Bus Area & Profit Center activatin in ECC 6

Hello Experts...
I am not well versed with new functinality of ECC 6 .. I want to know the pros and cons of activating Business Area when profit center is activ. As I heard tht SAP is not going to support Business Area in near future. and encouraging for profit center.. but one problem with profit center is that in so many transaciton Profit center is not the selection creteria liek clearing transactions..
So anyone can give me brief about this
thanks a lot
Regards
Pooja

PROFIT CENTERE ACCOUNTING IS PROFITABILITY PRODUCTWISE ,PRODUCT GROUP WISE OR LOCATION WISE IF BUSINESS AREA ISNOT ACTIVATED.
IN FUTURE IN CASE OF ECC6.ONLY CLIENTS WIL GO FOR PROFIT CENTERES BECASUE IN THIS CASE DOCUMENT SPLITING ALSO WIL EFFECT TO AND GIVE THE BALANCE SHEET PROFIT LOSSACCOUNT THROUGH PROFIT CENTERE WISE

  • K_PCA - EC-PCA: Responsibility Area, Profit Center

    Hi Experts
    Is there any report which will show which user has k_pca profit center access
    PFCG-> Z_USER_ROLE->AUTHORIZATIONS TAB-> change authorization data->Manually tap button type k_pca and press enter to insert authorization then you can see controlling -> EC-PCA : Responsibility Area Profit Center -> CO-OM Responsibility Area -> profit center group.
    I want to know how many users has access for CO-OM Responsibility area (P&L Access) and to what profit center group .
    Is there any tables in which a query can be wrote to fetch the detail authorization
    regards
    Piroz

    Have you executed a trace while a functional user executes the transaction code for the specific parameters? (i.e. document type). The trace will then show which objects are being checked; then look at the object documentation in txn Su21 to determine if there are any ways to restrict on the particular value; in some cases, if the authorization group field is being checked, additional configuration is needed in order to implement the security (Su21 will explain in detail for the particular object).

  • Profit Center Accounting in ECC 5.0

    We are on ECC 5.0 and having some issues with profit center accounting.  Is there any way that I can tell if Profit Center Accounting has been fully configured? If anyone has any documentation, I would greatly appreciate it.
    Here are the problems:
    1.  We are posting to profit centers during document entry (FB50, FB60, FB70, FB01, F-02, etc.) however, when I go to review the documents, it only shows the accounting document and not a profit center accounting document.  This doesn't seem normal.  I can confirm that we have a document type set up for PCA, but it doesn't appear to have a number range assigned to it.  Would there be any reason why a company wouldn't want to have PCA documents being created?  We are running reports out of BW as well....
    2.  When I try to run typical PCA reports such as
    KE5Z                Profit Center: Actual Line Items   
    S_ALR_87009712      Profit Center: Area list plan/act. 
    S_ALR_87013327      Plan/Actual/Variance: Profit Centers
    S_ALR_87013332      Curr.Period,Aggreg.,Year Pl/Act.PrCt
    S_ALR_87013340      PrCtr Group: Plan/Actual Comparison
    I get the message, "No data found."  I have gone to the GLPCA and GLPCT tables and they show 0 entries.  Are these transactions considered "old PCA" in ECC 5.0?  Are there other PCA reports that may read from new PCA tables or are there new PCA transactions in ECC 5.0?
    Thanks for any help or info.

    Hello Linda,
    The transactions are the same between the two versions.
    To check if the customizing is ok you could see :
    - If you have profit centers created KE53 or KCH6N
    - The 1KE1(customizing analysis)give you a profit center resume of your customizing.
    - Show if the 0KE5 transaction is completed with the controlling area, dummy profit center, valuation view, control indicator .
    - To show if the EC-PCA actual posting is activated, transaction 1KEF
    - GB02, number range have to be created.

  • Profit Center Accounting in ECC 6.0 New GL Accounting

    Hi,
    I want to make my understanding clear.
    If we are in ECC 6.0 and New GL accounting is active and also the One of the Document Spliiting characteristics is Profit Center, it means that all the document must have the Profit center to it.
    In this way we can get the Profit center wise Balance sheet.
    I hope my understing is clear till now. Please correct me if I am wrong.
    Now with this, my next question is , do we really need to Configure the Profit Center Accounting node Under controlling?
    If yes, why to do this? Because if we require Distribution or assessment cycle for the Profit center, it can be done through General Ledger Accounting node (New)  period end closing process.
    Please correct me if I am wrong.
    regards

    Hi Kerstin
    Assume you are on ECC 6.0 and you dont create Dummy PC...
    If doc splitting is active, you get an error that "PC in Line item XXXX not filled"... System does not look for Dummy PC in that case...
    Same behaviour should have been replicated in CRM as well.. Dont you think so?? If I have not activated EC-PCA, I am not supposed to get any error related to Dummy PC... Thats the basic premise of SAP, as far as I know...
    When Dummy PC is a feature of EC-PCA, system should look for it only when EC-PCA is active... Though you can say Dummy PC can be created from New GL Menu,, but the basic premise which stil remains is the behaviour is not the same in CRM & Other ECC components like FI, when the PC is not found.... One behaviour is as per EC PCA active and the other is as per New GL PCA active
    Anyways, thanks for sharing your knowledge on this,
    br, Ajay M

    Hi,
    I am using S_ALR_87012284  to generate my financial statements. But whenever I provide a profit center value in the dynamic selection screen, i will encounter the FAGL_DB007 error.
    The error message reads -->
    Invalid selection when reading balances in new General Ledger Accounting
    Message no. FAGL_DB007
    Diagnosis
    Read access to balances of New General Ledger Accounting can only be granted to selection conditions for fields in table &V1.
    System Response
    No balances can be read.
    Procedure
    Check the selection criteria by calling up the transaction.
    Anyway I can overcome this error?

  • Profit center Accounting in ECC 5.0/6.0

    Hi,
    Need to clarify that we need to do planning in BCS for profit center accounting & need to know what can be the table in ECC6.0 to pull PCA relevant data  with cost as we  may get from GLPCT& need to know that from ECC 6.0 old PCA is not to be used or we still can use old PCA . If we can not use old profit center accounting how we can run the report based on PC hier &  find out balances with cost to profit center.
    Regards,
    Vipin

    Hi,
    Thanks for answer. The GLPCT table is not getting activated in the case when we activated the new GL Functionality so not able to link that table to BIW. Need to know what are the relevant tables that can be referred to in FI that includes profit center data & Secondary cost postings in CO.

  • Controlling area profit center

    Hi all,
    Could anybody suggest me on what are the" impacts " for activating the profit center accounting at controlling area level.
    Thanks
    kishore

    Hi Kishore
    Just by activating, there is no impact..
    Activating PCA at controlling area level, means you can use the Profit Center Accounting in your system.. You can create Profit centers and add them in various masters like Cost centers, Int Orders, Material Masters, etc

  • Business area & profit center

    hi sap gurus,
    When it is useful to activate new Profitcenter & when it is useful to activate Business Area.
    Can any body narrate difference and benefts of each
    Thanks & Regards
    krishna.

    Hi,
    Profit center and business are org units and both are used for similar purposes.
    Business area is gared on external accounting where as profit centers are used for internal accounting purposes
    Business Area
    Based on the above we can prepare Balance sheet and profit
    centre for separate product segment, geographical segment
    etc.  In India for certain companies it is the external
    reporting.
    Profit Centre
    Based on the above responsble profit centre derive the
    profit (only profit) (revenue minus expenses).  Internal
    reporting
    Thanks

  • Impact Analysis: Business Area, Profit Center changed for Sales Order type

    Hi All,
    Can you please let me know the impact of changing the Business Area and Profit Center for Sales Order Document types.
    Scenario:
    Let's say that sales document type ZOR has been used for sometime. On this document x number of sales orders have been raised, delivered and invoiced over the years.
    Now, if you change the Business Area and Profit Center what would be the business impact.
    thanks,

    Hi,
    First of all itu2019s not a good business practice to change the Business area and Profit Centre.
    However if at all l you change the Business area and Profit centre the following is the impact::
    Business Area: effects the sales order in accounts assignment at Header level.
    Profit centre: effects the accounting part at Item level
    Overall in MIS reporting w.r.t Profit and Business Analysis in Finance will be affected.
    Thanks and regards
