Automatic picking of profit center

Dear All,
  I have 4 Plants which is equal to profit center , and we have 1 GL  account for transportation expenses. so my requirment is that  if i post to this  transportation  GL account system should pick Cost center  which is assigned to the Profit center of that plant only  automatically.       
Shayam

Hi Shyam,
1. If the posting to this GL is from MM side then, you will have plant assigned in the P.O. and then from OKB9, you can have the PC & CC defaulted. To your Question that you cannot see the Plant in OKB9, then it is Valuation Area in OKB9 which means Plant. You need to put 1 in the Account Assignment detail in the first screen and then click on Detail per Business Area/Valuation Area and it will take you to another screen, where you can define plant wise CC & PC.
2. If the posting is from FI side, then enter CC/PC manually and maintain PC in Cost Center master data.

    Hi, to find bugs like these is always "triggy" and I am afraid that there are no easy solutions!
    You could try to go in TC GGB1 - go down to the substitution in "Create sales order" and there "activate total trace" or perhaps Expert trace - set breakpoint. After you done those go in and create the sales order again in the same session.
    In order to be successful here ... will you need the help of an ABAP'er.
    I believe the error to be related to master data as itu2019s usually are u2026 but sometimes are there a bug in the system.
    Good luck

  • System picking default Profit center as dummy profit center

    Hi all,
    when ever i posted a docuemnt with selected profit center by defualt system picking dummy profit center where i need to set pick selected profit center manually.
    Kiran

    HI,
    System may be picking up the dummy profit center from configuration which is overwriting your manual entry.
    eg: Substitutions in FI,  profit center derivation (3KEI) etc.,
    Check your configuration.
    Also, read through the link for better understanding of profit center determination:

  • Wrong step picked from Profit center Substitution.

    Hi,
    we have a number of steps created under a substitution rule (profit center accounting).
    I created a new step (1) with more details like sales org, sales order type, distribution channel, sales group and sales office with profit center "XXXX".
    However, there is an existing step (2) with the same sales org and distribution channel having profit center constatnt as "YYYY" in the same rule.
    I have placed the new created step above the existing step. so 1 precedes 2 in the rule.
    However, when creating the sales order it is picking up the profit center "YYYY" from the step 2. the details in the sales order matches for all the sales area data and order type of step 1.
    where am I making the mistake?
    Please help me on this.
    regards,

    1st pass
    Vendor A/c Dr
    to Bank Clearing Cr.
    In this bank clearing will inherit profit center from the vendor you are clearing.
    Then you pass
    Bank Clearing Dr
    To Bank Cr. In this bank will inherit profit center from bank clearing account. Hope in second entry you are posting as well as clearing the bank clearing account.
    Also check
    SPRO > Financial Accounting > General Ledger Accounting > Business Transaction > Document Splitting > Activate Document Splitting
    Make sure that "inheritance" is checked.

  • Profit center field is null /blank Not picking from responsible cost center

    Hi
    1) Does anyone know if it is possible to change the profit center on a PM order after transactions have occurred? I get an error that says:
    You want to change the profit center for the maintenance order.
    System Response:
    The system does not let you change the profit center, because postings to the order have already taken place.
    2) Even though profit center is maintained for the cost center of the main work center. Responsible cost center and Profit center fields are not being proposed by the system when the work order is being created using T-code IW31.
    Because of profit center field is null the system automatically picks dummy profit center"9999". This is not correct.
    Correct Profit center should comes from the cost center.
    Please help me to resolve this issue.
    Thanks in Advance
    Regards

  • Profit Center is not picking in F-29

    Hi Experts,
    Please let me know what could be the reason for not picking the Profit Center in F-29.
    Profit center is picking in case of F-48 but not in F-29.. New GL configuration is in place. Please let me know is there any other derivation method for this.
    regards,
    YJ

    Dear
    There can be two reasons.
    1.Since it is stated that system is accepting in case of F-48, cheque issue account GL might be defined as a default profit center in FAGL3KEH.  Else user might have put profit center while entering.
    2.In case of F-29, Cheque receipt GL Account might have not been defined as a default profit center in FAGL3KEH or user might not have entered profit center against this GL.

  • Wrong Profit Center being picked

    Hi,
    We have users who picks wrong profit center unknowingly, so is there any solution to restrict uisers to pick only particular profit center in a Plant while creating.

    Hi,
    Another suggestion would be to default the profit center in a respective cost object like cost center, or profitability segment (through derivation rule).
    You can also check OKB9 to default PC based on cost element.
    If business requirement doesn't allow you to default PC, then the validation rules can be set to restrict the usage of profit centers.
    Thanks,

  • Pick profit center from material master

    HI experts
    the client Requirement is while customer  payment the current system is picking profit center from customer master (there is a validation for customer to pick the profit center ) but now the client requirement is that ins ted of picking profit center from customer master it should pick from material,
    please any body can suggest is there any user exit for the above requirement or any other alternative
    Regards

    Hi
    I think you have written two substitution on one filed
    one is from the WBS element and another is from Material
    So one rule is overwriting now. i think it is taking value from Material but it is overwriting with past value ie from WBS
    Ask you abaper, after WBS rule your new rule should be trigger
    So that new rule will overwrite the old rule
    Advise : Dont keep contra entries like this, keep some if conditions

  • Wrong profit center picked during return GR

    Dear Experts,
    I'm doing purchase return process. Thus I created PO & then return material via MIGO by using movement type 161. I noticed that wrong profit center that system picked under account assignment tab in MIGO. This profit center field is grayed out so I couldn't change to correct profit center during MIGO .
    Let me understand where the system picked the profit center because there is no account assignment tab exist in said PO. So I unable to check where the prfit center come from. Or how may I check this in configuration path.
    Please understand me how the profile center play his role during PO & MIGO creation. Thank you.

  • Profit center wise Balance Sheet

    Dear Experts,
    I am working in a project right now and the company requirement is to get the Balance sheet profit center Wise.
    We are implementing ECC 6 and have activated Document splitting Functionality.
    We are Considering products as Profit centers.
    My concern is if I assign profit center in Material Master, my flow from PR to MIRO is working fine, as the system is assigning profit center at line items in Accounting from Material master.
    But at the time of Sales delivery the entry in accounting is
    COGS DR.
    To Inventory Cr.
    COGS is a cost element and I cannot post it without assigning cost center
    The issue I am facing is if I fix one cost center over here, it will only pick one profit center assigned to it, but I want to have different Profit centers
    Not only in the above entry, I am facing this problem on all automatic Profit and loss entries
    How can I assign correct profit center to the line item. Please suggest me some solution.
    Thanks and Regards

  • Profit Center in Process order

    Dear All,
    Can any one explain me how the profit center gets populated in process order assignment tab in COR3?
    1. From where it is picking the profit center (Is it pick from material master)?
    2. Any configuration required to get filled automatically?
    Thanks in advance
    Kumar

    Hi,
    Profit center is picked up from material master. if you maintain it in material master ---> Costing -1 view.
    However, if you are using project based planning & then system will replace it profit center of WBS element i.e. system will copy profit center of WBS element which is appearing in assignment tab of your process order.
    If you are not using Project based planning then material master profit center will be copied in process order.

  • How to change Profit Center

    Dear PS Gurus,
    Kindly help me out on this.
    My Query:-
    I am trying to create a PO using the T-code ME58. When i am selecting the PR and adopting it i get a message as "Profit Center was set to 9999". However i want to post the data to profit center 1300.To do so the system is asking me to to assign the PSG, cost center or other object to that profit center as well.
    Diagnosis by the System
    You entered profit center 1300 or transferred it from a previous transaction, such as material receipt from an external order. However, the system derived the profit center 9999 from the account assignments.
    Kindluy suggest as to where i should go and change the profit center so that i dont get the error message while creating the PO.
    Points will be rewarded.
    Regards,
    Gokul

    Dear NAG,
    As suggested i checked the Proift Center in t-code OKB9. I found the details as follows:
    CoCd - 1000 (IDES AG)
    Profit Center - 9000 (IDES Portugal)
    Cost Center - This field is blank
    Cost Element - 800000
    I checked the profit center in the material master also and found that the profit center 1300 is assigned, which is fine. Also i checked the profit center in my project. There too the same profit center has been assigned.
    I changed the profit center from 9000 to 1300 in t-code OKB9, and tried making the PO.But still i am getting the same error.I have checked the entire list of profit centers assigned to CoCd 1000 in t-code OKB9 but nowhere i could find the profit center 9999 assigned. I am confused as to from where the system i picking up this profit center (9999). When i checked the details of the profit center 9999 it was found that it is a Dummy profit center but i dont know where it is assigned and from where the system is picking this Profit center.
    Request you/anyone to knidly help me out in solving this issue. For your information i am trying this example in IDES.
    Please help me out.
    Thanks & BEst Regards,

  • Spec. Purpose ledger-Profit center

    Hello,
    We have a issue with Spec. Purpose Ledger account.
    There are 5 items in that account with 5 g/l accounts are updating. Out of 5, in 2 accounts profit center is updating wrongly.
    When we check that one of them is updating tax value. The profit center is updating from defaulted profit center assigned to company code and that specific G/L account. This is because when the value of the profit center is blank from where it has to pick the profit center, then default profit center should come. So this case is happening.
    Now I would like to know for tax values, from where the profit center will be picking.
    What are the different areas where this profit center will be maintained.
    Please reply if this information is not sufficient.
    Best regards,
    SASi
