Dummy Profit center issue while posting the transaction in FB60

Dear SAP friends,
We have implemented ECC6.0 version,
I have the below issue:
I am posting the document in FB60 transaction: after simulating the document system is throwing the error "Profit center 9937/FIREPRODMY does not exist for 14.08.2009"
Message no. KM700
Document spilitting active at Business area level..
In 0KE5( maintain controlling area settings) I have not given the Dummy profit center.
Eventhough it is asking for Dummy profit center while posting, Please let me know apart from the 0Ke5 settings do i need to remove the dummy profit center anywhere in the Config.
I have not maintained any settings in FAGL3KEH, 3KEH and OKB9.
No sunstitutions are active in the system.
Please let me know from where i need to remove the dummy profit center.
My client going live on 17th Aug 2009.
Regards,
Anand

Hi,
Check the validity period of the Profit Center 9937/FIREPRODMY. The valid from period should have the date same or earlier than 14.08.2009
If not then change the profit center master data to be valid from an earlier date (Tcode KE52). Steps-
KE52 - Profit Center FIREPRODMY
Click Change Validity Period (Ctrl +F1)
Valid from - put a date earlier or equal to 14.08.2009
Click Activate (Shift + F1)
Thanks,

Prevent postings to dummy profit center

dear experts
1)The inheritance option that we turn on during the activation of new G/L in ecc6.0, do you know where i can turn on that option in sap4.7.
2)what are the impacts of changing a document splitting rule in sap4.7 like in rule000000001 splitting is done for the documents for customers, vendors, tax and the client wants to change it to 000000012 which is splitting for customer,vendor, tax,money,co.code clearing. what are the areas that are to be tested for this configuration change.
3)i have posted a purchase order and noticed that G/r and I/R went into the correct profit center but the payment went into dummy profit center.
so i have deleted that number range in 3keh rule and then posted an other purchase order even then the payment went into dummy profit center what could be the reason? there are no substitution rule for that document type, i have checked okb9 but this account i snot assigned to any cost centers or profit centers.
how can i know what is causing the g/l account to derive dummy profit center?
thank you
srinivas.

Hi..
Try to assgin that GL Account in 3KEH and give original correct profit center which you want to post exactly instead of Dummy profit center.
Generallly, If you dont specify the Profit center for one GL Account in Derivation Rules, System will automatically posts to Dummy profit center only..
One more option you have is.. even if you post this payment to Dummy profit center, you can very well transfer that Dummy profit center values to Correct profit center..
Thanks

Updating the dummy Profit Center

Hi Experts
I am using the PCA with new GL , here I have created the dummy profit center also
My query is some of the business transaction are updated in the dummy profit center
What could be the reason for updating the dummy profit center suppose if I am not give any profit center
Those entries are getting updating ?
In this new Gl concept how to transfer the balance to exact Profit center ?
Thanks
Sri

Hi Venkat
You should not have activated Classical PCA if you are using New GL.. New GL PCA is a much better functionality
Anyways, the reason for DUmmy PC is only that you did not assign the PC in the CO Object like Cost Center.. PC is always derived from Cost object. So, if the CO Object has no PC, the line item gets Dummy PC
There is a SAP note 702854 which offers steps to deactivate Classical PCA.. If you wish you can do that.. There is no harm as such in having Classical PCA, but New GL Is better

Dummy cost center, Dummy profit center

Hi everybody,
anyone tell me, why is necessary to use dummy cost center and profit center ? what does dummy cost center, profit center mean?

Thank in advance

Hi Tran,
Dummy Profit Center
In SAP, we need to create a dummy profit center when you activate profit center. It is mandatory. This dummy profit center gets values when the system could not find regular profit center in its attempt. We need to configure the system such a way, there is no posting into dummy profit center. Or otherwise, by mistake, if it gets posting, the same have to be post PCA documents to clear them. Then only we get balanced Profit Center wise statement of income or balance sheet.
Dummy Cost Center
There is no such term in SAP and there is no need to use any of the cost center as dummy cost center. Only very few companies use some cost center for making accounting adjustments and shall not be allocated to other cost objects including products, I think that it is better that we need not such term in our consulting and practice of Controlling.
Trust this answers your query!

Use of dummy profit center

Hi
I am on ECC6.0 and profit center accounting is active. I have one dummy center.
Now what is the use of dummy profit center. It i because SAP will not allow me to post FI transaction with out profit center because of document splitting. Then how dummy profit center will be used

Hi,
The profit center accounting is based on the derivation rules. Derivation rules are nothing but how and to which profit center the postings are to be done.
If the derivation rules are not there, then the incomes and expenses would be posted to this dummy profit center.
At the end of the month if this dummy profit center has balances, it means that the derivation is missing and hence these balances from the dummy cost center will be assigned to the correct profit center manually.
Dummy profit center acts as a cross check to see the accuracy of the postings in to the various profit centers depending on the derivations.
Thank you,
Shilpa.

Transaction from production order always post into dummy profit center

Dear SAP experts,
I have problem with profit center.
I have material master "A1" and "A1B1". The process is "A1" is raw material for making "A1B1".
The CO team forgot to entry the profit center field in both of material in their material master.
So when there are posting " material consumed " and "good receipt" in production order,PL account "material consumed" (happen when good issue to production order) and PL account "production output" (happen when good receipt from same production order) are mapping to dummy profit center.
This because of the CO team forgot to entry the profit center field in both of material in their material master, so ssystem post to dummy profit center.
So I change both of the material masters and entry the profit center field (so it's not blank).
But when the PP team make new production order and post the same transaction, it still post into dummy profit center (the profit center that I entry in material master is not read by system).
Even when the PP team create new material with the same spesification,entry the profit center field and run the same transaction, the dummy still posted by system.
How to solve this problem?
Kindly help me please.
regards

Hi Anu
After maintaining the PC in the mat master, create a new Prod order w/o copying from the Old Prod Order...
Once you maintain PC in A1B1 - It should update the Prod Order of A1B1 as well

Dummy profit center determined when performing MIGO (after MB21)

Dear experts,
I have the following problem in SAP release 4.7:
Step 1) Perform MB21 (ok, no problem)
Step 2) Perform goods issue (MIGO): Sometimes it determines profit center from the material correctly while sometimes it determines dummy profit center!
The correct one is the profit center of the material master but no dummy. The account has a check in Profit. Segment in OKB9 setting.I have checked that dummy profit center is determined because the characteristic "plant" is not copied to COPA for derivation. Is it a system bug? Can anyone help?
Thanks!

Hi,
Good morning and greetings,
Maintain a substitution rule in the system through GGB1 / OBBH to ensure that the right profit centre is determined during the transaction.
By maintaining the substitution the system will automatically determine.
Please reward points if found useful
Thanking you
With kindest regards

Deletion or deactivation of Dummy Profit center in ECC 6.0

Dear Experts,
How do I delete or deactivate dummy pofit center.
Regards,
David

HI,
Dummy Profit Center is a must with Classic Profit Center Accounting, so no question of deletion/de-activation of Dummy PC.
The dummy profit center is the default profit center to which data is posted when the corresponding object has not been assigned to a profit center. If you have PCA active and any of your posting results in not being able to derive Profit Center, then system posts to this default Profit center called 'Dummy Profit center'.

Automatic Posting accounts are posting to Dummy Profit center....

Hi experts....
We are configured New GL
Generally we are creating Customer Invoice (T. Code: VA02) and
Vendor Invoice (T Code. MIRO) for WBS Element only. While posting the
customer/Vendor Invoice System is not checking that CO Object (WBS
Element) in main line item (Sales/GRIR) as well as Automatic Account
assignment setting (T. code: OKB9). System is showing the Error. If
that G/L Account is not a cost element then system is posting to DUMMY
Profit Center in place profit center assign to that WBS Element
Requirement:
We need to post tax and Customer/Vendor line items in document
against WBS Element which should be picked up from Sales/GRIR Line Item
of the same document. If there is no CO Object (WBS Element/Cost
Center) in Sales/GRIR line item in document then based on Automatic
Account assignment configuration (Valuation Area is Mandatory) system
has to post to Cost Center/Profit Center
We are not maintained any derivation rule of PC & Edit Constants for Nonassigned Processes in New gl config. then also system posting to Dummy PC only.
We can delete that dummy?
or any configuration changes needs for it. plz give me ur valuable suggestions
Please Do needful
Thanks
Bhagiradha

Hi,
You have to maintain Dummy profit center, it is mandatorily for configuring profit center accounting . If u have not maintain Default profit center to that cost element, it will directly flow to Dummy Profit center. Better to maintain default profit center and u cannot delete the Dummy profit center.

Dummy profit center posting

We have postings coming up in dummy profit center each month,and we need to remove it, one fix could be to reverse those entries and repost it with assignment of a profit center, but I heard there is some tool available where you can just transfer the balance in one profit center to another, Is it available in Ecc6.0 also , I guess its for classic profit center accounting. Can you suggest me something pelase.how to remove those entries into another without reversing the entries in dummy.We are on ECC6.0 Thanks

Shaun

Please refer to the FAQ note 1070629.This says.
63. How can I deactivate classic Profit Center Accounting (EC-PCA) after activating the new general ledger?
Note 702854 explains how to deactivate classic Profit Center Accounting.
If you use document splitting for profit centers in ERP2004, delete the dummy profit center from the table TKA01 also. For this purpose, Note 702854 provides the program Z30PCA23. Use the program Z30PCA23 to delete the dummy profit center of classic Profit Center Accounting in the controlling area.
I am not sure if you would continue to need a dummy PC after migrating to ECC6, with classic PCA accounting de-activated.

Entries are going to dummy profit center in f-32

Hi All,
In F-32 when clearing the invoice with Residual items posting made to Dummy Profit center and fields Customer, Sales Org, Distr. Channel,
Division, Product and Plant are empty.
My requirement is to populate profit center , fields Customer, Sales Org, Distr. Channel,Division, Product and Plant from invoice document.
I could not find correct place to add custom code. I have tried some exit to add logic but still profit center is overwriting by dummy profit center.
Please help me to find BADI/BTE to add logic to update profit center.
Thanks,

Dummy Profit Center -- Customer Line item

Hello
I have a scenerrio on dummy profit center
1. On Augst 2006 -- A customer invoice has been posted using FB70 and some how the customer account line item when to dummy profit center and other line items were posted to a the correct profit center.
2. On August 2006 -- Due to this business reversed original customer invoice using FB08 which again has customer account line item when to dummy profit center and other line items were posted to the correct profit center.
Origianl Invoice: Customer XYZ Ltd - GL 130024 ( Customer Reconciliation Account)--- Dummy profit Center -- Dr. 235,000 USD
Reversal : Customer XYZ Ltd - GL 130024 (Customer Reconciliation Account) -- Dummy profit center -- Cr. 235,000 USD
This is want we want and this is want we see in our FI entries and all are with the same posting dates.
Now some how when you look at KE5Z (Profit Center line items report) for dummy profit centers even today.
1. You see the original customer invoice showing dummy profit center on the customer account line item as Dr. 235,000 on GL 130024.
2. You see the reversal customer invoice showing correct profit center on the other line items and you dont see customer account line item that is GL130024 on this document.
3. Because of which dummy profit center is showing Dr.balance.
PCA report:
Origianl Invoice: Customer XYZ Ltd - GL 130024 ( Customer Reconciliation Account)--- Dummy profit Center -- Dr. 235,000 USD
Reversal : Customer XYZ Ltd - No entry except the same document number with the other line items.
Could you please give us the thoughts except the PCA entry only as business dont have to have this entry. Business basically want to know the reason for not showing the customer line item on the reversal document which will knot out the dummy.
Will assign good points
Thanks
Kumar
