Dummy profit cenetr ONLY in excise accounts

Hi Gurus,
We are following double entries for excise postings.At the time of VF01 we are posting revenues of excise and at the time of the excise invoice we r creating liabilty and booking an expencess for these excise accounts.
The profit centers to ONLY excise accounts is going wrongly as dummy profit center.But for rest of the P&L accounts right profit center is been picked up.
Kindly suggest me any alternatives.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Abhi.

Dear,
Can you be more specific?
Which version are you working on? Do you have document splitting?

Anyway we use double entry accounting principle only. So what are you talking about?
What you are doing - you are posting to Excise received (P&L) account at the time of VF01 & post to Excise payable at the time of excise invoice. This is correct & normal procedure.
But what is this booking as expenses for excise accounts?
Regarding Dummy profit center - pl tell about the version.
Thanks & regards,

Dummy Profit Center in Balance Sheet Account

Hi Profit Center Guru,
I have a lot dummy profit center posting from B/S accnts from the below kind of type:
1) Bank Account
2) Inventory Account
3) WIP Account
4) customer/vendor reconciliation account
5) Tax account
6) Accrual Income account
7) Other Manual B/S GL Posting
Could you advice? whether those dummy posting from B/S must be eleminated? and normally how to eleminate the dummy profit center posting?
Thanks a lot for your comments/opinion.

Kick

Hi,
If you want to avoid any posting to dummy profit center maintained in 3KEH, you must ensure that you have properly defined rule to derive profit center. You will have to explore the following different ways of deriving correct profit center so that system does not take dummy for posting:
1. For Inventory accounts, maintain prfoit center in material master. Make it a compulsory field in material master.
2. Make profit center as compulsory entry in FI postings through changes in field status groups.
3. Derive profit center based on cost center, cost center to be made as compulsory field in FI entries in such cases.
4. Use Derivation and substitution rules to derive profit center.
5. Use Business Area for deriving profit center.
6. For posting through MM and FI, SAP has provided Badi AC_Document, in ECC 5.0 onwards. This can be used to derive profit center.
Depending upon your settings in the system., you can choose appropriate option suitable to you, to derive profit center.
Thanks and regards,
Sanjay

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

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

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 and profit center clearing account being used

Dear Gurus,
We are implementing ECC 6.0 and will have FI PCA.
I have 2 profit centers.(and one dummy profit center 9999)
1)RM common
2) FG1
When RM is issued to production order and order is confirmed, the goods movement are 261 and 101 respectively.
the entry at the time of confirmation is
Discription                          Profit center
Consumption of RM             9999
To RM inventory                RMCommon
FG Inventory dr                  FG1
To Factory output account 9999
What should actually happen is instead of 9999 consumption of RM should hit profit center RM common and instead of 9999 the factory output account should hit FG1.
The profit center clearing account is being used for the entry in the GL view (as opposed to entry view in accounting)
Only then will accounting treatment be correct.
I have checked field statuses of the respective accounts and they have profit center and segment as optional fields.
Can you suggest what may be wrong and where i need to change the splitting config.
Regards,

Hi
Profit Center is derived from the assignment of Profit center in material master in costing view.
In the production scenario,
Consumption of raw material Dr - PC of FG
Cr Stock of RM - PC RM
Dr Stock of FG - PC FG
Cr confirmation of production of the Finished goods - PC FG
The reason for that is the production order is created with respect to the Finished Goods, master data of the production order inherits from the Finished goods.

Suraj

Entries hitting only to the dummy profit center

Hi All,
While doing the PCA configuration I have created the 3 profit centers & 1 dummy profit center and the same is assigned in controlling area settings also but the problem is while posting the entries in any one of these 3 profit centers by default system is picking dummy profit center ABCD by giving message "Profit center was set to ABCD" which is a dummy profit center.
I have assigned the related profit center in cost center master data also.
Looking for the solution.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Ravi,
Thanks for your reply.
In 3KEH,I have assigned the account from 1000000 to 2500200 with default profit center Hyderabad but by default the entries are hitting to dummy profit center ABCD.
In OKB9, i have assigned Gl 4200030 which is a revenue gl in co code and account assignment detail 3 (Profit center is mandatory).
Still the entries are hitting to the dummy profit center.
Thanks

Dummy Profit Center in New GL

Hi,
we activated New GL with Segment Balancing. The P&L accounts will get the profit Center from the cost objects. We have defined a default segment in the constant for unassigned process, and we only have zero balancing at the segment, and not the profit center. This is a business requirement.
However, I am not sure how to cover the scenario where there might be no profit center in the cost center master or the material master or any other scenarios. I have tried configuring the default profit center in FAGL3KEH. but when I tested, the document splitting is not working correctly. SAP recommends not using default profit center if document splitting is activated.
I wanted to see if dummy PCTR is an option. I have read in the SAP library, but they do not explain clearly about the dummy PCTR. It says activating dummy PCTR is optional, but do not give a good alternative option. They say we can activate balancing by PCTR, but that is not our requirement. Also, if we assign a default PCTR in the non assigned process, it will apply for the balance sheet accounts as well, which we do not want.
I am not sure what are the other options. Please suggest if there are any other options. Also SAP does not mention if we activate dummy profit center from the New GL side (not through the classic PCA menu path), does it still activate the Classic PCA tables?
Please let me know.
Thanks

Hi,
As I have already explained, both the default profit center and configuring the default profit center for non assigned processes does not work for us.
The default profit center conflicts with document splitting. SAP recommends not to use default PCTR if we do document splitting.
As far as the constant for non assigned processes goes, we have assigned a default segment here (not a default PCTR), since we are doing only segment balancing (reporting by segment), and also the business wants to be able to pick only the segment for any b/s adjustment postings.
Also, my earlier question has not been answered. Does activating the dummy profit center from GL side still activate the Classic PCA ledger 8A?
Thanks

Taking Dummy profit center at time of cancelation of billing

HI Gurus,
we have maintained one exchange rate differece GL a/c at the time of billing accounting document.for this Gl account we have maintained one default cost center in OKB9 in which we have assigned profit center also.
Here at the time of billing accounting doc we are getting cost center as well as profit center what we have maintained. where as in cancelation of billing document it's picking up the dummy profit center instand of profit center maintained in billing.
But we are getting correct cost center at the time of cancelation also only profit center is differing..
Could you please any one suggest on this..Thanks in advance..
Regards,
Srini

In OKB9 Did you tried using value 3 in account assignment which makes profit cemter as mandatory?
In your scenario chek the values in 3KEH assignment if it is 4.7 or earlier or FAGL3KEH if it is >5.0.
If you want to default a constant profit center for Bank charges/Exchange losses you can define here.

Transaction code: 9KE0 - Posting with Dummy profit center

Hi All,
We have an issue with transation 9KE0, While posting any adjustment entries with single line item, system automaticaly creating second line item few times. We were unable to find the reason why it is creating second line for few documents?
Our requirement is that those entries should have only one line item in transaction 9KE0. Most of the cases we were able to post the document with single line item.
We are using almost 100 co.codes for our client.
For ex: if we post one entry in co.code 1000 through transaction 9KE0 with single item, system posting with one lineitem.
But some times for the same co.code with same parameters if we post one line item, second line item automatically creating with dummy profit center while posting.
Please let us know why the system is creating two line items.
Awaiting for your replies.
Thanks in Advance
Prasad

Hi,
We have further analyzed this issue and found that, whenever the amount in field(KSL -Amount in profit center local currency) is ZERO, System it is creating second line item with dummy profit center.
ex:1
proft cenert        account         amount in co.code cur    amount in profit center local currency
9999                    100000             - 0.13                                 00
dummy                 100010               0.13                                 00
ex:2
proft cenert        account         amount in co.code cur    amount in profit center local currency
9999                    100000             - 3.13                                 1
we have verified the values in GLPCA table also... whenever the tech field KSL-Amount in profit center local currency is zero system creating two line items.
Please suggest us is there a solution to stop the second line item even the amount in profit center local currency field (Tech name -KSL) is Zero
Awaiting for your suggestions.
Thanks in advance

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?
I don't clear about dummy cost center and profit center
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!

COPA derivation - dummy profit center

Hey All
While creating a sales order the system is deriving the dummy profit center for materials assigned to only couple of Profit centers. The material master has right profit center with active status and correct validity dates. I checked the derivation rule in ke4st where a function call line is yellow. this line is realted to checking if profit center accounting is active. Can anyone suggest me why is this happening with only for two of these profit centers

SAP provided multiple derivation rules for profit center, the first one is to 'Check whether Profit Center Accounting is active' and if so DUMMY profit center is filled. You should also see follwoing derivation rules to check profit center.
Table lookup            Profit center from product/plant
Table lookup            Profit center from CO order number
Table lookup            Profit center from WBS element
Please check the derivation rule 'Profit center from product/plant' and check the Target fields section and see if derivation failed.

Ganesh

1KEK posting the reversal documents to dummy profit centre.

Hi expertise,
First let me explain the scenario.
Through FB60, I posted a document as per the below:
Doc date : 23.07.2007, Period: 8, Posting date : 17.08.2007, Doc type : KR.
PK    Account            Profit Centre       Amount
31    14898 - Vendor                            164.20-
40    46200 - Exp        285620              149.27
40    84100 - GST       285620               14.93
I run the 1KEK transaction for period 8 after running F.5D and it posted the vendor balance payable 164.20 to profit centre 285620 correctly.
Then I reversed the above posted entry on 30.08.2007 , period 9 through FB08 with reversal reason 02. The accounting entry are as follows:
PK    Account            Profit Centre       Amount
22    14898 - Vendor                            164.20
50    46200 - Exp        285620              149.27-
50    84100 - GST       285620                14.93-
When I run the 1KEK again for period 9 after running F.5D, the system posted the the vendor balance 164.20 ( debit balance ) to Dummy Profit Centre.
Now my question is why the system posted the vendor balance to dummy profit centre but to the real profit centre 285620.
Waiting for fast solution. Points will be awarded.

BABA

Hi
It seems that New GL is active in your system. Hence the system is populating the DUMMY Profit center. If you have sepearate excise accounts for every plant and every profit center is also a plant, you can define a default profit center to excise accounts for every plant through 3KEH. If the GL account is same for all plants, you can create a suitable Substitution Rule. The T code for the same is GGB1 and assign this to your company code through OBBH.

Goods Receipt entry going to dummy profit centre

hello experts,
Goods Receipt entry is going to dummy profit centre, dont know how and why ?
I have checked the PO, Material Master, WBS etc. where the desired profit centres are mentioned.
We have a relation ship of plant=profit centre = business area in our structure.
Goods Receipt entry should go desired profit centres only AND NOT TO DUMMY PROFIT CENT..
Pl advise.
Thnks
Pravin / Vinod

Hope you have checked substituion at OKC9.
Make sure that the account assignment is WBS element only in PO. If not then, please chek whether profit center is assigned to that cost object.
Easily you can monitor profit center assignments at 1KE4.
Regards,
Ravi
