Can we attach cost centre to profit centre group?

Hi all
I would like to know whether a cost centre can be attached to profit centre group or is it mandatory to attach it to only profit centre?
Also can i maintain profit centre and profit centre group at same level in profit centre hierarchy?
Regards
Smita

Hello
Cost center will be assigned to Profit center only not to profit center group. the main intention of the maintain the profit center in the cost center master data, what ever the transactions are posted to the particular profit center the same may be posted to Profit center.
Profit center group means, all the similar nature profit center will be clubbed under one profit center group or you can prepare the profit center groups for your reporting purposes also.

Cost centre and Profit centre in one query - Authorisations not working!

Hiya,
I have another problem related to Analysis Authorisations.
I have created an AA with Cost Centre and Profit centre access restricted to a certain node of a hierarchy (type 1 - this node and below). For example, the User can only run a query at Cost Centres level of Country Belgium - the query works fine. Now, the user wants to drill down by the relevant Profit centres. According to the log, the system checks for Profit centres like * and says the user is not authorised. All this, despite the fact that all Profit centres belong to country Belgium and user has been given access to see these profit centres.
What do I need to do to enable drilldown by Profit centre? I can't make a "*" access to Profit centre as the user will be able to run other queries at global level, which is not what I can allow.
Any suggestions?

Hello,
I don't know if it is relevant, but I had a similar problem when I had two characteristic each with hierarchy restrictions in one authorization object.
I "solved" it by separting each characteristic into its own authorization object.

Cost centre vs Profit centre

Hi to all
what is the exact difference between cost centre and profit centre?
Thanks
ravi

Dear
cost center
An organizational unit within a controlling area that represents a defined location of cost incurrence.
The definition can be based on:
Functional requirements
Allocation criteria
Physical location
Responsibility for costs
Part of a company seen as a separate area of responsibility, location or cost-accounting entity. Place at which costs occur.
profit center*
An organizational unit in Accounting that reflects a management-oriented structure of the organization for the purpose of internal control.
Operating results for profit centers can be analyzed using either the cost of sales approach or the period accounting approach.
By analyzing the fixed capital as well, you can expand your profit centers for use as investment centers

Allocation of cost from one profit center group to various profit centr gr

Hi Experts,
Here we created one profit center as group function having various cost centers like common function Admin,Accounts,Legal,HR etc. Now we want to allocate the the cost from group function to various profit center group.
Kindly give your valuable solution.
J.Francis

Hi,
The allocation can be done through Distribution either in a fixed value or in percentages. You can define a planning
cycle for a sender profit center group and define the amount to be allocated to receiver profit center group.
Define Actual cycle in the same way. In periodic processing which may be every month/quarterly/half yearly,
you can distribute the values from one group to the other.

Dear,
he profit center assigned to document row is copied to the Dist. Rule column in the journal entry only if the G/L Account in the respective row in the journal entry is defined in Chart of Account as Sales or Expenditure account.
If the G/L Account is defined as 'Other' the profit center assigned to it in the document will not be copied to the respective row in the journal entry.
Check the below link:
https://websmp201.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/011000358700000760832007E/CW34_FIN_Profit_Centers.pdf.
Check the COGS account type is sales or expenditure.
if it is other change it.

Profit Centre and Cost centre not updated

Hi,
I have posted expenses through FB60 and assigned cost centre to the expenses account and not for vendor item. Entry passed was posted.
But when i checked the document, i saw that the cost centre and profit centre is appearing in one line item (i.e. expense line item) only.
Afterwards i made payment through F-53. In this entry also there was no cost centre and profit centre in vendor line item. But the same was appearing in "outgoing bank" line item

Hello,
If you are on classical GL, your vendor line items or customer line item will not be updated automatically.
If you are on New GL functionality and document splitting, you will have profit center updated on customer and vendor line items.

Ravi

Profit Centre Reporting

Hi,
Normally plans are entered using KP06 in cost centre planning, Planning relating to expenses are appearing on both cost centre and profit centre reports, but Income plans are only appearing on cost centres reports, i would assume these should be visible in profit centre reporting as well. i am i correct? if so how can i see the incomes CE on profit centre reporting .
Appreciate your help
Thanks

Hi,
Income on cost centres is only statistical. Therefore, for income planning you should do it directly on profit centres:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60_sp/helpdata/en/eb/13740b43c411d1896f0000e8322d00/frameset.htm
You can also try 1KE0 transaction, but I cannot say if it will copy income accounts.

Document Splitting-Balancing field "Profit Centre"

I am trying to post an F-02 transaction as follows:
Salary & Wages   1000     Dr.   Cost Centre(A) & Profit Centre (A)
Salary & Wages 1000     Dr.   Cost Centre (B) & Profit Centre (B)
Salary Payable    2000     Cr.
But when I tried to post it, the system is showing the error that "Balancing field Profit Centre not found in item 3.
I am expecting that the item-3 as above should be split and inherit the profit centre information. However, the document is not split and the system is showing the error.
I cannot assign a default Profit centre to the item -3 . How can I reslve this error. Document type used is SA and it is 'unspecified posting' in the Document Spitting method 0012.
Please help out.

Dear,
Nikitha.
Isn't your system asking you profit center as your mandatory field ? If it is so just put your enter your respective profit center
and simulate the entry. ( In some cases enter your cost center system will catch assigned profit center from CC try out )
Follow the following path :-
IMG --- FA NEW -
General Ledger Accounting New --- Business Transaction -
Document Splitting -
Define Document
Splitting chracteristics for General Accounting.
Here is your PRCTR is defined mandatory.
If you untick it your system will allow you to post the document. But listen if you have activated segment also with that.
Your reporting will be of no use and result void.
In the SAP best practices it is said dont untick it if you have posted documents with same activated functionality
By unticking your profit center wise & segmental reporting will be of no use.
or do one thing go to down side of the same path a little you will see one transaction as Edit constants for non assigned
process select your constant and double click on assignment of profit center maintained there default profit center or
maintained dummy profit center 9999. Now your system will pick this profit center 9999 or your mentioned one
as your default profit center.
Or one more else thing you can do is by posting key make your profit center optional through its posting key's field status
group.
Hope this helps you to solve your issue.
Please revert back for further clarification.
Regards,
Pankaj.

Profit Centre Allocation

G'day all,
Hope this finds everyone well.
In any case, we have a scenario where 100% of revenues/expenses is initially posted to a profit center 1000 of company code A.
This then needs to be allocated to profit center 1001 of company code B.
Both company code are assigned to the same controlling area and uses the same cost centre and profit centre hierarchy but have different cost centre/profit centre groups.
We will be running on ECC 6.0
Can anyone advise as to how this can be performed?
Should we use distribution/assessment of the classic PCA functionality? OR should we use PCA allocation within New GL?
In either case, we are not sure how this works as we find that it is not possible to allocate revenues/expenses from one company code to another. Are we missing something?
Thank you,
Richard

Hello
I am not sure of transferring values to PC of a different CC, but check in 9KE0, maybe you will have parameters for inter CC transfer.
Actually enter the PC of the other CC and see what happens.

Automatic plan figures updates at Profit Centre level.

Hi,
I would like to know whether do we have any scenario like Automatic Plan figures updates at Profit Centre Accounting level when we do Cost Centre planning. The Profit Centre should be picked up by the system automatically from the Cost Centre master.
Of course, here the Cost Centre to Profit Centre relationship is 1:1.
If anybody come across the above required scenario, please let me know how to achieve it.
Thanks for your inputs well in advance.
Note: I know we can copy the Cost Centre plan figures to Profit Centre level by using copy function.
Regards.
Chandra

Hi
In version maintenance, you need to tick integrated planning....
In PCA, create the doc types for planning and maintain no ranges...
Also, if you are on New GL and you want to use New GL planning, you need to do settings in new GL menu for the same... assign version to ledger, fiscal year , etc
last month there were couple of threads on it .. Refer this link for new GL planning settings

Reval Balance sheet adjustment account splitting to Constant Profit Centre

Hi all
I am performing currency revaluation for Vendors.
Document splitting is active u2013 Cost Centre u2013 Profit Centre - Segment
The original invoice was split between two Cost Centres.
I revalue the invoice currency using FAGL_FC_VAL.
The batch processing -SM35- runs and gives a posting document number.
When I examine the document, the GL account created as the Balance Sheet adjustment account in OB09, is posting through the Constant PC and Segment.
This is then creating Zero balance lines in the CO-FI reconciliation account.
The expense/revenue account for gains/losses is being correctly shown in the Profit Centre.
My question is whether the Balance sheet adjustment account for unrealised exchange gains/losses should be using the constant PC and segment, or whether this is due to an error?
Any advice is appreciatedu2026

All I had to do was change the Field Screen Variant to G004 to enable the SM35 in picking up a cost centre> Job done

Profit Centre/ Profit Group

Hi
Is there any table where the details of profit centre and profit centre group being maintained?
Regards
Srini

Hi,
profit center master data: table CEPC.
inactive profit centers can not be identified from table CEPC but for such a profit-center there is a table entry in table CMDT_PC.
profit center groups: the whole content is stored in table SETHEADER (profit-center setclass is 0106), SETLEAF (the relationship between the groups), SETNODE (the profit center assigned to each group).
Best regards, Christian

Default Profit centre not picked up

Hi,
Document splitting is activated. Now i have assigned one bank account to one profit centre '1210' in tcode 3keh
I am posting customer receipt. Customer is in profit centre '1100'
I have defined zero balance clearing account - 20010010
Now when i posted receipt entry,
i was expecting the entry:
Bank A/c Dr (Profit Centre: 1210)
Zero Bal A/c (Profit Centre: 1100)
   To customer account (Profit Centre: 1100)
   To zero bal A/c (Profit Centre: 1210)
But the entry passed was:
Bank A/c Dr (Profit Centre: 1100)
   To customer account (Profit Centre: 1100)
Profit centre of bank was changed inspite of givin it in 3keh.
The above entry is perfectly passed in sandbox, but not in test client. I have compared the settings and its same.
Tell me what may be settings which is missed by me.

Use TCode: FAGL3KEH & not 3KEH for defining default profit centre

Profit Centre Derivation - User Exit

We have set up a substitution that is based on the sold-to party - i.e. we use data on the sold-to party to derive the profit centre (the profit centre is based on the country of the customer). However, ideally we would like to base it on the country of the ship-to party - but this data is not available to us in the user exit and, because the order is not yet saved, there is no table to read to get it.
Any suggestions?
Thanks Robert
