Classical profit center Accounting in new GL

Dear Experts,
I am not aware about profit center configuration.We are planning to implement ECC-6.
Today i faced problem in dummy client during configuration,
What i did it- i have activated profit center at controlling area
2) then did setting in OKES- created dummy profit center,define profit center standard hierachy,profit center currency = controlling area currency and activated profit center accounting
3)Set Control Parameters for Actual Data- selected online transfer and line items
But i am not sure-I need to do all the setting in ECC-6 like creation of dummy profit center and activation of online transfer +line item tansfer.
Request you to guide me on configuration- Whether setting Of PCA will change in NEW GL or Not required in New GL.
regards
RR

HI ajay,
Thanks for your valuable advice,
When i m planning to do config in golden client.
1)i will not select profit center in controlling area
2)i will not create dummy profit center and not required online transfer and line item tick
3)Shall i need to define standard hierarchy and Profit center currency type for profit center under 0KES ?
need to do anything in 0kes (Maintain Controlling Area Settings for PCA)
request you to clear this also
regards

Migration from Classic Profit Center Accounting to New GL PCA

Hi,
We are currently using SAP ECC 6 with Classical PCA. We now want to migrate to new GL for document split purpose. We have managed to get the FI implications of this conversion. I need to know the implications on Controlling post this migration.

Using Business Area and Profit Center Accounting with New GL functionality

Hello,
We are Public Sector and using ECC 6.0, we have been using Business Area with Fund Management. We also use Special Purpose Ledger with Document splitting. Before migrating to New GL functionality, we want to understand
-     The possibility of using both Business Area and Profit Center Accounting, and the impact on the system
-     If we activate Profit Center Accounting before migration, how will it work with the splitting process?
-     If we migrate without Profit Center Accounting, will this cause the activation of Profit center accounting later to be more complicated, even if we migrate again?
Thanking you

Hi Sachin,
Thank you for the reply, we want to know that
-     The possibility of using both Business Area and Profit Center Accounting, and the impact on the system
If we decide using Profit Center Accounting with Business Area with New GL functionality how we should do it
-     should we activate classical Profit Center Accounting before migrating to New GL functionality, if we do this how will it work with the splitting process?
-     If we migrate to New GL functionality without Profit Center Accounting, will this cause the activation of Profit center accounting later to be more complicated, even if we migrate again?
Thanking you

Profit Center Accounting with New GL

Hi All!
Client wants to draw the balance sheet plant wise.I would like to know how to configure the profit center accounting with New GL . Are business areas mandatory in this case ?

Senthil

Hi Senthil,
Please refer the link: http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/EN/2d/830e405c538f5ce10000000a155106/frameset.htm
It give the idea bout NGL and how the Profit center accounting works in finance itself and the required settings to make zero balance using the docuement splitting functionality.
Business area is not mandatory, it's used as parallel as profit center.
Thanks...Vyas

Profit Center Accounting Reports - New GL

I've done the configuration and setup for the Profit Center accounting reports (new GL) in ecc 6 and I'm having an outstanding issue.
If I attempt to run the reports via their transaction code, ie S_E38_98000088 I have no problems. Access/authorization is fine and the desired result is achieved. If I navigate the SAP Easy Menu to Accounting -> Financial Accounting -> General Ledger -> Information System -> General Ledger Reports (New) I don't see the "Reports for Profit Center Accounting folder.
If I go to se43 and look at the S000 areamenu, the path is there. I've tried with a user account that has wide open access to everything and I still don't see it. Is there any configuration that needs to be done to get this menu path to display to the end user?
Any help/suggestions are greatly welcomed.
Regards,
Elder

I think this comes with Enterprise Business Function FIN_GL_CI_1, t-code SFW5. Read the documentation in SFW5, those Reports are there.
Good luck.

Profit Center Accounting in New G/L

I am using PCA with the New G/L and when reviewing a customer/vendor record the posting is showing as the 'Dummy' profit center; however, in the related reconciliation account the posting shows the correct profit center. How do I get the customer/vendor record to match this?

Hello
PC is a derived cost object from assignments made at various areas.
If no assignment is made, maybe your system is configured to pick the Dummy PC.
Check the flow of data to AR/AP. Check the line items and check the original SO and PO. make you need to maintain settings there and also in the material.

Profit Center Accounting in New GL

Hi All,
Need your help in PCA.
Activated New GL with PCA as splitting characteristic.
Have not assigned Profit Center to Cost Center master as there is no clear linkage.
When posting an expense document, system picks up "Dummy" profit center and overrides what ever profit center is written manually. Now how to prevent this from being overwritten ? I have tried validation but that also does not help.
Regards,
Rohit

Hi Andreas,
This is exactly what I want to avoid. If no "Dummy" profit center is created in the system, the system would prompt for a profit center at the time of posting the document. But without a dummy profit center, I am not ablt to use profit center allocation and post to PC directly. I keep getting the message that PC settings in controlling area are incomplete. Is there any way where I can use PC allocations and post to PC directly without using dummy profit center ?
regards,
Rohit

COPA Planning to Profit Center Accounting

Hi,
We are using ECC 6.0.
When we do COPA planning and transfer the values of COPA to Profit Center, no data has been transfered to profit center plan items.
We have not activated Planning version of Classic Profit Center Accounting. Is it required for ECC 6.0 also to activate Classic Profit Center Accoutning?
We have Mapped requisit Value fields of COPA to GL Accounts.
Can any one guide us in this regard.
Thanks in Advance
Sudhakar

Hi,
In COPA the planning has been done to the value field of PRCTR which represents Profit center. Through report forms the actual and plan data for the value fields can be derived in COPA itself. I dont think that the planned values can be transferred to profit center accouting. On the other hand the actuals of profit center with the same value fields can be derived in COPA.
Assign points if its useful

DOC Splitting in New GL and Profit center accounting activation

Dear All,
I am in a dilemma regarding the following -
We are activating doc splitting with profit center and segment as characteristics.
1) While maintaining Controlling area settings(OKKP) - do we need to activate "Profit Center Accounting" component?
2) Similarly, in IMG-Controlling - Profit Center Accounting- Basic Settings-Controlling Area Settings-Maintain Controlling Area Settings (0ke5), do we need to maintain any settings?
I am of the opinion that ,based on the SAP Note - 826357, that we need not activate PC accounting as it is built into New GL Accounting.
I am also of the opinion, again based on the note, that we can use classic PC accounting, but the note recommends and I quote
we do not recommend you do this on a long-term basis due to the increased data volume and the increased time and effort required, and in the case of active document splitting, the update response changes.
But I am not able to come to a conclusion.
In earlier implementations, I activated PC accounting in OKK5 in New GL doc split scenario. So keeping that in mind, pl guide me.
Thanks & regards,
Gov

Hi
Please set the Profit Center Accounting with Controlling Area.

Activate Profit Center Accounting with Splitter in SPL / New GL

...............PCA (activating it with splitter)
We are Public Sector and are on ECC 6.0, we have been splitting Document based on Business Area and Fund. Before migrating to New GL functionality, we are also thinking to use the feature of document splitting with characteristic profit center. To do that we are thinking of the two following scenarios, but want to understand the possibility, the benefits and impact on the system
Scenario A. Activating Profit Center Accounting with Splitter in Special Purpose Ledger on the GO-live date and populate Profit Center field in Classical G/L.
Scenario B. Activating Profit Center Accounting with Splitter In New G/L on the GO-live date and populate Profit Center field in New G/L.

Yes, I understand that (ours too). Based on your diagram, migration will be some time after 7/1/2011.
Actually, I think what SAP recommends is complete migration before opening the new FY for posting. In any case, if you want to add a new split characteristic and you are already using SPL, I think it is better to add it to SPL before NewGL migration because SAP handles migration with SPL and without SPL (from classic GL) differently. With SPL is a lot more straight forward.

Profit Center Accounting in ECPCA and New GL

Hi Friends,
We want to use the ECPCA profit center accounting for managment reporting. Also we are using new GL therefore we also have Profit Center accounting accounting.
Can we just go with ECPCA, if yes what would be the dis-advantage of not using New GL profit center accounting.
Also can we use the both, if yes then do we need to take care of something specfic which you would like to suggest.
Thanks in Advance

Hi,
Thanks for the SNote. But now I am in a fix.
Note says that if I use the new GL and document splitting then I should not use the EC-PCA.
But my client do not want the cost center allocations to come in FI due to Regulatory constraints i.e no CO-FI reconciliation, however want to see the profitability at profit center level, as well as balance sheet at profit center level.
If I use EC-PCA for giving profitability at at profit Center level then I will not be able to use document splitting in New GL to give the balance sheet at profit center level.
And if I use New GL then I cannot give the profitability at profit center level as allocations are not there in FI.
Have anybody faced a similar issue, if yes can throw a light on the same.
Thanks & Regards,
Ankur

Profit Center Accounting in ECC 6.0 New GL Accounting

Hi,
I want to make my understanding clear.
If we are in ECC 6.0 and New GL accounting is active and also the One of the Document Spliiting characteristics is Profit Center, it means that all the document must have the Profit center to it.
In this way we can get the Profit center wise Balance sheet.
I hope my understing is clear till now. Please correct me if I am wrong.
Now with this, my next question is , do we really need to Configure the Profit Center Accounting node Under controlling?
If yes, why to do this? Because if we require Distribution or assessment cycle for the Profit center, it can be done through General Ledger Accounting node (New) period end closing process.
Please correct me if I am wrong.
regards

Hi Kerstin
Assume you are on ECC 6.0 and you dont create Dummy PC...
If doc splitting is active, you get an error that "PC in Line item XXXX not filled"... System does not look for Dummy PC in that case...
Same behaviour should have been replicated in CRM as well.. Dont you think so?? If I have not activated EC-PCA, I am not supposed to get any error related to Dummy PC... Thats the basic premise of SAP, as far as I know...
When Dummy PC is a feature of EC-PCA, system should look for it only when EC-PCA is active... Though you can say Dummy PC can be created from New GL Menu,, but the basic premise which stil remains is the behaviour is not the same in CRM & Other ECC components like FI, when the PC is not found.... One behaviour is as per EC PCA active and the other is as per New GL PCA active
Anyways, thanks for sharing your knowledge on this,
br, Ajay M

New GL - Profit Center Accounting.

Hello,
My Client have implementaed New GL and Profit Center Accounting Scenario is activated. Document Splitting also activated and PC is made a zero balance and mendatory field.
My query is: how the distribution for the reconciliation account will work; for example, a vendor invoice is posted so the vendor line item will get the PC from the other line item. Here the PC is general Plant level PC now I want to distribute this posting to the vendor account to the other PC. How this can be done?
the same query for Asset and material reconcilition posting.
Please let me knwo if more information is required.
Regards,

Hello,
Thanks for the reply.
in my company Plant and Profit center is mapped on one to one basis. now we are reengineering the profit center hierarchy as Plant and product group combination.
now come to the example the material purchase entry. Here the material is updated with the common profit center at plant level which we need to distrubute to the other profit center (which is created as product group and plant combination) in period end closing activities with the decided allocation %. This we are doing for generating Balance Sheet at Profit Center Level (which is now a combination Plant and Product Group)
Now I am not able to run Distribution with FAGLGA3*. Please guide how to run distribution for Reconciliation account like Vendor, Asset and Material.?
Please let me know if more information is requried.

Thanks in Advance
Naren

Hi ,
Why are you using 9KE0 transaction when you are working with New GL ? It is a transaction pertaining to Classic PCA and you are no longer supposed to use that transaction. If you want to carry out any rectification entry then you may use transaction F-02 to do that.
