BY merely creating profit center is not sufficient, we have to consider so many things, if you are using ECC 6, we have to check segments, then posting authorizations.
before this analyze the client requirement, at what context he want to add one more profit center, do they want to restrict users by profit centers, and also you have to segregate cost centers according to this profit centers, take a note of entire business process within the new profit center and analyze what are the process involved. check whether vendor master, materiel master, customer master is assigned any particular profit center, creation of new profit center is like creating one new company code, we have to consider each and every process.

How do I assign district to a new profit center

A new business unit/region was created and 2 existing districts were reassigned to it in the process customer hierarchy with Tcode VDH2N. Also, the characteristic derivation rules by linking the region to a newly created profit centre were done.
However , the customers in the resasigned districts are classified under Dummy profit center instead of the new profit center when KE24 (diplay actual line items-profiability report) is run on SAP.
How do we reassign the districts to reflect the new profit center?
Should this be done in standard hierarchy with Tcode KCH1 which we do not have access to .
Pls assist urgently.

Are you asking about assigning a location in the iPhoto for iOS application (just to be clear)? If so, there's no way to add or edit the location for pictures using the iPhoto.app. If you add/edit the location of photos using iPhoto on the Mac it will then appear in iPhoto for iOS the next time you sync pictures with iTunes.

New cash journal for new profit center gives error of profit center

Dear Friends
I have configured a new Cash G/L for new profit center .But while posting throug T-code FBCJ the entry it gives following error .
Field Profit Ctr is a required field for G/L account 1000 207001550
Message no. F5808
Diagnosis
The value for field "Profit Ctr" in the interface to Financial Accounting is an initial value but you are required to make an entry in the field selection for G/L account "207001550" in company code "1000" linked to the field selection for posting key "50".
System Response
Error
Procedure
It might be an error in the configuration of the G/L account field selection. The initial application, used to call up the interface must otherwise define a value for field "Profit Ctr". If this is the case, contact the consultant responsible for the application used to call up the interface or get in contact with SAP directly.
But its working file with another Cash G/L While the Field Status is same as the field status of another cash G/L.

through Transaction 3KEH, Default Profit Center can be set against Required GL (i.e Cash account in your case)
Warm Regards...

Creation Of new profit center group

Dear Experts,
I would like to know who will create profit center group. What is the role of an abaper in creation of profit center group. How much time will it take to create a new profit center group.

Hi,
Certainly, not. It's not a major development, but a standard data maintenance. Even for reporting, standard ones, the creation of a new group does not mean additional development, as it will be automatically reflexed in the reports.

Profit center balances transfer from old profit centers to new profit cente

Dear All,
My client wants to deactivate all cost centers and profit centers and create new cost centers and new profit centers for new fiscal year 2009.
So here my queries are
1. Putting an end date to the existing cost center and creating the New cost center now itself in the system with effective date as 1st April 09?
    I changed validity period in cost center but it does not accept.
2. How to restrict postings to profit center from April, 2009 ? even changed validity period and changed as inactive mode in profit center,
    It is allowing postings to profit center.
3. How the balances need to be transferred to New profit centers? I tried in 9KE0 T.code but in this T.code we can transfer profit center and GL A/C wise
    but here we have around 20 profit centers and 100 above Gls, so it will take so much of time, so kindly suggest me short way.
4. And When can we transfer balances to New profit centers i.e April 1st or after completions of Audit? because client wants to post pending transactions of 2008 FY
    to old profit centers in April and May months. So in this situation how can i proceed?
5. For mapping the Assets & Liabilities balances as on 31st Mar 2009 to New profit center the following need to be provided
    A. Profit center wise Trail balance
        ( For this i suggested S_PL0_86000030 t.code) is this correct?
    B. Profit center wise Balances of Subsidiary Ledgers i.e Vendors, Customers & Assets
6. On which date I can close 2008 FY& open 2009 fiscal year for Assets?
Please guide and provide me solutions above my queries.
This would be great help for me, Thanks in advance.
Thanks & Regards,

1.     You can block cost centers and profit centers and create new or can use same by changing analysis period Eg: KS02 > Edit > Analysis period
2.     Select lock indicator in profit center master record
3.     Write LSMW to that
6. At the end of you fiscal year close the asset period and do all year end transactions and open new asset period
You can use S_PL0_86000030 check it

Can we change existing profitcenter to new profit center of a cost center

hai,
can we change existing profitcenter to new profit center of a cost center in ks02
is there any problem in alredy existing data related to that cost center

Hi,
If data is already there for the Cost centre with old profit center the change of profit center is not possible.
If you transfer the data to other costcenter then i think you can change the Profit center.
Just try this.

How to use new cost center field, new profit center field, new account field?

As I create a new change request of adding new GL account, or that of new cost center, or that of new profit center, I normally enter the new GL code GL01, or new cost center CC01 or profit center code PC01 in "General Data" section on the change requst screen, these codes (GL01, CC01, PC01) are landed in ECC upon data replication.
I do see there is another field called "New Account" of GL change request, or "New Cost Center" of CC change request, or "New Profit Center" of PC change requst all of which is under "Administrative Data" section. I have never used it. but I was wondering what the purpose it will serve and how should I use them.
Please advise,
Thanks,
LUO.

Hi Kiran,
Thanks for the info. I don't quite understand though. could you tell me more about the usage of each? Why it is used when GL or CC or PC is blocked? Would the new cost center code entered replace old cost center master record?
Thanks,
LUO

Create a new profit center

Hi all,
What is the different between analysis period and validity period which appear on profit center maintenance screen (KE52)? I found out that both of the field will always bocome the same after I activate the profit center, even if I purposely differential it initially...
There are 2 buttons in the screen, which is 'period of examination' and 'change validity period'. How to use the button period of examination?
Thanks.

Validatity period is the life of the Profit center
In Examination period you can mention the Person responsible for the profit center (different people who are responsible for the different intervals)
Validity period = 01/01/2008 to 31/12/2020
Examination period = 01/01/2008 to 31/12/2010
Peron responsible = Jim
Examination period = 01/01/2011 to 31/12/2020
Peron responsible = Jack

Transfer of bal to a new profit center

Hi Sap Gurus,
We have two profit centers 2000 and 2050 , now the business requirement is to
1)close Profit Center 2050
2) transfer all the balances of 2050 to 2000
pls explain me in detail with T.codes
Helpful answers will be given points
thanks in Advance
KSK

Step1: Define your Distribution cycle in t.code: 4ke1
Step 2: Run the distribution cycle in t.code: 4ke5
Step3: Closing Profit center i.e. locking from postings(Not deleting) through Tcode-KE52. in that check the box Lock indicator in the tab Indicators. after that make it active again. then it will be locked to postings. so when ever any user pick this pctr it will give error messg.
Hope this helps.
Please assign points as way to say thanks.

The structure of the profit center report in new GL

Hello,
I must finish a query for the customer this week. This query must base on a sap standard report for the new GL.
Because our ECC 6.0 system hasn't the Enhancement Package 3 (contains the necessary new features) yet, so I can't see this standard report which should be displayed under the path:
SAP Menu --> Accounting --> Financial Accounting --> General Ledger --> Information System --> General Ledger Reports (New) --> Profit Center Reports --> S_E38_98000088 - Profit Center Group: Plan/Actual/Variance
Can somebody tell me the structure of this report, if you can see this report in your system?
- Which key figure has been used in the report?
- What are in the rows and columns?
- Which characteristics are available to navigation?
- Which variables and General data selections are there?
Hope somebody can help me. Thanks a lot!
Best regards,
Yuanyuan

Hi,
Then my suggesion is you copy the form & report structure of most suitable report (which you have downloaded through FGIQ) .Modify the form according to your reporting requirement. Create new report by coping standard report & assign this newly created form to this report.This will serve your purpose.
Please do not make any changes to standard report.Copy it & then do the changes.
Transaction code for the same is FGI0 or FGI1 or FGI2 or 3 or 4 or 5 or FGI6.
Second suggestion is in SPRO in GL information system (infact in each information system ) you will find drilldown report node in that import report transaction e.g. FSIQ .Import all reports you might get your required report.

Abhijit

Repost between profit center with new GL

Hi,
We had the wrong profit center assigned to one of our cost center. now, we corrected the assignment, but we need to move the posting from the 'wrong' PC to the 'right' PC for previous months.
Except for a regular journal entry to reclassify between the two profit centers, is there a better way to move or repost the line items?
Thanks,
Yoel.

Hi,
if you are able to assign (temporarily) the old wrong Profit Center to this cost center:
1: credit the cost center with old profit center for all the postings to be corrected, debit a CO-object assigned to any other PC (or even dummy PC).
2: change the PC in the cost center to the new one
3: credit the temporary used CO-object and debit again the cost center with the new profit center.
4:post it periodically, the balance of the intermediate object must be zero for all periods.
The cost appear on the cost center assigned to the new profit center.
Sounds painfull...
Best regards, Christian

Hi
Pls find enclosed the replies
1.Pls tick all the lock indicators. System would not allow the posting to the cost centers
2. for the analysis, maintain the lock indicator to the profit center. System would give an error when anybody tries to post to the profit center during the analysis period. please note system would allow posting to the profit center outside the analysis period of lock indicator
3.You should transfer the balances through LSMW or other mass data transfer tool like BDC or ECATT
4.I Guess you should finish all your transactions and then do the transfer on a date which is acceptable to the business
5. The report code S_Pl0_86000030 is correct.
6. Try the report codes S_ALR_87013343 - Profit Center: Receivables , S_ALR_87013344 - Profit Center: Payables
