Activate Profit Center Accounting in existing system.

Dear Experts
Please clearify me the steps to activate profit center accounting in which some open items e.g advances etc are exist. What will be the procedure to activate profit center accounting.

agreed but the invoices which are open are without profit centers and than we will activate profit center accounting is there any chance that all the open item invoices creat some problem.
What step i should do in OKE5 and in OKEQ??????

  • Activate Profit Center Accounting with Splitter in SPL / New GL

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

  • 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?

  • 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

  • Profit Center Accounting in BCS

    Dear Experts,
    I'm going to have Profit Center based consolidation reporting in SEM-BCS. Since I'm using NewGL (with segmented Profit Center), I don't have to activate Profit Center Accounting Module.
    Is it possible to have Profit Center based consolidation report in SEM-BCS without PCA Module activation?
    Thank you.

    Although I have never encountered this situation, if the profit center is provided in the source infocube for the data load without activating the PCA module, then should not be a problem.

    Hello
    There is many ways, like define in the post before, and you can transfer it monthy,
    There is also another way is to implement NewLedger.
    But this is more harder than activate profit center.

    Hi,
    Refer This SDN Blog, which gives you steps in detail....
    LSMW – Step by Step Guide: Legacy System Migration Workbench is an R/3 Based tool for data transfer from legacy to R/3 for one time or periodic transfer.
    Basic technique is Import data from Spreadsheet / Sequential file, convert from source format to target format and import into R/3 database. LSMW not part of standard R/3, if we need this product email [email protected]
    Advantages of LSMW:
        • Most of the functions are within R/3, hence platform independence.
       • Quality and data consistency due to standard import techniques.
       • Data mapping and conversion rules are reusable across projects.
       • A variety of technical possibilities of data conversion.
       • Generation of the conversion program on the basis of defined rules
       • Interface for data in spreadsheet format.
       • Creation of data migration objects on the basis of recorded transactions.
       • Charge-free for SAP customers and partners.
    Working With LSMW:
    Use TCODE LSMW
    Objects of LSMW:
      •Project   – ID with max of 10 char to Name the data transfer project.
      • Subproject   – Used as further structuring attribute.
      • Object   – ID with max of 10 Characters, to name the Business object .
      • Project can have multiple sub projects and subprojects can have multiple objects.
      • Project documentation displays any documentation maintained for individual pop ups and processing steps
    User Guide: Clicking on Enter leads to interactive user guide which displays the Project name, sub project name and object to be created.
    Object type and import techniques:
      • Standard Batch / Direct input.
      • Batch Input Recording
          o If no standard programs available
          o To reduce number of target fields.
          o Only for fixed screen sequence.
        • BAPI
        • IDOC
          o Settings and preparations needed for each project
    Preparations for IDOC inbound processing:
        • Choose settings -> IDOC inbound processing in LSMW
        • Set up File port for file transfer, create port using WE21.
        • Additionally set up RFC port for submitting data packages directly to function module IDoc_Inbound_Asynchronous, without creating a file during data conversion.
        • Setup partner type (SAP recommended ‘US’) using WE44.
        • Maintain partner number using WE20.
        • Activate IDOC inbound processing.
        • Verify workflow customizing.
    Steps in creating LSMW Project:
        • Maintain attributes – choose the import method.
        • Maintain source structure/s with or without hierarchical relations. (Header, Detail)
        • Maintain source fields for the source structures. Possible field types – C,N,X, date, amount and packed filed with decimal places.
        • Fields can be maintained individually or in table form or copy from other sources using upload from a text file
        • Maintain relationship between source and target structures.
        • Maintain Field mapping and conversion rules
        • For each Target field the following information is displayed:
          o Field description
          o Assigned source fields (if any)
          o Rule type (fixed value, translation etc.)
          o Coding.
          o Some fields are preset by the system & are marked with Default setting.
        • Maintain Fixed values, translations, user defined routines – Here reusable rules can be processed like assigning fixed values, translation definition etc.
        • Specify Files
          o Legacy data location on PC / application server
          o File for read data ( extension .lsm.read)
          o File for converted data (extension .lsm.conv)
        • Assign Files – to defined source structures
        • Read data – Can process all the data or part of data by specifying from / to transaction numbers.
        • Display read data – To verify the input data being read
        • Convert Data – Data conversion happens here, if data conversion program is not up to date, it gets regenerated automatically.
        • Display converted data – To verify the converted data
    Import Data – Based on the object type selected
        • Standard Batch input or Recording
          o Generate Batch input session
          o Run Batch input session
        • Standard Direct input session
          o Direct input program or direct input transaction is called
    BAPI / IDOC Technique:
        • IDOC creation
          o Information packages from the converted data are stored on R/3 Database.
          o system assigns a number to every IDOC.
          o The file of converted data is deleted.
        • IDOC processing
          o IDOCS created are posted to the corresponding application program.
          o Application program checks data and posts in the application database.
    Finally Transport LSMW Projects:
        • R/3 Transport system
          o Extras ->Create change request
          o Change request can be exported/imported using CTS
        • Export Project
          o Select / Deselect part / entire project & export to another R/3 system
        • Import Project
          o Exported mapping / rules can be imported through PC file
          o Existing Project data gets overwritten
          o Prevent overwriting by using
        ‘Import under different name

  • 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.

  • Profit Center Accounting-Transfer of Accounts payable/Receivable

    Dear All,
    in our company SAP  was implemented in  2005 . Now we configurd PCA and  transfering the Ending balance of Accounts Payable/Recivable ( Transaction 1KEK). System only select the invoices which were posted in last month ( Feb,2009) and ignore all the open invoices which were posted  before Feb,2009.
    Please advise me, How I'm able to post the ending balance of Accounts payable/Recivable on respective profit center.

    Hi
    The transaction 1KEK is specific to a period. The first box that you would provide the period and then the year. Subsequently you will be providing the fiscal year. So only the entries for Feb 2009 will be going over to PCA. If there were any entries subsequent to the execution of 1KEK, you need to execute it again in order that the delta entries make it to PCA.
    You transfer payables and receivables to Profit Center Accounting in the course of normal period‑closing activities.You can transfer payables and receivables as often as you wish, since the system deletes previously transferred data before each new transfer.
    Hope this clarifies. Else please get back.

  • Origin Object Type for Plant Maintenance Orders in Profit Center Accounting

    Hi,
    I want to make a selection for plant maintenance orders in transaction KE5Z, report for line items in Profit Center Accounting. When checking possible input options for the selection field <b></b>Origing Object Type<b></b> the system shows value 15 for Maintenance Orders. However I discovered in our system the maintenance orders are reported as Origing Object Type 03, which is Overhead Orders according to the selection list. So I cannot distinguish between overhead orders and maintenance orders in this report.
    What is the cause our maintenance orders are assigned to Origin Object Type 03 in stead of 15 and what is the customizing transaction to correct this ?

    Looks like, this is no longer supported. Refer to note 168004 and  102434.
    Cause and prerequisites
    These functions were not programmed to meet the above requirements.
    As of Release 4.0, the object type is transferred directly.
    Solution
    Once you have implemented the advance correction. the origin object type 'Overhead cost order' (03) is assigned irrespective of what is the SCOPE for orders.
    As a result of implementing this note or as of Release 4.6B, the order category distinguishes between overhead cost orders and production orders in the origin object type. In this case, the following origin object types result (as described above in 1.):
    Order category 04 to 10, 40 => 04 (production order)
    All other order categories => 03 (overhead cost order)
    The logic that the origin object type was set depending on the object class (as described above in 2.) is no longer supported. The object class can be evaluated separately in Reporting. -
    The corrections of this note refer in Release 4.0B to the corrections from Note 102434.

  • COPA Planning to Profit Center Accounting

    Hi,
    We are using ECC 6.0.
    When we do COPA planning and transfer the values of COPA to Profit Center, no data has been transfered to profit center plan items.
    We have not activated Planning version of Classic Profit Center Accounting. Is it required for ECC 6.0 also to activate Classic Profit Center Accoutning?
    We have Mapped requisit Value fields of COPA to GL Accounts.
    Can any one guide us in this regard.
    Thanks in Advance
    Sudhakar

    Hi,
       In COPA the planning has been done to the value field of PRCTR which represents Profit center. Through report forms the actual and plan data for the value fields can be derived in COPA itself. I dont think that the planned values can be transferred to profit center accouting. On the other hand the actuals of profit center with the same value fields can be derived in COPA.
    Assign points if its useful

  • Profit Center Accounting Reports - New GL

    I've done the configuration and setup for the Profit Center accounting reports (new GL) in ecc 6 and I'm having an outstanding issue.
    If I attempt to run the reports via their transaction code, ie S_E38_98000088 I have no problems. Access/authorization is fine and the desired result is achieved. If I navigate the SAP Easy Menu to Accounting -> Financial Accounting -> General Ledger -> Information System -> General Ledger Reports (New) I don't see the "Reports for Profit Center Accounting folder.
    If I go to se43 and look at the S000 areamenu, the path is there. I've tried with a user account that has wide open access to everything and I still don't see it. Is there any configuration that needs to be done to get this menu path to display to the end user?
    Any help/suggestions are greatly welcomed.
    Regards,
    Elder

    I think this comes with Enterprise Business Function FIN_GL_CI_1, t-code SFW5. Read the documentation in SFW5, those Reports are there.
    Good luck.

  • Profit Center Accounting in ECC 6.0 New GL Accounting

    Hi,
    I want to make my understanding clear.
    If we are in ECC 6.0 and New GL accounting is active and also the One of the Document Spliiting characteristics is Profit Center, it means that all the document must have the Profit center to it.
    In this way we can get the Profit center wise Balance sheet.
    I hope my understing is clear till now. Please correct me if I am wrong.
    Now with this, my next question is , do we really need to Configure the Profit Center Accounting node Under controlling?
    If yes, why to do this? Because if we require Distribution or assessment cycle for the Profit center, it can be done through General Ledger Accounting node (New)  period end closing process.
    Please correct me if I am wrong.
    regards

    Hi Kerstin
    Assume you are on ECC 6.0 and you dont create Dummy PC...
    If doc splitting is active, you get an error that "PC in Line item XXXX not filled"... System does not look for Dummy PC in that case...
    Same behaviour should have been replicated in CRM as well.. Dont you think so?? If I have not activated EC-PCA, I am not supposed to get any error related to Dummy PC... Thats the basic premise of SAP, as far as I know...
    When Dummy PC is a feature of EC-PCA, system should look for it only when EC-PCA is active... Though you can say Dummy PC can be created from New GL Menu,, but the basic premise which stil remains is the behaviour is not the same in CRM & Other ECC components like FI, when the PC is not found.... One behaviour is as per EC PCA active and the other is as per New GL PCA active
    Anyways, thanks for sharing your knowledge on this,
    br, Ajay M
