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,

Consolidations Question for Entities and Profit Centers
I'm currently at a client who has a requirement for Legal Entity and Profit Centers within the same application. They also want to see Consolidated results through LE and PC viewpoints. Essentially a "MATRIX" Consolidation.
Unfortunately they have many PC's and many LE's and they cross each other. Thus if we combined the dimensions it would be quite unwieldy (not to mention not sure how to handle the ownership between a LE/PC combo).
I've been told the only other way to handle this maybe through two separate applications, but that is something the client is against. Apparently the MATRIX consolidation is possible in BCS but quite tricky in BPC?
Thanks,
PrasHi Pras,
In BPC there is no 'standard' solution for matrix consolidation. There are two workarounds which you already mentioned:
- combining the two dimensions into one, assuming there are not to many combinations ...
- performing the consolidation twice in two seperate applications ...
If you want to achieve a matrix consolidation within one application and multiple intco dimensions, you wll have to write your own script logic, which probably can be done, but will consume a lot of efforts ... If this really is the requirement one perhaps should look for Cartheis or SEM BCS?

Assignment of cost centers and profit centers
Hi Friends,
can anybody give me a series of steps of assignment of cost centers and profit centers, like I know there is a T.code 3KEH, but I really dont know the chronological (step by step) order of steps to be followed to assign the cost centers to profit centers, as profit centers cannot be directly posted to and as the postings.
And above all when I see the info about 3KEH, it says we need to assign only balance sheet items there and not cost items.
Basically I've not studied Profit center accounting Properly and so I'm facing this problme
If there is any documentation on this can anyone pass this on to: kiransandhyaATyahooDOTcom
regards
sandhyaHi Sridhar,
Thnx for replying. I've gone ahead and defined cost and profit centers and did what you have told me to. Now this is where I'm stranded. How do I map profit and cost centers so that the we get the right kind of reports.
Basically, my question would be: say for eg: if we are defining Company, Co.Code, before completing with Global paramters, there are a series of steps that we need to complete, right.
Like wise, I just wanted to have a series of mandatory steps that I need to follow where the cost centers and profit centers mapping is done, atleast if I have the steps with me then I can go ahead and check the logic as to why should I define a particular step.
Like I mentioned I happened to see some information about 3KEI, so before going to 3KEI or 3KEH, are there any other steps that I need to follow.
I need to get the cost center and profit center reports, so that is what I'm looking for, and what do i need to configure, before getting to that point?
I dont have a great insight into PCA, and I was not a part of the controlling configuration, but because a person has left in between the project, I'm supposed to do this and that is the reason why I dont have much time in doing R&D, and thats the whole reason why I'm seeking inputs which would actually minimise my time of R&D, once I'm able to convince my people, then again I can sit back and try to improvise my self.

Cost Centers and Profit centers default
Hi,
Apart from OKB9 settings where else we can design for default cost and profit centers.
thanks
RPHi,
For cost centres you can set the default directly in cost element master data (KA02). Regarding profit centre, you can use 3KEH transaction.

Foreign currency revaluation and Profit Centers
Hi all,
We want to use F.05 to post exchange rate differences but are working with a system that uses also Business areas and a multitude of Profit Centres (in one company code).
We have One company code
> n business area for this one company code, and
> n profit centre per business area
SAPs standard solution for this issue is use transaction 3keh/ 3kei and send it to a specific profit centre (one per company code).
This does not help us. We would need to have the differences to be distributed at least on Business area level or at least on profit centre level.
Who can help? Any suggestion mostly welcomed! What would need to do to achieve this?
Thanks!
HeinHi
If you want to assign the differences to Business areas also other than profit centers.
You can force the assignment of the GL account to Business area, profit center, cost center with transaction OKB9. Or try out validations and substitutions.
Try it out it might be helpful.

SAP Security - Cost Centers and Profit Centers
Hi All,
We want to have the ability to restrict roles on cost center and profit center per the cost center/profit center owner. For example, we only want to allow users whom own cost centers to be able to see the cost centers they own. The problem that I am faced with is that I do not want to restrict via cost center authorization object because this would essentially lead to every user having their own individual role.
I did notice that each cost center has a user ID field that you can assign and maintain. I was thinking if it was possible to create some customization where this is checked against the uid logged onto the system but not sure if this could be done without modifying each program. Does anyone have any thoughts on how to restrict via cost center and profit center?
Thanks in adavnceHi,
did you check if a view could help in your context?
What I mean is this: create a view on top of your basetable where some predicates like
user = basetable.userid-column
is used.
This view has to be granted to all users and the basetable should NOT be granted at all.
If you do not want to change all applications, you could rename the basetable and create this new view with the old basetable-name to allow the unchanged applications to work.

Difference between SKFs for Cost Centers and Profit Centers
Dear All,
Three cost centers A,B and C have two profit centers say X and Y assigned. When we run SKFs report for Cost Centers - S_ALR_87013645 total for all the Cost centers is say 30 (81210). When I run the report S_ALR_87013342 for Profit Centers SKF break down total is 30. However break up is not matching. Cost Center A and B have Profit Center X and C has Profit Center Y. Ideally in PCs break down for SKFs must be X = 20 and Y=10. However this is not the case. Total is tallying but the break up is not tallying. Y has total of say 25.
Cost Center C has profit center assignment changed in the middle of the year. Is the difference because of changing the PC assignment to CC in the middle of the year/in between? Do we need to adjust the SKF numbers for incorrect PCs in 9KE5?
Is there any other way to correct the difference instead of posting in 9KE5? Please help.
Thanks in advance,

DTW. Is there template for migrating Dimensions and profit centers
Dear Experts,
Does SBO have a template for migration of dimension and profit center details.
Regards,
Blaise.Hi vsrp,
Under the following folder, you will find a template for Item Master:
"\Program Files\SAP\Data Transfer Workbench\Templates\Data preparation examples\10. Testcase1_Test Data for Import function\oItems"
In regards of Opening Balances, they are not already exposed in DTW. SAP Copy Express Add-on is used to copy such kind of data to other databases, is this your case? If you are setting up your model DB, then you will have to create some program and use the sevices exposed in the DI API.

Profit centers and cost centers - language maintenance
Hi!
We have an SAP environment running where three countries use local languages and the fourth one uses English, also most people working centrally with the system uses English. Also the hierarchies are exported to BI from the English language version of the system. Thus we have a need to maintain names of hieararchy nodes and profit centers/cost centers in several languages.
Is there any easier way to do this than logging in to all relevant language versions (usually one local and English) to maintain these? Is there some setting that makes it enough to maintain in for instance the English version and it updates all the other languages?
Best regards,
Jan PetterssonNot really the answer I was hoping for
it's business side users in each country maintianing the hieararchies and PC/CC... so LSMWs and imports and exports is unfortuntantely not the best of options.
Hoping for someone else with a similar situation with additonal ideas. -
Difference between Internal order & Profit centers
Hello guru's
Can you please explain in detail the diffenece between Internal orders and profit centers. As i know that, profit centers are used to find out the profit of the particular cost object or task in controlling. can we use the internal order costing for the same purpose or only for the cost accumulation?
Thanks in advance!!
Rgds,
Yatheendra NathHi Yatheendra,
Profit Centre refers to the area of responsibility with in an organisation(in lay man's language you may consider it as company with in a company).Profit centre hierarchy reflects the internal structure of areas of responsibility within your company.
The main purpose of profit centre is to provide reports to management as per these responsibilty centres.It serves to calculate internal (plan and actual) results according to the period accounting approach. If the function area is specified for the data in the controlling components, you can also analyze results using the cost‑of‑sales approach.You can access the original postings from FI, CO, SD, MM, and so on directly to identify potential weaknesses.
Internal orders-An internal order is used to monitor parts of the costs, and under certain circumstances, the revenues of the organization.You can create an internal order to monitor the costs of a time-restricted job or the costs (and revenues, if required) for the production of activities. Internal orders can also be used for the long-term monitoring of costs.The SAP system enables you to monitor your internal orders throughout their entire life-cycle; from initial creation, through the planning and posting of all the actual costs, to the final settlement.
<u>Please award points if I had been of some help to you.

Hi All
Could you please tell at what level ( level 5 or level 9 ) are the profit centers
maintained in SAP. For example how to find the level of FRBs in the table
BSIS.
Also if anybody can explain me the concept of cost centers, profit centers
and cost center groups.
Regards
AnkitHi Ankit,
i am giving the defination of cost centre, profit centre
Cost centres are divisions that add to the cost of the organisation, but only indirectly add to the profit of the company. Examples include Research and Development, Marketing and Customer service. A cost centre is often identified with a speed type number.
Because the cost centre has a negative impact on profit (at least on the surface) it is a likely target for rollbacks and layoffs when budgets are cut. Operational decisions in a contact centre, for example, are typically driven by cost considerations. Financial investments in new equipment, technology and staff are often difficult to justify to management because indirect profitability is hard to translate to bottom-line figures.
Business metrics are sometimes employed to quantify the benefits of a cost centre and relate costs and benefits to those of the organisation as a whole. In a contact centre, for example, metrics such as average handle time, service level and cost per call are used in conjunction with other calculations to justify current or improved funding.
Profit Center Accounting provides visibility of an organizations profit and losses by profit center. The methods which can be utilized for EC-PCA (Profit Center Accounting) are period accounting or by the cost-of-sales approach. Profit Centers can be set-up to identify product lines, divisions, geographical regions, offices, production sites or by functions. Profit Centers are used for Internal Control purposes enabling management the ability to review areas of responsibility within their organization. The difference between a Cost Center and a Profit Center is that the Cost Center represents individual costs incurred during a given period and Profit Centers contain the balances of costs and revenues.
