Cost center missing in FAGLFLEXT, FAGLL03

Question

Hi Friends,
I have some Material / Production order documents coming from MM / PP module to FI, which posted with CO objects - cost center & Internal order. When it comes to table FAGLFLEXT, I am not able to see the cost center, wherever Internal order is there. But the document is posted to both cost center & Internal order.
The documents which not posted with an order, showing the cost center properly. But the documents posted with both cost center & order not showing the cost center in FAGLFLEXT table / FAGLL03.
Please give me the possible reasons for this issue and help me to get this cost center in FAGLFLEXT. table.
Thanks
Kanna

Hi Kanna,
Here it can be different reasons:
1) Cost center is statistical.
When the cost center is statistical assignment, the New GL doesn't take into consideration.
Please check note 964686 that explains this common issue:
"Subsequent CO processes (assessment, distribution) only take non-statistical account assignments into account. These subsequent processes in CO can create follow-on documents in FI within the real-time integration of CO to FI. These follow-on documents are based on primary postings. If primary FI processes of the new general ledger also contain statistical account assignments, the direct posting of CO to FI for the assessment will return non-statistical postings in FI and not primary (statistical) account assignments."
In the classical GL only the integration from FI to CO and not from CO to FI was available. Therefore this issue has not been relevant for classical GL. For the New GL this can be very critical.
2) You have not assigned the scenario for your ledger.
Please check if the field 'Cost Center' (RCNTR) is in your system in table FAGLFLEXT.
Please check the scenarios for your ledger. You may need the scenario for business area (scenario FIN_COS).
In order to get this field populated you have to activate the scenario for Cost Center in the implementation guide.
You get further information in the documentaion under
General Ledger Accounting (FI-GL) (New)
     Ledgers
       Making Settings for Ledgers
Unfortunately only old transactions which read the entry view (BSEG) can view the statistical account assignments in the reporting. But I'd like to say more about this:
The 'Entry view' takes its value from table BSEG, however, the 'General ledger view' takes the value from table FAGLFLEXA these created 'Customer fields' will not automatically show in this view IF they have not been assigned to your ledger in your customizing (IMG).
So, the 'Customer fields' only appear in the tables FAGLFLEXA and FAGLFLEXT if they previously have been generated into the table via txn FAGL_GINS.
If a value is filled for a Line Item in the Cost center field in table BSIS/BSAS, but not in table FAGLFLEXA, then you should be able to see the Cost Center filled in Entry view in FAGLL03, but not in G/L view.
However, in order to see the actual values of these fields now in the 'General ledger view' in the FI document (FB03) as well as in the New G/L line item display (FAGLL03), you will have to assign your 'Customer fields' to your ledger first!
Maybe this is currently not done in your customizing (IMG):
Transaction SPRO ->  Financial Accounting (New) - Financial Accounting Basic Settings
(New) - Ledgers - Ledger - Assign Scenarios and Customer Fields to
Ledgers: -> choose the relevant ledger (e.g. 0L) -> go to 'Customer
Fields'
-> Please assign the customer fields to your ledger in IMG!
I hope that this answer your inquiry.
Best Regards,
Vanessa Barth.
