Company code and Profit center is not mandatory

Hi,
My requirement is that i wish to make the company code and profit center is not mandatory., ie greyed out. This i want while creating the project. I have assigned the controlling area in the project profile. but when i save the project i am getting the error as " Enter the company code". I made changes in field selction for project definition screen group - both company code and profit center are in display mode. This i did it with regard to Project profile. In project builder screen it is greyed out. but asking for company code.
Is it possible to make it for both? When i tried with Profit center alone, i am not getting any error. Whether company code is mandatory while creating project or anyway can we avoid company code?
Please throw your views
Thanks

Authorization object for company code and profit center together

Hi all,
Please help me with the following requirement..
Company Code = ABCD
Profit Center = *
The user is authorized to run the report for company code ABCD only but any profit center within this company code.
2 Company Code = *
Profit Center = WXYZ
The user is authorized to run the report for Profit Center WXYZ only but any company code.
3 Company Code = *
Profit Center = *
The user is authorized to run the report for any company code and profit center.
The same user could have 1 and 2. So, in this case he should be able to run a report for the total inventory of company code ABCD, and a report for total inventory of profit center WXYZ only regardless company code.
He should not have visibility to other company codes inventory other then profit center WXYZ.

HR - SRM Replication: Issue with company code and cost center

Hello Experts,
We have a scenario where we are trying to replicate the HR Org Structure into the SRM system.
All the standard settings have been made using relevant SAP Notes and other help available on SRM.
However, the company code and cost center for a particular position are not getting updated into SRM.
These details are present in the Inbound Idoc from the ECC system.
Is there any setting we may have missed out on?
Please help.

Hi
Kindly check your ALE Filter in BD64 in the sending system. You need to maintain the objects C K O S and infotype 1001 and related subtypes in the filter model.
Also check the Evaluation path that you are using to send data.

Sourcing: Shows wrong company code and cost center

Hello
We have implemented SRM4.0 SP8. When we display shopping carts in sourcing cockpit before aggregate to create a PO, we check that SC from different companies doesnt show the correct company code and cost center. We have a central purchase group that aggregates SC from different enterprises. For two SC, the second displays a wrong company code and cost center.
Example:
First SC:
SC -> A123
Company -> SNLL
Cost center > AAA
Second SC:
SC -> A124
Company -> SNPP
Const center -> BBB
When displaying the second SC it shows company code SNLL and Cost center AAA each is incorrect. In DB data is correct for each SC, company code (table BBP_PDBEI) and cost center per item (BBP_PDACC). Even if we aggregate both SC to create one PO, this document has correct data per item (different company code, requester, cost center) the only issue is related with the information showed in ITS/HTML in sourcing cockpit before aggregation.
Do you have any idea how can we resolve this?
Thanks in advance

Company code vs profit center in FI

Hi all,
I have a question in restructuring our financial organization in sap. We are one company with one operating concern, one controlling area, one company code and one chart of account. We also have several locations in America. Lately, we have acquired another company with several other locations in America.
There are 2 ways of including the new company when we restructure in sap financial side.
A) Use company code to represent each company.
Thus, under our holding company, we would have our company, new company location A, new company location B, new company location C and one company for real estate purpose for our building. This means 5 new company codes with multiple chart of accounts.
B) Use profit centers to represent each company
Thus, we would have 5 new profit centers.
Both ways work very well for income statement. Option B is a little iffy on Balance Sheet.
Question is: How easy is it to maintain separate Balance Sheet between option A and B ?
What are the pro and cons of both options ?
Have anyone come across this ?
thanks
Joyce

Hi ,
It is always recommended to go with , 1 co code per seperate legal entity as explained by ajay .
Moreover you can have balance sheet and profit and loss a/c at profit center level with New GL .
Also check on the operational issues like for Eg. depritiation run can be executed at co code level only and not at profit center level just for example . then a question should not come why have we not considered this at the time of org structure finalization .
Secondly , also check on the authorization issues in case of Assets account to be particular as the authorizations work at co code level and at asset class level . so if a requirement comes that profit center wise viewing should happen then you will have to move on to have modifications .
I would suggest that along with your considerations on legal reporting and keeping in mind the operation issues that may crop up take a final call on the same .

WBS, Business Area and Profit Center not flowing in GR/IR Account

Hello Experts,
I have come across a very strange situation. I have two MIGO documents which are showing different posting characteristics:
1) FI Document 5000000553
In this document, the Business area and profit center is flowing in GR/IR Clearing Account (15660000) but WBS element is not flowing to this line item.
Screen shot is as follows:-
As you can see from the above screen shot that, for GR/IR Account 15660000. Only Business Area and Profit Center are flowing and WBS Element is not coming.
2. FI Document 5000015602
In this document, the WBS element is going in GR/IR Clearing Account (15660000) but Business area and profit center is not flowing to this line item
Screen Shot is as follows:-
From the above screen shot, Business Area and Profit Center are not flowing but WBS Element is coming.
Could you please let me know what could be the possible reason for this behavior of both the documents.?
Regards,
Amit

Hi Saurabh,
Its great to see your reply. Yes, I know that currencies and posting dates are different. But that's the way it is. One document is for fiscal year 2014 and other is for 2013. There is nothing related to currency and posting date which was causing the strange behavior of the system.
However, our team analyzed the issue and found that only for service material having a special valuation type related to services is causing the problem and still we are diagnosing the other possible root cause as well.
Thanks for your co-operation and suggestion.

Why profit center is created at controlling area leve and cost center is not

Hi All,
I want to know why we create profit center at controlling area level i.e., a profit center can be used by multiple company codes under that controlling area. While cost center is at company code level as in one cost center can only be used in one company code.
Please explain the logic behind this design in SAP and in real business scenarios.
Regards,
Satan

Hi,
Cost centres (and other CO objects, e.g. internal order, WBS, etc.) are part of Cost Accounting component of SAP Controlling domain (CO). Profit centres are part of Enterprise Controlling (EC) domain, namely of EC-PCA. So, these two objects are not even belonging to the same domain and have, therefore, different perspective of business functionality. SAP has created reporting objects on different level of control: business areas on client level, cost centres - on company code level, profit centres - on controlling area level, etc. All this is a part of system design in functional prism of system's evolution.
Of course, technically speaking, one could have created profit centres on company code level or vice versa, cost centres on controlling area level, but it would have provoked similar questions.

Profit center is not appearing in FBL5N t code

Hi Friends,
My business(ECC 6) is posting customer JV in f-02 .he is givivng profit center and costcenter while posting document . After that run FBL5N t code in that list for particular coustomer code profit center is not appearing ....
why it is not appeering in fbl5n.
thanks

Jagadeesh,
You cannot view profit centre in FBL5N for normal open items, as you cannot assign profit centre to a Customer line item i.e. with posting key 01 customer debit.
How ever you are saying that you can view for some special GL transactions. If you can see profit Centre for both the line items you can view in report.
I hope you can assign profit centre to customer line item while posting document.
OB41 - Change field status for posting key 01.
In general you will not assign profit centre to Customer line item. Profit Centre will be assigned to your revenue account.
How ever you can assign profit Centre to customer line items through BAPIs.

Determine company code and location (plant) w.r.t., cost center

Hi,
How could i determine company code and location based on given cost center. Could anybody please let me know if any table or function module is available to get this.
Thank you

Hi,
As mentioned above im using META_READ_TABLE FM to get company codes from CSKS table of ECC. Below is the code im using:
   DATA:i_opt type STANDARD TABLE OF RFC_DB_OPT, i_fld type STANDARD TABLE OF RFC_DB_FLD,
       i_res type STANDARD TABLE OF TAB512.
Constants:   c_expr(72) TYPE c VALUE 'KOSTL EQ COST_CTR', c_fld(5) TYPE c VALUE 'BUKRS'.
w_opt-text = c_expr.
w_fld-FIELDNAME = c_fld.
append: w_opt to i_opt,
        w_fld to i_fld.
data i_control type STANDARD TABLE OF BBP_CONTROL_RECORD.
**&&--Get Co code from ECC (CSKS table)
CALL FUNCTION 'META_READ_TABLE'
EXPORTING
    QUERY_TABLE          = c_table
*   DELIMITER            = ' '
*   NO_DATA              = ' '
*   ROWSKIPS             = '0'
*   ROWCOUNT             = '0'
    LOGICAL_SYSTEM       = v1_logsys
TABLES
    OPTIONS              = i_opt
    FIELDS               = i_fld
    DATA                 = i_res
    CONTROL_RECORD       = i_control.
however it is giving me 'Communication Error' while executing this piece of code. I guess the problem here is with table i_opt which is holding logical expression. while calling this fm system is not recognizing logical expression 'KOSTL EQ COST_CTR'. Could anybody has any suggestion for this. please advise.

PO creation-ME21n-Why SAP does not check company code and Plant relation

Hi All,
Does someone know, why SAP does not check Plant and company code relation at the time of PO creation or how can we put validation between plant and company code at the time of PO creation.
<b>Example:</b> Suppose i have a company 0001 which is assinged to Plant 0001. when i am creating a PO with another company code 0002(Entering at header level-Org, data) and using Plant 0001 at line item level. SAP does not do this validation.
How can we put this check in place?
Thanks in advance.
Deepak

Hello Deepak,
There are three types of purchasing
- Company code specific :You need to assign company code to Pur organization
- Plant specific : You must assign plant to pur organization
- Cross company purchasing: No assignment between company code and pur organization.
In the case 3, the system will not check company code and plant relationship, but it will check plant and pur organization specific.
The following is the copy of sap help text:
You can assign a purchasing organization to one company code. This is company-specific purchasing.
You can assign a purchasing organization to no company code. This purchasing organization can then procure for all plants assigned to it, irrespective of the company code to which the plant belongs.
Since each plant must be assigned to a company code, the company code can be determined via the plant in each procurement transaction, even if the procuring purchasing organization is not assigned to a company code.
A purchasing organization must be assigned to one or more plants. This is plant-specific purchasing.
Now, check your company-code and purchase organization assignment.
Hope this helps.

Arif Mansuri

Company code and Account code does not exist in SKB1 while entering GL Tran

I have created chart of accounts in the co code but getting error msg while posting entry in <Company Code>and<GL Account> transaction that entry does not exist in table SKB1. I have copied COA from existing SAP COA.

6.     Entry Company code no does not exist in SKB! (G/L account company master)
7.     Company coode ZR02 is not attached to field status variant

Hello,
There is no such automatic copy function from Chart of Account Segment to Company Code Segment.
You need to write LSMW by recording and upload the GL accounts into company code segment.
Use the following guide for your guidance.

How to make field 'profit center' as non-mandatory in Transaction F-28?

Transaction F-28 shows Profit Center field as mandatory. How to make it optional; i have already checked it in field status groups-its suppressed over there?
Field status groups are suppressed. I have also checked posting keys and posting keys assigned to the relevant Bank G/L Account.
Document splitting is inactive on my company code.
Payments can be processed through transaction code: F-26 (Incoming Payment: fast entry) without Profit Center requirement.
But at F-28 (Incoming payment), profit center is mandatory.
Any Help in this regard will be appreciated.
Thanks.
Arslan Qureshi.

Thank You Karan
I have Un-checked profit center accounting at transaction OKKP, but no effect.
why can i post incoming payment through F-26 but not F-28.
Also Document type is DZ in both Transactions. its only in F-28 that it askes for Profit Center
Thanks

Link between G/L Account and profit center

Hello dear all,
I have an issue in Intra-company process.
I made 2 customer payment for 2 different company code:
1/ Company 1000: i have 2 line items posted (in G/L View)
2/ Company 2000: For the same Cash account and the same customer account used in my first case (with company 1000) i have 4 line item posted in the G/L view and with different " PARTNER PROFIT CENTER"
I do not know wher can i find in customizing the link between G/L Account and Profit center ?
Thank you in advance

The document splitting is active in your company, at the same time, the "zero balance" for profit center is activated in your doc split characteristics. In order to balance the profit center in General View, it creates another line item for balancing it which is the zero balancing account or split the cash account according to profit center assignment. For some cases, they are split equally that is why it is best that you assign the profit center in the cash account upfront and create line item for each payment with different profit center assignment.
For instance, there are two customer line items with different profit center assignment
Customer Line Item 1 = Assigned to Profit Center 2000 amount 500
Customer Line Item 2 = Assigned to Profit Center 3000 amount 500
When I post a payment of 1000, the Entry View is
Cash                 1000
    Customer                1000
GL View
Cash       PC 2000       500
     Customer PC 2000         500
Cash      PC 3000        500
     Customer PC 3000          500
