Account Recievables Extractor and Profit Center

Hi Gurus,
I have a requirement of creating an Aging report ( which i am planning will be based on AR DataSource , 0fi_ar_4).
Now , i have a requirement to show the Profit Center data in this report.
I am not sure how to go ahead with this. If anybody has any suggestions please pass it on.
Regards,
Dennis

Dennis we are going to need some more info on this
Have you got ECC6 segment ledgers set up for AR and does those post the AR side of the posting to the individual profit centres
IF you are not using segment ledgers then because of the way FI documents are posted you CANNOT add profit centre to the report
This is the reason why
Example FI journal
dr Customer 117.50
cr VAT        17.50 default profit centre
cr revenue    50.00 profit centre A
cr revenue    50.00 profit centre B
Now all you have in the AR4 extractor is the 117.50
The way R3 handles this is that you have a special job which posts via 1KEK or 1KES (I forget which) at month end into the PCA ledger the net balance but not aged per profit centre for the AR sub ledger
(this month end job is one of the reasons that PCA is being replaced by segment ledgers in ECC6 - 30 days is too late to produce a "segmented" balance sheet as per the IAS 14 and SoX regulations) anyway....
Unless your process says - there is a 1:1 mapping between each debtor posting and a revenue posting and that revenue posting cannot to be more than 1 profit centre (HIGHLY unlikely)..
then unfortunately you cannot produce the report
Somebody has seriously messed up the FICO config andd esign if they request this at the end of the project and haven't designed segment ledgers to handle this...
(you could have a look at the 0EC_PCA_1 extractors for the PRC4 activity type for the month end postings - but i seriously dount whether the month end PCA jobs are posting document by document - 99% of the time they post by total customer balance and that is not aged)
Sorry!
(note: I have had a similar requirement in one of my past projects - the way I did it was to allocate a customer to a "profit centre" - this I did by utisling one of the user defined fields on the customer master and allocating that customer to that "grouping" - ie not physically a profit centre but some sort of grouping that resembled a profit centre - this of course can only happen if logically you can do this irrsptive of the revenue postings to other "profit centres")

WBS, Business Area and Profit Center not flowing in GR/IR Account

Hello Experts,
I have come across a very strange situation. I have two MIGO documents which are showing different posting characteristics:
1) FI Document 5000000553
In this document, the Business area and profit center is flowing in GR/IR Clearing Account (15660000) but WBS element is not flowing to this line item.
Screen shot is as follows:-
As you can see from the above screen shot that, for GR/IR Account 15660000. Only Business Area and Profit Center are flowing and WBS Element is not coming.
2. FI Document 5000015602
In this document, the WBS element is going in GR/IR Clearing Account (15660000) but Business area and profit center is not flowing to this line item
Screen Shot is as follows:-
From the above screen shot, Business Area and Profit Center are not flowing but WBS Element is coming.
Could you please let me know what could be the possible reason for this behavior of both the documents.?
Regards,
Amit

Hi Saurabh,
Its great to see your reply. Yes, I know that currencies and posting dates are different. But that's the way it is. One document is for fiscal year 2014 and other is for 2013. There is nothing related to currency and posting date which was causing the strange behavior of the system.
However, our team analyzed the issue and found that only for service material having a special valuation type related to services is causing the problem and still we are diagnosing the other possible root cause as well.
Thanks for your co-operation and suggestion.

Amit

Link between G/L Account and profit center

Hello dear all,
I have an issue in Intra-company process.
I made 2 customer payment for 2 different company code:
1/ Company 1000: i have 2 line items posted (in G/L View)
2/ Company 2000: For the same Cash account and the same customer account used in my first case (with company 1000) i have 4 line item posted in the G/L view and with different " PARTNER PROFIT CENTER"
I do not know wher can i find in customizing the link between G/L Account and Profit center ?
Thank you in advance

The document splitting is active in your company, at the same time, the "zero balance" for profit center is activated in your doc split characteristics. In order to balance the profit center in General View, it creates another line item for balancing it which is the zero balancing account or split the cash account according to profit center assignment. For some cases, they are split equally that is why it is best that you assign the profit center in the cash account upfront and create line item for each payment with different profit center assignment.
For instance, there are two customer line items with different profit center assignment
Customer Line Item 1 = Assigned to Profit Center 2000 amount 500
Customer Line Item 2 = Assigned to Profit Center 3000 amount 500
When I post a payment of 1000, the Entry View is
Cash                 1000
    Customer                1000
GL View
Cash       PC 2000       500
     Customer PC 2000         500
Cash      PC 3000        500
     Customer PC 3000          500

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.

Cost Element and Profit center accounting

hi to all,
in my production system, most of PL accouts have been created as cost element. but some revenue and COGS accounts have not been created even there existed transaction data.
now i want to create all PL accounts as cost elements. revenue (category is 11) and COGS(category is 12) accounts link with Logistic, so i am not sure the effluence in the auto posting with Logistics. if there is any problem?
by the way, after create all PL accounts as cost element, i want all the transaction data for PL account can flow into profit center accounting because i want to generate profit center PL report. what shoul i do? set the profit center field mandatory or set Substitution? or some more reasonable solutions ?
expect your valuable suggestion/
thanks in advance
Ivan

Hi,
After creating P/L accounts as cost element when ever you will post to that account it will ask for posting to true CO object it can be a real cost center, real internal order or profitability segment etc.
If you want all P/L account to post to profit center, you can set profit center field mandatory and you can enter profit center manually.If your CO account assignment is cost center System can also derive profit center from cost center master data.and OKB9 is more option which u can make use of.

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?
Thanking you

Change the Accounting document fields cost center and profit center

Dear Experts,
User has posted document with wrong profit center
For that we subjected that he can go to the profit center actual posting T.Code 9ke0 but with that he can only change the Profit center document with that there is no accounting side updating
I have tried with Document Change Rules, Line Item for fields cost center and profit center in that while configuring I did not get any error message,
But in the document I am unable to changing the same fields cost center and profit center
Can any body please guide me to resolve the issue?
Essentially I want to change the Accounting document fields cost center and profit center
Thanks in Advance,
Wiswanath

Hello,
Once the documents are posted in FI module, the system doesn't allow anybody to change the cost objects (cost center, profit center, internal order). The only fields you can change through FB02 transaction are the Line item text (BSEG-SGTXT) and the assignment (BSEG-ZUONR).
If you want to get a change to the cost object to be reflected from FI to CO, you should reverse the FI documents with wrong cost objects and post new documents with correct cost center, profit center.
Hope it helps you.
Cheers,
Daniel.

Cost center and profit center details

Hi All
Is there any function module or BAPI to obtain cost center and profit center details
for a GL account. Actually I am obtaining the carry forward balance for a
fiscal year from the table GLT0 but I am not getting the corresponding profit center
and cost center details.
Please suggest a way forward!
Regards
Ankit

Hi,
If you are getting data from GLT0 table, using the Account number go to SKA1/SKB1 tables and get the CostCenter(KOSTL) and Profit Center(PRCTR). If you want to get details about CostCenter, its master table is CSKS and master table for Profit Center is CEPC. you can get required info from these tables.
thanks,

Assign manual cost and profit center for 3rd party purchase order

When we have a 3rd party purchase order we need to assign OUR cost and profit center to that document. Here is the scenario:
We buy a product from a vendor for $10 and then re-sell the product to a customer for $100. Instead of posting this information to either cost or profit center of the vendor and customer, we need to assign the $10 to our company cost center and the $90 to our company's profit center. We are basically acting as a middle man for selling a product.
I am fairly a newbie, so please provide detailed answers if possible. We create the sales order in VA01 and create the purchase order in ME22N.

HI Kapil,
For any accounting entry you need to define a General Ledger Account where the details (Amount) of the transaction will be stored.
Just by maintaining cost centre will not help in completing any transaction involving accounts. So you need to maintain G/L account in the controlling area of your company code.
You can use T Code FS00 to create new G/L account in the chart of accounts.
In the edit cost element Tab you can give the cost center that you want.
I hope this helps.
thanks

Business area and profit center

plz can anyone explain me what is the diffrence between business area and profit center.

Business Area is a type of organizational unit structure, primarily used to facilitate external segment reporting across company codes, covering the company's main areas of operation. Business Areas run across company codes. The relationship is n:n. Business Area is part of FI.
Profit Center is also a type of organization unit structure, used for management/ internal controlling purposes. Dividing the company up into profit centers allows one to analyze areas of responsibility and to delegate responsibility to decentralized units, thus treating them as companies within the company. The profit centers also run across company codes. The relationship is n:n. Profit Center Accounting is part of Enterprise Controlling.
While it may look apprantly that both Business Area and Profit Center do the same kind of analysis and reporting, with in SAP internal architecture they are kept in different modules and different tables.
SAP Note 321190 provides the difference betwen Business Area and Profit Center, which you can get from SAP Service Market place.
SAP has maintained Business Area from 4.6B onwards, while there are enhancements happening in Profit Center side.
