Can 'DUMMY PROFIT CENTRE' postings be reallocated to a 'real' Profit Centre

I am working for a company that was implemented with the majority of Cost Centres having no Profit Centre assignments. This means that all the historical PCA documents have been posted to DUMMY PC. We now wish to change this concept by creating new Profit Centres and assigning the current Cost Centres to them. Will only new transactions post to the new Profit Centres or is it possible to redirect historical PCA postings to the new structure? The system has been live for a few years but it would be extremely useful if at least the last and current fiscal year postings could be re-assigned.
Many thanks for any guidance with this topic.
Kind regards,
Alan Gilbert

Hi Gilbert
1. Historical transactions as such wont flow automatically to new PCs..
2. But you can either create a distribution cycle or use 9KE0
Using 9 KE0: You can calculate cumulative values per GL / Prof Ctr combination and do a mass upload using 9KE0
Or If you use BW for reporting, you can also upload the values in BW

Prevent Dummy Profit Center Postings

Hi All,
During posting of accounting documents (for eg: In T-code F-02), we need to prevent documents getting posted to dummy profit-centers when I post documents with cost-centers which are un-assigned to any profit center (T-Code KS02). Instead we need to bring in to the profit-center posted by the user. We have PCA activated.
We have tried to achieve with a substitution along with an user-exit (T-code: GGB1). But the user-exit is getting invoked only after the assignment of Dummy profit-center and is overwriting my profit center. Is this approach right? FYI, the substitution is done at the Financial Accounting/ Line-item level.
Kindly enlighten me with your solutions.
Thanks and Regards,

hi,
GOto tcode 3KEH and assign a default profit center wihc can be other than your dummy profit center. the Purpose behind this assignment is the system would not post your documents to the dummy in the first place and secondly while posting a transaction if you happen to select the profit center as B assuming profit A is assigned as the defualt profit center in 3keh against those g/ls , the system would check and post the transaction in the profit center assigned in the transaction and in the absence of the profit center in the transaction system will check if their is a default profit center assigned in 3keh for those g/ls incase if the system detects the default profit center which is other than your dummy then the postings will be made to that profit center. remember you can have only B/S accounts assinged in 3keh.
hope dis helps

Postings on profit center but does not appear in the profit center report

Hi all!
I have a very strange problem. My customer is using cost of sales accounting. When I reconcile the cost of sales accounting profit and loss report with a profit center or cost center report I found that for a certain month there is a few descrepancies. I found that for a certain functional area I had postings on a specific account (account 451240 loss price differences) on functional area and both on cost center and profit center but these postings does not appear in the profit center or cost center reports. When I look at the postings in fbl3n or fs10n I can see that they are assigned to both cost centers and profit centers. How is this possible? How can a posting be made to a cost center or profit center but not appear in the corresponding reports?
Many thanks for help in advance,
Åsa

Problem solved

Profit transfer postings aren't showing in transaction fmb_pt01

We are running ECC 6.0 and are looking for a budget/actual report other than FMAVCR01. FMB_PT01 looks promising but the report excludes value type 66 - Profit Transfer Postings in the summary. How do I go about including this value type in the report?
Update: Looking at the text symbols in program RFFMREP_LDB_PT01, I see that symbols 001 - Budget, 004 - Invoice, 005 - Bud-Inv, 006 - Open Items and 007 - Residual Budget are present in the report. What I am looking for is symbol 002 - Payment.

Hi, Thomas,
Based on what you described, yes, PBET is on. With update profile 102 that report will lump value type 66 to invoice column (we are using 102 too and I verified it by drilling down in the invoice column).
Please compare update profile 101 with 102 in table FMUP01. With 101, VT54 - invoice is in the midle of the 'chain' (the reduction update indicator) while VT57 and 66 are both at the end of the 'chain'. With 102 VT 54 and 66 are both at the end of the 'chain', no payment update.

Profit center in accounting document is differ with profit center in PO

Dear Expert,
I have created 2 PO. 1 PO is with material number, and the other PO is without material number. both PO have account assignment category H ( Cost Center - COGS)
I also have created 2 MIGO with reference to each of the PO. but when I checked the FI document in Material document I found that the profit center in accounting document is different with profit center in PO - this problem only occur for PO with material number. Profit center displayed in accounting document is refer to ZOKB9 (user exit)
Material ledger is active for this material number.
My question is what may cause the different profit center in accounting document and in PO?
How to solve it?
Thanks
Pauline

HI,
possible reasons are :
In GR document profit center pulled from PO Material :
If you have ordered with material code, must check profit center assigned into material by mm03/Plant Data2
If you have ordered without material code, than check cost center assigned Profit center by 1KE4

Well if you got the Phone Pggray43 at a Local Corporate store in your Area) you should be able to return it as long as you have all the contents.! Phone, Charger and any other accessories that came with it the Box of Course.. As long as you have not went past the 14 Day return.. the store can go over what you used as in Air Time and Data..
Now if you've went past the 14 Day return you be Liable to pay a E.T.F = Early Termination Fee the fee for this is around $300 so hopefully you have not went past the 14 Day return window the Manager if Available is the one I would talk to tell them your on Social Security and you just can't afford a phone as this I'm sure they'll work with you to get something solved..
Hope ya have Good Luck.! b33

Can VDSL2 can be made to work at 2km in the real ...

I placed an order for BT Infinity as soon as it was available, since we currently sync at around 1.7 - 1.8 Mbps with ASDL on a good day (and with an SNR tweak ), hence an improvement in speed would be very welcome.
BT sales were confident that I could get 15-22 Mbps with Infinity, which I thought a little optimistic, though from the various graphs in circulation, 15 shoud theoretically be just about achievable with our line length of 2.1km to the cabinet. However, the engineer said that in his experience, getting any kind of connection at all with Infinity at more than about a mile was difficult or impossible. Sure enough, when he tried, the sync speed was less than 1Mbps, so he switched it back to ADSL. What is the experience of others on the board? Are we really doomed to sub-2Mbps connection forever, or has anyone managed to get a stable VDSL2 connection at >2km? I am not worried about super-speed; anything over 2Mbps would be very welcome, and I would be ecstatic if we could reach 5. It's a shame that ADSL from a from a fibre-connected cabinet is not possible; with a halving of line distance to the exchange, we might even be able to break the 2Mbps barrier!
If VDSL2 can be made to work at >2km in the real world (as opposed the the dreams of marketeers), then theoretically a solution would be ugrading the copper line. One other thing that the engineer mentioned was that there appears to be a "battery fault" on the line, and on a previous occasion I recall another BT engineer comment that the whole line is in a very poor state. Unfortunately(!), the phone works OK (though maybe little faint and crackly), so what chance do I have of getting the line fixed or replaced as a a result of failure to get Infinity (despite the promises of the sales department). I suspect I know the answer....
Incidentally, these are the results of the BT Broadband Availability Checker. Are the quoted FTTC speeds usually wildly optimistic?

Yes, I have seen that graph, and this one:
and this one:
They all indicate that it is THEORETICALLY possible to get VDSL2 at my distance from the cabinet. However the BT Openreach engineer wielding the IDC tool said that in his experience it is not possible. Is he right and the graphs wrong, or vice versa? I was really after some real-world experience of success/failure at this kind of distance, and if it is normally possible to get some kind of connection in reality not just on a graph, then is there anything I can do or anyone I can talk to to get any aluminium parts / dodgy connections / water ingress / wiretaps / etc. fixed ?
It is a little early to ask neighbours; the cabinet was only enabled a couple of weeks ago! I do know their experience with ADSL is similar to mine, or worse.

Dummy PC/ Intercompany postings

Hi Experts,
Can some provide me some reason why the dummy postings occure in any transaction related to AR, AR, intercompany, balances postings?
One of the reason i know is if we don't assing Profit center to the source objects like costcenter, WBS, order etc we get postings to dummy pc. can there be other senarios
Thank you!

Hi
Another scenario related to the one you already pointed out is
you have assigned a profit center, but the document splitting rules do not include the item which has profit center as the source item or does not have the other items as accounts to be edited.

Why Can't I See The Artist's Name In The Media Centre Play Mo

I'm listening to my Zen Touch on my computer at work. I'm playing my music through Media Centre and cannot see the Artists' Name in the player. I only get a number (the number of the file within the player, I presume).
Anyway to correct this problem? I'm sorry if this is covered in any new update. I didn't see it in the list of descriptions.

I assume that you are refering to the Creative MediaSource Player/Organizer. In this case, you can view the Artist name of the track in the Now Playing window. You need to make your Now Playing window wider so that you can see the Artist column.

How can one get FI postings number with a specific payment term

Hey everyone,
A short question on FI postings. I need to find postings, which include a specific payment term. I tried to check through the BSEG table but I can't filter the output with the parameter 'payment term' (field ZTERM). Any idea to get the info?
Thanks!
Stan B.

Hi Stanislas,
I think your search will be more efficiently if you search in table BSID for the open item customer document, BSAD for all the customer document.
You can select the company and the payment term.
Hope it will help you

Extract & delete in the start routine.
It will get to BW but they are not updated to the cube/DSO.
Or in OLTP delete the lines from those profit centers (in the user exit of the extractor).
I prefer the first suggestion.
Are those acceptable?

Hi:
4 divisions of business.
In Cost center accounting, create 4 cost center groups which represents four divisions.
In each divsion, there are departments which incur costs.
each department is a cost center.assign the cost center to cost center group.
Ex: Finance Department,HR Department,Sales Department etc
In Profit center Accounting,create 4 profit center groups which represents four divisions.Identify the profit centers in each division and attach them to that particular profit center group..
Please let me know if you need more information.
Assign points if useful.

Can not perform any postings for a material

I am trying to post stock into the warehouse through MB1C with 561.I am doing it in Dev sand box.The company code is not accepting my postings in the current period.Its is accepting for past periods.How do I update this in for the current period?

As per my understanding the current period in your system is 07 2007.
Incase of of Company Code, if it is the same, then enter Company Code ony once.
Please do not enter the period 07 2008 as it is future period & once you open that period it is difficult to revert back.
If possible ask an MM consultant to do the same.
Incase you require to do it, in that case enter company Code & period 08 2007. Similarly do the same till period 10 2007, as I suppose the current period should be 10 2007.
However, safest is to to enter Company Code & current date in T.Code: MMPV
