Change profit center - in cost center - IDOC error

HI Experts,
One of our users changed a profit center in a cost center in the middle of the month.
As our message control is switched on warning message only, he could save the cost center.
The problem occured by automatically created idocs which are creating internal orders for each of these cost centers. The idocs cannot be processed due to the error message:
You have changed the profit center from x to y. This is only allowed when the corresponding configuration was made in Customizing. Then this message is only a warning, which you can ignore.
I went to message control again and changed batch processing as well for W, only field "standard" (grey) I was not able to change.
We still get the some error message. Could anybody help how we could get rid of this problem and process the idocs?
Resetting the profit center in the cost center did not help.
Creating a new analysis period in the cost center did not help either...
Thanks,

Hello,
You switch off the message in OBMSG transaction code.

Ravi

Change Profit Centre in Cost centre

Hello Experts,
I have to change profit centre in cost center (postings have been done on cost centre), how can I do ?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Catherine

Hi,
Once you post transaction to the Cost Center, we can not change Business Area or Profit Center assignment for the same Fiscal Year.
System will allow changes for the subsequent Fiscal Years though.
You cannot really reduce the number of Cost Centers. However we can restrict the validity period though. You can delete the Cost Center validity for the dates that do not have transaction with in the same Fiscal year as well.
Hope this helps

RE - Change profit center and cost center after LO activated

Hi ppl, One question. Is there any harm if we change the profit center and cost center of the business entity, building, rental unit only after the lease out has been activated?

No need to change the cost center, as you want to have valid from date as 01.10.2010.
Having profit center before that date is not an issue and does not have any negative impact.

Assignment of Profit center in cost center

Hello Friends,
What is the significance of assignment of profit center in cost center ? System does not allow me to post activity prices in KP26 without assignment of profit center to cost center. It gives error that
"Profit center 1000/DUMMY_PCA does not exist for 01.04.2009"
How to solve this error with out assignment of profit center in cost center?
Waiting for reply!

Profit Center is an Organizational unit in Accounting that reflects a management-oriented structure of the organization for the purpose of internal control.
Hence its Assignemnt with Cost center should be there for proper assessment of Organisation.
If you do not assign a profit center, the SAP System transfers the data from the dummy profit center defined in configuration for the respective controlling area to Profit Center Accounting.
Therefor proper cost center with Proft center assgined has to be used for Cost center / actvity type planning in KP26.

Functionality of Profit Center and Cost Center

Hi,
I am unable to understand the functionality of Profit center and cost center, I know that cost center represents area within an organization for which you will like to see the expenses for a particular time period. for example in an organisation we have three cos centers Accounts, HR and Admin. whenever you post an accounting document in FI you will specify the cost center to which the expense relates. but in some cases when you post an expense and give the relative cost center the profit center is also driven by the system. why is this behavior? i mean i have posted an expense not an income then why is system driving the profit center as well?
Profit centers are used if you want to see the profit of different area of your organisation. in what kind of postings we use profit center? and if we could use profit center to draw income and loss for a specific area why do we need segment reporting? and what is the difference between Segment and Business area. what i understood from their definition is that they are both same and use for same purpose.
I am totally lost in these concepts. please some one help me out with an example. i am stuck at this point. some one please clarify my concept of Profit Center, Cost Center, Segments and business area please.

Hi,
Cost center & Profit Center are organizational units within the enterprise structure , created for better internal control.
As the name suggests Cost Center is the lowest level of the organizational unit representing a defined location of cost incurrence or otherwise to which you can meaningfully assign the cost(both direct & Indirect).
Profit Center is an organizational unit in accounting ,where management would require to see the profitability & fix the responsibility. It may be each plant/division of the company .
If you consider the Plant is the Profit center, you can take the various deptts in the Plant as cost centers. you can draw a balance sheet & profit & loss account statement at profit center level but this will be for your internal use.From this you can know the ROI on particular area. Profit centers are assigned inside the cost center so when you update cost center, profit centers are updated automatically.
Where as Segments are used for legal reporting of your accounting standard as per IFRS. Both Business Area & Segments are more or less same with some technical difference.
Business area is a free organizational unit. It can be derived through cost center or can be entered manually.
But segment is a dependent organizational unit. It is defined & attached inside the profit center master data. It can’t be entered manually.
SAP suggest to use the Segment concept.
Thanks & regards

How to change company code in cost center master

Hi,
Can anyone throw me the light about how to change company code in cost center master? User make some mistake. They maintained wrong company code in cost center master and there are some transactions already posted to this cost center. I would appreciate all attention and point will be reqard. Thanks much
Best Regards,
Bird

Hi,
The cost center master data fields have time dependancy. Following are the details of time dependancy.
You can maintain master data for cost centers, cost elements, activity types, and business processes as time-based. Changes to any other time interval are possible at any given time. Data storage is also time-based. In this way, you can store multiple database records for a master data record, each holding different information.
The time-based dependencies are determined by SAP and cannot be changed. The following dependencies are possible:
Not time-based
Day-based
Period-based
Fiscal Year-based
Cost Center's company code field's time based dependancy is Fisal Year Based and hence, the company code can be changed on cost center only on new fiscal year. And hence, system will not allow changing company code on cost center master data until new fiscal year if transactions are posted to the cost center.
You may have to think of work around :
1) Create new cost center with correct co code
2) Repost the cost posted to old cost center (with wrong co code) to the new cost center.
Explore the possibility of this work around on your system with the key user and then see whether this option works out.
Hope this helps. Pls. assign points if this is helpful.

What is Budjet, Profit, Work and Cost center means?

Hi Guys,
Can u explain Budjet center, Profit center, Work center and Cost center? Also if i miss any other center like these!
What is the functionality of each in business point of view?
If possible with an example:-)
Thanks,
Vinod.

Hi.
Please use a search enginge before aksing here. BTW: If you use a search engine perhaps it is advisable to write 'budget' instead of budjet.
And before I forget this I would like to point out that your question is not related to ABAP. Therefore this forum is not the right place to ask it anyway...
Thread will be locked.

Can we change the date of cost center

Can we change the date of cost center with we have already created????????

Hi Shivika
Changing a date can mean many things.. Example - You created a CC from 01.01.2014 to 31.12.2015
If you want to have the Validity from 01.01.2013 now, create the CC from 01.01.2013 to 31,.12.2013 from KS01
If you want to extend the validity till 31.12.9999, again do the same.. KS01 -> Create from 01.01.2016 to 31.12.9999
If you want to shorten the validity i.e. say, You want the CC to be valid from 01.01.2015 instead of 2014, then you can delete the CC from KS04 for 2014 provided no data is posted (plan or actual)

Change validity period of cost center from 2009 to 2008

Hi All
I have created a cost center with validity period 01.04.2009 to 31.12.9999 which was supposed to be created from 01.04.2008 to 31.12.9999. when trying to change the validity period in Tcode KS02 I am getting the following message -
"New analysis period must not exceed maximum period limit". In TCode - OKEON the validity period button for that particular cost center is deactive.
In TCode KS13 when I generate report for that cost center with Parameters - Valid from 01.04.2008 to 31.12.999 I can see that the cost center is valid from 01.04.2008 to 31.12.9999.
In TCode KS03 Display Cost Center the cost center is valid from 2009 which has to be valid from 2008. Please advise on how to change the validity period from 2009 to 2008.
Regards

Hi Eli
Thanks for the reply and I have successfully created the cost center to be valid for the previous year as per the requirement.
Thanks & Regards

Cost center/work cost center

What is the difference between work cost cneter and cost center(cost center capture the cost via cost elements).but what abour work cost centers,

Dear Madhu,
COST CENTER INFORMATION:
Cost Center (KS01 - Create, KS02 - Change, KS03 - Display)
Definition of a Cost Center:
Master data and Configuration settings found in Controlling...
"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
WORK CENTER INFORMATION:
The following is information on how to create a work center and use it. If you need further information simply hit F1 Help in the application to explain the use of the main fields.
Work Center (CR01 - Create, CR02 - Change, CR03 - Display)
Using the data maintained for a work center, you can
- Determine which machines or people are to be used in the operations
- Calculate costs, capacities and dates for the operations
Transaction: OP42 - Allows you to Configure the default value for Work Center during the initial creation.
After creating many work center in the Routing, the users might want to check what materials and components allocation have been updated with this work center. You can used this program [Work Center in Routing - Search through all the routing for the material and component allocation used (|http://www.sap-basis-abap.com/abap008.htm]).
The standard program transaction CA80, checks where the work center was used in the routing. However, it did not list the components allocation for the work center.
Pooled Capacity field - When a production order 1234567 has the capacity requirement on its work center Wxxxxx. It means it has the requirement on pooled capacity Pxxxxx. If more than one work center shared this pooled capacity, the requirement (transaction CM01) will be shown on all the work center with the SAME shared pooled capacity.
I hope this helps to clarify the purpose of the Cost Center and Work Center and how they can be used.
Kind Regards,
Brendan

Derivation of Funds Center from cost center for Asset PR/PO in FM

Hello Experts,
We configured new FM area and relevant BCS settings. It is working fine except PR or PO for Account assignment category A.
Issue: system is not able derive funds center from cost center in the asset master. cost center is not updated in EBKN table for Asset PR.
we have maintained the following;
1. Funds center is activated in Asset account assignments
2. Maintained derivation rule with function module: FMDT_READ_MD_ASSET
3. Derivation rule for cost center to funds center also maintained
If maintain funds center manually in PR it is working fine and consuming budget also.
Requirement: How derive funds center from cost center assigned in asset. I have verified all tickets raised in this forum, but nothing has answered my question.
Request you to provide solution for above issue.
Thanks in advance for support.
Regards,
Chalapathi

Hi Venkata,
You have two derivation rules, first related to Asset function module and second one is related to CC and FC combination.
You need to maintain the function module derivation rule first then you need to maintain the derivation rule related to combination of CC and FC. Because first you need to derive CC from asset master and then you need to derive fund center with reference to this CC.
