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,
Pras

Hi 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
    sandhya

    Hi 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.

  • Logic for configuration of profit centers

    Hi,
    I'm through with configuration of cost centers in our company, now I'm due to configure the profit centers. One point is, in our sister concern, they have copied all the cost centers and configured the profit centers on the same logic.
    could anyone suggest me on how to do this, if there is any copy procedure and what would be the effects of copying the cost centers and configuring profit centers with the same number.
    say if a cost center exists like: 402010 which is mumbai manufacturing, can I have the profit center with the same number 402010 for mumbai manufacturing, and what would be the effect of doing so.
    And can I copy the variances cost centers as well to make variances profit centers
    Plz suggest
    Regards
    Soujanya.

    Hello
    Please go through the IMG settings, after you get an idea from the below info
    The master data includes the master records for the individual profit centers, as well as the corresponding standard hierarchy and alternative profit center groups.
    Your company’s standard profit center hierarchy may somewhat resemble the cost center hierarchy. Consequently, Profit Center Accounting provides a function which lets you copy the entire cost center hierarchy to the profit center hierarchy (see Customizing). You can then change the profit center hierarchy with the normal maintenance transactions to meet your requirements in Profit Center Accounting.
    It is also possible to create account groups that are valid only for Profit Center Accounting. These account groups help you structure your information system to better meet your requirements.
    It is possible to copy the cost and revenue element groups used in Cost Center Accounting (CO‑CCA) or the balance sheet account groups used in Financial Accounting (FI) to Profit Center Accounting, and then change them in EC-PCA to meet your requirements.
    You can also maintain FI accounts and CO cost/revenue elements from the Profit Center Accounting application menu. However, these are not originally master data for Profit Center Accounting. On the contrary, the integration of the SAP system makes it possible for you to access the FI and CO master data directly.
    The assignments of all profit‑relevant objects to profit centers play an important role. These determine how your business is divided up into areas of responsibility. You make these assignments in the master data of the original objects (materials, cost centers, orders, projects, sales orders, assets, cost objects, profitability segments).

  • Cost Centers and Profit centers default

    Hi,
    Apart from OKB9 settings where else we can design for default cost and profit centers.
    thanks
    RP

    Hi,
    For cost centres you can set the default directly in cost element master data (KA02). Regarding profit centre, you can use 3KEH transaction.

  • HT201363 I cannot find the answers to my security questions for Itunes and cannot figure out how to reset them

    I cannot find the answers to my security questions for ITunes and cannot figure out how to reset the questions.

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, clicking here and picking a method for your country, and filling out and submitting this form.
    They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

    when i got my i phone they had me answer questions for security and now i went to itunes to buy something and they asked me totally different questions...so now i cant buy things from itunes..can i reset or change the questions

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    You might try to see if you can change your security questions. Start here, change your country if necessary and go tomanage your account > Password and Security.
    I'm able to do this, others say they need to input answers to their current security questions in order to make changes, I'm inclined to think its worth a try, you don't have anything to lose.
    If that doesn't help you might try contacting Apple through Express Lane (select your country, navigate to iCloud help and enter the serial number of one of your devices)

  • 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,

  • 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,

    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.
