Hi Experts,
When I am trying to change as "Fix Characteristic and Breakdown by PrCtr Group/Profit Center"

How I can overcome from this

Profit & Loss and Balance Sheet at profit center group level

Hi,
my client has "xxxx" as group in standard hierarchy of profit center. under this group there are further two sub groups "01" & "02". under each sub group there is one profit center "0100001" and "0200001" respectively. now the requirement is that the user would like to extract Financial Statement Version (P&L and Balance sheet) at all three levels "Top Group", "Sub Group" & profit center.Now i do know that by activating document splitting on the basis of profit center i can get FSV at profit center level through standard report "S_PL0_86000028" by specifying profit center in selection perimeters. but how can i get the same at two group levels? please help me out here.
Regards,

Hi
As far as my knowledge it the only way to choose group of profit centers . as per below screen shot .. you are not permitted to choose profit center group.

If there is one to onr releationship between Profit Centre and Site there is no need to create additional characteristic "Site".

Profit Center Derivation in GR and Invoice documetns form MM component

Hi All,
My clien wants to set a profit center(B/S)999999 for only GR/IR clearing account (not on expense line item) on Goods receipt and invoice documents. At present it is getting derived from cost object assgined to the purchase order.
I tried using substituion(GGB1) and able to replace the profit center on GR/IR clearing account line item in Goods Receipt.
But after doing MIRO, the FI document shows the profit center assigned to the cost object in PO instead of the assigned profit center in substitution rule.
Please advise.
Thanks in advance!!!!!
Kumar

Hi
Ideally you should not use Substitution Rule for posting to a fixed profit center for MIGO and MIRO Documents. Logically this is not correct. However, if you still want to check if you have maintained profit center as a substitutable field in VWTYGB01. This has to be set to 15 for substitution at complete document level. Further you need to use a BADI to have the same populated. It woul dnot be populated with a simple Substitution rule for MM generated documents

Profit Center wise balance sheet and Profit and Loss account

Hi Experts,
I will explain my scenario
The is cleint having Head Office for handling procurement of goods for all branches(8) and the physical delivery happens for goods at the requested branch and GR and IR also makin at the branch level.
And we are treated each branch as profit center apart from HO(profit center).But the vendor payment should be happen from HO(prfoit center) so and they are not using automatic payment programme.
My question is
1.While doing the vendor (Branch)payment from Cash/Bank GL (HO) how the balances will be tallied ?
2.If I am using the document splitting and zero balance document clearing will it tally at the profit center level ?
3.At the period end if I will do the 1KEK T Code to transfer the payables to the profit center which profit center system will take for posting ?
Please advice me in this and I will give good points with correct answer.

Hi Edukondalu Garu,
Please find answers to your questions below:
1.While doing the vendor (Branch)payment from Cash/Bank GL (HO) how the balances will be tallied ?
Answer: The Profit Center balances will get automatically tallied due to document splitting and Zero balance account being defined properly. The automatically identifies it
2.If I am using the document splitting and zero balance document clearing will it tally at the profit center level ?
Answer: Yes that is the main criteria to get full fledged Balance sheet and P&L account by Profit Center
3.At the period end if I will do the 1KEK T Code to transfer the payables to the profit center which profit center system will take for posting ?
Anwer: With Document Splitting, you don't have to do the period end transaction in PC to transfer the account payables, accouts receivables and fixed assets. The transfer is online and real time basis.
I hope i answered all your questions.
Please feel free to get in touch with me if you need futher clarifications

Profit Center Groups Wise Report

Hi Team,
Is it possible to have GL Balance, Vendor and customer Balances on Profit Center Group Wise on basis of Plant to which few more plants are assigned.
For Example:
Company code is 1000
Under Co. code 6 Plants are present ie; 2000, 3000, 4000, 5000,6000, 7000
3000 and 4000 Plants reporting to 2000 plant 6000,7000 plants are reportting to 5000 plant
for ex geographically you can imagine we have one comany code and uder that two main reporting centers are exists like south and north.
For every plant we have 10 profit centers. To get the plant wise P&L and B/S we created profit center groups and we are getting the reports in controlling but client require GL balances vendor balances Customer balances in FI on profit center group wise. (Both vendors balance FK01 & XK01, Customer balance FD01,XD01, GL Account Balance of 2000,3000,4000 all combined)
so i would like to know if we want FI reports like plant shall we create group profitcenter or we have some other option because p group wise GL balnces customer balnces vendor balnces is must requyired for the client.
Thanks,
Madhu

Hi Sap Gurus
Could you please help me with the following error
We have business areas defined as 1001 so on to 1006 and we have defaulted the profit center and business areas in the cost center master data and when I am booking expenses pertaining to two different business areas cost center for ex:-
001 31 1001 0000200055 A & A Holdings             14.000,00-
002 40 1001 0076003000 PlacemtRecruit Chrg        10.000,00
003 40 1002 0076003000 PlacemtRecruit Chrg         4.000,00
The system is throwing up the following error
Balancing field "Profit Center" in line item 001 not filled
Message no. GLT2201
Diagnosis
The field Profit Center marked as balancing is not filled with any value in line item 001, even after document splitting.
System Response
The document cannot be posted.
Procedure
First check your entries.
Additional causes could be:
u2022     No value can be derived for this field from the current document data.
u2022     You have entered a document type that is not designed for this business purpose.
Can someone provide a solution please as this is go live critical for us now
Thanks in advance
PSNG

Hi,
Actually, we have all three scenarios, profit center, segment and business area..
As suggested, we have checked all field status relevant.. profit center is optional in all cases..
Now, Pls consider the scenario without business area in document splitting characteristics..
If I post an expense, profit center is picked thru cost center and segment thru profit ctr. The vendor or bank line item inherits the characteristic values from the previous line item.
Now, in addition we have business areas in doc splitting characteristics.
Business area, again is populated thru cost centers, along with profit ctr and segment.
The business area gets correctly populated in the vendor line item.. but the profit center doesnt.
Please let us know the reason..

ICR Process 2 - Parallel Recon by Trading Partner (TP) and TP Profit Center

Experts,
At my current implementation, I would like to reconcile accounts (Process 2) by trading partner, and also by trading partner profit center, essentially reconciling the same data for a period in two different ways. Instead of reconciling data the first way and then backing up the period, and reconciling the second in ICR; is it possible to run two different special reconciliation ledgers for Process two and use one to reconcile with a set of rules for trading partner and the second to reconcile with a set of rules for trading partner profit center? It appears I could create a reconciliation process 4 in the FBIC010 & FBRC7 and assign a secondary special ledger to it, but how would ICR know to look for the right recon ledger when you run FBICA2 and FBICR2?
Does anyone have experience and can chime in on this scenario?
Please Advise
Thanks!
John Scime

I needed to update the field movement in the reconcilation ledger.
The hierarchy with TP PC is showing up now but some documents are not appearing in the reconciliation display. I am going to delete the transactional data index tables and post fresh. I think that will solve the display issue as it has in the past.
I am using two sets one for all Intercompany Accoutns in the reconcilation ledger, and another for all profit centers. I am matching the sets against themselves for the object groups (ie compare all accounts against all accounts...all PC against all PC)
Is there anythign i should investigate Link[Take at the InterCo PC Recon Here|http://img717.imageshack.us/i/26681721.png/]

Functionality of Profit Center and Cost Center

Hi,
I am unable to understand the functionality of Profit center and cost center, I know that cost center represents area within an organization for which you will like to see the expenses for a particular time period. for example in an organisation we have three cos centers Accounts, HR and Admin. whenever you post an accounting document in FI you will specify the cost center to which the expense relates. but in some cases when you post an expense and give the relative cost center the profit center is also driven by the system. why is this behavior? i mean i have posted an expense not an income then why is system driving the profit center as well?
Profit centers are used if you want to see the profit of different area of your organisation. in what kind of postings we use profit center? and if we could use profit center to draw income and loss for a specific area why do we need segment reporting? and what is the difference between Segment and Business area. what i understood from their definition is that they are both same and use for same purpose.
I am totally lost in these concepts. please some one help me out with an example. i am stuck at this point. some one please clarify my concept of Profit Center, Cost Center, Segments and business area please.

Hi,
Cost center & Profit Center are organizational units within the enterprise structure , created for better internal control.
As the name suggests Cost Center is the lowest level of the organizational unit representing a defined location of cost incurrence or otherwise to which you can meaningfully assign the cost(both direct & Indirect).
Profit Center is an organizational unit in accounting ,where management would require to see the profitability & fix the responsibility. It may be each plant/division of the company .
If you consider the Plant is the Profit center, you can take the various deptts in the Plant as cost centers. you can draw a balance sheet & profit & loss account statement at profit center level but this will be for your internal use.From this you can know the ROI on particular area. Profit centers are assigned inside the cost center so when you update cost center, profit centers are updated automatically.
Where as Segments are used for legal reporting of your accounting standard as per IFRS. Both Business Area & Segments are more or less same with some technical difference.
Business area is a free organizational unit. It can be derived through cost center or can be entered manually.
But segment is a dependent organizational unit. It is defined & attached inside the profit center master data. It can’t be entered manually.
SAP suggest to use the Segment concept.
Thanks & regards

Difference between Business area and profit center accounting

Hi Frnds,
Can any body explain about difference between business area and profit center accounting .

Hi
Business area will have many profit centers. For example Vehicle is a business area in a company. Vehicle can be cars and Bikes etc. Here Vehicle is business area and Cars and Bike are profit centers. In broad Vehicle is a profit center. But as it has sub areas those are profit centers. So profit centers cannot be replaced with business area and vice versa. We can replace business area by Profit centre, only condition is that it should be in same controlling area. The business area is more like a business unit of a company. You can have multiple profit centers within a business area.
Main distinguish factor is that distribution and assessment in possible in profit center but not in business area.
One more distinction is that Business area need not be attached to any organisation structure. But profit centres can be created only under the controlling area. Business area can be across controlling area.
Business area concept is used for making stragic decisions by the management whereas the primary purpose of profit centre accounting is responsibility accounting.
