Activate Classic PCA
Hi Gurus,
How to Deactivate PCA accounting in ECC6 (the menu path). Need to activate Document splitting
Gowsi
No you shall not activate PCA when running the New G/L. The PCA tables GLPCT and GLPCA for example will not be populated with transactional data. However you will continue to use some of the PCA menu items like creating master data.

Hi experts,
Currently we are in the midst of rolling out NewGL project for the customer who is on classic PCA now. In the NewGL, we are going to activate the document splitting for Profit center and segments. Functionality point of view, the client is required the NewGL.
But during our assessment, we went throug the 8A Ledger (Classic PCA) reports and the new GL standard reports, suddenly found that all the classic fields are not available in the NewGL reports. In the NewGL, whatever the standard fields that has been provided by SAP for FI module, those will be applicable to PCA evaluations such as Cost center, WBS and so on. In New PCA, typically the field selection is only limited to the additional account assignments or coding block only. But in the current classic 8A reports, they have the complete logistics/CO info such as sales office, sales organization, cost element organization, stical key figures etc where as in the NewGL, SAP is not given these fields in the additional account assignments.
I went through some of the SAP documentation where I saw that there are some user exits to bring the billing info to the accounting documents (OSS note 301077), but how far the requirement is fulfilling with these user exits I do not know.
Can somebody please give me clarity on the compatability of field selections between classic PCA and New PCA including the customer fields' technicallimitations as it is going to be a showstopper for our project. And is it possible to migrate the line item report painter reports to new GL? Can we meet the reporting requirements by report painter tool in NewGL?
Looking for your valuable inputs regarding
Thanks
RamkiHi,
old PCA report painter reports can be migrated to NewGL reports under certain circumstances (see SAPNET note 1555535 for details).
As the NewGL PC reporting bases on the data available in the new GL tables FAGLFLEX* I think that you will miss some infos in NewGL PC reporting compared to infos available in classic PCA reporting (eg object type / object class).
Nevertheless it is possible to add fields toFAGLFLEX* but I doubt that this will be helpful in your case.

Can we activate Classic General Ledger in ECC6.0 during upgrade from 4.6C
Dear SAP Gurus,
Greetings
My Client's technical team had upgraded their system from 4.6C to ECC6.0 and they had activated classic GL instead of New GL. And they had also activated classic withholding tax in place of Extended Withholding tax.
They are facing some error during posting of transactions (like generation of excise invoices, posting of WHT transactions, etc.) I told that it can be a reason of not activating New GL.
Is my understanding correct...?? Can we activate classic GL during upgrade from 4.6C to ECC6.0...??
In case of a new client built (with ECC6.0), can we activate the classic GL instead of the New GL..??
Does the system will work correctly in the long run if they had activated classic GL and classic WHT...??
Please clarify. Thanks in advance for your time and efforts
Regards,
Chaps
P.S. Points will be awarded for answers !!Hi,
I think that you should read long text of OSS note 999614 carfully and you are
aware of the fact that you will have additional migration efforts in
case you need to migrate to new G/L later on.
In case you are convinced that this is the best way please feel free
to deactivate new G/L as described in note 999614.
Please make sure that you deactivate new G/L in all clients of your
new system in case there were already client copies done.
Yes this is possible and I would not automatically assume that
error during posting of transactions are due to New GL not being activated.
Note 756146 documents the issue and possible repercussions
of using Classic GL.
In the case of a new installation the new G/L accounting
is active by default in ERP. In principle, the use
of the classic GL is also possible for new customers, however,
SAP does not recommend it since this requires an additional
migration expense in later years.

Split the vendor lines by PCA in Classic PCA
Hi,
We are in ECC and not activated new GL and going with Classic PCA.
Requriement:
Accounts payable side user wants to split the vendor (reconciliation) account based on expenditure items PCA.
I know through NEW GL PCA its possible but due to some technical reasons we are not advising that.
Can any one please let me know if there is any way to do this. I checked in 1KEK but its for bothe AR and AP, requirement is only for AP.
Is there any user exit that we can use for this.
Thanks,The entry looks strange. I guess your entry is
Dr. Expense
Cr. Cash
The expense gets posted to a cost center if you key in cost center as an account assignment object and if the expense a/c. is created as a primary cost element. The cash account CANNOT have a cost element behind it, as it is a Balance Sheet Account.
Now, coming to having the values in PCA, your cost center master can have a profit center assigned to it (check in T Code KS02). Regarding having profit center on the cash account line item, go to FS00 and check the field status group of your cash account in Create/bank/interest tab. Double click on the FSG and check in 'Additional account assignments' group if the field 'Profit center' is optional or not. If not, make it optional and enter profit center when you post FI documents on your cash account. -

Differece bet GLPCA and GLPCT in ECC 6 with classic PCA
Hi Ajay and Experts,
Thank you for helping me till now for all the issues in COPC and COPA we are all set.
I found once issue in PCA today as below, can anyone please give inputs.
I have reviewed all the threads but i want to specify my case first.
We are in ECC 6.0 with Classic PCA.
We are using Sales order substituion to get the PCA based on Region.
User dowsnot want to use transactions iKEK etc., for Balance transfers.
We crated on e kind of dummy PCA and assigned in 3KEH so all the balance sheet accounts posting with same.
we are trying get balances from GLPCT.
I observed the line items are getting updated in GLPCA but not in GLPCT, so our report get failed.
Can you please help me as early as possible.
Thanks,
SudhaHi,
My problem is resolved.
Actually the values in GLPCA and GLPCT are getting updated as expected.
The problem is with my custom report, i have identified and working with my technical team.
Thanks,

Dear friends,
I am on upgrade project from 4.7 to ECC6.
my clients wants to use PCA with new Gl. Now they don't want to use classic PCA.
Please suggest me what steps I need to take. Tell me the detail procedure.
Please let me know what are the implication of this.
Thanks & regards,
Reva.Thanks you all for your prompt response.
But i am confuse little bit on profit center heirarchy.
My client has classic PCA heirarchy. what should I do with that. Should I use same heirarchy for new PCA or I have to create new PCA heirarchy.
if anyone have the config doc for new PCA, please send to me on [email protected]
Thanks & Regards,

Classic PCA reports in New GL environment.
Hi,
We have now implemented New GL. Also applied EHP3 . In EHP3 enviornment, there is a facility by which we can convert classic PCA reports (report tree : KE5A) into new GL, that is, practically changing the tables from GLPCT to FAGLFLEXT. This helps us in not re-creating those reports.
I have converted two reports into the New Tables. But, I am not able to see these reports seperately. That is, classic PCA reports can be accessed through KE5A transaction. What about these convered reports ?
Please advice me how to access these reports (New GL converted reports). Is there any transaction code like KE5A?
Till, classic PCA is deactivated, both will run parallelly.

How to activate classic scenario?
Dear experts,
What are the generic settings required to activate classic scenario?Are there other settings required other than below?
1. If extended classic scenario is not activated in global mode:
a. Replicate product categories from ERP backend to SRM system.
b. Define an ERP backend system as the target system for the product categories.
c. Define backend Objects for the product categories (based on Purchasing group and source system).
Does any additional settings required for classic scenario?
2. If there is global activation of extended classic scenario?
a. In such cases, We need to take care of BAdi 'BBP_EXT_LOC_PO' and 'BBP_Det_Logsys'.
Do we need any other additional settings?
Thanks in advance,
RanjanClassic scenario is the default scenario unless you have activated the Extended Classic. If you do not need Extended classic then you do not need to activate the Extended Classic and deal with BADI's BBP_EXTLOCALPO_BADI, BBP_TARGET_OBJECTS,BBP_TARGET_OBJTYPE.
If the need is only to implement Classic Scenario accross the board then the steps are good to start with.

Hi Experts,
Basic doubt : I'm working in ECC 6 with new GL. I'm not using any non leading ledger but i have activated document splitting which is working fine. Now doubt is whether i need to do the configurations in PCA node and activate the profit center accounting in 0KE5 (Controlling area settings).
As far as i read the docs, they say it's not advisable to activate PCA in New due to data volumes. which means that "profit center document will not be posted any more if i do not activate . Are there any other side affects to this?
My requirement as far as PCA is concerned is to have a P/L account and Balance sheet at profit center level. Is this achievable without posting PCA documents? Do i need to use any special transactions other than usual financial statement ones to generate PC level P/L and Balancesheet ?
Best Regards
VimalIf you are using New GL and PRCTR is a mandatory field for Splitting, you have standard T Codes to generate Financial Statements in New GL at Profit Center Level

How to activate Classic on 10.4.11
Just got 10.4.7 and installed and upgraded to 10.4.11 OK. Loaded a lot of applications OK. Now I need to run an old application under Classic. Cannot use my 10.4.7 install disk as I'm now on 10.4.11. I have copied a valid 9.2 system file across (one which works with 10.3.9) but Classic will not start. Any help would be much appreciated.
Booting into 9 and using Classic are two different things, though both can be done from the same Mac OS 9 system folder if the Mac supports it.
In the time period 2003 to 2006 new Macs were released that were in a limbo state of being able to use Classic, but not being able to boot into 9.
Classic is the environment that is launched when you are in Mac OS X and double click on a Mac OS 9 only application, or a Mac OS X application whose Get Info box has been checked to launch in the Classic environment, or Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Classic has been told to launch at a specific time, or the Mac OS 9 menu in the upper right is told to launch. It allows Mac OS 9 and Mac OS X applications to run side by side without rebooting. It does have limited driver support for Mac OS 9 compatible printers and scanners. The iBook G4 can do this, and so can any PowerMac G4 and PowerMac G5 with 10.4.11 or earlier.
Booting into Mac OS 9 is what is done when you go to Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Startup Disk and select a Mac OS 9 system folder, and click on restart and get the Mac OS 9 splash screen upon doing that. The iBook G4 was not capable of this, but the iBook G3 was. PowerMac G4s that are MDD with no Firewire 800 can do it, but PowerMac G4s that have Firewire 800 can't do it.
When booting into Mac OS 9, the full library of Mac OS 9 compatible printer and scanner drivers is available to you. Leopard, 10.5, does not limit the booting of 9 on those machines that support it, but only a handful of Macs support both Leopard and booting into 9.

Hello Folks,
We are putting ECC with NEW GL from scratch, and will be using Profit Center as Main Driver for reporting. Will activating FIN_PCA and Document Split be sufficient, or we also need to activate classic PCA in Controlling as well, what advantage will that give to us, or its that we are safe not to do it.
Thanks
BallaNo you shall not activate PCA when running the New G/L. The PCA tables GLPCT and GLPCA for example will not be populated with transactional data. However you will continue to use some of the PCA menu items like creating master data.

Determining which PCA to use between new-GL and classic EC-PCA
I tried to use 1kek to transfer AR and AP from FI to PCA but failed with message saying "Document Splitting is Activated".
We are considering using PCA to make B/S and P/L of several business unit in a company. We are using SAP 6.0. After looking for the references, I understood that I can use new-GL or EC-PCA(classic PCA) for Profit Center Accounting. I wonder which way is the best and easiest one to achieve my company's object.
As I understood if I activate document splitting, it means I use new-GL for PCA, and I should use table FAGLFLEXA of FI instead of GLPCA of EC-PCA.
I'd like to use new-GL because it's "new" and convenient, hopefully. But I found several problems using new-GL to make financial reports.
The first problem was that I couldn't make allocation with accounts which cannot be manually input like AA accounts(Building, Machine, etc.), AR/AP or materials. When I operate transaction FAGLGA35, no effect occurs on those accounts.
And the second problem is that I couldn't find a way to make a report which has accounts list on its first column and profit center list on its first row. It's surely because I'm a newbie in SAP
I think everybody trying to use new_GL encounter this problem and it's wired because I couldn't find any thread about this.
And If I decide to use EC-PCA and make allocation on GLPCA, I think I should make some CBO to transfer AR/AP to EC-PCA. Is there any other possible solution?
I have a lot of things to ask but I'm not even sure what I know and don't.
Thanks for you guru's great help.The following notes will help you in understanding the set up of PCA in New GL with Classic PCA (EC-PCA): <b>OSS Norte no 826357</b>
You want to know
For release SAP ERP, the Profit Center Accounting was integrated into the new G/L accounting. The solution is as follows:
SAP delivers the 'Profit Center' and the 'Partner Profit Center' as fixed characteristics that are posted on the original FI postings. The data is not updated in another ledger as in the classic Profit Center Accounting.
As a result of integration of the Profit Center Accounting into the new G/L accounting, new functions such as 'Document Splitting' are available. Using the function 'Document Splitting' (online document split), you can create balance sheets for company codes as well as for other entities such as the profit center. The balance is then set to 0 for each document for the profit center.
Integrating the G/L accounting and the Profit Center Accounting into the one application also removes the time and effort needed to reconcile G/L accounting and PCA.
When implementing the new G/L accounting in Release SAP ERP, we recommend that all new customers map the Profit Center within the new G/L accounting by activating the scenario FIN_PCA (profit center update). It is not advisable to activate the classic Profit Center Accounting in parallel and consequently update parallel data volumes.
Detailed information about setting Profit Center Accounting in the New General Ledger:
Define the update of the characteristics 'Profit Center' and 'Partner Profit Center' in the ledger by selecting the scenario 'Profit center update' (Customizing: Financial Accounting (New) -> Financial Accounting Basic Settings (New) -> Ledgers -> Ledger -> Assign Scenarios and Customer-Defined Fields to Ledgers).
If you want to use the document splitting, you can define the field 'Profit center' as a splitting characteristic in the document splitting (Customizing: Financial Accounting (New) -> General Ledger Accounting (New) -> Business Transactions -> Document Splitting -> Define Document Splitting Characteristics for General Ledger Accounting). Set the 'Zero balance' indicator again for the added field 'Profit Center'. You can now create balance sheets on the profit center. You must also activate the Mandatory Field check to ensure that the profit center is set in all postings. If you want to display balance sheet items at profit center level (for example, receivables and payables) but you do not require complete balance sheets, we recommend that you do not set the indicator 'Zero balance' and 'Mandatory Field check'.
If you already used classic Profit Center Accounting as an SAP R/3 customer but you now want to use Profit Center Accounting in the new general ledger, you can continue to use classic Profit Center Accounting in parallel to the profit center update scenario in the new G/L accounting in the interim. However, 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.
However, if the classic Profit Center Accounting continues to play a leading role for you, we recommend that you do not activate the document splitting in the new G/L accounting, and not for other entities such as the segment either. This is because the classic Profit Center Accounting uses certain functions of the classic general ledger that are no longer available with active document splitting (for example, transaction F.5D, Calculate Balance Sheet Adjustment).
See the following information for details about the differences between the function of PCA in new G/L accounting and in classic PCA and for details about the effects of new G/L accounting on the posting behavior in classic PCA. Even if mapped into new G/L accounting, PCA always occurs within a controlling area. SAP does not support cross-controlling area PCA. The derivation of profit center and partner profit center with the different business processes when you use the new G/L Accounting is identical to the classic Profit Center Accounting. Details about the differences are available in the following.
1. Set the proposal profit center for additional balance sheet and P&L accounts.
Release SAP ERP 2004:
Profit center scenario in the new G/L accounting is active, classic Profit Center Accounting is not active: If you have to set a profit center on balance sheet and P&L accounts, make entries manually, use FI substitution or implement the BADI AC_DOCUMENT. Note that the system calls the BADI AC_DOCUMENT only for postings using the accounting interface (for example, MM and SD postings), but it is not called for FI postings.
Profit center scenario in new G/L accounting and classic PCA is active: Transactions 3KEH and 3KEI are available in the classic Profit Center Accounting for maintaining a proposal profit center for balance sheet accounts and P&L accounts. Transactions 3KEH and 3KEI also exist in SAP ERP2004 and function in the same way as in R/3: In other words, you can use the settings in transaction 3KEH to control the update in classic Profit Center Accounting, and the transactions set a proposal profit center where necessary. Keep in mind that the profit center information is therefore affected in new G/L accounting by settings in classic Profit Center Accounting.
Release SAP ERP 2005:
Transactions 3KEH and 3KEI (from classic Profit Center Accounting) for maintaining proposal profit centers for balance sheet and P&L accounts are no longer used to set the profit center.
Profit center scenario in the new G/L accounting is active, classic Profit Center Accounting is not active: If you have to set a profit center on balance sheet and P&L accounts, make entries manually, use FI substitution or implement the BADI AC_DOCUMENT. Note that the system calls the BADI AC_DOCUMENT only for postings using the accounting interface (for example, MM and SD postings), but it is not called for FI postings. In addition, the new transaction FAGL3KEH and the BAdI FAGL_3KEH_DEFPRCTR are available for maintaining proposal profit centers. You can use these new functions to determine a proposal profit center depending on the company code and the account. Note that this proposal profit center does not appear on the input screen; it is derived only when you post the document. The proposal profit center is used if the line item does not contain a CO account assignment and if the profit center was not already determined elsewhere.
Profit center scenario in new G/L accounting and classic Profit Center Accounting are active: The entries of transaction 3KEH control ONLY the transfer of line items to classic Profit Center Accounting. Transaction 3KEI is no longer relevant. To set the profit center, use the options which are available in the new G/L accounting (make entries manually, use FI substitution, or implement the BADI AC_DOCUMENT).
2. Derivation of the partner profit center
Release SAP ERP 2004:
Profit center scenario in the new G/L accounting is active, classic Profit Center Accounting is not active: Transactions 8KER/8KES are no longer available. Notes 997925 and 1087350 provide the functions from transaction OCCL. Alternatively, you can use the BAdI AC_DOCUMENT to set the partner profit center.
Profit center scenario in new G/L accounting and classic PCA is active: Transactions 8KER/8KES and OCCL (reading purchase order/sales order for affiliated companies) are active. However, we recommend that you no longer use transaction 8KER or 8KES. Partner profit centers derived using these transactions are available in both classic Profit Center Accounting and in New General Ledger Accounting only if the line is relevant in classic Profit Center Accounting.
Release SAP ERP 2005:
Profit center scenario in the new G/L accounting is active, classic Profit Center Accounting is not active: Transactions 8KER/8KES are no longer available. Notes 997925 and 1087350 provide the functions from transaction OCCL. Alternatively, you can use the BAdI AC_DOCUMENT or the new BAdI FAGL_DEFPPRCTR (enhancement spot FAGL_LEDGER_CUST_DEFPRCTR) with the method SET_DEFAULT_PART_PRCTR to set the partner profit center.
Profit center scenario in new G/L accounting and classic PCA is active: Transactions 8KER/8KES and OCCL are active. However, we recommend that you no longer use transaction 8KER or 8KES because partner profit centers derived using these transactions are available in both classic Profit Center Accounting and in New General Ledger Accounting only if the line is relevant in classic Profit Center Accounting. Instead, if required, you should use the BAdI FAGL_DEFPPRCTR to set the partner profit center. A partner profit center determined in this way is always updated both in new G/L accounting and in classic Profit Center Accounting.
3. Displaying receivables and payables for each profit center
Document splitting is active
The detailed information from the general ledger view about receivables and payables split online from the document splitting is NOT available for classic Profit Center Accounting. In this case, you CANNOT split receivables/payables nor follow-up costs subsequently (Transaction F.5D - report SAPF180A, Transaction F.50 - report SAPF181, Transaction F.05 - report SAPF100). This means that you CANNOT use transaction 1KEK to transfer receivables and payables to classic Profit Center Accounting. Follow-up costs split according to source can be transferred online to the classic Profit Center Accounting because these are already available in the data entry view.
Read the documentation of the document splitting carefully. Analyze in which cases you have to set default account assignments because the document splitting is sometimes prevented by default account assignments.
Document splitting is not active
In this case, you CANNOT display the receivables and payables according to source at profit center level within the new G/L accounting. However, you can use the old split of the receivables and payables within the classic Profit Center Accounting (transaction F.5D) as well as of the follow-up costs (transaction F.50), and you can use the periodic transfer of receivables and payables using transaction 1KEK. However, you can execute the new report for the foreign currency valuation of the open items (report FAGL_FC_VALUATION) with depreciation areas only, which means that the documents are no longer updated (valuation difference not updated in BSEG-BDIFF). As a result, transaction 1KEK copies only the original receivables/payables, independently of transaction 2KEM 'Account Valuation Differences'; in other words, the original data is not corrected by the valuation differences.
You can use the standard report groups 8A98 and 8A99 to display the open receivables and payables in classic Profit Center Accounting.
4. Periodic transfers of asset portfolios to classic Profit Center Accounting
As of Release 4. 7, it is possible to map a parallel reporting mapped in FI (for example, parallel accounts) for parallel depreciation areas in Asset Accounting by using particular settings (defining an accounting principle). You must stop the execution of transaction 1KEI because it would result in duplicated data in PCA because of postings to the same accounts. You must also stop transaction 1KEI with a 'different company code' or a 'different depreciation area in the different company code' because the data cannot be transferred correctly. Transaction 1KEI terminates with the error message KM 764. As of Release SAP ERP, if the new general ledger accounting is active, the system issues the message FAGL_LEDGER_CUST 076.
5. Dummy profit center on P&L accounts
You use transactions 3KEH and 3KEI to firstly try to determine a proposal profit center in classic Profit Center Accounting for document line items with a P&L account (no cost element) and without a profit center account assignment. If the system does not find a proposal profit center, the dummy profit center is set for some activities (primarily from Logistics). If the new G/L accounting is active AND if at least one of the two characteristics 'Profit Center' and 'Segment' is used in the document splitting, the routine for setting the dummy profit center will no longer run (see Note 820121 and 832776). Otherwise the document splitting would not split a document, or not split it correctly. The system must then find the profit center that is valid for the process using the document splitting or another derivation. If this is not the case, the document line item will not be updated in the classic Profit Center (document line items with Profit Center initial are not allowed in the classic Profit Center Accounting).
6. PCA additional rows
If you map Profit Center Accounting in new General Ledger Accounting in SAP ERP, you can use consulting note 937872 to update PCA additional lines recognized from classic Profit Center Accounting in new General Ledger Accounting.
If you use the transfer price functions, you do not require Note 937872 because the structure of the PCA additional lines are technically "true" and are automatically posted in new General Ledger Accounting when maintained in transaction 0KEK.
7. Substitution of profit centers in sales orders
Transactions 0KEL and 0KEM are available both in the classic Profit Center Accounting and in the new G/L accounting (Customizing: Financial Accounting (New) -> General Ledger Accounting (New) -> Tools -> Validation/Substitution)
8. Reporting
Line item reporting within the new G/L accounting
Release SAP ERP 2004: Even if document splitting is set with the characteristic Profit Center, only one restricted line item reporting to profit centers is available in this release at present. When you use the G/L account line item list of FI, you can limit profit centers for line item settlement G/L accounts that are not relevant for the document splitting. As of Support Package 10, line item reporting to profit centers and segments is available.
Release SAP ERP 2005: Line item reporting according to profit centers and segments is available.
Ledger reporting within the new G/L accounting
Release SAP ERP 2004: Even if the document splitting is set with the characteristic profit center or segment, no current account reporting to profit centers and segments is available up to Support Package 10. With Support Package 10, current account reporting according to profit centers and segments is available. Also see the detailed explanations for Release SAP ERP 2005.
Release SAP ERP 2005: Current account reporting according to profit centers and segments is available. It replaces the standard report groups 8A98/8A99 in earlier releases. However, the difference is that the foreign currency valuation correction is no longer displayed for each item because no update of the valuation in items occurs through the foreign currency valuation in the new general ledger (no BDIFF/BDIFF2 update). It is a key date-related valuation (mostly for the period end).
9. Transfer prices
The transfer price functions (multiple valuations) are available for new General Ledger Accounting as of SAP ERP 2005. For SAP ERP 2004, see the release restrictions in Note 741821. In SAP ERP 2004, you can use the transfer price functions or multiple valuation functions only if you have activated the classic General Ledger and classic Profit Center Accounting.
10. Creating the profit center standard hierarchy
Release SAP ERP 2004: You must create the highest node of the standard hierarchy in the Customizing of the classic Profit Center Accounting (transaction 0KE5), even if you are not using classic Profit Center Accounting.
Release SAP ERP 2005: To create the highest node of the standard hierarchy, use transaction SM30 with the maintenance view V_FAGL_PC_STHR.
11. Creating the dummy profit center
Classic Profit Center Accounting is active (regardless of whether classic G/L accounting or new G/L accounting is active):
If the classic Profit Center Accounting is active, you must create a dummy profit center to avoid postings with an initial profit center in the database tables of the classic PCA.
If the new G/L accounting is also active AND if you are using at least one of the two characteristics 'Profit Center' and 'Segment' in the document splitting, you have to ensure in Release SAP ERP 2004 that Notes 820121 and 832776 are included. In Release SAP ERP 2005, the changed posting logic is included from the beginning. Note that the update of document line items in classic Profit Center Accounting is omitted because of this.
Classic Profit Center Accounting is not active, New G/L Accounting is active and you are using at least one of the two characteristics 'Profit Center' and 'Segment' in the document splitting:
You do not have to create and use a dummy profit center. Using the dummy profit center can cause situations you want to avoid: For example, the system splits receivables/payables to the dummy profit center because of the document splitting (you cannot transfer them manually), or a document line item with dummy profit center account assignment is not split by the document splitting. To ensure that a profit center is assigned in all rows, set the profit center as mandatory field in the Customizing of the document splitting. However, note that this can also lead to terminations while posting, if a profit center assignment is missing.
12. Compare G/L Accounts in FI with Profit Center Accounting (Transaction KE5T)
In classic Profit Center Accounting, transaction KE5T is used to compare account balances. In this transaction, the ledgers to be compare are fixed. If you use Profit Center Accounting in new General Ledger Accounting, use the general transaction GCAC. You can enter any base ledger and any comparison ledger. -
Hi Experts,
My client has different co codes and on ECC and Classic PCA is activated but not using.
Now they are going to implement ECC 6 in US company codes.
The requirement for this co code is to use the PCA.
Can you please suggest on the below:
1. Can we go ahead with PCA with New GL, my concern is as other co codes are not on New GL if we do this for new company code it will give some problems,
2. Go with Classic PCA now and go to NEW GL with PCA for all the co codes at once.
Kindly give the reasons also please.
Thanks,Hi,
Again, as mentioned by Christian, you cannot activate NewG/L for one company code and not for another. So, if you use NewG/L, you will have to migrate the data from your 'old' company codes to NewG/L tables as well.
PCA could be used with NewG/L as well; you are not obliged to switch it off even if you activate NewG/L. However, normally functionalities of NewG/L could replace PCA.
Regards,
Eli

Posting to Production Order Field during WIP Calc in Classic Ledger FI/PCA
During our weekly Work In Process Calculation job (SAP Transaction KKAO) the following journal entry posts correctly per our company's SAP configuration:
Debit/Credit Work In Process Change (Income Statement)
Debit/Credit Work in Process Inventory (Balance Sheet)
When the entry posts in the Financial Accounting and Profit Center Accounting Modules within the Classic Ledger, the Order field (BSEG-AUFNR, GLPCA-AUFNR) is not being populated with the Production Order number. Instead it is going into a Text field. An example of the current behavior is below.
Itm PK Account Account short text Amount Text
1 40 530000 WIP Change 9.59 ORD 12345678
2 50 132000 WORK IN PROCESS 9.59- ORD 12345678
The other Production Order transactions such as labor confirmations and finished good deliveries populate the aforementioned Order fields and have no Text entry.
I would like the WIP calculation transaction to populate the Order fields in the Financial Accounting and Profit Center Accounting Postings. How can I make this happen within the SAP configuration?
Thanks in advance for your reply.
RomanHi,
old PCA report painter reports can be migrated to NewGL reports under certain circumstances (see SAPNET note 1555535 for details).
As the NewGL PC reporting bases on the data available in the new GL tables FAGLFLEX* I think that you will miss some infos in NewGL PC reporting compared to infos available in classic PCA reporting (eg object type / object class).
Nevertheless it is possible to add fields toFAGLFLEX* but I doubt that this will be helpful in your case.
