Profit Center : Reflect - Vendor, Customer, Bank/Cash Balance

Dear Experts,
Ref. : Reflect - Vendor, Customer, Bank/Cash Balance, Balance Sheet GL Accounts - Profit Center wise.
When we do postings to P&L Items, we assign a CO / Cost Object. Such Cost objects may be Orders, Cost Centers, etc., which has a Profit Center assigned to it.
Now, we wish to view Balance Profit Center wise.
My Concerns :
1. Can Vendor, Customer, Bank/Cash Balance, Balance Sheet GL Accounts - Profit Center wise. Since we do not assign CO objects to such line items, but the correspondense line items (P&L GL) has a CO object.
2. If yes, how do we move balance of such items, to Profit Center / profit Center wise.
Experts, please help me to understand the concept.
Regards,
Hussein.

Hi,
Are you in ECC activated new G/L? If yes, then you can define Profit Center as Document Splitting Characteristic for General Ledger and profit center will be in the AR/AP line item as well in ledger view (though you don't enter profit center during document entry).
You cannot give the Profit center in line item level to the Subledger accounts like vendor and customers.Vendor and customer accounts take the profit center from the offsetting entry.If want to see the profit center to the particular document, open the document go to Environment field and select Balance Sheet Adjustment option.
If you want to see the Profit center wise payables and receivables, use T.code GR55 and take report group 8A90 for Periodic Receivables and 8A91 for Payable.
If you want to see the all payables with Profit center use Table BFOK_A for vendors BFOD_A for customers.

Auth by Profit Center for FAGLB03

I am looking to limit the info that can be pulled from FAGLB03 by profit center.
I have tried adding profit center auth objects and SU24- turning on K_PCA from No to Yes.
The user is still able to pull all data.
Please assist.

Hi
The functionality required by you had been introduced by SAP with the Ehp3. The extract from the release notes are as follows.
"FIN_GL_CI_1: Authorization Check for Profit Centers (New)
Use
From SAP ECC 6.0, Enhancement Package 3, Business Function New General Ledger Accounting, you can define profit center authorizations for posting, displaying, and clearing documents. When you have activated the authorization check for profit centers, the system reacts as follows:
o A document can only be posted if the user has authorization for all profit centers to which
postings were made in the document. The authorization check is performed
simultaneously during data entry.
o For manual clearing, the system only selects those open items that, in accordance with
the general ledger view, make postings to profit centers that are initial or for which the
user is authorized.
o For document display, the system only displays those line items for which the profit
centers are initial or in which postings are made to authorized profit centers.
Note:
The authorization check for profit centers does not enable transactions to be processed entirely
from the point of view of profit centers. This means, for example, that automatic payment
processes and automatic clearing continue to be performed centrally and not specific to profit
centers - even when the authorization check is activated for profit centers.
Effects on Customizing
The following prerequisites must be met before profit center authorizations can be issued:
o In Customizing for Financial Accounting (New), you have activated the scenario Profit
Center Update for at least one ledger.
o You have assigned the authorizations for the desired profit centers in the useru2019s profile.
In Customizing for Financial Accounting Global Settings (New), you then perform the activity
Activate Authorization Check for Profit Centers.
If necessary, you can activate this function in Customizing independently of the other functions
in the New General Ledger Accounting business function. The function is not activated
automatically when the business function is activated."
Hope this suffice your requirements, if you need further information, let me know abou the same.

How can I make postings to Profit center in fb01?

Dear All,
I have activated profit center accounting. And I have created dummy profit center in spro.
I want to use profit center as objects for statistical postings. I have opened field profit center in fb01.
Now when I make actual posting for cost center or internal order I can define profit center too. But even if I choose needed profit center the system puts automatically dummy profit center.
How can I avoid this and define profit center I want?
With best regards,
Kamila Zhakenova.

Hi
You can not achieve that... The PC in FI postings cant be changed when you are making posting to a Cost Element
If there is no PC in your CO object, then Dummy PC will be forced into the posting..
However, if you want to change this behaviour, it is as follows:
But note that, SAP wont take the responsibility for the inconsistency that may arise due to this
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
LKAIPF1N, form SUBST_FROM_REAL_OBJECT:
GD_ACC_LIST-CO_KAERG = CON_ACC_STAT )
AND NOT SFR_COBL-PRCTR IS INITIAL.
LD_PRCTR = SFR_COBL-PRCTR.
ENDIF.
IF LD_PRCTR IS INITIAL. "<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< delete
IF LD_PRCTR IS INITIAL and "<<<<<<<<<<<<< insert
not ( not SFR_COBL-PRCTR is initial and "<<<<<<<<<<<<< insert
GD_ACC_LIST-CO_KAKST = CON_ACC_REAL ). "<<<<<<<<<<<<< insert
LD_PRCTR = TKA01-DPRCT.
ENDIF.
IF LD_PRCTR <> SPACE.
sending of message moved to Form PROFIT_CENTER_CHECK "DEL 569565
SFR_COBL-PRCTR = LD_PRCTR.
ENDIF.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
With this modification, the profit center entered won't be changed for postings coming into the CO-interface. All other, especially
internal postings, cannot be changed.

Profit center and Partner profit center assignment in TM transaction

Dear Experts,
I am very new on TRM, could you tell me how you define profit center and partner profit center for FI posting pass from TRM? I did not see there is field for PC or PPC on any of TM transaction.
Appriciate your help.
thanks
CK

Hi,
For postings from treasury you can assign default profit center and business area (also segment from EH3) to account assignment reference. The basic idea being that you generally manage all similar transactions with same account assignment reference through a same organization unit like profit center. You do this assignment in TRM -- General Settings -- Accounting -- Link to other Accounting Components -- Assign additional account assignments.
However in case you want to have a different profit center derived in a different way than through account assignment reference, you could use a custom logic and derive it using the BAdI TPM_ACCIF_TRAC.

Since you are on New GL, Pls use T Code FAGL3KEH to define a default profit center or use substitution rule to derive profit center based on Business Place & Section Code.

What is the criteria for define GL for profit center

Dear Profit center Guru,
Can guide , what is the business logic to "Choose Additional Balance Sheet and P&L Accounts/Choose Accounts" for profit center. all the Proft Loss accounts should be there? or what kind of PL should be there , and what kind of Balance sheet accounts should be defined for profit center.
Thanks,
Kick

Hi H.Kick
at Choose Additional Balance Sheet and P&L Accounts/Choose Accounts we define which accounts or account intervals we want to transfer to Profit Center Accounting. It is imperative that we maintain all the GL accounts which need to be transferred to Profit center. Needless to say that if we donu2019t maintain the GL accounts here, the balance will not be transferred to PCA.
This setting is also particularly required, if no profit center is entered for a specific transaction in one of these GL accounts, the system posts to the default profit center for that account interval.
This particular configuration can also be called from the SAP easy access
menu by entering 3KEH in the command field.
Note that the GL codes for Customers and Vendors including Advances (special GL account) which are called Reconciliation accounts should not be maintained in the 3KEH table. Reason being the Customers and Vendors line items are not transferred to the PCA module online. We have to run month
end programs to transfer Customer and Vendor balance from FI module to PCA Module
These are GL codes which are reconciliation accounts for customer and vendors, that should be excluded from the 3KEH table.
Hope i tried my best to make you clear on this.
as well see comments in the thread by MR.vanne what is the criteria for define GL for profit center
Thanks...Vyas

How to define Budget on Profit Center level

Hi All,
is it possible to define a budget on profit center level in SBO 2005A SP01.
My understanding ist, that a budget can only be defined on account level (if marked as 'relevant for budget).
If not possible - any idea/solution how to do it?
Thank you
E. Ambauen

As this is not a standard feature in SAP Business One, the best alternative is to add a User Defined Table with a column for Profit Center and Distribution Rule and/or G/L account. Bear in mind that the profit center totals are not stored in a table in SAP Business One, but rather calculated from the JDT1 (journal rows) table each time you request a report for a profit center/(s).
By writing your own query you could join the JDT1 table with your UDT and get the comparisons, etc. The table JDT1 contains a link only to distribution rules and not profit centers and would therefor have to be represented somehow in the UDT.
The only other alternative is an SDK add-on custom written for this.
Kind regards

Balancing field "profit center" error can not fixed by define doc split.

Dear all,
I am creating invoice by FB60 and hit error
I open Performance assistant, and follow the instruction that link to "Define Document Splitting Characteristics for General Ledger Accounting".
I made the "Zero balances" as unchecked, save, and then I could post the vendor invoice.
Then, I come back to FB60, try to generate the other invoice and hit the same error.
I open "Define document spilliting ..." again, made Zero balances as checked, then I posted invoices successfully.
But again, when I come back, I still got the same error.
Filling the profit center in first line item couldn't solve the problem.
Please help if you got any ideas about this error.
Thank you a lot.
