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.

  • Dummy profit center when using plant abroad functionality

    Dear all,
    We are customizing plant abroad functionality for one customer. I have done that before for other customers but all other customers do have profit center on material master data and therefore no dummy profit center posting in the plant abroad flow.
    My new customer do not have any profit center on material master data and are normally using profit center substitutions to get correct profit center on the postings. In the plant abroad flow we will have the same amount posted both as a credit and a debet to the same account (we have chosen account 309999) so the total will be 0, but we do not want to have postings on dummy profit center.
    I tested to create a substituion in financial accounting in transaction GGB1 and on line item level, with prerequisite saying: When account number is 309999, profit center should be 11010. But I still get posting on dumy profit center?
    Anyone that can help me?
    Thank you very much in advance!

    Hi
    Use Exit PCA0001 - EXIT_SAPLPCRW_002 (SMOD) for substituting PC on any line item

    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,

  • 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

    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.

  • Relation Between Dummy Profit Center and Posting Keys.

    Hello Gurus,
    It will be a valuable feed back for below mentioned Scenario.
    One of our client is on SAP Version 4.7 and New GL is not activated. In COCD one Customer Invoice entry is booked as below.
    PK     Account           Amount      Profit Center
    01     SURXXX1            100.00         ABCD
    50     REVENUE A/c      50.00         ABCD
    50     ENT TAX               20.00         ABCD
    50     SERVICE TAX       30.00         ABCD
    After running t codes 1KEK, F.5D, and KE5T for customer line item system picks same profit center as mentioned in other line items i.e ABCD.
    But when we reverse the above document system picks DUMMY Profit center instead of ABCD. 
    PK     Account           Amount      Profit Center
    12     SURXXX1            100.00         DUMMY
    40     REVENUE A/c      50.00         ABCD
    40     ENT TAX               20.00         ABCD
    40     SERVICE TAX       30.00         ABCD
    Basically we have checked field status variant for Posting Key 01 and 12 in which Profit Center field is Required and field status for profit center for reconciliation account is also required. This is unusual behavior which we are facing right now.

    Profit Center :
    A profit center is a management-oriented organizational unit used for internal controlling purposes. Dividing your company up into profit centers allows you to analyze areas of responsibility and to delegate responsibility to decentralized units, thus treating them as "companies within the company". EC-PCA lets you set up your profit centers according to product (product lines, divisions), geographical areas (regions, offices or production sites) or function (production, sales).
    Profit Center Accounting (PCA) allows you to calculate internal measurements of profitability. This internal view of profitability, then, reflects the success of a given profit center at meeting the profitability goal for which it was given responsibility.
    Cost Center :
    The cost center is an organizational unit in a controlling area. Cost centers can be defined according to several different design approaches. A typical approach could be for an enterprise to define a cost center for each low-level organizational unit that has responsibility for managing costs. As costs are incurred, they are assigned or posted to the appropriate cost center. These costs could include payroll costs, rent and utility costs, or any other costs assignable to a given cost center.
    Each cost center is assigned to a category, e.g. Administration cost center, production cost center, etc. Each cost center master record has a field for the name of the person responsible for the cost center.
    For detailed information go thru the below article

    Hope this helps.

  • 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

    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

  • Is it possible to post docs to Dummy profit center

    Hi friends,
    Is it possible to post FI docs to dummy profit center.
    Posting for customer document.
    Customer Dr
    Bank Account Cr.
    system is not allowing to post document with dummy profit center.
    If I post document without any proft center, It is giving Balancing field error, no profit center could be determined.
    Regards,
    Suresh

    Hi
    In your posting, there are no profit centre assignment to both accounts.  For customer, you cannot assign a profit centre.  But for Bank account, you can assign a default profit centre.  In new GL, you can assign a profit centre to your GL account per company code:
    F.A new ->GL a/c new -> Master data -> Profit centre -> Assign default profit centre to accounts

    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.

    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)

  • 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

  • Prevent documets getting posted to DUMMY profit center for

    Hi All,
    During posting of accounting documents (for eg: In T-code F-02), we need to prevent documents getting posted to dummy profit-centers when I post documents with cost-centers which are un-assigned to any profit center (T-Code KS02). Instead we need to bring in to the profit-center posted by the user. We have PCA activated.
    We have tried to achieve with a substitution along with an user-exit (T-code: GGB1). But the user-exit is getting invoked only after the assignment of Dummy profit-center and is overwriting my profit center. Is this approach right? FYI, the substitution is done at the Financial Accounting/ Line-item level.
    Kindly enlighten me with your solutions.
    Thanks and Regards,
    Gnanasambanthan.V

    At my company, we have profit center as a required field on the cost center master - so when posting to a cost center, there is always a profit center.
    However, if requiring a profit center on the cost center master is not an option in your case, then I'm wondering if it would work to set up a validation to check that the profit center on a posting is not the dummy.

    Shannon

  • Entries posting to dummy profit center

    Hi
    while doing MR21 entries is going to dummy profit center in revaluation gain or loss GL A/C instead of respective profit center of material.
    For this weather we need to check / new configuration or new configuration required.
    Please help.
    Thanks

    Dear Amita,
    MR21 is only posted on company code level. To derive the profit center from the material master it would be necessary to know the plant but the plant is not available during MR21 posting. The system cannot break down the profit center information knowing only the company code. In that case this is the reason why the dummy profit center is used for price difference postings.
    But you can try to use the FI substitution to change the profit center. Based on the information you can create an exit to determine the profit center from the material master.
    Another option is the user exit in PCA (Exit_SAPLPCRW_001
    - please read the documentation about this function module in the
    system). Using this exit it will be possible to make changes in the
    PCA postings. This will only change the PCA document and the postings made in FI will not be affected by this exit.
    Cheers,
    Daniela

  • 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
