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

  • 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

    customer/Vendor Invoice System is not checking that CO Object (WBS

    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.

    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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

    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

  • 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

    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!

  • Postings to Dummy Profit Center

    Hi!
    we have some Profit & Loss GL accounts which were not created as cost elements, for example Change in stock GL accounts. But while posting the transaction in FI, it is getting posted in DUmmy profit center also, which was assigned in PCA Controlling area settings.
    Can any one tell me , even if we don't open any profit & loss account as cost element and not assigned to any cost center or profit center, it will post to dummy profit center?
    Or any other settings have been done to post this type of transactions?

  • 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.

  • Transfer vendors and customers from dummy profit center to other profit ctr

    Hi all
    No. of vendor /customer transactions are posted in dummy profit center-
    How to transfer from dummy profit center to other profit centers line itemwise or balanceswise
    thanks in advance
    joseph david

    Hi Joseph,
    Acturally at the end of certain period, payables/receivables will be updated with the profit center using the TCode: 1KEK.  the program searches for the profit center in opposite line item in each document and updates the payables/receivables line item with that profit center.
    But in your case you want to transfer the payables/receivables from dummy profit center to other profit center.  You can transfer the amount from one profit center to another profit center using the TCode: 9KE0.
    Hope this helps you...

  • 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.

  • 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.
