Customer & Vendor postings with Profit Centers

hello all,
I am facing a peculiar problem out here. The clients requirement is they want to post all the customer & vendor transactions with the Profit centers. I had collected all the relevant Posting keys for the transaction postings for the customers & Vendors. I had changed the profit center from "optional entry" to "Required Entry" in Filed Status maintain. But still I am unable to get the profit centers at the time of Posting of Transaction.
Please Suggest.

Dear Prasad,
Why dont you make cheque issue accounts of all profit centers as fixed in T.code FAGL3KEH so that at GL view you can see profit center

Vendor Clearing with Profit center

Hi All,
We have requirement as below:
While making vendor payment our client wants to choose Profit center as a sorting option.
Vendor bill booking (MIRO/FB60) level Profit center is updated in the General ledger view. But it's not showing while clearing the same bill (F-53) by choosing profit center as a Sorting field.
At the time of Bill booking (MIRO/FB60) at entry level Profit center is not updated. By using New General Ledger we get the respective profit centers in vendor line items, those are derived from the GL accounts line items. ( expense /GRIR Lines) and it is with this profit center that the journal entries are created in FI
We are getting Profit center at General ledger view level but not the Entry level. So at the time of vendor payment (F-53) we are not getting the Profit center wise vendor invoice details.
We have identified possible solutions as below, but nothing was worked out. So can you please suggest the possible options.
Book the invoice (MIRO/FB60) by entering profit center in Non valuated fields (Reference, Document header text, Assignment and Reference key1/2/3 etc). In this case lets use Reference Key3 and make this field as a mandatory field for substitute Profit center field in Vendor line item level. But later we identified that Reference Key3 is using for "As a part of SAP Thai localization, a withholding tax certificate number is stored in the Reference Key 3 field of the vendor item" So we can't use reference key 3. Remaining Ref key fields are using for some other purpose.
Thanks in advance.

Vendor postings with purchase order

hi,
I am learning SAP Fi/co.I have one doubt .what are steps we have to maintain to post vendor transactions with purchase order.if u have any material about mm plz send to me.

Commitment
Definition
Identifies costs that will be incurred in the future for materials and services that you have requested or ordered. Commitments reserve funds that will become costs at a future date.
Use
On the account assignment objects, Commitments Management portrays the cost side of the procurement process for MM Purchasing. The costs incurred are assigned to business objects, such as orders, cost centers, or projects.
In Commitments Management, you can specify which object the costs are to be assigned to (for example, purchase order costs). In this case, this is known as an Initial Account Assignment.
Commitments Management distinguishes between three types of commitments, depending on the account assignment object:
Order Commitment:
The commitment is initially assigned to an order.
Cost Center Commitment:
The commitment is initially assigned to a cost center.
Project Commitment:
The commitment is initially assigned to a project, or to a work breakdown structure element.
For more information, see the SAP Library:
For Internal Orders
Financials ® Controlling ® Internal orders ® Manual Actual Postings On Internal Orders.
For Cost Center Accounting
Financials ® Controlling ® Cost Center Accounting ® Manual Actual Postings.
For Project System
Financials ® Controlling ® Commitments/Actual Updates Of Transaction Data
Integration
Commitments occur
In Purchasing, due to:
Purchase requisitions (purchase requisition commitment) define the internal requirement for a material or a service. Purchase requisitions have a control function and you change them at any time.
Purchase orders (purchase order commitment):
Purchase orders are contractual requests to a vendor, to supply certain goods or services according to the agreed conditions. No short-term, unilateral changes can be made.
due to funds commitments (commitment for funds commitments):
- You can use Funds Commitments to reserve funds for costs you are fairly certain to incur, but you cannot yet assign to a specific business transaction (such as, a purchase order or a purchase requisition).

No postings on profit centers or cost centers or both

Hi!
I will assin points for every reasonable answer!
This is the problem.
We are on ECC6.0 - new GL is NOT activated!
We have tons of cost center and profit center problems - sometimes there are no postings on profit center, sometimes there are no postings on cost centers, but it goes to Dummy profit center. sometimes there are no posting on profit AND cost center....it is not even going to dummy.
Where do i start fixing it?
I know there can be multiple problems, but please help me to start looking.....What are the steps of fixing it?
Any ideas?

There are all types of issues:
-Sometimes JE are not having profit center assigned to revenue accounts (and it wouldn't go to dummy)
-Every time production order settlement will go to dummy for the part of the cost that comes from the Purchase order ( the rest of the cost would go to the profit center assigned in the production order master data)
-Customer deposits wtire offs (that i think is the user error too)
-Material Scrap transactions
So, most of the errors require user training. But, whatever is in the system need to be fixed, right?
What are the reports i can execute to see all the differences?
What is the best way to monitor it from happening?

KE28 - problem with Profit Centers

Hi Gurus,
I have segments with several profit centers.
On one profit center I have costs. On the remaining I have revenues.
I want to distribute costs from the first profit center to the others by revenues they have.
Is it possible?
THX

Hi G
In your case, Dist Lvl will be PC.
In selection criteria, if you enter the Source PC and choose Sales revenue as Tracing factor, will that not work??
Usually, Top Down works when you wanna allocate from a higher level to lower level. In your case, the level is same I.e. Sender and Receiver both are PCs
If the above suggestion does not work, then you need to identify one more characteristic along with source or target PCs. Say, Dist channel. In this case, choose PC as Dist Lvl and Dist channel in the selection criteria

CO history update with Profit centers

Hi Experts,
I am having a problem. I want to update the CO documents originating in CO by Production order confirmation, which uses secondary cost elements.
The direct way is to update the Production orders with the PCA and run 1KEA. However, I was wondering if there is a user exit which could be called during 1KEA.
Could someone throw some light. Thanks.
Vishal Thakur

There is no way. You have to update the Production orders with the PCA's and then run 1KEA.

Profit centers analyse per Company Code

Dear all,
If I set up profit center accounting with profit centers cross-company codes. How would it be best to analyse the profit centers per company code without increasing the number of profit centers?
Can this be done with statistical postings without line items? All suggestions are welcome.
Best regards,
Michaë

Hi
As you yourself said, profit centers are and can be created cross company codes
In all the PC reports, you will have comp code as the selection field.. So, that should help you in viewing PC balances company code wise

Profit centers in multiple CoCd's.

Hello Gurus,
I would greatly appreciate your thoughts on the following. Points available.
I am confused with Profit centers in PCA. My client has 2 CoCd's (US and UK). They sell a type of electronic device. They also sell accessories and subscriptions that go with the eletronic device. They want profit centers set up by product line in SAP. I therefore have created 3 profits centers in the Sandbox: 1) Device Profit center 2)Accessories Profit center and 3) Subscription Profit center.
So whenever they sell any of the 3 types of products, the amount hits the appropriate profit center, because we have attached the Profit center to the Material in MM02.
My question is this: Do I need to create the profit centers just once? Or do I need to create the same 3 profit centers for each CoCd? For example, for the US CoCd, I create 3 profit centers. Do I then need to create another 3 profit centers for the UK CoCd as well, or is the first time I create the profit centers sufficient for both company codes?
Hope the question makes sense.
Thanks in advance!

Cost center is company code specific and u can create ur own cost centers in each company code which may be different from US company code. So when u are running a cost center report u can see under the company code/ controlling area where as for the profit center it will show the details for the entire profit center that for both the company codes

Thanks.

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,

Having Multiple Material Codes with Different Profit Centers in one Plant

Hi,
Can someone explain me what impact it will have, if there are different Material Codes with multiple profit centers in a single plant? For example, say Material 1 has Profit Center as PC1 and Material 2 has Profit Center as PC2 and they are in a single plant. Will this have impact on Financial Transactions?
Thanks and Regards,
Sameer Joshi

Hi Sameer
No negative impact.. It is very much possible and logical
All the purchases made - > Stocks and vendor liability will be tagged to the PC of the Material
All the sales made -> COGS, Revenue and Customer Liability will be tagged to the PC of the material, unless you overwrite using a Substitution

Profit centers with COPA

Hi,
I have a few doubts about the need of EC-PCA in a project where COPA is being implemented.
The client would like to get info about the profitabilyty of organisation units as well as products, groups of products, clients and so on.
However he is unable to assign materials to only one profit center (which would be production departaments in this case). Different Finished goods, semi finished goods, wares and services can be assigned to more than one production departament. (a material index cannot be assigned to only one PC in this case).
What would u advise me? Should I use EC-PCA but change the PC hierarchy or COPA is enough for these purposes?
Best wishes,
Karol

Dear Karol,
Here the some infirmation is about Profit center related and cost center.hope this infirmation will helps you
You would need check the design of PCA and what the business wants to use PCA for. For example do you want to produce P&L Statements and or Balance Sheets by Profit centers etc.
In terms of the cost center assignment to profit centers, the main use of this is to ensure that all costs posted to a cost center will be simultaneously posted to the assigned Profit center. Now in PCA configuration you have to create a "Dummy Profit Center", the consequence of this is that if a profit center cannot be derived (for example if you do not maintain a profit center in the material master) or from the cost center or a profit center is not entered in a posting, the entry will be automatically posted to the "Dummy" profit center.
In terms of design, we are faced, in certain circumstances when we design PCA along the product lines for example, what to do with certain postings such as bank charges or admin costs, which are not directly attributable to the product line.
One way to treat these, is to Create a "Corporate" or "ADMIN" Profit center and assign all the service cost centers to this Profit center and at month end re-allocate to the Product Line Profit center via Distribution or Assessment for example based on sales volume or fixed amounts or percetntages or SKF's to make the reporting more meaningful
create additional profit centers and assign all admn, IT other than production cost centers to either Common, Admin or Corporate profit centers. Suggest you create following non product cost centers
1) Corporate
2) Admin
3) Product Common
Assign profit centers to cost centers logically
In MM master records assign product related profit centers to RM and FG / SFG material types. This takes care from material accounting point of view in PCA
For transfer of costs collected in Non Product related profit centers proceed as follows
1) Create PCA assessment Cycles
2) At month end allocate these expenses and check cost in non product profit centers is zero.
3) Decide on the allocation basis
4) This ensures that you have PCA wise all P&L items accounted.
5) You can then design PCA wise report painter reports for PCA wise P&L
Hope the above will help you

Plant transfer with margin with different profit centers

Dear Experts,
We have a scenario wherein we manufacture the product at plant 100 and sell through plant 200.
As per new requirement, above plant transfer should be done with the margin.
Example:
Plant 100, product Std price: 1000
At the time of transfer to plant 200, product price should be 1500.
Rs. 500 will be the fixed margin for the year. next year it may change.
Plant 100, Prodcut price: 1000, profit center 101
Plant 200, product price 1500, profit center 201
Please guide me hoe to set up above case
Thanks

Hello Simi,
You can define a new condition type for the price at the second plant 200 (say ZP01 in the below screenshot) and maintain this condition type once in a year using MEK1. The condition class of this should be B - prices
Also, both plant 100 and 200 will need to have price control Standard at 1000 and 1500 respectively.
Now define a condition type(say Z000 in the screenshot below) and call it STO notional profit/margin ( I call this notional as you are gaining a profit from 'selling' to your own plant). This condition type should have condition class A -Discount/Surcharge
In the pricing procedure, assign subtotal E against condition type P101 (this standard condition type automatically picks Standard price in plant 100). Against ZP01, assign subtotal D.
Now against Z000 assign calculation type 12 (calculates ZP01 - P101). Against Z000, maintain an accrual key ZW1 (say) and assign this to an 'STO profit' G/L in OBYC.
Your postings in PGI should look as below in the 2nd screenshot. The profit centers in my case is the same, however, you can maintain different profit centers in Plant data 1 for the material in the 2 plants.
