Assign Functional area to Profit Center Distribution Cycle postings
Hi All,
I am using a NEW GL distribution cycle (Tran Code : FAGLGA35) for distributing balances in the Dummy Profit center to relevent Profit centers.
My Company is using Functional area for FIN STAT Ver and other reportings. When I run the profit center distribution cycle, it distirbutes the amounts but doesnot assign the Functional areas to the posting. Is there a way I can pass the functional area of the relevent postings of the accounts to the postings of each distribution postings.
Thanks
MKR
Dear MKR,
Thank you for using the SAP SDN Forums,
In this particular case, you could have a look at the following to
see if it helps you, but I have not tested this for your case
so it is not being offered as a definite solution:
You could look at using FAGL_ALLO_SUBSTITUTE which might be able to
help you to get the results that you want.
Due to the inheritance logic in allocation, if you set "transfer
field" option active for the field (T811I-INHER), the system copies
the sender value to the receiver if the receive value is not specified.
Please refer to SAP Help portal:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2005vp/helpdata/en/40/e1510735f30baee10000000a114cbd/frameset.htm
You can deactivate "transfer field" flag in customizing
and use BAdI : FAGL_ALLO_SUBSTITUTE to substitute the intended
functional area. (This BAdI is the "official" way to substitute any
field during allocation, rather than OBBH substitution.)
I hope this may be of some assistance in resolving the issue.
Kind Regards,
Brendan

Functional Area derivation as obligatory checkbox in Cost Center distribution cycle?
Dear All,
We are using Cost of Sales accounting with FI-CO online integration. Derivation of Functional Area for Cost Center assessment cycles is an obligatory indicator. Nevertheless I may create Cos Center distribution cycles without this option (what affects FI-CO online integration). Can anybody explain a system logic behind it?
Can I set Functional Area derivation as an obligatory checkbox for Cost Center distribution cycles too?
Bartlomiej SeidelHi,
I have searched for any useful note, but without result so far. The point is that any new distribution or assessment cycle (cost centers) in our company must work with Functional Area derivation (than FI-CO online integration works correctly). With our current SAP setup I must select this indicator for every assessment cycle - it is obligatory. But is not obligatory for distribution cycles - and I don't know why?
I would like to protect everybody from crating distribution cycles without FA derivation indicator (like it works now for assessment cycles). How may I do it?

Error with Business area and profit center
Hello Guru's,
I have an issue when posting the stock through t-code MB1C and 521 movement type. We have assigned business area and profit centers for plants as below:
For Plant 1000,
Business Area: 1100
Profit center: 1100
And For Plant 2000,
Business Area: 1200
Profit center: 1200
But when I am assigning plant 2000, and assigning business area and profit center as 1200 respectively. System by default is picking as 1100 with a warning message.
Please help this resolving this issue, I want the system to take the correct assigned BA and Profit center.
Regards,
Varun SiddharthHi Varun,
One of the possible ways is, to assign a business area to the cobination of Plant and Division in OMJ7 (Assignment is possible for other combinations as well). Later you can define a substitution rule so that, a profit center is substituted to the combination of Plant and Business Area.
Hope it helps you.

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 youHi 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

Difference between Buness area vs Profit center accounting
Hi
What is the difference between the business area and profit center
1. Insted of Business area why can we use profit center accounting ?
2. diffenrence between the assessment cycle and Distribution ?
ThanksBoth are used for internal treporting purpose.
but profit center have some advantages over business areas.
advs;
. Profit Centers will be used instead of Business Areas to generate Profit & Loss statements and Balance Sheets for each location. Profit Centers has the following advantages over Business Areas;
. It is very flexible in nature and can be created / activated any time as it is Master Data.
. Profit Centers does not need adjustments/activities in the month-end due to Document Splitting functionality.
. Profit Center has its own Ledger/ SAP Tables in the background
. It can be grouped at higher level and one group can have any number of Profit Centers in it
. Assessment and Distribution of Costs between Profit Centers can be done.

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.

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 vs Profit Center comparison document
Friends,
I have 8 company codes, 6 comapny codes are running with Business area ....
Now business wants bring those 2 company codes into Business area using.. is there any imapct for running company codes to use Business area ??
I would like to suggest Profit center accounting instead of Business area.... if you have any presentation or documentation on Business area vs Profit center please share me .....
Thanks alot for your help..
what might be necessary in each of the active company codes, to turn on business areas again, since they used to be active and what process, configuration changes necessary for each (BA and PC)
FICOHi,
It is recommended to enable BA to a running company only at the end of the year. The main impacts are in the Fixed Assets and Cost Centers. I have performed this task in the middle of the year and had to upload this key on all Assets, and I had used a report to assign to all cost centers. It may be necessary to create validation rules for the financial Accouting.

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,
AmitHi 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.

Business Area and Profit Center In Document Splitting
Hi,
We are using Business area and Profit Center characteristics for document splitting.
In one transaction, the Business area and profit centers are defaulted through the cost center.
The document is successfully split in respect of the business area, but the profit center is not filled, thereby giving error while posting.
Please suggest.Hi,
Actually, we have all three scenarios, profit center, segment and business area..
As suggested, we have checked all field status relevant.. profit center is optional in all cases..
Now, Pls consider the scenario without business area in document splitting characteristics..
If I post an expense, profit center is picked thru cost center and segment thru profit ctr. The vendor or bank line item inherits the characteristic values from the previous line item.
Now, in addition we have business areas in doc splitting characteristics.
Business area, again is populated thru cost centers, along with profit ctr and segment.
The business area gets correctly populated in the vendor line item.. but the profit center doesnt.
Please let us know the reason..
