EDI Vendor posting (INVOIC01) to account assign Profitability segment

Hello Experts,
Have anyone used INVOIC01 (EDI vendor) Idoc type to post to a Profitability segment in a InterCompany sales scenario? If yes, could someone guide me how to achieve this? I see that OBCC transaction has Profitability segment field, but I am not sure how to use it.
Any ideas?
Thanks for your time.

Thanks Waman for the SAP notes.
In fact, I have looked at those notes, already. We cannot change to INVOIC02 Idoc type.
I wonder, why SAP does not offer the functionality to update Profitability segment on the EDI Vendor posting. Transaction OBCC has Profitability segment, but giving a fixed PSEG will not meet any business requirement! EDI enhancement FEDI0001 has only EDI-FIELDS and not the IDoc segment details. There is nothing much one can do with just the EDI-FIELDS.
Have you used FEDI0001 enhancement for PSEG determination? Looks like all that one can do with FEDI0001 is move the OBCC configuration values to Coding block.
Thanks for your time.

Assign Profitability segment for Depreciation Run

Dear all,
I want to assign profitability segment for depreciation a/c,Where can i do this?please give me advise .
Thanks&Regards
Kumar

Hi Kumar,
Profitability segments are used to analyze contribution margins earned out of customer/customer segments. Here COGS is deducted from revenue to get the margin.
If you want depreciation to be picked up in profitability segment..It has to be picked up through COGS. To do this the depreciation has to be first posted to the cost center involved..which I think you must already have because of cost center assignment to assets. Later from the cost center you got to move the depreciation to production orders through activity or OH allocation, so that the asset depreciation gets picked up in COGS. After this COGS takes care of flow to COPA
Hope this helps

Why we should assign Profitability Segment Number in sales Order

Dear Gurus,
Can any one tell me why we should assign profitability Segment Number in Sales Order?

Hi,
If CO-PA is active settlement transfer the costs and revenue of the sales order item to profitability segment in CO-PA, if not active it gets transferred to G/L account in FI.
Regarding functionality of Profitability segment - Need to specify Characteristics in CO-PA for profitability segments and these characteristics are used for Information system and planning. Charcteristics which are not involved in profitablity segment remains in the line item of CO-PA. In essence charcteristics decides on profitablity segments.
Regarding removal of Profitablity segment no in Sales order .Kindly refer back to the earlier threads.
Thanks & Regards

Automatic (EDI) vendor posting fails - can I update the IDOC mapping?

Hi -- I am testing a new intercompany sales process and having trouble with returns. The INVOIC01 IDOC for the vendor posting (document type VC - Vendor Credit FI) is failing because text is required on the line item (field SGTXT on BSEG). So it appears that the IDOC doesn't have this text field mapped.
If I can identify a field in the existing IDOC to use for the text, is there a way that I can add that mapping? For example, let's say I want to populate the BSEG text with field BELNR on segment E1EDP01, is there a way to specify in the INVOIC01 idoc that this field should be plugged into BSEG-SGTXT? I don't have EDI experience, so this is all new to me!
Thanks
Allison

Hi Allison,
Since it's just for testing, just change the Text field on FI field status group become optional entry. It will solve your problem rather than modifying the standard IDOC

Error message when trying to post GR for account assignment category A

Hello gurus,
when I create a PO item with account assignment category A, PO creation works fine. But when I try to post the GR for that item, I get an error message similar to
"Account determination for entry <our chart of accounts> ANL <our company code> not possible".
Any idea what the problem might be?
I have had similar error messages in the past, when the automatic postings where not configured completely. So "ANL" should be some transaction like BSX or something. But I cannot find a transaction ANL.
Thanks in advance

Thanks for your help, everything seems to be ok as described.
This seems to be a SAP error, see SAP note 1249431.

Using RFBIBL01 for assignment Profitability Segment

Hi, All.
Please, tell me, how I can send data like Profit Center, Material, Material Group and others, to Profitability Segment. I use RFBIBL01 for it. My programm change external file in format of RFBIBL01 and then submit rfbibl01. But here are any problems:
1. When checkbox "Calculate tax" is on ('X') - screen with Profitability Segment doesn`t close (no ok-code).
2. I don`t know, how to give values to Profit Segment. I supoused that I nedd to use BBSEG-RKE_*, but it doesn`t help...
Thanks.

Hello,
You must pass BBSEG-RKE_BUKRS = bukrs, otherwise your profitability data will not considered by the porgram.
Pass all other data as required in the BBSEG-RKE*.

Quantity not updated in EDI Vendor posting

Hi experts,
We've observed that Quantity (MENGE) is not getting updated on the FI document (Segment 'E1EDP01'). Idoc type 'INVOIC01' and message we using is 'INVOIC01'.
Any idea or has anyone come across this issue?
Thanks for your time.

Hi,
Segment E1EDP01, quantity and unit of measure the quantity and the unit of measure are transferred if the corresponding fields in the billing document are filled. If the corresponding fields in the billing document are filled, but MENGE is still not updated into FI document, Maybe you have used the user exit EXIT_SAPLVEDF_002 on SD side to suppress the values.

Error while creating a PO with Account assignment

HI MM Gurus
In our case, we need to create the STO for account assignment cat `Unknown`.
In SPRO I maintained combination of account assign cat and item cat.
Now, while creating a PO with Account assign U we get Error message - ME069 :Unknown account assignment not defined for use here.
Please advise how to resolve this issue.

Hi
When you are posting actuals, you need to give true account assignment object. With U (unknown), system cannot identify which account to be posted. Change account assignment in PO to another.
In standard SAP Unknown account assignment is not allowed in PO's. Only exception is Blanket PO.
Unknown is allowed only in PR and Blanket PO.
The reason is logically you are releasing the PO to the external vendor or Plant in this case you must know the account assignment.

Re: "Item category K can only be used without account assignment"

Hi,
while creating PO from PR the following error is coming.
"Item category K can only be used without account assignment"
How to solve this
Regards,

Hello,
Item category K cannot be used with an account assignment as the goods are not physically used in the company. The stock is stilla consignment stock and belongs to vendor. Using an account assignment will book the cost in the company's expenses.
use an account assignment if required when you transfer from consignment to own stock.
Hope this helps,

Account assignment G/L Account Reg

Dear Sap gurus
Whenever i am creating Purchase Order with accunt assignment(K) without material number , system is selecting one G/L account automatically,I know the G/L account selection with material number but i don't know the G/L acount selection without material master.
Can anybody explain selection of G/L acount automatically without a mterial master.
Thanks

Hi
Selection of GL account is through consumption posting specified in account assignment category configuration and material group - valuation class link.
Check in OMQW - valuation class assigned to material group in use.
Check account assignment category K attributes in IMG - MM - Purchasing - account assignment category - define account assignment cateogies - K - consumption posting (say VBR).
Now check for valuation class - GL account assigned in OBYC - GBB -VBR, it will be defaulted when you use K and material group combination in PO.
However you can overwrite this GL account whenever you require.
Thanks

Account Assignment category -F

Dear Friends,
what is the actual function of account assignment category -F (Order)
I am purchasing Asset and inserting Account assignment cat- F (actualy this is wrong ,but clenit is saying that earlier MM consultant has suggested this, so i need to give justification , how it is wrong . or if it is right then i have to solve following error)
error- still contain fauly account assignment .
please suggest me solution.
Regards,
Mahesh.

Hi,
The account assignment category determines:
The nature of the account assignment (Asset, order, and so on) . Which accounts are to be charged when the incoming invoice or goods receipt is posted . Which account assignment data you must provide.
Fir order (F) Required account assignment data is Order and G/L account number and for asset Main asset number and sub-number. Hence if you select F, the accounts pertaining to order will trigger. This is relateed to production. If asset selected, the accounts for asset will trigger. Another thing is account modification key will be blank in asset whereas in order account modification key will be there. I hope this will give you clarity. Thanking you.

Procurment of Raw Materials against MTO with account assignment category "E

Dear Champions,
Looking for your guindance in the following matter:-
While creating PO with account assignment category E for MTO senario , its asking for consumption account.
Is it possible that during PO creation it should not ask for GL account , and while doingGR ....the goods should be inventories both on quantity and value basis updates and acts as a special stock against sales Order.
What setting are necessary ? Please advise
Thanks In Advance
Ashwin

Hi,
In a purchase order item you mension account assignment category means that it is for consumption.The stock and value are directly posted to the account assignment you mentionedat the time GR.
And when you are assigning a account assignment catagory you need to mension which account(GL account) of the account assignment.We canot avoid assigning a GL account and maintain the material in stock and value using account assignment category.

Account Assignment - Qty and Value Update

Hi,
I need to have value and qty update for a a/c assignment po's.. ie in po i'm using a/c assignment as A, and in gr i need to have qty and value update . how to do?? is it possible? i knew that that a/c assingment won't generate qty update for a/c assignment catergores... is any way to create qty update for a/c assignmnt cateroires (K-cost center,A-Asset)

Hi,
when you are creating a PO with account assignments menas , the costs of this product need to get posted to the account assignment , and the material is being procured for consumption ( not for stock) to this account assignment.
But however , qty and value updates depends upon the material type of the material.When you use a stocked material type material is used for the PO, change the account assignment definition as said in above posting.
Chek the material type of the material you used for the PO to your error message.
