CO history update with Profit centers

Hi Experts,
I am having a problem. I want to update the CO documents originating in CO by Production order confirmation, which uses secondary cost elements.
The direct way is to update the Production orders with the PCA and run 1KEA. However, I was wondering if there is a user exit which could be called during 1KEA.
Could someone throw some light. Thanks.
Vishal Thakur

There is no way. You have to update the Production orders with the PCA's and then run 1KEA.

Switch off the automatic update of profit centers on the Balance Sheet acco

Dear all,
In CO I am using only CCA and PCA. But I don't want to have the profit center updated on the balance sheet items.
For example I have it activated for all the automatical BS postings from MM
I need it only for the PL accounts.
How can I switch off the automatic updates of profit centers on the Balance Sheet Account?
Is it enough to deactivate the PCA on the Controlling Area?
Thanks in advance.

KE28 - problem with Profit Centers

Hi Gurus,
I have segments with several profit centers.
On one profit center I have costs. On the remaining I have revenues.
I want to distribute costs from the first profit center to the others by revenues they have.
Is it possible?

Hi G
In your case, Dist Lvl will be PC.
In selection criteria, if you enter the Source PC and choose Sales revenue as Tracing factor, will that not work??
Usually, Top Down works when you wanna allocate from a higher level to lower level. In your case, the level is same I.e. Sender and Receiver both are PCs
If the above suggestion does not work, then you need to identify one more characteristic along with source or target PCs. Say, Dist channel. In this case, choose PC as Dist Lvl and Dist channel in the selection criteria

Customer & Vendor postings with Profit Centers

hello all,
I am facing a peculiar problem out here. The clients requirement is they want to post all the customer & vendor transactions with the Profit centers. I had collected all the relevant Posting keys for the transaction postings for the customers & Vendors. I had changed the profit center from "optional entry" to "Required Entry" in Filed Status maintain. But still I am unable to get the profit centers at the time of Posting of Transaction.
Please Suggest.

Profit centers in multiple CoCd's.

Hello Gurus,
I would greatly appreciate your thoughts on the following. Points available.
I am confused with Profit centers in PCA. My client has 2 CoCd's (US and UK). They sell a type of electronic device. They also sell accessories and subscriptions that go with the eletronic device. They want profit centers set up by product line in SAP. I therefore have created 3 profits centers in the Sandbox: 1) Device Profit center 2)Accessories Profit center and 3) Subscription Profit center.
So whenever they sell any of the 3 types of products, the amount hits the appropriate profit center, because we have attached the Profit center to the Material in MM02.
My question is this: Do I need to create the profit centers just once? Or do I need to create the same 3 profit centers for each CoCd? For example, for the US CoCd, I create 3 profit centers. Do I then need to create another 3 profit centers for the UK CoCd as well, or is the first time I create the profit centers sufficient for both company codes?
Hope the question makes sense.
Thanks in advance!

Cost center is company code specific and u can create ur own cost centers in each company code which may be different from US company code. So when u are running a cost center report u can see under the company code/ controlling area where as for the profit center it will show the details for the entire profit center that for both the company codes

Unassigned Profit centers in G/L

Hi experts,
I see there are few records with unassigned profit centers in 0FIGL_O02 ODS. In general all transactions in R/3 get posted to G/L with Profit centers. Any of you had the similar issue before? Please suggest.
Thanks.

Profit centers analyse per Company Code

Dear all,
If I set up profit center accounting with profit centers cross-company codes. How would it be best to analyse the profit centers per company code without increasing the number of profit centers?
Can this be done with statistical postings without line items? All suggestions are welcome.
Best regards,
Michaë

Hi
As you yourself said, profit centers are and can be created cross company codes
In all the PC reports, you will have comp code as the selection field.. So, that should help you in viewing PC balances company code wise

Consolidating Company and Profit Centers

Our business requirement is to consolidate bottom up whereby first eliminating interunit among profit centers below a company and then proceed to eliminate interunit among companies as well as COI among companies.
EG scenario:
Company A with Profit Centers A1, A2, A3
Company B with Profit Centers B1, B2, B3
Transactions among A1 and A2 and A3 should be eliminated when consol task is run at Company A level. Same goes for B1, B2 and B3 should be eliminated when consol task is run at Company B level.
Then continue with the scenario:
Company A buys Company B at 70%
At our current Matrix Organization settings, it required us to select WHICH profit center of Company A buys which profit center of Company B. But our case, when we want to COI among Company A and Company B, all profit centers should be in (and already eliminated) thus not necessary to specify which profit centers but just need to specify which Company buys which Company.
Is our current Matrix set up is not right for our business requirement of this scenario? Would appreciate if anyone can advise on a better approach.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Kooi Heng,
First consolidation happens according to the hierachy either PC pr company code.
In your case you have to define two hierarchies one for PC and one for Com Code.
Sobased o these hierarchies system will do elimination.
Also remember, when you are doing CC hier. cons, system will read only CC data, same for PC also, so dont get confused in creating hierarchies with CC and PC, both are different Charecteristrics all together.
All the best,
Sunil M

New GL Profit Centers not updated with Reposting of costs in CO

Hi,
There is one concern, which I am not able to address.
In case one reposts primary costs to different cost centers which in turn has different profit centers, the PCA report gets updated since it is posted in CO.
However, in case of New GL Profit center reports the values are displayed in the original profit center posted and not in the reposted profit center. I understand that the reposting is done only in CO, but then there would be a mismatch in the PCA reports and the New GL profit center reports.
Please suggest any solution to this.

Hi
check the path and see if Account Determination between CO & FI is active for the variant defined and assigned to your company code:
IMG>Financial Accounting>Financial Accounting Global Settings>Ledgers>Real time Integration between Controlling & FI>Define variants for Real Time Integration.

Purchase Order history is not updated with Invoice number

Hello Experts ,
Please suggest some inputs/solution for my problem.
Scenarios is :
PO --> SO --> Invoice
I am creating the invoice with the medium EDI , when I click on Save button IDOC is generated with the message " IDoc 'xxxxxxxxxxxxx' was created and forwarded for transmission " and it showing the status as 03 i.e, The IDoc was sent to an R/3 System or an external program via a transactional RFC ...but the problem is if I got to the Purchase Order history Its not updated with the Invoice number.
What could be the problem , please suggest.

Hi!
I'm not sure, in which process you link PO and SO. There are some different ways, which are totally different scenarios - if you need help here, describe more detailed.
Your invoice is probably only created with reference to SO, so check the invoice itself. In this case also the SO history should include the invoice.

Having Multiple Material Codes with Different Profit Centers in one Plant

Hi,
Can someone explain me what impact it will have, if there are different Material Codes with multiple profit centers in a single plant? For example, say Material 1 has Profit Center as PC1 and Material 2 has Profit Center as PC2 and they are in a single plant. Will this have impact on Financial Transactions?
Thanks and Regards,
Sameer Joshi

Hi Sameer
No negative impact.. It is very much possible and logical
All the purchases made - > Stocks and vendor liability will be tagged to the PC of the Material
All the sales made -> COGS, Revenue and Customer Liability will be tagged to the PC of the material, unless you overwrite using a Substitution

Profit Centers(CEPCT) selection with Wild Characters(*) condition

HI, I'm trying to select Profit centers from CEPCT table for the given profit center parameter. here I'm trying with wild characters.
for example: 1.
* check if wild character exists
    FIND c_st IN p_i_profit_ctr.
    IF sy-subrc EQ 0.

      REPLACE ALL OCCURRENCES OF c_st IN p_i_profit_ctr WITH c_pr.
* get profit center list for given pattern
      SELECT prctr "Profit Center
             ktext "General Name
          FROM cepct INTO TABLE t_profit_ctr
        WHERE spras = c_en              "english language
        AND   prctr LIKE p_i_profit_ctr.   "profit center
CEPCT table data is:
Profit Center

Could anyone please help me out how do I write a qeury to rectrive the above. (Note: we may not be sure how many zeroes to be included, I hope this is not good practive to include zeroes because in case of 200/2000 which will not work and for chars which will not be good code)
thanks in advance.

Hi,
Its better to specify a range for profit center in the selection screen and he use in your query as follows:
Example :
ranges r_profcent FOR GLPCA-RPRCTR.
Query to fetch Range:
SELECT PRCTR INTO R_PROFCENT-LOW
FROM CEPC
WHERE ( PRCTR BETWEEN '0000001111' AND '0000009999'
    OR PRCTR = 'DUMMY' )
    AND KOKRS = '1000'.
    R_PROFCENT-SIGN = 'I'.
    R_PROFCENT-OPTION = 'EQ'.
    APPEND R_PROFCENT.
Use of range in Query:
SELECT REFDOCNR RPRCTR BLDAT BUDAT
FROM GLPCA CLIENT SPECIFIED
APPENDING CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE ITAB1
WHERE RCLNT = SY-MANDT
    AND RPRCTR IN R_PROFCENT
    AND RACCT IN GLACNO
Hope it could help you out.

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

I need a report in SAP which allows multiple Profit centers selection with

Hi,
Cany anybody help me with below issue -
I need a report in SAP which allowing multiple Profit centers selection with :
- Profit Center #
- Profit center Name
- Profit center long text
- Profit Center group
- the related PC node showing the BU and the product category group.
Let me know is there any report which can provide us with all this details.
With regards.

Hi,
I recommend the PCA standard drill-down or interactive reports accessible via the follwoing menu path:
Accounting --> Enterprise Controlling --> PCA --> Infosystem --> Reports for PCA
There are several reports which allow entering profitcenter groups or profitcenters.
Long Text is not possible. Makes also no sense to report on Long Text.
Best regards,
Andreas
