Cannot change profit center in profit segment

i have a problem while changing profit center in profit segment via t-code VA42.
system is not allowed changing them after the contract item was billed.
by checking characteristic derivation rules in t-code KEDR.
system issue message "This derivation step is predefined and cannot be modified or deleted." for PRCTR field.
I think it's the result from characteristic derivation attribute which set to "Do Not Overwrite If Fld Already Filled."
can anyone help me change them into "Overwrite with New Value Only If New Value Found."?
or anyother suggestions?
best regards,
Panuwat Sarunsiri
PS. my SAP system is 4.6C

The following are created as profitability segments by deafault which we cant change.
Controlling area
Company code
Business area
Profit center
best regards

Splitting in NEW GL with one profit center and two segments

What options are avialble for splitting in New GL when there should be one profit center and two segments - maybe characteristic derivation could solve it?

If I have understood your question correctly then you have one profit center and you want to attach two segments to it.
Segment is higher level than the profit centre. One segment can have n number of profit centres but one profit centre will have only one segment. This is the drawback in using the 'segment' in SAP. Also, it is difficult to change sengment embedded in profit centre master.
You might try using profit centre groups than segment.

Profit Center Configuration for segment reporting

Hi Experts,
We use flexible upload for first consolidation, at that time we take profit centers as prefix P company code eg., Company code: ABCD then profit center : PABCD
In LDS mapping tab page for profit center configured move with constant as "PABCD" and then for segment we use reassignment based on segment - Company code - GL accounts.
Now client requires wants to take actual profit centers for segment reporting
For this we are going to changed in LDS as follows:
1. Removed constant value "PABCD" and maintain source attributes - Profit Center in profit center
2. Removed all reassignment and configured reassigned segment based on profit centers and GL accounts is it correct procedure if not please guide me how to do
If the above is correct we expecting problem may be as under:
1. In Total Records FS items shows both Actual profit centre and PABCD how i can resolve - may be post any entry if so in which period before Balance carryforward period or after
2.We are going to execute Balance Carry forward Task in next month, what is result for FS items and profit centers, is carry forward with actual profit center or PABCD or Both
Pls give reply
Thanks & Regards

Where it coming from for Profit Center in Profit segment

Hi Guru,
I am using customer service module, want to know where the profit center (in profit segment)derived from ? can give a summary for it.
is it coming from material? work center -> cost center?
thanks in advance.
Kick

Hello Kick Kick,
In material acquisition and sales, the system is able to derive the partner profit center automatically if the supplying or receiving partner uses the corresponding SAP applications on the same system and the same client.
- In the goods issue document the system assigns the partner profit center, which it derives from the purchase order.
- In the goods received document the system assigns the partner profit center, which it derives from the delivery data.
You activate this derivation in the Implementation Guide for Profit Center Accounting, section Preparation for Consolidation ® Reread Purchase Orders/Sales Orders, where you identify the trading partners in your SAP system.
Hope it helps. please assign points.

Profit center to profit center

How to transfer data profit center to profit center can any one tell me.

Hello,
if you want to use transaction 9KE0, you must first create a layout.
This is done by transaction S_ALR_87099788 - Maintain Layout for Document Entry (Accounting -> Controlling -> PCA -> Actual Postings -> Current Settings)
Create a new Layout
1. Menu -> Edit -> Gen.Data.Selection -> Gen.Data Selection
    Take for example the company code to the general data selection
     If you want to set the company code variable, then mark the second flag and type a 1 into the From field.
2. Maintain your lead columns.
    Add new lead columns with the button New lead column
    For example:   Create 3 Lead Columns: all with characteristic value or if you like characteristic value and name
                                                               First for Document Line, not variable From value 1, To value 20
                                                               Second for Profit Center, not variable From value *
                                                               Third for Account, not variable From value *
3. Save Layout and goto transaction 9KE0.
Select your Layout and the document type. (number range must be defined in customizing) -> execute
Enter general data (in my example company code) and press F5
Now you can enter up to 20 lines (as defined in line To value)
In the customizing you define for each document type what you will allow.
For example Type A0 is only allowed to post if balance is zero.
So your Line items must be entered positive and negative to make the balance zero.
Hope this helps

Function Module to Update the Profit Center in Profit Segment of SO?

Hi,
       I am updating the profit center with help of user exit in the sales order at the time of saving it. But my problem is it doesnt appear in the Profit Segment in the Account Assignment.
       So if i go to the change mode of a Sales Order do some change and save it, the profit center get determined automatically. Now if one goes into the display mode of the same order and goes into Account Assignment of a particular item we can see that the Profit Center in the Profit Segment pop-up is not updated.
      My question here is, is there a function module to derive/update the profit segment so all the details get updated in the user exit used to update the profit center?

Hi Deepika,
Did you find any way to update the discount pricing in camapign.

Segment reporting, split by profit center; still need segment splitting?

HI experts,
With reference to the subject of this post, I would like to have better understanding on the followings:
Settings (1) IMG > Financial Accounting (New) > Financial Accounting Global Settings (New) > Ledgers > Ledger > Assign Scenarios and Customer Fields to Ledgers ... I have settings of <Profit Center Update and Cost Center Update>
VERSUS
Settings (2) IMG > Financial Accounting (New) > General Ledger Accounting (New) > Business Transactions > Document Splitting > Define Document Splitting Characteristics for General Ledger Accounting ... I have profit center to be split (updated)
My concern, is I want to have segmental reporting. In the SAP material, it says that segment derived from Profit Center.
My Question: With the above settings (1) and (2), do I still need to have additional settings for segment? For example:
Settings (2), do I need to set segment here?
How about settings (1), any need to have <segment update>?
In settings (2), help file says: "This determines what fields in a ledger are updated when it receives posting from other application components." Not quite sure what this statement mean.
Thanks and regards,
sbmel

Hello,
The actual need of scenarios to be added in every ledger is the need for these objects to be updated in new tables like FAGLFLEXT. If you do not add scenarios then information of cost center, profit center , segment will not be updated in New GL Tables.
Hence it is mandatory to pass entire information related to Cost Centers, Profit Centers and Segment by adding relevant scenarios to all the ledgers activated.
Secondly, segment is such a field that can not only be derived from profit center but also through a BADI using a logic written using ABAP code.

Dummy profit center and profit center clearing account being used

Dear Gurus,
We are implementing ECC 6.0 and will have FI PCA.
I have 2 profit centers.(and one dummy profit center 9999)
1)RM common
2) FG1
When RM is issued to production order and order is confirmed, the goods movement are 261 and 101 respectively.
the entry at the time of confirmation is
Discription                          Profit center
Consumption of RM             9999
To RM inventory                RMCommon
FG Inventory dr                  FG1
To Factory output account 9999
What should actually happen is instead of 9999 consumption of RM should hit profit center RM common and instead of 9999 the factory output account should hit FG1.
The profit center clearing account is being used for the entry in the GL view (as opposed to entry view in accounting)
Only then will accounting treatment be correct.
I have checked field statuses of the respective accounts and they have profit center and segment as optional fields.
Can you suggest what may be wrong and where i need to change the splitting config.
Regards,

Hi
Profit Center is derived from the assignment of Profit center in material master in costing view.
In the production scenario,
Consumption of raw material Dr - PC of FG
Cr Stock of RM - PC RM
Dr Stock of FG - PC FG
Cr confirmation of production of the Finished goods - PC FG
The reason for that is the production order is created with respect to the Finished Goods, master data of the production order inherits from the Finished goods.
