Cannot delete profit centers

Hi, we're planning to re-upload our profit center data using LSMW. The problem is I cannot seem to delete the profit centers. After marking/deactivating all the profit centers for deletion (via t-code KE54) I processed the transaction to delete the inactive profit centers (t-code KEOD2). I made sure that it was an update run, therefore upon completion of the transaction, the profit centers should've been deleted. Surprisingly though, all the profit centers that should've been deleted earlier, were still in the system and their status have changed from Inactive: Delete to Active.
Anything wrong with what I did gurus? Hoping for your brilliant suggestions and comments.
Regards!

Dear Patrick,
In order to delete Profit Centers please refer to the following notes that provide comprehensive and detailed information to resolve your issues and suggest how to improve performance should you need to delete many profit centers.
Note: 9158     Delete profit center

I hope this helps to resolve the issue for you. I wish you all the best in your endeavours.

  • How to delete cost/profit centers and groups

    I am looking for a way to mass delete profit centers, cost centers, profit center groups and cost center groups. KS14 and 0ke2 works for centers but not groups. Are there any other t-codes or function modules?

    Hi,
    There is no mass transaction to delete the groups; you have to do it one by one. You can 'record' CATT case, if you have big quantity of them.

  • Error deleting Profit Center

    Hi All,
    Am getting the following error "A profit center scenario is active in new General Ledger Accounting" when I mark a profit center for deletion. Any idea on what is this and how will I be able to delete the profit center?
    Thanks,
    Rock

    Hi,
    If the profit center scenario is active in at least one ledger in the new General Ledger Accounting, you should not be allowed to delete a profit center using transaction KE54.
    If you want to delete profit centers within a test (for example, in a test system) even though the profit center scenario is active in at least one ledger of the new General Ledger Accounting, you can use Customizing transaction 0KE2 without selecting the "Execute checks" indicator in the processing options. As result, you can delete the profit center at your own risk.

  • Add Profit Centers

    Hi,
    I am trying to create an add-on that adds Profit Centers (Financials->Cost Accounting->Profit Centers). Is this supported by the DI API?
    thanks

    Hi Costas,
    Currently there is no object that allows you to handle (create/delete) Profit Centers.
    That is one object that I would very much appreciate.

  • Profit centers with COPA

    Hi,
    I have a few doubts about the need of EC-PCA in a project where COPA is being implemented.
    The client would like to get info about the profitabilyty of organisation units as well as products, groups of products, clients and so on.
    However he is unable to assign materials to only one profit center (which would be production departaments in this case). Different Finished goods, semi finished goods, wares and services can be assigned to more than one production departament. (a material index cannot be assigned to only one PC in this case).
    What would u advise me? Should I use EC-PCA but change the PC hierarchy or COPA is enough for these purposes?
    Best wishes,
    Karol

    Dear Karol,
    Here the some infirmation is about Profit center related and cost center.hope this infirmation will helps you
    You would need check the design of PCA and what the business wants to use PCA for. For example do you want to produce P&L Statements and or Balance Sheets by Profit centers etc.
    In terms of the cost center assignment to profit centers, the main use of this is to ensure that all costs posted to a cost center will be simultaneously posted to the assigned Profit center. Now in PCA configuration you have to create a "Dummy Profit Center", the consequence of this is that if a profit center cannot be derived (for example if you do not maintain a profit center in the material master) or from the cost center or a profit center is not entered in a posting, the entry will be automatically posted to the "Dummy" profit center.
    In terms of design, we are faced, in certain circumstances when we design PCA along the product lines for example, what to do with certain postings such as bank charges or admin costs, which are not directly attributable to the product line.
    One way to treat these, is to Create a "Corporate" or "ADMIN" Profit center and assign all the service cost centers to this Profit center and at month end re-allocate to the Product Line Profit center via Distribution or Assessment for example based on sales volume or fixed amounts or percetntages or SKF's to make the reporting more meaningful
    create additional profit centers and assign all admn, IT other than production cost centers to either Common, Admin or Corporate profit centers. Suggest you create following non product cost centers
    1) Corporate
    2) Admin
    3) Product Common
    Assign profit centers to cost centers logically
    In MM master records assign product related profit centers to RM and FG / SFG material types. This takes care from material accounting point of view in PCA
    For transfer of costs collected in Non Product related profit centers proceed as follows
    1) Create PCA assessment Cycles
    2) At month end allocate these expenses and check cost in non product profit centers is zero.
    3) Decide on the allocation basis
    4) This ensures that you have PCA wise all P&L items accounted.
    5) You can then design PCA wise report painter reports for PCA wise P&L
    Hope the above will help you

  • Transfer of Paybles to Receivables between Profit Centers

    HI Gurus
    We have the following scenario.
    There are four plants, each plant is defined as Profit Center and Credit Control Area also.
    Now we have payable for a Vendor (who is also a customer) in one profit Center and we need to transfer the payable to the
    customer, whose receivables are in other Profit Center and Credit Control Area.
    Now our requirement is when we transfer payable to receivable it should debit and credit the sender and receiver profit centers, which is not happening now and because of this credit control area receivables is also not reduced though we have option to enter the Credit Control Area while using T Code F-51.
    Can any one suggest how to resolve the issue.
    Regards
    Chandru

    Step1: Define your Distribution cycle in t.code: 4ke1
    Step 2: Run the distribution cycle in t.code: 4ke5
    Step3: Closing Profit center i.e. locking from postings(Not deleting) through Tcode-KE52. in that check the box Lock indicator in the tab Indicators. after that make it active again. then it will be locked to postings. so when ever any user pick this pctr it will give error messg.
    Hope this helps.
    Please assign points as way to say thanks.

  • Import profit centers with DTW

    Hi All,
    Is it possible to import profit centers into the SAP B1 2007A with DTW, ?
    I have to create 50 profit centers in a company, I cannot find template to import profit centers in the DTW:
    Is it possible?
    Another way to use copy express, because these profit centers are in another B1 company, but I cannot find the possibility in the Copy Express to copy profit centers. Where can I find?
    Thanks: Veronika

    Hi,
    Their are no ways... Even by programming, no interface exists in the DI-API for this object.
    Your only solution is either to create them from hand or by direct import in the DB (which I don't recommend).

  • Internal Profit (Between two/more Profit Centers)

    Dear friends,
    My client has nearly 30 profit Centers (Each product/line) and final product of one profit center sya X is an in put of production process of another profit center say Y.
    Here problem is that Profit Center X wanted to claim some internal profit margine on Profit Center Y because it supplying materials and Profit Center X want to treat Y as an External customer.
    Friends, this profit is shown in internal reports only (Profit center wise P & L Account) and it cannot appeared in Financial Statement. How this can be configured in the system? Please help me
    Thank you

    Hello Dasu,
    This situation is not unique to your client, but universal to enterprise operating with two or more company codes / business lines / products. 
    Recording inter-profit centre transactions at sales price is not that easy; however with the standard functionalities this can be achieved. SAP system has provided various functionalities with the combination of currency and valuation which is more commonly known as u201CTransfer Pricing or Multiple Valuation Approachesu201D.
    You define your currency and valuation profiles in Customizing under Controlling  Controlling General  Multiple Valuation Methods/Transfer Prices  Basic Settings  Maintain currency and valuation profile.
    You assign the currency and valuation profile in Customizing under Controlling  Controlling General  Multiple Valuation Methods/Transfer Prices  Basic Settings  Assign profile to controlling area.
    You activate the profile under Controlling  Controlling General  Multiple Valuation Methods/Transfer Prices  Activation  Activate multiple valuation approaches

  • Multiple profit centers under one code

    Hi Team,
    When we have more than one profit centers created under same code, the system gives "+" for the name and when we double click on the name1, it displays all the profit centers.
    Incase I want the name and details of the profit center as on today, how do we get it?
    Please refer this text at
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_47x200/helpdata/en/eb/13811243c411d1896f0000e8322d00/frameset.htm
    for better understanding and it reads-
    *If a field within the validity period or an analysis period contains several values, the system displays a u201C+u201D in that field. You can drill down to the values for the different intervals by choosing  or by double-clicking on the corresponding field.*
    *The hierarchy area is always time-independent. It applies for the entire validity period and cannot therefore be changed for individual analysis periods.*
    Hope somebody has a solution for this...
    Thanks
    Raghu

    Hi,
    I assume you are referring to a profit centre with several analysis periods. You can see the field values for the relevant analysis period by selecting the analysis period via u201Cset analysis periodu201D icon (F8) in KE53.
    When viewing the profit centre for the complete validity period, the u201C+u201D sign for fields with different values for different analysis periods cannot be prevented as there is no possibility to display multiple field values.

  • Classic profit centers reporting full b/s  below company code level

    Dear Experts,
    we are using classic profit center. How to get Profit center wise balance sheet below company code level.
    Facing issues for balance sheet GL accounts as at 3KEH one profit center i can choose...my requirement is to get 2 balance sheets for two profit centers.
    any suggestions ?
    Regards,
    Sekhar

    Hello Sekhar,
    With Classic profit center accounting correct balance sheet cannot be ensured at Profit center level.
    This is due to following reasons
    1. Vendor/ Customer line items -
    No assignment of Vendor/Customer recon accounts to Profit center in 3KEH.
    But in period end you have to execute F.5D and 1KEK to transfer this values to Profit center accounting based on the offsetting line items.
    This also might create problems if you don't clear the open items on period end as your Sales/Purchase will go to one Profit center and Payment will go to other (defaulted for Bank/Cash). Cleared items are not transferred
    Also, Transaction between Vendor and Customer will lead to some values posting in Dummy profit center.
    2. Asset line items
    Profit center will be determined by Asset master
    3. Tax accounts
    Mostly it has to go with Default Profit center. SAP has given option for re-determination of Tax line items profit center based on off-setting line items during period end (Tax account should be assigned to Dummy profit center in 3KEH). But this will work only for Sales/Purchase transaction, as payment will go to default profit center used for Cash/Bank. Again it might lead to confusion.
    4. Material accounts
    Profit center assigned in Material master is used.
    5. Other Balance sheet accounts
    These accounts like Bank, Cash, loan etc has to be assigned to default Profit centers using 3KEH. Else, user has to enter the correct Profit center during entry. If missed out, it will go to default profit center. Remember, balance sheet accounts not included in 3KEH (except for Vendor/Customer) will not be transferred to Profit center accounting itself.
    Hope it helps..
    Thanks & Regards,

  • Multiple Profit Centers in ISU

    Hi All,
    We are implementing SAP ISU for an Energy business which has multiple profit centers. In EK02 for a combination of Main Transaction , Sub Transaction , Account Determination ID , we can assign only one profit center.Now I want to generate Invoice from multiple profit centers but the Revenue GL Account will be same for all Profit Centers.So I want to know whether mapping of multiple profit centers with same GL account is possible in anyway.Account determination id I cannot use to achieve the same as account determination id is used for subledger code.
    Thanks in Advance,
    Banasri

    Hi,
    Thanks for your reply.
    I am elaborating the scenario as below:
    In my company I will create around 50 profit centers but the revenue GLs are same for all the profit centers.Now in EK02 , the key parameters are Co.Code/Division/Main Transaction/Sub Transaction/Acct Determination Id.
    Now for invoicing , I will use Main/Sub - 0100/0002.This main/sub will be used in 50 profit centers with same GL.But if I don't change any of the key parameters in EK02 , then I cannot change either the CO Acct Assignment key or GL Account.So only option remains is to use 50 Acct Determination Ids for 50 profit centers.But again these Acct Determination Ids are more relevant for sub-ledger code.So my question is whether there is any other way of assigning 50 profit centers to same main/sub , other than manipulating Acct Determination Ids.
    Thanks,
    Banasri

  • Assignment of cost centers and profit centers

    Hi Friends,
    can anybody give me a series of steps of assignment of cost centers and profit centers, like I know there is a T.code 3KEH, but I really dont know the chronological (step by step) order of steps to be followed to assign the cost centers to profit centers, as profit centers cannot be directly posted to and as the postings.
    And above all when I see the info about 3KEH, it says we need to assign only balance sheet items there and not cost items.
    Basically I've not studied Profit center accounting Properly and so I'm facing this problme
    If there is any documentation on this can anyone pass this on to: kiransandhyaATyahooDOTcom
    regards
    sandhya

    Hi Sridhar,
    Thnx for replying. I've gone ahead and defined cost and profit centers and did what you have told me to. Now this is where I'm stranded. How do I map profit and cost centers so that the we get the right kind of reports.
    Basically, my question would be: say for eg: if we are defining Company, Co.Code, before completing with Global paramters, there are a series of steps that we need to complete, right.
    Like wise, I just wanted to have a series of mandatory steps that I need to follow where the cost centers and profit centers mapping is done, atleast if I have the steps with me then I can go ahead and check the logic as to why should I define a particular step.
    Like I mentioned I happened to see some information about 3KEI, so before going to 3KEI or 3KEH, are there any other steps that I need to follow.
    I need to get the cost center and profit center reports, so that is what I'm looking for, and what do i need to configure, before getting to that point?
    I dont have a great insight into PCA, and I was not a part of the controlling configuration, but because a person has left in between the project, I'm supposed to do this and that is the reason why I dont have much time in doing R&D, and thats the whole reason why I'm seeking inputs which would actually minimise my time of R&D, once I'm able to convince my people, then again I can sit back and try to improvise my self.
