Cost Element and Profit center accounting

hi to all,
in my production system,  most of  PL accouts have been created as cost element. but some revenue and COGS accounts have not been created even there existed transaction data.
now i want to create all PL accounts as cost elements. revenue (category is 11) and COGS(category is 12) accounts link with Logistic, so i am not sure the effluence in the auto posting with Logistics.  if there is any problem?
by the way, after create all PL accounts as cost element, i want all the transaction data for PL account can flow into profit center accounting because i want to generate profit center PL report.  what shoul i do?  set the profit center field mandatory or set Substitution? or some more reasonable solutions ?
expect your valuable suggestion/
thanks in advance
Ivan

Hi,
After creating P/L accounts as cost element when ever you will post to that account it will ask for posting to true CO object it can be a real cost center, real internal order or profitability segment etc.
If you want all P/L account to post to profit center,  you can  set profit center field mandatory and you can enter profit center  manually.If your CO account assignment  is cost center System can also derive profit center from cost center master data.and OKB9 is more option which u can make use of.

  • Difference between Business area and profit center accounting

    Hi Frnds,
    Can any body explain about difference between business area and profit center accounting .

    Hi
    Business area will have many profit centers. For example Vehicle is a business area in a company. Vehicle can be cars and Bikes etc. Here Vehicle is business area and Cars and Bike are profit centers. In broad Vehicle is a profit center. But as it has sub areas those are profit centers. So profit centers cannot be replaced with business area and vice versa. We can replace business area by Profit centre, only condition is that it should be in same controlling area. The business area is more like a business unit of a company. You can have multiple profit centers within a business area.
    Main distinguish factor is that distribution and assessment in possible in profit center but not in business area.
    One more distinction is that Business area need not be attached to any organisation structure. But profit centres can be created only under the controlling area. Business area can be across controlling area.
    Business area concept is used for making stragic decisions by the management whereas the primary purpose of profit centre accounting is responsibility accounting.

  • Using Business Area and Profit Center Accounting with New GL functionality

    Hello,
    We are Public Sector and using ECC 6.0, we have been using Business Area with Fund Management. We also use Special Purpose Ledger with Document splitting. Before migrating to New GL functionality, we want to understand
    -     The possibility of using both Business Area and Profit Center Accounting, and the impact on the system
    -     If we activate Profit Center Accounting before migration, how will it work with the splitting process?
    -     If we migrate without Profit Center Accounting, will this cause the activation of Profit center accounting later to be more complicated, even if we migrate again?
    Thanking you

    Hi Sachin,
    Thank you for the reply, we want to know that
    -     The possibility of using both Business Area and Profit Center Accounting, and the impact on the system
    If we decide using Profit Center Accounting with Business Area with New GL functionality how we should do it
    -     should we activate classical Profit Center Accounting before migrating to New GL functionality, if we do this how will it work with the splitting process?
    -     If we migrate to New GL functionality without Profit Center Accounting, will this cause the activation of Profit center accounting later to be more complicated, even if we migrate again?
    Thanking you

  • DOC Splitting in New GL and Profit center accounting activation

    Dear All,
    I am in a dilemma regarding the following -
    We are activating doc splitting with profit center and segment as characteristics.
    1) While maintaining Controlling area settings(OKKP) - do we need to activate "Profit Center Accounting" component?
    2) Similarly, in IMG-Controlling - Profit Center Accounting- Basic Settings-Controlling Area Settings-Maintain Controlling Area Settings (0ke5), do we need to maintain any settings?
    I am of the opinion that ,based on the SAP Note - 826357, that we need not activate PC accounting as it is built into New GL Accounting.
    I am also of the opinion, again based on the note, that we can use classic PC accounting, but the note recommends and I quote
    we do not recommend you do this on a long-term basis due to the increased data volume and the increased time and effort required, and in the case of active document splitting, the update response changes.
    But I am not able to come to a conclusion.
    In earlier  implementations, I activated PC accounting in OKK5 in New GL doc split scenario. So keeping that in mind, pl guide me.
    Thanks & regards,
    Gov

    My query is: how the distribution for the reconciliation account will work; for example, a vendor invoice is posted so the vendor line item will get the PC from the other line item. Here the PC is general Plant level PC now I want to distribute this posting to the vendor account to the other PC. How this can be done?
    the same query for Asset and material reconcilition posting.
    Please let me knwo if more information is required.
    Regards,

    Hello,
    Thanks for the reply.
    in my company Plant and Profit center is mapped on one to one basis. now we are reengineering the profit center hierarchy as Plant and product group combination.
    now come to the example the material purchase entry. Here the material is updated with the common profit center at plant level which we need to distrubute to the other profit center (which is created as product group and plant combination) in period end closing activities with the decided allocation %. This we are doing for generating Balance Sheet at Profit Center Level (which is now a combination Plant and Product Group)
    Now I am not able to run Distribution with FAGLGA3*. Please guide how to run distribution for Reconciliation account like Vendor, Asset and Material.?
    Please let me know if more information is requried.

  • Change the Accounting document fields cost center and profit center

    Dear Experts,
    User has posted document with wrong profit center
    For that we subjected that he can go to the profit center actual posting T.Code 9ke0 but with that he can only change the Profit center document with that there is no accounting side updating
    I have tried with Document Change Rules, Line Item for fields cost center and profit center  in that while configuring I did not get any error message,
    But in the document I am unable to changing the same fields cost center and profit center  
    Can any body please guide me to resolve the issue?
    Essentially I want to change the Accounting document fields cost center and profit center   
    Thanks in Advance,
    Wiswanath

    Hello,
    Once the documents are posted in FI module, the system doesn't allow anybody to change the cost objects (cost center, profit center, internal order). The only fields you can change through FB02 transaction are the Line item text (BSEG-SGTXT) and the assignment (BSEG-ZUONR).
    If you want to get a change to the cost object to be reflected from FI to CO, you should reverse the FI documents with wrong cost objects and post new documents with correct cost center, profit center.
    Hope it helps you.
    Cheers,
    Daniel.

  • Assign manual cost and profit center for 3rd party purchase order

    When we have a 3rd party purchase order we need to assign OUR cost and profit center to that document.  Here is the scenario:
    We buy a product from a vendor for $10 and then re-sell the product to a customer for $100.  Instead of posting this information to either cost or profit center of the vendor and customer, we need to assign the $10 to our company cost center and the $90 to our company's profit center.  We are basically acting as a middle man for selling a product.
    I am fairly a newbie, so please provide detailed answers if possible.  We create the sales order in VA01 and create the purchase order in ME22N.

    HI Kapil,
    For any accounting entry you need to define a General Ledger Account where the details (Amount) of the transaction will be stored.
    Just by maintaining cost centre will not help in completing any transaction involving accounts. So you need to  maintain G/L account in the controlling area of your company code.
    You can use T Code FS00 to create new G/L account in the chart of accounts.
    In the edit cost element Tab you can give the cost center that you want.
    I hope this helps.
    thanks

  • Cost Center, Work Center and Profit Center

    Hi ALL,
    Can any one please explain me the concept of Cost Center, Work Center and Profit Center.
    And where and when do I assign the cost center???
    Amit

    Hi Check the following "
    Cost centers represent areas of responsibility where costs are incurred or where responsibility for costs may be assigned.  They represent the smallest unit of responsibility within the organizational structure of an enterprise.
    A cost center can be pictured as a ‘cost bucket’ such as a department, product line, production stage or geographical area. 
    An unlimited number of cost centers may be created.
    All cost centers within on controlling area have to be assigned to a cost center hierarchy (standard hierarchy).
    Costs originally posted to one cost center may be distributed and assessed to one or more other cost centers using allocations.
    How are costs assigned/posted to a cost center?
    External financial accounting documents created in FI, AM or MM that post to a G/L expense account can be configured to require a cost center assignment be entered at the time of transaction entry.  The system automatically creates a parallel CO document that posts to the indicated cost center.
    Cost elements master records can be configured to be posted to a certain cost center (automatic account assignment).
    In addition, other non-financial activity (i.e., direct labor hours) may be posted directly to cost centers from within CO or via other modules such as PP  or HR

  • 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.
    Regards,
    Amit

  • Profit Center Accounting in ECPCA and New GL

    Hi Friends,
    We want to use the ECPCA profit center accounting for managment reporting. Also we are using new GL therefore we also have Profit Center accounting accounting.
    Can we just go with ECPCA, if yes what would be the dis-advantage of not using New GL profit center accounting.
    Also can we use the both, if yes then do we need to take care of something specfic which you would like to suggest.
    Thanks in Advance

    Hi,
    Thanks for the SNote. But now I am in a fix.
    Note says that if I use the new GL and document splitting then I should not use the EC-PCA.
    But my client do not want the cost center allocations to come in FI due to Regulatory constraints i.e no CO-FI reconciliation, however want to see the profitability at profit center level, as well as balance sheet at profit center level.
    If I use EC-PCA for giving profitability at at profit Center level then I will not be able to use document splitting in New GL to give the balance sheet at profit center level.
    And if I use New GL then I cannot give the profitability at profit center level as allocations are not there in FI.
    Have anybody faced a similar issue, if yes can throw a light on the same.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Ankur
