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

  • Updating the dummy Profit Center

    Hi Experts
    I  am using the PCA with new GL  , here I have created the dummy profit center  also
    My query is some of the business transaction  are updated in the dummy profit center
    What could be the reason for updating the dummy profit center suppose if I am not give any profit center
    Those entries are getting updating  ?
    In this new Gl concept how to transfer the balance to exact Profit center ?
    Thanks
    Sri

    Hi Venkat
    You should not have activated Classical PCA if you are using New GL.. New GL PCA is a much better functionality
    Anyways, the reason for DUmmy PC is only that you did not assign the PC in the CO Object like Cost Center.. PC is always derived from Cost object. So, if the CO Object has no PC, the line item gets Dummy PC
    There is a SAP note 702854 which offers steps to deactivate Classical PCA.. If you wish you can do that.. There is no harm as such in having Classical PCA, but New GL Is better

  • 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 issue while posting the transaction in FB60

    Dear SAP friends,
    We have implemented ECC6.0 version,
    I have the below issue:
    I am posting the document in FB60 transaction: after simulating the document system is throwing the error "Profit center 9937/FIREPRODMY does not exist for 14.08.2009"
    Message no. KM700
    Document spilitting active at Business area level..
    In 0KE5( maintain controlling area settings) I have not given the Dummy profit center.
    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.
    I have not maintained any settings in FAGL3KEH, 3KEH and OKB9.
    No sunstitutions are active in the system.
    Please let me know from where i need to remove the dummy profit center.
    My client going live on 17th Aug 2009.
    Regards,
    Anand

    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)

  • Entries are going to dummy  profit center in f-32

    Hi All,
    In F-32 when clearing the invoice with Residual items   posting made to Dummy Profit center and fields Customer, Sales Org, Distr. Channel,
    Division, Product and Plant are empty.
    My requirement is to populate profit center , fields Customer, Sales Org, Distr. Channel,Division, Product and Plant  from invoice document.
    I could not find correct place to add custom code. I have tried some exit to add logic but still profit center is overwriting by dummy profit center.
    Please help me to find BADI/BTE to add logic to update profit center.
    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.

  • Dummy profit center error

    Hello All,
    I have this issue. there are 2 dummy default profit centers accumulating amounts over several different accounts (profit center 1 and 2). when i looked into the system only one profit center 1 is marked as Dummy profit center. when i run T.code 2kee, it shows the values in accounts at the 2 dummy profit centers. i want the correct profit center and the costs should be assigned to profit center 3.
    I looked into into the 3keh, and it seems like the gl account are mapped to the dummy profit center 1.
    but when i look at the "assign default profit centers to accounts" the same Gl accounts are mapped to the correct profit center 3...i dont know why its taking profit center 1 rather than profit center 3.
    any suggestions?
    thanks

    You need to get to the root cause. Which tcode is being processed that is going to dummy? For example if it is a material document then the material is not set up with a profit center. Also, make sure that in the GL field status that profit center is required for the GL entries ( except some auto post accounts) . You could do validations to require valid profit centers as well. You can also do a substituion and force in what you want. You can only have one DUMMY profit center in PCA.  So I am not sure what you mean by two pcrt 1 and pctr 2.  To correct this go to 9KE0 - Enter  and make an entry to dr/cr dummy and dr/cr pctr 3.
    pls assign points to say 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

  • 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.

  • 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.
    Regards,

  • 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
    Regards

    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.

  • Postings made to a Dummy profit center

    Hi,
    When checking the 1KEK list (Transfer Payables & Receivables to PCS), we noticed that many postings were made on the Dummy profit center.
    This happened when the Special G/L indicator was used (E.g. for doubtful customers, for transfer to a Factoring company).
    Where can I make the settings for picking up the profit center automatically?
    Thank you.
    Kind regards,
    Linda

    Hai Linda,
    Posting to dummy profit center happens only when you have not assigned the profit center details in cost center. Hence, first check the cost centers for which profit center has not been assigned using Tcode 1KE4. Here go to Assignment Monitor > Cost centers > Non assigned. For the cost centers displayed provide the profit center details wherever required.
    To do this ks02 and state the profit center details under "Basic data". this setting will ensure flow of info from cost center to the respective profit centers.

  • 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.
    Regards,
    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
