Using Business Area and Profit Center Accounting with New GL functionality

Hello,
We are Public Sector and using ECC 6.0, we have been using Business Area with Fund Management. We also use Special Purpose Ledger with Document splitting. Before migrating to New GL functionality, we want to understand
-     The possibility of using both Business Area and Profit Center Accounting, and the impact on the system
-     If we activate Profit Center Accounting before migration, how will it work with the splitting process?
-     If we migrate without Profit Center Accounting, will this cause the activation of Profit center accounting later to be more complicated, even if we migrate again?
Thanking you

Hi Sachin,
Thank you for the reply, we want to know that
-     The possibility of using both Business Area and Profit Center Accounting, and the impact on the system
If we decide using Profit Center Accounting with Business Area with New GL functionality how we should do it
-     should we activate classical Profit Center Accounting before migrating to New GL functionality, if we do this how will it work with the splitting process?
-     If we migrate to New GL functionality without Profit Center Accounting, will this cause the activation of Profit center accounting later to be more complicated, even if we migrate again?
Thanking you

DOC Splitting in New GL and Profit center accounting activation

Dear All,
I am in a dilemma regarding the following -
We are activating doc splitting with profit center and segment as characteristics.
1) While maintaining Controlling area settings(OKKP) - do we need to activate "Profit Center Accounting" component?
2) Similarly, in IMG-Controlling - Profit Center Accounting- Basic Settings-Controlling Area Settings-Maintain Controlling Area Settings (0ke5), do we need to maintain any settings?
I am of the opinion that ,based on the SAP Note - 826357, that we need not activate PC accounting as it is built into New GL Accounting.
I am also of the opinion, again based on the note, that we can use classic PC accounting, but the note recommends and I quote
we do not recommend you do this on a long-term basis due to the increased data volume and the increased time and effort required, and in the case of active document splitting, the update response changes.
But I am not able to come to a conclusion.
In earlier implementations, I activated PC accounting in OKK5 in New GL doc split scenario. So keeping that in mind, pl guide me.
Thanks & regards,
Gov

Hi
Please set the Profit Center Accounting with Controlling Area.
SPRO->CONTROLLING-->PROFIT CENTER ACCOUNTING -->CONTROLLING AREA SETTING -->MAINTAIN CONTROLLING AREA

Error message "There is no item Category Assigned to Account"

Hi All,
When I tried to post a transaction in G/L Accounts screen , I got the following error message "There is no item Category Assigned to Account 400300/ESSA"'.

Dear Sharathlsbu
Probably document splitting is activated in your company code.
So at the following path Assign an item category to your GL account.
Path: SPRO-Financial Accounting - General Ledger Accounting - Business Transaction - Document Splitting - Classify G/L Accounts for Document Splitting..
Check the item category that is most relevant to your GL from dro-down

Everytime i try to download from app store it gives me an error message saying "This is not a Test User account. Please create a new account in the Sandbox environment." although i never used jailbreak or downloaded cracked software

Yep, I've been reading through other threads on lots of different sites over the last few hours and I can't seem to find a working solution, even though some seem to have worked for other people.
Most of them hadn't been updated in a while so I made my own post to see if anyone has anything new.

Profit Center Accounting in ECC 5.0

We are on ECC 5.0 and having some issues with profit center accounting. Is there any way that I can tell if Profit Center Accounting has been fully configured? If anyone has any documentation, I would greatly appreciate it.
Here are the problems:
1. We are posting to profit centers during document entry (FB50, FB60, FB70, FB01, F-02, etc.) however, when I go to review the documents, it only shows the accounting document and not a profit center accounting document. This doesn't seem normal. I can confirm that we have a document type set up for PCA, but it doesn't appear to have a number range assigned to it. Would there be any reason why a company wouldn't want to have PCA documents being created? We are running reports out of BW as well....
2. When I try to run typical PCA reports such as
KE5Z                Profit Center: Actual Line Items
S_ALR_87009712      Profit Center: Area list plan/act.
S_ALR_87013327      Plan/Actual/Variance: Profit Centers
S_ALR_87013332      Curr.Period,Aggreg.,Year Pl/Act.PrCt
S_ALR_87013340      PrCtr Group: Plan/Actual Comparison
I get the message, "No data found." I have gone to the GLPCA and GLPCT tables and they show 0 entries. Are these transactions considered "old PCA" in ECC 5.0? Are there other PCA reports that may read from new PCA tables or are there new PCA transactions in ECC 5.0?
Thanks for any help or info.

Hello Linda,
The transactions are the same between the two versions.
To check if the customizing is ok you could see :
- If you have profit centers created KE53 or KCH6N
- The 1KE1(customizing analysis)give you a profit center resume of your customizing.
- Show if the 0KE5 transaction is completed with the controlling area, dummy profit center, valuation view, control indicator .
- To show if the EC-PCA actual posting is activated, transaction 1KEF
- GB02, number range have to be created.

Profit Center Accounting in ECC 6.0 New GL Accounting

Hi,
I want to make my understanding clear.
If we are in ECC 6.0 and New GL accounting is active and also the One of the Document Spliiting characteristics is Profit Center, it means that all the document must have the Profit center to it.
In this way we can get the Profit center wise Balance sheet.
I hope my understing is clear till now. Please correct me if I am wrong.
Now with this, my next question is , do we really need to Configure the Profit Center Accounting node Under controlling?
If yes, why to do this? Because if we require Distribution or assessment cycle for the Profit center, it can be done through General Ledger Accounting node (New) period end closing process.
Please correct me if I am wrong.
regards

Hi Kerstin
Assume you are on ECC 6.0 and you dont create Dummy PC...
If doc splitting is active, you get an error that "PC in Line item XXXX not filled"... System does not look for Dummy PC in that case...
Same behaviour should have been replicated in CRM as well.. Dont you think so?? If I have not activated EC-PCA, I am not supposed to get any error related to Dummy PC... Thats the basic premise of SAP, as far as I know...
When Dummy PC is a feature of EC-PCA, system should look for it only when EC-PCA is active... Though you can say Dummy PC can be created from New GL Menu,, but the basic premise which stil remains is the behaviour is not the same in CRM & Other ECC components like FI, when the PC is not found.... One behaviour is as per EC PCA active and the other is as per New GL PCA active
Anyways, thanks for sharing your knowledge on this,

Activate Profit Center Accounting with Splitter in SPL / New GL

...............New G/L go live date.....................Migration Point (after this cannot post back)
...............I<--old G/L--
>I
...............I..(using old G/L till Migration).........I
I--I>---
...............I...................................................I
...............I...................................................I
...............07/01/2011
...............PCA (activating it with splitter)
We are Public Sector and are on ECC 6.0, we have been splitting Document based on Business Area and Fund. Before migrating to New GL functionality, we are also thinking to use the feature of document splitting with characteristic profit center. To do that we are thinking of the two following scenarios, but want to understand the possibility, the benefits and impact on the system
Scenario A. Activating Profit Center Accounting with Splitter in Special Purpose Ledger on the GO-live date and populate Profit Center field in Classical G/L.
Scenario B. Activating Profit Center Accounting with Splitter In New G/L on the GO-live date and populate Profit Center field in New G/L.

Yes, I understand that (ours too). Based on your diagram, migration will be some time after 7/1/2011.
Actually, I think what SAP recommends is complete migration before opening the new FY for posting. In any case, if you want to add a new split characteristic and you are already using SPL, I think it is better to add it to SPL before NewGL migration because SAP handles migration with SPL and without SPL (from classic GL) differently. With SPL is a lot more straight forward.

Internal-Profit Center Accounts Receivables/Payables

Dear All,
Within a single Company Code, Profit Center 1 is assigned to Plant 1 while Profit Center 2 is assigned to Plant 2. To track inter-divisional revenues and costs between Profit Center 1 & 2 during stock transfer, Transfer Pricing will be activated using Profit Center Valuation in Profit Center Accounting.
Only Legal Valaution is turned on in FI. No Profit Center Valuation will be turned in FI.
We understand that Inter-divisional Accounts Receivables/Payables can be generated for Profit Centers if these Profit Centers belong to 2 different company codes.
Thus we would like to clarify if Inter-divisional Accounts Receivables/Payables can be generated in the scenario within a Company Code where Profit Center is assigned to Plant 1 while Profit Center 2 is assigned to Plant 2?
Prompt respose is appreciated!
Million Thanks in Advance!

Dear Suraj,
I realiee appreciate your prompt response.
I have been reading SAP HELP and forums. The internal-divisional AR/AP scenario between Profit Centers are usually between 2 Plants and 2 Company Codes.
We understand that we can Define Account Determination for Internal Goods Movements for P/L Accounts in PCA for Internal Revenues, Internal Change in Stock and Delivery from Profit Center.
Would you please give us some pointers where and how internal-divisional AR/AP between Profit Centers within a Company Code can be configured in IMG?
Regards
