Avoiding DUMMY value for profit center while posting COPA document

Hi All,
I have a requirement where I post a document using BAPI_COPAACTUALS_POSTCOSTDATA using a Z Program.
Everything works fine , but if we do not mention the profit center explicitly, it takes the value as "DUMMY". Same happens with KE21N.
I want to find a user exit where I can change this dummy value to blank again. I do not want posts with DUMMY profit center values.
Can you please suggest where can add my custom code. I think this should happen just before the document is posted.
Kindly suggest where should I add my code.
Regards,
Barkha

Hi Gangadhar,
Thanks for the input.
But for now our requirement is still the same.
So what can be the other way round for this?
Anyone, any more inputs pls.

  • Substituion of profit center while posting to internal orders

    Dear experts
    Can anyone guide me to substitute a different profit center while posting to a real internal order.
    I tried substitution rules, user exits, etc.  Eventhough the control goes there, substituion is ineffective since profit center assigned to the internal order in its master data is getting replaced again.
    Any other work around is possible to achieve this.
    Thanks

    Find below your clarification for the points
    Why we assign cost center while posting to any G/L, even though we have been assign cost center to the cost element it will post the co entry through cost element.: Once you have assigned cost center to cost element in T.code OKB9 or KA01, no need of manually entering the cost center for the respecting primary cost GL while passing enteris.
    Please any one make me understand the internal logic and process of how cost element and cost center works.: Whenever you post a cost to primary cost element , you require an object in Controlling , such as cost center to identify the costs. This primary costs are only created when the respective GL exist in the operational chart. Cost center is the location where cost incurs. Thus when you assign the cost to cost center , the cost will be booked against that particular location .

  • How to set default value in Profit Center field of Tcode F-02.

    Hi!
    Is it possible to set a default value for 'Profit Center' field in t.code F-02? Is there a way wherein the value will be copied in reference to the entered Business Area?
    For example, if during parking/posting of document, user input a value of 300 in the Business Area field, the system will automatically put 300 in the Profit Center field. Is there a way to do this?
    Hoping for your feedback.
    Thanks,
    April

    Hi
    Using the substitution this can be achieved.
    TC:GGB1
    Step-1: Prerequiste select the Company code for which this requirement is needed
    Step-2: In Substitution field, select the the "Profit center" field on selection of the field - system'll asks you -  How would you like to substfield BSEG-PRCTR ? with the 3 options
      i.constant value
      ii.exit
      iii.Field-Field assignment
    Select the 3rd option on selecting 3rd option before going to save that substitution it'll ask you to input which field should input the field BSEG-GSBER:Business area
    Step-3: activate the above substitution in TC:OBBH
    With the above settings whenever any value inputs in Business are field then the same value will be substituted in the Profit center field.
    Note: Make sure in all FSG - business area & profit center having the field status optional
    Can you tell me onething why this requirement has came ? Is business area and profit center are same in number and prupose

  • Tables for Profit center and Risk Category

    Hi,
    Can anyone please tell me in which tables the values for profit center and risk category is maintained at.
    Thanks
    Lilan

    Hi Lilan,
    Profit Centre's Data element is PRCTR. You can just press Where used button by going into SE11 and see in what scenario you need this field.
    Because PRCTR field is maintained for Sales Order, Production Order tables and many other tables.
    You need to look into ur requirement that what scenrio u are working in.
    Please award points if helpful.

  • Relation Between Dummy Profit Center and Posting Keys.

    Hello Gurus,
    It will be a valuable feed back for below mentioned Scenario.
    One of our client is on SAP Version 4.7 and New GL is not activated. In COCD one Customer Invoice entry is booked as below.
    PK     Account           Amount      Profit Center
    01     SURXXX1            100.00         ABCD
    50     REVENUE A/c      50.00         ABCD
    50     ENT TAX               20.00         ABCD
    50     SERVICE TAX       30.00         ABCD
    After running t codes 1KEK, F.5D, and KE5T for customer line item system picks same profit center as mentioned in other line items i.e ABCD.
    But when we reverse the above document system picks DUMMY Profit center instead of ABCD. 
    PK     Account           Amount      Profit Center
    12     SURXXX1            100.00         DUMMY
    40     REVENUE A/c      50.00         ABCD
    40     ENT TAX               20.00         ABCD
    40     SERVICE TAX       30.00         ABCD
    Basically we have checked field status variant for Posting Key 01 and 12 in which Profit Center field is Required and field status for profit center for reconciliation account is also required. This is unusual behavior which we are facing right now.

    Profit Center :
    A profit center is a management-oriented organizational unit used for internal controlling purposes. Dividing your company up into profit centers allows you to analyze areas of responsibility and to delegate responsibility to decentralized units, thus treating them as "companies within the company". EC-PCA lets you set up your profit centers according to product (product lines, divisions), geographical areas (regions, offices or production sites) or function (production, sales).
    Profit Center Accounting (PCA) allows you to calculate internal measurements of profitability. This internal view of profitability, then, reflects the success of a given profit center at meeting the profitability goal for which it was given responsibility.
    Cost Center :
    The cost center is an organizational unit in a controlling area. Cost centers can be defined according to several different design approaches. A typical approach could be for an enterprise to define a cost center for each low-level organizational unit that has responsibility for managing costs. As costs are incurred, they are assigned or posted to the appropriate cost center. These costs could include payroll costs, rent and utility costs, or any other costs assignable to a given cost center.
    Each cost center is assigned to a category, e.g. Administration cost center, production cost center, etc. Each cost center master record has a field for the name of the person responsible for the cost center.
    For detailed information go thru the below article

    Hope this helps.

  • Posting depreciation run (AFAB) for profit center

    I have 3 plants and each plant is created as separate profit center.
    All plants want to run and post depreciation independently. So i wanted to know if AFAB (depreciation posting) can be executed profit center-wise.
    Please advice

    There are no SAP notes.
    Because we are looking something beyond the original design of the system.
    You can post the depreciation per company code, but not for profit center. In AFAB, you cannot get profit center selection screen.
    As a statistical object, finally your profit center gets the postings, which you can view them in the report.
    But, if you want to run AFAB based on profit center selection criteria, then, it is NOT possible. There is NO SAP notes for that.

  • Accounting error : Posting not possible for profit center XYZ In company Z

    HI folks,
    Do any of you have come accross this error in passing of billing doc to accounting " Posting not possible for profit center 153 in company code Z134. Kindly let me know what could be the possiblity and the solutions
    Thanks,
    Kamal

    Hi,
    Might just be better off to take the guidance from your FI guys. Pl. check if all the assignments are made correctly, like the material is linked with a profit center and this profit center to a cost center and finally to the controlling area. Also check if the currency of the profit center is the same as the controlling area currency.

  • Lost of profit center with posting Bill of exchange

    Dear all,
    When we are posting bill of exchange a new document is created with a default profit center, is this case we losing the offsetting profit center of the original document..
    is there any solution to avoid this problem ??
    Thanks in advance
    MN

    If document split active and real time integration between fi and co active, then you can do profit center reposting through KB61.
    based on the CO entry system will create FI entry automatically for the adjustment.
    e.g.
    GL account 1Dr 200(PC-1)
    GL account 1Cr 200(PC-2)

    Thanks Abhijit , I can now see my report group at the bottom of the list .I assigned you full points.I posted another question regarding report painter .If you could also give me some guidance on that.When I was creating rows and updating cost elements with account numbers.I set up 3 revenue accounts and then ran the report to see if I get any data for profit centers.I did get data but when I double clicked on one of the account,it displays this messsage.I read the msg. but could not make any sense with it.for example in definning row I put account number from/to  400000- 400000    Explode. and thats a characteristic.
    No valid master data for characteristic 'Account Number'
    Report MEG1 does not contain any data pages.
    No valid master data for characteristic 'Account Number'
    Message no. GR633
    Diagnosis
    No valid master data within the specified interval was found for the characteristic 'Account Number'.
    Explanation:
    For each characteristic that is processed in a report, the Report Writer optimizes the interval limits which are relevant for selecting data from the database.
    Example:
    A report contains the characteristic 'account', for which an account interval from 100000 to 200000 has been entered.  However, if the master data validation shows that the lowest/highest account in this interval is 110000/190000, the selection will be limited to accounts 110000 to 190000 only.
    The system returns this error message if no master data exists for the interval.
    This error is typically caused by an invalid version.  In FI-SL Special Purpose Ledger, for example, versions are assigned to the ledger and are defined in configuration.  The report definition can then contain a non-defined version.  A similar situation applies to controlling (cost center accounting): here, versions are assigned to the controlling area and fiscal year and can be defined in planning.
    Another cause of this error is a ledger that is not assigned to the table for which the report was created.
    Technical information:
    The field name for 'Account Number' is 'RACCT'.
    System Response
    The system cancels processing.
    Procedure
    Check the report definition, or the specified master data, or the intervals.
    Regards
    Shaun

  • Profit center is posted to asset account??

    Hello experts,
    I wonder it is correct that profit center is posted to asset account.
    Now our B1 2005B does that.
    For example,
    In AR credit memo (or Sales return) , we input profit center XX into the documents.
    Then B1 create Journal Entry as below;
    Dr
    Sales Revenue 100 , profit center XX
    Inventory 50, profit center XX
    Cr
    AR 100,
    Cost of Goods Sold 50, profit center XX
    Inventory account is asset account, so I'd like to know this is correct and SAP's spec ? or SAP's bug?
    Please give your advise,
    Kaori

    Hi Kaori,
    The functionality is slightly different in the B version so I can tell you how it working in the A version and maybe you can verify this.
    The Profit Center should only be allocated to accounts that has been defined as Account type 'Sales' or 'Expenditure'. If the Inventory account is given this definition it will allocate the profit center to the inventory as well.
    Normally by default P&L account are set as 'Sales' or 'Expenditure' and Balance Sheet accounts set as Account type 'Other'.
    Hope it helps.

  • Cost component split transfer for Profit center valuation in ke27

    Dear All,
    We have activated multiple valuation/transfer prices. Material ledger is also activated.
    We want to transfer cost component split to CO-PA by ke27.
    We have defined separate costing keys for access to actual cost estimate for legal and profit center valuations.
    But cost component split transfer to COPA works only for legal valution. Even we have defined type of valution for profit center  costing key -transfer cost component split and total costs.
    What should be else customized to transfer cost components splitting in profit center valuation to CO-PA from actual cost estimates?
    With best regards,
    Kamila.

    Hi,
    I have assigned the same value fields used for legal valuation to column 2, which was pointed in message.
    But now I got following message in ke27:
    For actual data, value fields that were already populated before CO-PA valuation cannot be changed in valuation.
    1. As a rule, value fields that were filled before CO-PA valuation - be it from SD or by a manual entry of a line item - can only be changed by means of user exits.
    (Note that for plan data, CO-PA valuation always has priority over the values planned manually.)
    2. The valuation steps in a CO-PA valuation strategy are numbered sequentially. These numbers determine the order in which the steps are carried out within that strategy. As a rule, value fields populated in one step can be used as a basis for calculating values for other value fields in a subsequent step.
    Value fields that were populated in a previous step are generally not overwritten by subsequent steps.
    The exception to this are steps that use a CO-PA user exit. User exits let you change individual value fields.
    3. If you valuate using multiple material cost estimates simultaneously, this means that the values of different cost components within the same cost estimate are aggregated and then entered in one CO-PA value field. However, value fields that already contain data from a previous cost estimate are not overwritten by a later cost estimate. Consequently, you should assign value fields in Customizing so that the values of different cost estimates are entered in different sets of value fields.
    4. When condition values are transferred to CO-PA value fields, note that condition types that are assigned to the same value field are added together. This is also the case when the condition types come from different costing sheets within the valuation strategy.
    So does it mean we should define separate value fields for PC valuation?
    With best regards,
    Kamila.
