Changes to Profit center assigned to cost center

Hi
We have a scnario in which the profit center assigned to the cost center master has to be changed. We have been advised also to change the validity period of the same from the date of change of the profit center .However, the cost center has been used to for some data postings with the old profit center maintained in the cost center master. Now my query is:
1. What is the impact of changing the profit center in cost center master? In our case, some data has been posted to the cost center when the old profit center was maintained.
2. Why should we change the validity period of the cost center after changing the profit center assigned to the cost center?
3. Also, what is the way to transfer the entries which have been posted to the old profit center to the new profit center?
Regards
Sanil Bhandari

hi,
1) The impact of profit center is more in the cost center. when ever we assign profit center to cost center. the cost will be updated automatically. so there is no direct posting in profit center only statstical posting are generated.
2) second one when we want to create profit center first chek it out profit center valid and upto. if same is not maintained in creation of cost center . so u must have to change the validity periods
3) i am not sure this one i thing 7KEH OR 1KEF TC is there any way tommorow i will give the answer this questions.
if my answers are wrong plz correct and replay to my id [email protected]
thank you

Hi Ajay,
Thanks for your reply.profit center changes are working with analysis period changes.
i have one more issue here,i can't change hierarchy in cost center and getting errors..
Message no. KS042
Diagnosis
Field Hierarchy Area to be changed must be unique for the entire interval. You selected a change interval which does not include the entire period. Any change in the field would result in an inconsistency.
I have try to change time depended field in configuration.system is not allowing for field "KHINR" in OKEG TC.
any help is appreciated...

Function module for Profit Center group and Cost Center group changes

All,
The requirement is to change the profit center group and cost center group from one node to another. Please remember it is trying to simulate the transactions KCH5 and OKEO programatically.

Help is much appreciated.

Can we change existing profitcenter to new profit center of a cost center

hai,
can we change existing profitcenter to new profit center of a cost center in ks02
is there any problem in alredy existing data related to that cost center

Hi,
If data is already there for the Cost centre with old profit center the change of profit center is not possible.
If you transfer the data to other costcenter then i think you can change the Profit center.
Just try this.

Profit Center deriviation from Cost Center

Hi all,
I have just configured CCA and PCA for one of our new company code.
I have created 3 cost centers like A, B, C and subsequently same have been created as profit centers too.
Maintained the profit center in the cost center master data.
No other derivation rules has been configured so far.
Now i am trying to do a expense posting with F-02, after entering cost center, system is updating profit center field with a dummy profit center only.
Even i f a changed the dummy to normal profit center, again system replacing the normal PC with dummy PC.
I want like...when i enter CC as A, then i need to derive PC also as A for the line item. ( For both expense items as well as revenue items).
Please suggest.
Regards,
Srinu

Hi Chintan,
Thanks for your quick response.
We have already implemented the said SAP note.
Let me explain my requirement again.
We have IOA, CCA, PCA active in our system.
For every expense or revenue line item Internal order is mandatory.
apart from we have 3 cost centers and 3 profit centers ( 1:1 )
in cost center master , profit center is assigned.
1) users are going to decide the cost center, while posting FI direct entries only. So while doing F-02, they will enter CC, and IO manually and at the same time PC should derive from cost center master data ( as it is 1:1 only).
2) as specified above, we have IOA, CCA, PCA active. In this case IO, CC, PC are to be set as mandatory fields for Field Status Groups G004 and G029?
Please advise...
Regards,
Srinu

Is it possible to assign a cost center from SD billing to FI doc in SAP?

Hi All,
Our users hope to create a billing and change a revenue account to a expense account. (because this billing is not revenue and user hope it is cost reduction)
But the expense account has created a cost element and set the cost element category as 01 (Primary costs/cost-reducing revenues). User can create billing, but can not post FI document. The error meesage is "Account XXXXX requires an assignment to a CO object"
How can I change the account do not need cost center?
Or may I assign a cost center at SO/Billing?
Best regards,
Eric

Hi
See Note 301077 - User exits for the interface to accounting and try with the proper enhancement (perhaps EXIT_SAPLV60B_004). Try to populate the field ACCIT-KOSTL, because I think that with customizing tcode OKB9 you could not do it.
I hope this helps you

Profit center accounting and cost center relationship

Experts, in the future as we look to tie the PCA cube with the CO cube, the referential integrity will be important. What I see as being important is capturing the profit center, cost center and account that was used at the transactional level and not from an arbitrary hierarchy. As such, in the PCA cube, it would be optimal to have the cost center assigned to the transaction be available. This assumes that the PCA totals are by profit center, cost center and account. Furthermore, I will want to build a jump target from the PCA cube to the CO cube where we can see this data by cost center and cost element or vice versa. There seems to be some uncertainty on if the PCA cube has the cost center informaiton, so how would I do this?

I don know if i understood it correctly but If you assign you profit center in your cost center you should be able to get all that you need.

Profit center hierarchy and cost center hierarchy

Hi
What are the things we have to consider to create Profit center hierarchy and cost center hierarchy and what is the need to assign profit center hierarchy to profit center and cost center hierarchy to cost center. What levels does this fall into? Can some one please guide me.
Thanks.

As you would for any other infoobject
Activate the business content hierarchy datasources on R3 for cost centre and profit centre
Go into BW - replicate the metadata
Then just connect via transformations or transfer rules the datasources to yoru infosources or master data objects
Create an infopackage per hierarchy!!!!! - press the button available hirachies from OLTP - click the one you want on the left - fire it off
Then repeat new infopackages for all hierachies

Sales order line item assign to cost center

Hi Experts,
I would like to know how can I assign a cost centre to a line item in a sales order? Currently we are assigning our line items to a profit centre.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Best regards,
Catherine

Dear Catherine,
One way, to assign a cost center to a sales order, is based on Sales Org, Dist Channel, Division and Order Reason code.
T. Code: OVF3, or
Path: SPRO --> IMG --> Sales and Distribution --> Basic Functions --> Account Assignment --> Assign Cost Center
For More, refer -
[Assign a Cost Center manually in a Sales Order|http://www.sap-img.com/sd007.htm]
Best Regards,
Amit.
Note: You must consult with FI-Counterpart, and check with:
T. Code: OKB9
Using this Transaction, you can determine a cost center, from profit center, maintained in to Material Master.

Assignment of Cost center to G/L account

Hi,
While Posting, I am getting the following error " G/L account requires an assignment to a CO object"
Where Do I assign the cost center to the G/L and why doesn't the system automatically pick the cost
center?
Regards,
Ally

First, if G/L account was created in FI, you can only create primary cost element in CO.
Secondary cost element can only be created if no account exists in FI.
Second, if you created the primary or secondary cost element in CO, you have to assign CO account assignment.
You can delete cost element in CO (KO04) if dependent objects found.
Third, when you create cost element in CO, documents would be also created in u2018Cost center accountingu2019 and u2018Profit center accountingu2019 when posing in FI. If no cost element exists in CO, no related documents would be created in CCA and PCA.

Do not assign to cost center (not active in CO area ASHI and FYear 2007 )
Message no. KI230
Diagnosis
You assigned an account to a cost center. However, no cost centers are active for controlling area ASHI in fiscal year 2007.
System Response
This posting is not allowed.
Procedure
Activate Cost Center Accounting for fiscal year 2007 using CO configuration.

hi
using KEOA1 wont work in this situation as it looks like the cost center accounting is not active in your controling area.
so go to OKKP and activate the cost centre accounting for your controling area and then try again
i am sure this will work

Profit Center Mandatory in Cost Center Master

Hi Expert!
I would like to know the configuration path to make the option Profit Center Mandatory in cost center master data.
Thanks
J

If you have activated profit center accounting and if you leave profit center blank in the cost center master, system issues a warning message at the time of saving. You can convert this message to error to make profit center mandatory.
The message number is KS096. It can be configured in transaction code OBA5. Choose application area KS. Insert message 096 and select the desired message type (E for error or W for warning).
