Different profit center in Billing document

Dear All,
We have created a Credit memo for a service order.
In the sales order, a profit has been maintained. But in the Invoice, it is determined different Profit Center in the profit center document.
What may be the reason for this.
Regards,
Mullairaja

- check profit center in MMR & compare with the one determined in Sales order ( it should be same)
- Check in the G/L account, some billing documents / Credit notes demand for CO objects. Profit center can be determined from the Cost center which is assigned to your G/L account
Check with FI consultants in Profit center derivation rules.

Wrong profit center in Billing document

Hi,
Currently I can't release my billing document to accounting because there is missing profit center setup in my controlling area. The profit center had been wrongly setup in the SO and there is no cancellation billing type so I can't cancel my billing and amend the SO and re-generate the billing. Is there any other way I can change to the correct profit center? Or I need to setup the wrong profit center in my CO and do adjustment to post to the correct profit center after the billing document had been released?
Best Rgds,
Li Ling

Hi,
I would suggest setting up the profit center in CO just so this billing can be released to accounting and make an adjustment to post to the right profit center. We had to do this sometime back.
Meanwhile, may I suggest to activate the cancellation billing types and frame a rule such that billing documents passed onto accounting cannot be cancelled. This would be the best option rather than not having the type at all.
Hope this helps,
Thanks,
Siva

Profit center in accounting document is differ with profit center in PO

Dear Expert,
I have created 2 PO. 1 PO is with material number, and the other PO is without material number. both PO have account assignment category H ( Cost Center - COGS)
I also have created 2 MIGO with reference to each of the PO. but when I checked the FI document in Material document I found that the profit center in accounting document is different with profit center in PO - this problem only occur for PO with material number. Profit center displayed in accounting document is refer to ZOKB9 (user exit)
Material ledger is active for this material number.
My question is what may cause the different profit center in accounting document and in PO?
How to solve it?
Thanks
Pauline

HI,
possible reasons are :
In GR document profit center pulled from PO Material :
If you have ordered with material code, must check profit center assigned into material by mm03/Plant Data2
If you have ordered without material code, than check cost center assigned Profit center by 1KE4

Post billing invoice with different profit center for specific cond. type

Hi Expert,
I have requirement where for each item in the sales order, when the user create the billing document, the accounting document generated need to use one specific profit center on specific condition type.
For example, my order profit center in the account assignment is PC1 (derived from material) and it has 2 condition type, Z1 and Z2.
Currently for this condition type will be posted to 2 different GL account. (Configured in account determination)
Going forward, the plan is to use same GL account for Z1 and Z2 but specific for Z2 should use different profit center (not taken from account assignment profit center).
Is this possible and if it is may I know the best way to achieve it?
Thank you before.

Hi
First of all check with the Controlling team wheather profit center can be assigned to the Z2 condition type only.If it is not possible then you assign a new subroutine to Z2 condition type with the help of ABAP team

Different Profit Center in GR and Invoice Document

Hi,
I have a query in the Purchase order cycle.
The Profit Center Accounting document has a different Profit Center in the Goods Receipt Document and Invoice Receipt Document. I found that in the case of GR it picks up the Profit Center from Material Master, whereas in the Invoice document it picks up from the Sales Order (MTO Scenario). Hence there is a mismatch.
Please advise on how i can have a same Profit Center. Where do i need to make necessary corrections.
Thanks in Advance,
Safi

Hi
in general sales order picks profit center from material master so same profit center is possible when doing GR /IR Plz chek it
thanks

Different Profit center

Hi Friends,
I have created a debit memo request and tried billing it. But the system fails to create accounting documents. I verified and found that the system is determining a different Profit center and copying the one in the material.
Could you tell me the areas in the config to check this.
Many Thanks

Substitution of a profit center at FI document posting

Dear experts,
I have created a cost center in which master data no profit center has been indicated. This because I have set up a substitution that, with a user exit check a custom table, retrieves the correct profit center to be used in the posting and populate it in the "Profit Center" field.
The problem is that the system is then changing the content of the field profit center with the dummy profit center (since no link between profit center and cost center is indicate ad cost center master data), which is not correct.
Do you know how can I overcome or avoid this automatic substitution that the system is making?
If I include a profit center in the cost center master data the system is anyway changing the one included in the document by the substitution with the one included in the cost center master.
Thanks in advance for the help.
Regards

Hi again,
actually OSS note 62417 and 102737 seem to indicate that the behaviour you observe is intended by SAP:
We must have done something to our system to change this behaviour and make substitution work. I will try to find out what this might be.
62417
Symptom
In accounting, posting is carried out to a dummy profit center, although the triggering billing document contains an explicit profit center.
The dummy profit center is set in a line item after a profit center has been explicitly entered first.
Additional key words
VF01, FB01, profit center, CO interface
Cause and prerequisites
In addition to the profit center, the line item contains further CO account assignment objects, for example, cost center, order or profitability segment. Among the account assignments entered in addition to the profit center there is an actual CO account assignment object, for example, an actual order. In this case, the system requires that you always post to the profit center of this order. If no profit center is assigned to the order, posting is done to the dummy profit center.
Under such circumstances, the system cannot post to the explicitly assigned profit center, since in the case of a later CO-internal allocation of the order to another order, the profit center assigned to the other order will always be credited. However, debit and credit must occur on the same profit center so that profit center accounting stays consistent.
Solution
The effect is authorized:
Under such circumstances, the system cannot post to the explicitly assigned profit center, since in the case of a later CO-internal allocation of the order to another order, the profit center assigned to the other order will always be credited. However, debit and credit must occur on the same profit center so that profit center accounting stays consistent.
OSS 102737:
Symptom
You want to reset the Profit Center in the document using a substitution (OKC9).Although the substitution is defined correctly, another profit center is written in the document afterwards.
Other terms
CO interface, profit center, G_VSR_SUBSTITUTION_CALL, KI339, KI 339
Reason and Prerequisites
In the line item, a posting is carried out to a controlling object which is assigned to a Profit Center.However, the substitution places another Profit Center into the line item.
Solution
The Profit Center of the line item and that of the controlling object posted to the line item must be identical.A substitution under these conditions is ineffective.

Profit Center for Billing Substitution

Hello,
I am currently using this substitution in 0KEM to populate the profit center for billing (PCTRF) in an inter-company sales order.
PrCtr Type = '2' AND Profit Center = '' AND (
Sales Org. = '5010' OR Sales Org. = '5020' )
It is working because the profit center for billing (driven by PrCtr Type = '2' ) field is originally blank and so I can substitute in a different profit center value.
My question is I would like to take this a step further and substitute different profit centers in the profit center for billing field (PCTRF) based on the value in the profit center field (PRCTR). Has anyone had any luck with this? I see that is is controlled using the PRCTR_TYPE 1 and 2 in the PCASUB area, but I am yet to figured out the right combination for it to work.
Appreciate any help.
Kevin

Kevin,
Refer to SAP Note 815972 - PCA substitution for cross-company-code sale.. It gives the details on how to fill the two fields "Profit Center" and "Profit Center for Billing within the substitution.
Thanks

Distribution of Profit Center with JV Documents.

The new GL Profit Center distribution cycle does not create JV Document. Requirement is to distribute Profit Center with JV Documents.
Need to distribute Revenue booked under different profit centers based on the percentage. The combination for distribution can be Co. Code, Posting Period, Fiscal Year, G/L Account and Profit Center. Want to post documents for each line item posted. While running Profit Center distribution cycle, cycle should take the same amount which was posted while generating Sales Invoice.
How this can be resolved.
Thanks
anya

Hi,
Instead of editing the cycles every now and then, better to have ratios by way of SKF. Pl elaborate the ratios, we can suggest how to capture it in SKF.
Trust this helps much!
Cheers!

How to update "profit center for billing"(VBAP-PCTRF) for sales order.

Now, we need to bring "profit center for billing" in sales order to correspondence with meterial master, while BAPI "BAPI_SALESORDER_CHANGE" contain not this field, is there any way to achieve except modify database table directly.
Thanks!

Hello,
Pay attention with BAPIs in SAP, they often use different names as input parameters as the actual fieldnames.
In your example you can use the BAPI BAPI_SALESORDER_CHANGE.
You have to check the parameter ORDER_ITEM_IN (table) with field PROFIT_CTR.
This will correspond with the field VBAP-PCTRF that you want to update.
You will also have to use the table ORDER_ITEM_INX of the BAPI and flag your field (PROFIT_CTR) with an 'X' in order to update it in the database.
Always use the RETURN (table) parameter from the BAPI to see what the result is of your update.
Success.

MIRO has a different Profit Center thatn MIGO

Hi Guys,
We have a PO , whose account assignment has a Sales Order and the Profit center is being picked from this Sales order while the MIGO document is posted.
However, when the system is posting the MIRO transaction, the system is picking up a different profit center. I can see a different Profit center in the line items in the MIRO document.
Why does the system pick a different profit center for MIRO ? Also, when i see the MIRO document, all the items are highlighted in yellow..What does that suggest?
Any ideas why there is a discrepancy in the Profit Center assignment in the MIGO and MIRO documents?
Thanks a lot.
Srikanth.

Hi
in OBBH, there is no substitution , but i could find one substitution in GGB1.
It says, if sales office = xxxx, then use this PC.
I have analysed that , in MIRO doc, the PC is correct as per the Sales order, but when FI document is posted, the PC is different.
Is it that the Substitution will be triggered when the FI doc is posted??
Any clues..
Thanks
Srikanth.

Two different profit center generated after material movement 201

Hi there:
Here is my issue:
After I did movement 201,then I went to mb03 to look at material document, then I click accounting document found that there are two different profit center appeared in two items, first line item is that credit inventory account 20208100, I don't know where does profit center come from in first item? Second item is that debit material consumption 60100000, cost center shows correct which is the one when I populated while doing movement 201, and profit center shows correct, since cost center belongs to it.

Hi Please see my reply as below:
This behaviour seems correct... I think your Profit center in Mat master is different than the Profit center of the cost center to which material was issued
Yes,because profit center in material master is blank in which plant to issue
Inventory account will always be credited with the PC assigned in Mat master
Considering the profit center of mat master is blank, so what default value does it be reflected to inventory account?
Consumption account (If it is created as Cost element) will always be debited with PC of the Cost Center to which material is issued
It was not created as cost element, based on your theory, it will be debited with PC of the material master, but PC of material master of specify plant is blank, so what default value does it be reflected to inventory consumption account?
Consumption account (If it is not created as Cost element) will always be debited with PC of the Material master
Thanks

Wrong Profit Center on Material document (Goods Receipt PO for Asset)

Dear SAP Expert,
When our company upgrade our SAP version from 4.6C to ECC6, all Profit Center on Material document (Goods Receipt on Purchase Order for Asset) is filled by profit center DUMMY.
This condition not happend in our previous version (4.6C). Is there any new configuration on ECC6 for Asset Accounting?
Many Thanks
Maickel P

Hi, Maickel:
There is a setting for Dummy Profit Center, you can check in SPRO: Controlling->Profit Center Accounting->Master Data->Create Dummy Profit Center.
And you can refer to the help of this IMG activity:
Create Dummy Profit Center
This function lets you create the dummy profit center for the current controlling area.
The dummy profit center is updated in data transfers whenever the object to which the data was originally posted (cost center, order, and so on) is not assigned to a profit center. This ensures that the data in Profit Center Accounting is complete. You can later send the data on the dummy profit center to the other profit centers using assessment or distribution.
You create the master record for the dummy profit center using this special transaction. To change or display it, use the normal profit center maintenance functions.
The name of the dummy profit center is displayed in the controlling area settings for Profit Center Accounting.
Prerequisites
The standard hierarchy must exist for the current controlling area.
Actions
Enter the name of the dummy profit center. The rest of the steps are the same as when you create a normal profit center.
Choose the function Extras -> Set controlling area first to make sure that the correct controlling area is set.
Notes on transporting
You can transport the Customizing settings for Profit Center Accounting under Transport Connection.

How to update profit center in posted document without profit center ?

HI,
I want to know,
How to update profit center in posted document without profit center ?
So that i can get my profit center accouting report proper.
Thanks
Nilesh

There is a long story about profit center accounting. I assume you are using Classic PCA, this means you can see the PCA documents. And the solutions is below:
For P/L account, even you don't maintain cost element for it, if you maintain the profit center in the application (Frontend transaction), then PCA line items will be generated for this account.
For B/S account, if you maintain the default Profit Center with transaction 3KEH/3KEI, the PCA line items will generated for this account also.
Hints, don't maintain default profit center for AR/AP accounts, these accounts to be treated in periodic processing.
First, calculate the distribution/adjust by F.5D, then transfer it by 1KEK. for others account rather than AR/AP, use F.5E
For you case, if this account is P/L account, but you don't maintain profit center in the transaction, you can maintain default profit center as B/S account in 3KEH and 3KEI, then transfer it subsequently by transaction 1KE8.
Good Lucky!
