Consolidation - incorporate other details like Product, Profit Center etc?

Hi,
For financial consolidation we are bringing only the trial balance data. To bring user defined dimension such as Product, Region, Profit Center, Cost Center etc, do the GL accounts need to be configured accordingly with this information?
Thanks,
Sincerely,
Nicky

HI Nicky
If you are using a standard exractor like 0FI_GL_10 for transaction data, the values for profit center / cost center would come automatically as the extractor uses table FAGLFLEXTA.
Thus for the transaction data extractor you are using , check whether these user defined fields are already present . If not enhance the extractor to populate the values for all dimensions.
Master data values for the user dimension can be loaded using relevant infoobject

I have one apple ID for multiple devices in my family. I'd like to keep it that way for itunes/app purchases. I would like a simple step 1, step 2, step 3 response on what I need to do to separate all other features like imessage, contacts, emails, etc.

I have one apple ID for multiple devices in my family. I'd like to keep it that way for itunes/app purchases. I would like a simple step 1, step 2, step 3 response on what I need to do to separate all other features like imessage, contacts, emails, etc.
I have been reasearching how to do this on the internet, but I haven't found an easy explanation yet. My family is going crazy over each others imessages being sent to others in the family and not being able to use FaceTime because of conflicting email addresses. I have read that if each person gets their own iCloud account, this would work. However, I need to know what to do after I set everyone up with their own iCloud account. Do I make that the default email address to be contacted or can they still use their hotmail email addresses. Any help- with easy explanation- would be much appreciated!!

We do this in my family now. We have one account for purchases, so it is used to share music and apps (I think that is in Settings/iTunes & App Stores). Each iDevice has this configured.
Then, each of us has our own iCloud account that is configured under Settings/iCloud. That then allows us to have our own Mail/Contacts/Calendars/Reminders/Safari Bookmarks/Notes/Passbook/Photo Stream/Documents & Data/Find My iPhone/and Backup. That Backup piece is pretty sweet and comes in handly if you replace your iDevice. You can just restore from it.
So we all share the Apple Store account but we all have our own iCloud accounts to keep the rest seperate or things like you mentioned are a nightmare.
In answer to what iCloud does for you: http://www.apple.com/icloud/features/
Think of it as an internet based ("cloud") area for all of those items listed in my response. What you need to remember is photo stream only maintans the last 1000 pictures so don't count it as a complete backup solution for your pictures. Even though I rarely sync with a computer these days, I do still try to sync my phone with iPhoto (I have an iMac) so that I have copies of all of my pictures. 1000 may not stretch as far as it sounds.

Detailed list per profit center in FAGL_FC_VAL

Hi,
we are on ECC6 and have a question relating to foreign currency revaluation.
If we run transaction FAGL_FC_VAL the list that is returned shows the document lines, their historic rate, revaluation rate and the amount to be posted. However, this list does not take into account the correct profit center split.
The posting on the other hand does.
How can we get a detailed list that ties the posted amounts per profit center back to the original documents? Or can we get the first list to show us the ledger view rather than the entry view of the documents being revaluated?
Any help is appreciated!
Best regards
Sven

Hi Sachin,
the question is in fact how can we tie back the postings to the original documents:
e.g. I have 1 custumer invoice. Document number 1 which through document split has received 2 profit centers.
On the first screen 1 get 1 line:
                                            original FX rate          reval FX rate
document 1 : 100 USD        ,75          75 EUR       ,80     80 EUR       5 EUR exchange rate difference to be posted
If I click on the postings button I see :
debit FX differences    3 EUR profit center 1
credit FX gain               3 EUR profit center 1
debit FX differences    2 EUR profit center 2
credit FX gain               2 EUR profit center 2
We are searching for a list that replaces the first list and looks like:
                                                                     original FX rate          reval FX rate
document 1 : profit center 1 60 USD        ,75          45 EUR       ,80     48 EUR       3 EUR exchange rate difference to be posted
document 1 : profit center 2 40 USD        ,75          30 EUR       ,80     32 EUR       2 EUR exchange rate difference to be posted
Thanks in advance for your answer.

Product-profit center

Hi guys,
Rules & any documentation to map Product categories from legacy system to Profit centers...unable to approach the issue...any help...thanks

We created a custom infoobject for our legacy products. Inside that custom object we added profit center as an attribute.
When loading the data from your legacy system you have the product, in the update rules map the profit center as a attribute of what ever product is in the record.
Done.

My macbook air will not play videos online, like product demo videos, etc.

My macbook air is running on OS X 10.9.5, with i5 processor, and for some unknown reason will not play videos, like short tutorial videos or demo videos for online shopping site. The enable plug-ins is on and I don't know what else to try. Never had this happen before.

If you can't install or update Flash, follow these instructions.
If you have installed the latest version of Flash, please take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. After each step, relaunch Safari and test.
For a "blocked plug-in" error, see Step 4.
For a "missing plug-in" error, start with Step 8.
Back up all data before making any changes.
Step 1
You might have to log out or restart the computer before a Flash update takes effect.
Step 2
From the Safari menu bar, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data...
and confirm. Close the window. Then select
           ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced ▹ Delete All...
In the sheet that opens, check the box marked
          Delete All Site Data and Settings
then click Delete Data. Close the preference pane.
Step 3
If you're only having trouble with YouTube videos, log in to YouTube and load this page. You may see a link with the text "Leave the HTML5 Trial." If so, click that link.
Step 4
a. If you get a warning of a "blocked" or "outdated" plug-in, then select the Security tab in the Safari preferences window. In the list of plugins on the left, there should be one—and only one—entry for "Adobe Flash Player," showing the same version number that you installed. Select that entry. On the right there will be a list of websites for which you have specifically allowed Flash, if any. It's normal for the list to be empty. Below that is a menu labeled
          When visiting other websites
From that menu, select either Allow or Ask.
b. If you still get the alerts, then go back to the Flash Player preference pane and select the Advanced tab. Click Check Now. Quit and relaunch the browser.
c. If the alerts still persist, triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle/Contents/Resources
Right-click or control-click the highlighted text and select
          Services ▹ Open
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open. Inside it, there should be a file named "XProtect.meta.plist". If that file is missing and you know why it's missing, restore it from a backup or copy it from another Mac running the same version of OS X. Otherwise, reinstall OS X.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
Step 5
In the Safari preferences window, select the Advanced tab and uncheck the box marked
          Stop plug-ins to save power
Step 6
Open this folder as in Step 4:
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins
Delete the following item, or anything with a similar name, if present:
          Flash Player (failing).plugin
You may be prompted for your login password.
Step 7
Re-download and reinstall Flash. Download it from the domain "get.adobe.com". Don't click a link from any other website, including this one, because you can't trust links. They may be an attempt to trick you into installing malware masquerading as Flash. Type the address into the browser window. Never download a Flash update from anywhere else.
Step 8
If you get a "missing plug-in" error, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
from the Safari menu bar and check the box marked
          Allow (or Enable) plug-ins
Then click the button marked
          Manage Website Settings...
if present and make sure that the website is not blocked for Flash.
Step 9
Select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
from the Safari menu bar. If any extensions are installed, disable them.

Relation Between Dummy Profit Center and Posting Keys.

Hello Gurus,
It will be a valuable feed back for below mentioned Scenario.
One of our client is on SAP Version 4.7 and New GL is not activated. In COCD one Customer Invoice entry is booked as below.
PK     Account           Amount      Profit Center
01     SURXXX1            100.00         ABCD
50     REVENUE A/c      50.00         ABCD
50     ENT TAX               20.00         ABCD
50     SERVICE TAX       30.00         ABCD
After running t codes 1KEK, F.5D, and KE5T for customer line item system picks same profit center as mentioned in other line items i.e ABCD.
But when we reverse the above document system picks DUMMY Profit center instead of ABCD.
PK     Account           Amount      Profit Center
12     SURXXX1            100.00         DUMMY
40     REVENUE A/c      50.00         ABCD
40     ENT TAX               20.00         ABCD
40     SERVICE TAX       30.00         ABCD
Basically we have checked field status variant for Posting Key 01 and 12 in which Profit Center field is Required and field status for profit center for reconciliation account is also required. This is unusual behavior which we are facing right now.

Profit Center :
A profit center is a management-oriented organizational unit used for internal controlling purposes. Dividing your company up into profit centers allows you to analyze areas of responsibility and to delegate responsibility to decentralized units, thus treating them as "companies within the company". EC-PCA lets you set up your profit centers according to product (product lines, divisions), geographical areas (regions, offices or production sites) or function (production, sales).
Profit Center Accounting (PCA) allows you to calculate internal measurements of profitability. This internal view of profitability, then, reflects the success of a given profit center at meeting the profitability goal for which it was given responsibility.
Cost Center :
The cost center is an organizational unit in a controlling area. Cost centers can be defined according to several different design approaches. A typical approach could be for an enterprise to define a cost center for each low-level organizational unit that has responsibility for managing costs. As costs are incurred, they are assigned or posted to the appropriate cost center. These costs could include payroll costs, rent and utility costs, or any other costs assignable to a given cost center.
Each cost center is assigned to a category, e.g. Administration cost center, production cost center, etc. Each cost center master record has a field for the name of the person responsible for the cost center.

How to restrict authorization at Profit Center?

There is one TCODE S_AC0_52000888 : Payable for Profit Center, which will list out the details about each company code and it associated profit center.
Following is the scenario:
we have a company code 1000, This company code has some profit center.
while executing the above tcode S_AC0_52000888, we have that oppurtunity to select the
profit centers which we want to see the details for. We have some 10-20 profit centers
in company code 1000, but however, we want to restrict the users to see the details for
respective profit center.
Can any one help me in acheiving this task? your help would be greatly appreciated!
and also rewarded.
Thanks and Regards,

Hi Friends
The problem has beend solved. It turns out that this is a report writer issue. We raised the issue with SAP and they informed that 'For Report Painter/Writer every item is checked if you have the authori-zation or not. Only the items with authorization fullfilled will be displayed afterwards'.
Based on SAP answer we created different reports for each profit center/company code.
I would like to thank you all for your time and inputs.

But, have you maintained 3KEI settings for derivation. This would give you additional flexibility to define your default account assignments. If still 3KEI is not sufficient, you can try amending the following message KI399 in OBA5. Before, making changes, you should know the implication. My question is what is the business need to change the Profit Center. Why cannot the users enter the correct WBS Element / Order, which contains the correct profit center?
=================================================
Following is the help.
Message no. KI339
Diagnosis
You entered profit center FD999 or transferred it from a previous transaction, such as material receipt from an external order. However, the system derived profit center DUMMY from the account assignments.
System Response
The system automatically determines the profit center from the assigned profitability segment, cost center, order, project, network, sales order, or cost objects. This overrides the profit center you entered manually.
Procedure
To post the data to profit center FD999, assign the profitability segment, cost center or other object to that profit center as well.
If the posting to profit center DUMMY is correct, no further action is necessary.
This message is sent as an error in the standard system. You can make the message a warning or deactivate it entirely in Customizing. Use the Implementation Guide under "Controlling: General" and choose Change message control. Enter area KI and message number 339.

Activation of Transfer Price; Profit Center;

Dear All,
As I have no prior experience in CO/ Transfer Price , I sincerely seek the assistance and help of kind souls in giving some pointers on the following questions after reading so much from everywhere.
Currently we are having a Production Profit Center selling to a Selling Profit Center at a neogotiated price. Thus we would like to activate Transfer Price in Controlling and Material Ledger to document internal revenue, internal costs and changes in stock in each Profit Center.
My queries as follows:
Activation of Transfer Price
1) The Currency & Valuation Profile has to be maintained.
As we are interested in activating the Profit Center Valuation View in Material Ledger to store the transfer price in company code currency, we will need to create a new Currency & Valuation profile as the Company Code Currency + Profit Center Valuation here. Is this correct? Is there a need to create the valuation profile for Company Code Currency + Legal Valuation?
2) Assignment of Currency & Valuation Profile to Controlling Area
If we have 2 profiles such as Company Code Currency + Profit Center Valuation and Company Code Currency + Legal Valuation, how are we to assign only a single profile to the Controlling Area? Or is it possible to assign 2 profiles to the Controlling Area?
3) Create Versions for Valuation Methods
As we are using Transfer Prices, SAP Help says we specify "Operational Actual Version 000" for the valuation which becomes the leading valuation in CO. How do we do this in the configuration?
4) Define Valuation Clearing Account
The transfer price is actually used between 2 Profit Centers within a Company Code. Thus is the defination of Valuation Clearing Account applicable in our case? From the postings that I saw from your above reply regarding the recognition of AR/AP from both Profit center, is it here or other area where we config for such posting?
5) To assign additional Postings in PCA for Internal Goods Movement
Are the GL Account postings that you displayed in your above reply configured here? Do you encourage to use Valuation Grouping Code?
6) To assign additional Postings in PCA for Production Variance
Since we have a Production Plant, does that mean we would have to assign GL Accout Postings to account for Production Variance?
7) Define Special Handling for Internal Goods Movements
If possible, kindly enlighten for what kind of expenses or situation we should use this?
Activation of Material Ledger
1) Can we use the Standard ML as we will only be using the company code currency where in the Controlling Area, we are using Controlling Area Currency. For both The Co Code Currency and Controlling Area Currency is the same currency (SGD). Thus in this case, the ML will adopt the currency type from FI and CO?
2) To allocate the transfer price, we will need to create pricing conditions and access sequence.
Also we should be using the Actual Transfer Price Variant 000 for actual postings, is this reasonable?
3) Where do we store the transfer price in the Material Ledger (Material/Profit center)?
4) When the STO is created, based on the Material/Profit Center, will the STO automatically retrieve the price from the ML? Can the price be overwritten in the STO?
Your time and efforts in reading and response are greatly appreciated!
Best Regards

Hi Sridhar,
Thanks for the inputs.
Here, I am getting the new G/l values in all the related reports after running this transaction.
For example : A perticular G/l a/c say 333100 was having value 100000.
Now after running this transaction 1KEI , the new balance of the G/l has become 250000.
For all reporting purpose, this new value is flowing for that G/l. However, now we understand that previous value of 100000 was correct for the reporting style which we were carrying out uptill now.
As a result , we would like to have the value of this G/L as 100000 again as against the current value of 250000.
In short , I want to nullify/ reverse the effect of tr. code 1KEI.
How to achieve this?
Warm Regards,
George

How to change Profit Center

Dear PS Gurus,
Kindly help me out on this.
My Query:-
I am trying to create a PO using the T-code ME58. When i am selecting the PR and adopting it i get a message as "Profit Center was set to 9999". However i want to post the data to profit center 1300.To do so the system is asking me to to assign the PSG, cost center or other object to that profit center as well.
Diagnosis by the System
You entered profit center 1300 or transferred it from a previous transaction, such as material receipt from an external order. However, the system derived the profit center 9999 from the account assignments.
Kindluy suggest as to where i should go and change the profit center so that i dont get the error message while creating the PO.
Points will be rewarded.
Regards,
Gokul

Dear NAG,
As suggested i checked the Proift Center in t-code OKB9. I found the details as follows:
CoCd - 1000 (IDES AG)
Profit Center - 9000 (IDES Portugal)
Cost Center - This field is blank
Cost Element - 800000
I checked the profit center in the material master also and found that the profit center 1300 is assigned, which is fine. Also i checked the profit center in my project. There too the same profit center has been assigned.
I changed the profit center from 9000 to 1300 in t-code OKB9, and tried making the PO.But still i am getting the same error.I have checked the entire list of profit centers assigned to CoCd 1000 in t-code OKB9 but nowhere i could find the profit center 9999 assigned. I am confused as to from where the system i picking up this profit center (9999). When i checked the details of the profit center 9999 it was found that it is a Dummy profit center but i dont know where it is assigned and from where the system is picking this Profit center.
Request you/anyone to knidly help me out in solving this issue. For your information i am trying this example in IDES.
Please help me out.
Thanks & BEst Regards,
Gokul

Changing Profit center in Sales Order after Shipment Document

Hi All,
We have situation here, The thing is at the time of creating Sales order I don't know the profit center which has to be assigned for example, I have created a sales order for goods transport, when I create the sales order I don't know which vehicle is going to transport this order and the goods can be transported by multiple vehicles.
For my business each vehicle is a cost and profit center since I wanna know the profitability of each vehicle.
So I will come to know the vehicle ( Profit center) after creating the shipment document, now I want to have the profit center of this vehicle to be updated back in the sales order so that the Billing (revenue) is recorded in this profit center.
Please let me know how to do this. I know the PC field is greyed out after shipment and PGI is done. So how to handle this.
Your suggestions will be highly appreciable
Regards,
Satan

Hi,
Thanks
If I went with internal order every where I gotta enter the internal order since it doesn't get automatically derived like a profit center. I would have to define substitutions everywhere !
I am trying to capture all the costs and revenue for each transport vehicle since this is transport business. It's not like my business is something else and vehicles are a part of it.
Almost all transactions will have to be posted with Internal order which is very difficult to configure.
Can you please elaborate on the work around you have mentioned since I am neither technical nor SD consultant.
Thanks in advance

Change Profit Center in FI/CO document for Network or WBs

The client does not want to change the profit center assignment on the network or WBS.
Finance would like the ability to change the profit center when the FI/CO document is created.
When trying a FI or CO substitution , we keep getting an error message stating that the profit center cannot be changed on the object.
The account assignment from the object will overrride any attempt to change the profit center via substitution.
Does anyone know a solution to the problem.
We are investigating adding an enhancement when the error message is called.
Thank you,
Jeffrey
