Add Profit Centers

Hi,
I am trying to create an add-on that adds Profit Centers (Financials->Cost Accounting->Profit Centers). Is this supported by the DI API?
thanks

Hi Costas,
Currently there is no object that allows you to handle (create/delete) Profit Centers.
That is one object that I would very much appreciate.

Add New Profit Centers in KE32 / KE35

Hi Gurus,
I need to Add new profit centers which are newly created in KE32 / KE35 T.Codes.
Please suggest how to include in as much detailed steps as possible.
Thanks in advance.

Dear,
If you are implementing New GL then do not worry about the old data to upadate to meet new gl or document splitting requirement. In New G/L implementation Data Migration is one of the crucial phase of the project. You may have to use SAP GL Migration Services to migrate all data into New GL....
So incorporate all necessary requirement at that time only and check nothing is left to ensure and fructify New G/L and Document Splitting implementation.

Creating Multi-use hierarchy or display of profit centers

Good evening!
I am trying to create a per unit report by profit center for my system. I have multi acute care facilities that all use the same first four digits for their profit centers. My report currently has multiple columns of data by profit center, see below
.....................Stat Actual.....Stat Budget........Rev/Stat Actual.....Rev/Stat Budget
12340001......10.....................15......................100.........................150
12440001......7........................5......................110.........................175
When I change the company code from 0001 to 0010, I get the data for the profit centers under company code 0010. What I want to do is display the two individual profit centers and then add those two profit centers or a range of profit centers (1234 - 1244) for any company code and display a total, like below
.....................Stat Actual.....Stat Budget........Rev/Stat Actual.....Rev/Stat Budget
12340001......10.....................15......................100.........................150
12440001......7........................5......................110.........................175
Lab Total......17.......................20.....................105.........................167
or if I select company code 0010, it will display as follows:
.....................Stat Actual.....Stat Budget........Rev/Stat Actual.....Rev/Stat Budget
12340010......10.....................15......................100.........................150
12440010......7........................5......................110.........................175
Lab total .......17......................20....................105.........................167
Any thoughts on how to create this structure?
Thanks
Kim

Hi.
So basically, you want to make a selection on the profitcenters and keep it constant, while displaying what is posted on this/these profitcenters across a selection of company codes?
You can do this with a variable for profitcenter and a variable for company code. But I would consider fixing the profitcenter keys by removing the last four characters, which represent the company code. Assuming the controlling area (the compund key of profitctr) for any one profitcenter is the same in each company code, you dont have to worry about the controlling area. If it's different for each comp code (so, maybe the last four digits in the profitcenter keys also represent controlling areas??), you can create a variable for controlling area instead of comp code.
If you cant do it by controlling area, because the different comp codes are in the same area, then put the last four digits of the profitcenter keys in the comp code and make a variable on compcode and one on profitcenter and select on both. Put both chars in the rows (pctr, cc) and you get the breakdown you want.

Level of profit centers

Hi All
Could you please tell at what level ( level 5 or level 9 ) are the profit centers
maintained in SAP. For example how to find the level of FRBs in the table
BSIS.
Also if anybody can explain me the concept of cost centers, profit centers
and cost center groups.
Regards
Ankit

Hi Ankit,
i am giving the defination of cost centre, profit centre
Cost centres are divisions that add to the cost of the organisation, but only indirectly add to the profit of the company. Examples include Research and Development, Marketing and Customer service. A cost centre is often identified with a speed type number.
Because the cost centre has a negative impact on profit (at least on the surface) it is a likely target for rollbacks and layoffs when budgets are cut. Operational decisions in a contact centre, for example, are typically driven by cost considerations. Financial investments in new equipment, technology and staff are often difficult to justify to management because indirect profitability is hard to translate to bottom-line figures.
Business metrics are sometimes employed to quantify the benefits of a cost centre and relate costs and benefits to those of the organisation as a whole. In a contact centre, for example, metrics such as average handle time, service level and cost per call are used in conjunction with other calculations to justify current or improved funding.
Profit Center Accounting provides visibility of an organizations profit and losses by profit center. The methods which can be utilized for EC-PCA (Profit Center Accounting) are period accounting or by the cost-of-sales approach. Profit Centers can be set-up to identify product lines, divisions, geographical regions, offices, production sites or by functions. Profit Centers are used for Internal Control purposes enabling management the ability to review areas of responsibility within their organization. The difference between a Cost Center and a Profit Center is that the Cost Center represents individual costs incurred during a given period and Profit Centers contain the balances of costs and revenues.

How to allocate payments to multiple profit centers in contract posting

Hi
For a contract possessing two rental objects with respective profit centers, there are two respective conditions added.
The requirement is to maintain the profit centers assigned within each rental object in postings. For this to achieve, I tried to add Organizational Assignment variants for each condition within contract but of no avail as the new variant isn't allowing the profit center with disabled mode. Was my approach wrong ? or is there any workaround for this ?

Hi,
it is not possible to assign more than one profit center to a real estate object or contract at the same time. But you may use distribution posting to transfer all amounts to rental objects and the profit centers assigned to them.

Franz

About profit centers assignment in Material Master

Hi Frnds,
Have a doubt to clarify. As far as assigning the (Cost centers and) Profit Centers in Material Master (MM01/MM02 ) is concerned, when we look at the costing views, there we have an option only to enter a Profit Center and not a Cost Center. Can anyone suggest to me in this regards.
My doubt is: When we purchase a Raw material/ Semi finished (in short any material), it is a cost incurred to produce a Finished product, which means this has to hit some cost center, first.
And above all when a PO etc from MM are made, there the purchasing clerk punches the RELEVANT COST CENTERS, then:
what is the use of defaulting Profit center in the material master,(without actually defaulting both cost and profit centers in costing views of MM).
(ii) when a cost object (profit center) is being defaulted, why not cost center?
Coz, primarily we need to know the cost in purchasing the material, then add up all costs and OH and then arrive at a selling price, thereby arriving at PROFIT which is where profit center is highly useful.
Plz suggest
regards
sandhya

Hi,
To clarify your doubts see my response below:
1) Only Costs can be assigned to Cost Centres. i.e.Balance Sheet items cannot be assigned to Cost Centres.
2) On the other hand Balance Sheet items can be assigned to Profit Centres.
When you purchase a Raw material or Intermediate it is not a Cost at the point of Purchase but it is only a Cost at the time of Consumption, if the same is going to be inventorised. In this case it cannot be assigned to a Cost Centre as the Inventory Account which is a Balance Sheet Account is debited in FI.
Only when the Material is issued to the Production line for manufacture of a Finished product, the Cost centre will be manually assigned. Further, you cannot assign a default Cost Centre to a material , as the material can be issued & consumed by any Cost centre and thus the Cost centre will be assigned at the time of issue.
If you purchase a material and if the same is not going to be inventorised but it is a consumable material, it is assigned to a Cost Centre as the time of purchase and it will be debited to a P&L account in FI. The Cost Centre can be defaulted from the Purchase Requisition or the Purchase Order as the case maybe.
Profit centres are defaulted in the Material master, as we need to generate Profit Centre wise Financial statements and the Inventories need to be posted to Profit Centres to generate Financial statements.
Hope this clarifies your doubts.

G/L Account Line Items/ Profit Centers/ FBL3N/ F.5D/1KEK/KE5Z/BalanceSheet?

Hi Experts,
Am running FBL3N-G/L Line Item Display, and am trying to get PROFIT CENTERS for Balanace sheet type of accounts, but Its not showing up.
But, am getting for Profit Loss accounts.
1) Why its so?
2) Then How to get the PROFIT CENTERS for them? (I know they r available, in BSEG)
3) Functional owner said(tele talk, no voice clear!!!) that, the Profit Centers are NOT get updated UNTIL month end, unless run the F.5D, 1KEK, KE5Z tx.s., which inturn system copies the profit centers(I dont know that, From where it copies) and posts/updates(I dont know, Wht get updated?), so, he said, relying on ??(is it BSEG??????) is not works out!!
So, let me know that,
Wht does its mean? Wht NOt get updated until month end?unless run the F.5D, 1KEK, KE5Z tx.s? Is it DataBase? BSEG?
4) Is BSEG table get updated, as soon as any FICO document ceated by user? I mean, Can I relay on BSEG always, for pulling the profit centers data for Balance sheet accounts, all the time?
5) If NOT, them Where Can I find them?
thanq

Hi Srinivas,
You have to declare balance sheet accounts as relevant for PCA inside 3KEH transaction in config. So you mark the balance sheet accounts that should appear in PCA in 3KEH with a default profit center which can be overwritten with the use entry.
Fixed Assets, AR/AP and WIP can be transferred into PCA at the monthend. PCA is a separate ledger, has its own set of tables and reports. Inventory and other balance sheet accounts are posted into PCA online.
Hope this helps.

Having Multiple Material Codes with Different Profit Centers in one Plant

Hi,
Can someone explain me what impact it will have, if there are different Material Codes with multiple profit centers in a single plant? For example, say Material 1 has Profit Center as PC1 and Material 2 has Profit Center as PC2 and they are in a single plant. Will this have impact on Financial Transactions?
Thanks and Regards,
Sameer Joshi

Hi Sameer
No negative impact.. It is very much possible and logical
All the purchases made - > Stocks and vendor liability will be tagged to the PC of the Material
All the sales made -> COGS, Revenue and Customer Liability will be tagged to the PC of the material, unless you overwrite using a Substitution

How to get balance sheet report for profit centers

hi
how to get balance sheet report for profit centers, is there any transcation code to get that report or i need to create a report painter report for this

Hi,
You can use T. code KE5Z for actual line items.
More to this you can use program RFBILA10 (Use T. code SE38 and program RFBILA10) for complete blance sheet.
The transaction is for special purpose ledger but this program RFBILA10 can be used for profit center balance also.
In selection, you can give ledger name which is generally 8A for profit center ledger.

Profit Centers(CEPCT) selection with Wild Characters(*) condition

HI, I'm trying to select Profit centers from CEPCT table for the given profit center parameter. here I'm trying with wild characters.
for example: 1.
* check if wild character exists
    FIND c_st IN p_i_profit_ctr.
    IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
* replace * with %
      REPLACE ALL OCCURRENCES OF c_st IN p_i_profit_ctr WITH c_pr.
* get profit center list for given pattern
      SELECT prctr "Profit Center
             ktext "General Name
          FROM cepct INTO TABLE t_profit_ctr
        WHERE spras = c_en              "english language
        AND   prctr LIKE p_i_profit_ctr.   "profit center
CEPCT table data is:
Profit Center
0000001000
0000002000
CORPORATE
(1) when I try with C*, i'm getting properly.
(2)when I try with 1, I'm getting it properly.
(3) when I try with 1*, not getting data even if 1000 is available. this is beacuse leading zeores in the table.
Could anyone please help me out how do I write a qeury to rectrive the above. (Note: we may not be sure how many zeroes to be included, I hope this is not good practive to include zeroes because in case of 200/2000 which will not work and for chars which will not be good code)
thanks in advance.

Hi,
Its better to specify a range for profit center in the selection screen and he use in your query as follows:
Example :
ranges r_profcent FOR GLPCA-RPRCTR.
Query to fetch Range:
SELECT PRCTR INTO R_PROFCENT-LOW
FROM CEPC
WHERE ( PRCTR BETWEEN '0000001111' AND '0000009999'
    OR PRCTR = 'DUMMY' )
    AND KOKRS = '1000'.
    R_PROFCENT-SIGN = 'I'.
    R_PROFCENT-OPTION = 'EQ'.
    APPEND R_PROFCENT.
Use of range in Query:
SELECT REFDOCNR RPRCTR BLDAT BUDAT
FROM GLPCA CLIENT SPECIFIED
APPENDING CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE ITAB1
WHERE RCLNT = SY-MANDT
    AND RPRCTR IN R_PROFCENT
    AND RACCT IN GLACNO
Hope it could help you out.
Regds,

New GL Profit Centers not updated with Reposting of costs in CO

Hi,
There is one concern, which I am not able to address.
In case one reposts primary costs to different cost centers which in turn has different profit centers, the PCA report gets updated since it is posted in CO.
However, in case of New GL Profit center reports the values are displayed in the original profit center posted and not in the reposted profit center. I understand that the reposting is done only in CO, but then there would be a mismatch in the PCA reports and the New GL profit center reports.
Please suggest any solution to this.

Hi
check the path and see if Account Determination between CO & FI is active for the variant defined and assigned to your company code:
IMG>Financial Accounting>Financial Accounting Global Settings>Ledgers>Real time Integration between Controlling & FI>Define variants for Real Time Integration.

Usage of Cost Centers, Profit Centers and Internal Orders

Hello everyone,
i have perhaps for some of you a simple question but it bothers me alot.
Imagine we are using Cost centers and Internal Orders. For them we create statistical key figures using transaction KB31N.
Now we are installing SAP BI and want to create a report which would be generated acording to cost centers but with statistical key figures.
The question would be how to make a connection between cost centers orders and those stat.key.figs?
In our case the economists say that we are using this kind of scenario:
Dist.chanel ->
Sender: Cost center, Cost element
Receiver: Int.Order
and Stat key fig.
This is the only place where we have a connection between thos objects. Is there other way how to connect them. perhaps using profit centers?
If somebody didnt understand it, maybe ill try to explain it a bit better
Reagards
Laurynas Prikockis

Hi Laurynas,
Pls try to understand the concept as explained hereunder...
Cost Element:
Primary Cost Element : Replication of GL to bring costs into CO module when they are posted in FI
                                   module
Secondary Cost Elements: Carriers of costs between two Cost Objects (when we want to transfer the
                                        cost from Cost Centers to Internal Orders, vice versa and more, we create
                                        Secondary Cost Elements to carry the costs and transfer them to the
                                        reciever objects from sender objects)
Cost Center: It is a Cost Object, maintained on long-term basis, where we can capture the costs (Ex:
                    Marketing Cost Center)
Internal Order: It is also a Cost Object, maintained on shor-term basis, where we can capture the costs
                     (Ex: Internal Order for Special Marketing Campaign). Ultimately, whatever the costs
                      posted to this Internal Order, will get settled to Marketing Cost Center.
Staitistical Key Figure: It is used as a basis for allocation of certain expenses (Simple example would
                                  be, Total rent paid for office is $100000 per month. This cost has to go to
                                  different Cost Centers like Finance and Accounts, Marketing, Purchase Dept
                                  etc on the basis of "Area Occupied". So, We will define "Area Occupied" as a
                                  Statistical Key Figure in our system.
                                 Now, when the Rent amount is posted in FI, it wil reach a Virtual Cost Center
                                 (An "Allocation Cost Center" with name "Rent" to be created under your
                                 Controlling Area) "Rent". From there, it has to reach the other Cost Centers (lie
                                 F&A etc as explained above) on the basis of Area Occupied (SKF Created
                                 for "area occupied")
For this, you need enter the Area Occupied values (Ex:Sq Ft) in KB31N and you need to create an Allocation Cycle (Distribution / Assessment) where in you will select "Area Occupied" (SKF) as your Receiver Tracing Factor.
I hope I am clear, don't hesitate to revert back for more explanation...

Repostings of data in profit centers

Hi!
any one can tell me can we report revenues between profit centers as we will done in the case of Cost Centers ( KB11N,KB61)?
Not through distribution and assessment.
I have configured some revenue elements to internal order in OKB9 and in internal order profit center is assigned.
As we forgotten to insert profit center in internal orders, all revenues posted to Dummy profit center.
Now we want to repost from dummy profit center to actual profit center.
regs,
ramesh

Hi,
You can always repost the values from dummy profit center to correct profit center.
Please try the relevent option.
Let me know if u have questions
