calculated ratio to the acumulated balance.
    For the stock G/L, is it possible to derive Profit Center for outward goods movements based on invoice? For example, 1000 USD worth of stock is posted to the G/L in PCA with movement type 101 and Profit Center 10000. 200 USD worth of stock is sold under Motors and 400 USD worth is sold under others. Entries in GLPCA should be:
    G/L            Balance  Profit Center     Movement Type
    31000000   1000       10000              101
    31000000   200         10001              601
    31000000   400         10002              601
    So from this it is easily possible to determine that 200 USD worth of stock has been sold under Motors, 400 USD worth under Others, and 400 USD worth of stock remains unsold.
    A solution for this is required. If anyone can think of any other way to accomplish this as well, please share your suggestions. Thanks!
    Regards,
    Khan

    to arrive the profit center at a time of Goods Movment, select the cost center for Industry Motor before to that do the settings in OKB9 for the Cost element a default Profit Center for Cost center.
    Hope this helps u in resolve the issue.

  • Automatic Posting accounts are posting to Dummy Profit center....

    Hi experts....
    We are configured New GL
    Generally we are creating Customer Invoice (T. Code: VA02) and
    Vendor Invoice (T Code. MIRO) for WBS Element only. While posting the
    customer/Vendor Invoice System is not checking that CO Object (WBS
    Element) in main line item (Sales/GRIR) as well as Automatic Account
    assignment setting (T. code: OKB9). System is showing the Error. If
    that G/L Account is not a cost element then system is posting to DUMMY
    Profit Center in place profit center assign to that WBS Element
    Requirement:
    We need to post tax and Customer/Vendor line items in document
    against WBS Element which should be picked up from Sales/GRIR Line Item
    of the same document. If there is no CO Object (WBS Element/Cost
    Center) in Sales/GRIR line item in document then based on Automatic
    Account assignment configuration (Valuation Area is Mandatory) system
    has to post to Cost Center/Profit Center
    We are not maintained any derivation rule of PC & Edit Constants for Nonassigned Processes in New gl config. then also system posting to Dummy PC only.
    We can delete that dummy?
    or any configuration changes needs for it. plz give me ur valuable suggestions
    Please Do needful
    Thanks
    Bhagiradha

    Hi,
    You have to maintain Dummy profit center, it is mandatorily for configuring profit center accounting . If u have not maintain Default profit center to that cost element, it will directly flow to Dummy Profit center. Better to maintain default profit center and u cannot delete  the Dummy profit center.

  • Post Goods Issue Accounting Entry & Profit Center Updation???

    Dear All,
    At the time of Post Goods issue it generates an accountng entry.
    we are getting an error related to Profit center.
    we maintained profit center in the sales order. and please clarify me can we create cost element for COGS account which hits at this level.
    I am getting the following errror.
    Balancing field "Profit Center" in line item 001 not filled
    Message no. GLT2201
    Diagnosis
    The field Profit Center marked as balancing is not filled with any value in line item 001, even after document splitting.
    System Response
    The document cannot be posted.
    Procedure
    First check your entries.
    Additional causes could be:
    No value can be derived for this field from the current document data.
    You have entered a document type that is not designed for this business purpose.
    Procedure for System Administration
    Customizing
    But we need profit cener wise balance sheet.
    so please guide me.
    regards,
    shashi kanth.

    If you define document splitting criteria based on Profit Center and if your document contains multiple line items with different profit center, this type of error will come.
    To check this, Go to IMG Path -- Financial Accounting (New) --> General Ledger Accounting (New) --> Document Splitting --> Define Document Splitting Characteristics for General Ledger
    There check whether the mandatory check box is selected for profit Center.  So check in your delivery document, whether any line item does not have profit center.
    You can also have a look at any of the following notes
    a)  995055
    b)  1074689
    c)  1079819

  • Automatic clearing of VAT accounts as criterion Profit center

    Hello all,
    We are trying to make automatic clearing for our VAT GL Accounts thru transaction F.13 and the criterion Profit center on table TF123.
    The requirement is to clear the VAT line items form invoices against the documents generated by standard VAT declaration S_ALR_87012357.
    This is not working as the profit center is not populated in Bseg on VAT line items, only in FAGLFLEXT.
    How can we clear the VAT line items based on profit center automatically, is anyone already done this ?
    Thank you
    Tamim

    Thank you Mahesh,
    The posting document generated by VAT declaration regroups many VAT postings, example
    If I have 10 Invoices with VAT (each invoice with different Assignment), the VAT declaration will generate only 1 document, and regroup the different invoices VAT amount  by profit center.
    That's why assignment is different between VAT line item, and VAT declaration document line items.
    Also, we do not have PO number most of the cases.
    We really need clearing on profit center as it seem the only shared value.
    Is there a solution for this issue ?

  • DOC Splitting in New GL and Profit center accounting activation

    Dear All,
    I am in a dilemma regarding the following -
    We are activating doc splitting with profit center and segment as characteristics.
    1) While maintaining Controlling area settings(OKKP) - do we need to activate "Profit Center Accounting" component?
    2) Similarly, in IMG-Controlling - Profit Center Accounting- Basic Settings-Controlling Area Settings-Maintain Controlling Area Settings (0ke5), do we need to maintain any settings?
    I am of the opinion that ,based on the SAP Note - 826357, that we need not activate PC accounting as it is built into New GL Accounting.
    I am also of the opinion, again based on the note, that we can use classic PC accounting, but the note recommends and I quote
    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, and in the case of active document splitting, the update response changes.
    But I am not able to come to a conclusion.
    In earlier  implementations, I activated PC accounting in OKK5 in New GL doc split scenario. So keeping that in mind, pl guide me.
    Thanks & regards,
    Gov

    ...............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.

  • Profit center accounting   activation for  3KEH  to  work

    Hi
    I  have   document splitting  activated, where I  have  sent  the constant  as  PC -  Dummy.
    Now in  3KEH - GL acct    interval    for  PC ,  I  have  defined  B/s account   and also  defined  different PC  for the same.
    But  when  I   have  transaction   using the  GL  in  3KEH,  it  takes   the    DUMMY  PC  and  not  the one  defined in  3KEH.
    So  I    unticked  the  standard  assignment in  Document spliting  and  in  which  case  , there is  NO  profit center  picked.
    Pl  advise  whether   I  have to  activate  PC Accounting in  controlling, so  that   3KEH  works.
    Thanks

    HI
    Even  though  I  activate  PCA,  the  system   uses the setting defined in   'activate  docu splitting'  ie  the  constant.
    There  must be   some logic   on  when  the     assignment  of  GL  acct    to  PC based on derivation rule    in  3KEH  will   apply.  Does it  apply only to  FI  transactions,  or   even to  the  FI  docu  generated  from  other  modules.    From  the testing in F-02 or  FB60,   I  do not see    the  3KEH  setting  being  used.   System   reads   the   one in   'activate docu splitting'.
    Thanks   for  any  input on the above.
