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

Hi

  • 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

  • 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.

  • New GL and Profit center settings

    hi,
    i've already tried to find out this on other thread, but with no reply -
    so i am asking again -
    does anyone know the correct connection/explanation for the issue below?
    "2) Profit Center Integration - With the new GL, Profit Center Accounting is an integrated element of the reporting ledgers. No need for a fully independent PCA implementation."
    if a customer is not implementing PCA and indicator in CO Area (OKKP) is not set for PCs, the system still validates PCA because it seems that a year entries with PCA connections in CO area are created by default - entries in table V_TKA00_PC; and "ignoring" Profit center inactive indicator settings within the CO area
    ie. cost centers need assignment to PC .. and revenue postings are done to cc as statistical not actual ...
    this is happening in sap ecc 5.0 and I would like to verify is this a rule or there is a bug?
    thanks in advance
    d.

    hi Kyle,
    thanks for the effort, but it wasn't the thing i asked for ...
    what i would like to find out is:
    if CO area settings are set w/o profit centers, why the system still demands profit center assignment with cost center master data (ie.)
    well, i can always turn off the message, but this isn't the solution i want to use ...
    i will rather open one PC (along with dummy, of course) even though those are not used for the customer ... although, this will not solve statistical posting to cc with cost element category 11 ...

  • 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.

  • NEW GL and PROFIT CENTER REPORT

    Hi,
    In New GL ( ECC6) the profit center is also available in GL itself. Under this situatrion Profit center data is flowing to Controlling.
    Previousl we take Profit center report from 8 series Library and use it for report painter.
    Now what is the library to be used for report painter for generating Profit center reports with drill down functionality like Cost center report from COntolling module.
    Is it necessary that we have configure in CO module lo to get the Profit center so that we can generate the Profit center report more user friendly reports.
    What is the route to be followed to enable the users to check ther B/S on Profit center.
    Appreciate your early response please

  • Profit center accounting   activation for  3KEH  to  work

    Hi
    I  have   document splitting  activated, where I  have  sent  the constant  as  PC -  Dummy.
    Now in  3KEH - GL acct    interval    for  PC ,  I  have  defined  B/s account   and also  defined  different PC  for the same.
    But  when  I   have  transaction   using the  GL  in  3KEH,  it  takes   the    DUMMY  PC  and  not  the one  defined in  3KEH.
    So  I    unticked  the  standard  assignment in  Document spliting  and  in  which  case  , there is  NO  profit center  picked.
    Pl  advise  whether   I  have to  activate  PC Accounting in  controlling, so  that   3KEH  works.
    Thanks
    kamala

    HI
    Even  though  I  activate  PCA,  the  system   uses the setting defined in   'activate  docu splitting'  ie  the  constant.
    There  must be   some logic   on  when  the     assignment  of  GL  acct    to  PC based on derivation rule    in  3KEH  will   apply.  Does it  apply only to  FI  transactions,  or   even to  the  FI  docu  generated  from  other  modules.    From  the testing in F-02 or  FB60,   I  do not see    the  3KEH  setting  being  used.   System   reads   the   one in   'activate docu splitting'.
    Thanks   for  any  input on the above.

  • New GL - Profit Center Accounting.

    Hello,
    My Client have implementaed New GL and Profit Center Accounting Scenario is activated. Document Splitting also activated and PC is made a zero balance and mendatory field.
    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.

    Hi,
    Check in 3KEH or FAGL3KEH, if some P.Cntr assignment is maintained..
    Also let us know, whether 900000 is a Dummy profit center?

  • Business Area and Profit Center In Document Splitting

    Hi,
    We are using Business area and Profit Center characteristics for document splitting.
    In one transaction, the Business area and profit centers are defaulted through the cost center.
    The document is successfully split in respect of the business area, but the profit center is not filled, thereby giving error while posting.
    Please suggest.

    Hi,
    Actually, we have all three scenarios, profit center, segment and business area..
    As suggested, we have checked all field status relevant.. profit center is optional in all cases..
    Now, Pls consider the scenario without business area in document splitting characteristics..
    If I post an expense, profit center is picked thru cost center and segment thru profit ctr. The vendor or bank line item inherits the characteristic values from the previous line item.
    Now, in addition we have business areas in doc splitting characteristics.
    Business area, again is populated thru cost centers, along with profit ctr and segment.
    The business area gets correctly populated in the vendor line item.. but the profit center doesnt.
    Please let us know the reason..

  • 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

    Hi All,
    In VL03N how can i see Material doc, Accounting doc, and Profit Center doc.
    thanks in advance,
    kumar.

    yes he meant the exact same thing which you have understood my friend, you can have any sales document number with you f& rom that you can trace all the documents relavant to that, say you have inquiry which lead to quotation then to order, delivery, invoice & finally the accounting document so by simply entering VA13 you will get the inquiry display screen where you enter your inquiry number & click on the document flow, you will get all the details which i just mentioned, double click on the particular document number which you want to see in details
