Hierarchy authorization: profit center, 0account for 0PCA_C01 data.

Hello my SAP Net friends,
I have built the authorizations/roles using profit center hierarchy for PCA data based the paper in BWExpert(Avoid these common pitfalls in using reporting authorizations with and without hierachies), it works fine.
Both 0profit_ctr and 0account are in the 0PCA_C01 cube, they both have hierarchies.
Now users also want to use the 0account hierarchy to limit PCA data access beside using the profit center. Have any of you had experience to use both profit center and 0account hierarchies for authorization? Could it works? Any limitation or issues?
I have created authorization object using the profit center, if I create another authorization object using 0account. Could these two authorization objects works together?
I will assign points to any helpful responses.
Thanks!
JXA

Hello Jun,
0profit_ctr and 0account are two different characteristics, so authorization to those two are independent of each other.
I.e., you can set authorization two both characteristics by means of both hierarchies.

Where and how to enter plan data cost and profit center wise to get data in grr1

Hi Gurus,
Appreciate you can tell me where and how to enter plan amount cost center wise for cost elements and profit center wise for revenue elements????
So that we can get this data in grr1 report.....
Can we upload this planned data, if yes how??
Thank you

Hi..
If you use classic PCA, refer to Plan Data Transfer - Profit Center Accounting (EC-PCA) - SAP Library.
If you use new gl pca, refer to Transferring Plan Data from Controlling - General Ledger Accounting (FI-GL) (New) - SAP Library

Profit center line for free of charge items

Hi all
Is it possible to force SAP to write the create a profit center items for free of charge items of SD invoice (positions TANN), of course with zero value but with the quantity data?
Thanks.
Davide

Hi,
in NewGL I am sure that its not possible as there is no accounting document created (which contains the PRCTR information as well) if the revenue is zero.
And I am pretty sure that its not possible too in old PCA (Ledger 8A).
CO-PA docs. can be created for free of charge items (otherwise the cost of these items are missing in costing-based CO-PA).

Make correction on Standard Hierarchy in Profit Center.

1. Assigned a wrong std Hierarchy to Profit Center and need to make correction toward STD Hierarchy?
2. In create Profit Center Accting and Cost Center Accting, how would I toggle from one Controlling Area to another?
3. how would I delete a wrong Profit Center Accting without creating new one in its place?

Hi
1. Pr Ctr Group can be deleted using KCH2.. Enter KCH2 and choose DELETE from the menu GROUP
If you can paste your error here with the detailed anlaysis, it would help to help you
3. The program SAPFICO has given is not to delete the hierarchy, but to delete a Profit Center Document...
To delete a PC Hierarchy, go to KCH4 and except for the Top Node, you can delete the child nodes...
In order to delete the child nodes, first change all Profit Center Masters that contain these child nodes... Assign all PCs to the Top Node.... Then delete the child nodes....
So, in a nut shell, I expect you to
a. Try KCH2 or KCH4 as suggested above..
b. In case you get error message, paste the same here
c. Let me know in case you are in a test system so that we can explore further avenues if need be..

How to find the profit center group for a profit center?

How to find the profit center group for a profit center?

Hi,
try this also
In order to pass the setid parameter of the FM, you have to concatenate the following things
Setid + KOKRS (Controlling area) + Profit Center Group into one variable.
In my example below, I have declared as constants and concatenating to gv_setid.
gc_01016 is the set id for profit centers
gc_kokrs is the controlling area
gp_pprct is the Profit Center group entered in the selection screen.
You will get KOKRS value from the cepc-kokrs.
data :   gc_0106(4)   TYPE c VALUE '0106',
           gc_kokrs      LIKE cepc-kokrs VALUE 'ABCD'.
           gv_setid          LIKE sethier-setid,
           gt_set_values_1   LIKE setvalues OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE.
CONCATENATE gc_0106 gc_kokrs gp_pprct INTO gv_setid.
CONDENSE gv_setid.
CALL FUNCTION 'G_SET_TREE_IMPORT'
    EXPORTING
      client                    = sy-mandt
      fieldname                 = 'RPRCTR'
      langu                     = sy-langu
      setid                     = gv_setid
      tabname                   = 'GLPCT'
      no_table_buffering        = 'X'
    TABLES
      set_values                = gt_set_values_1
    EXCEPTIONS
      set_not_found             = 1
      illegal_field_replacement = 2
      illegal_table_replacement = 3
      OTHERS                    = 4.
By using the above FM you will get the values into gt_set_values1 once sys-subrc value eq 0, it is internal table which consists of all the profit centers for the proft center group.

Profit Center determination for Stock G/L accounts

Hello,
The scenario is as follows:
A single G/L account is defined in our system for Finished Goods. FI documents resulting from material movements are posted to this account in PCA, i.e. table GLPCA shows material document numbers in the reference document field along with the corresponding movement types for this account.
There are a large number of materials with Profit Center 10000 (Industry General) defined in the material master record. All postings to the G/L in question are currently being made against the Profit Center defined in material master. There are also two other Profit Centers defined in the system; 10001 (Industry Motors) and 10002 (Industry Others). The business requirement is that all materials are common to both segments, but the Profit Center should be determined from the sale, i.e. if a material is sold to an Industry Motors customer the Profit Center should be 10001, otherwise it should be 10002.
For the revenue G/L account which is hit at the time of posting of the invoice, a substitution has been configured that determines the appropriate Profit Center from the division specified in the invoice; there are two divisions for Motors and Others respectively. For the stock G/L however, all postings are made to Profit Center 10000 as defined in the material master record.
Since the stock G/L will show postings from all goods movements, including GR, initial entry, GI for delivery, etc., and all materials are common, it is clearly not possible to completely segregate all postings to 10001 and 10002. For example, GR will always be posted to 10000 (General) as it is not known whether this should be in 10001 or 10002 till the time of sale. However, for sales movement type (Goods Issue delivery) at least, postings shoud be made to the appropriate specific Profit Center. For the remaining postings, the business applies a calculated ratio to the acumulated balance.
For the stock G/L, is it possible to derive Profit Center for outward goods movements based on invoice? For example, 1000 USD worth of stock is posted to the G/L in PCA with movement type 101 and Profit Center 10000. 200 USD worth of stock is sold under Motors and 400 USD worth is sold under others. Entries in GLPCA should be:
G/L            Balance Profit Center     Movement Type
31000000   1000       10000              101
31000000   200         10001              601
31000000   400         10002              601
So from this it is easily possible to determine that 200 USD worth of stock has been sold under Motors, 400 USD worth under Others, and 400 USD worth of stock remains unsold.
A solution for this is required. If anyone can think of any other way to accomplish this as well, please share your suggestions. Thanks!
Regards,
Khan

to arrive the profit center at a time of Goods Movment, select the cost center for Industry Motor before to that do the settings in OKB9 for the Cost element a default Profit Center for Cost center.
Hope this helps u in resolve the issue.

Authorization to new hierarchy node (Profit center) in 3.5 Transaction code

Dear Colleagues,
I have an autorization problem that I wish you can help me with.
I have a (3.5) profit center hierarcy with authorizations on each node. These were made a long time ago by another consultant. Suddenly we have an additional node in the hierarchy (a new region). How do I give authorizations for this new node? Which transaction codes do I use, and how? I am a little bit familiar with PFCG, and have just briefly seen RSSM and SU01. But I can't see where I add authorization functionality yo the new node, and then give it to the user.
Will sign points!
Regards Silje

Look in RSSM to find out what your authorization object is for Profit Center.
Then lookup the roles that use this Profit Center authorization object -- Not sure how to do this because I usually know the roles I create! Ask the security or basis team for help if you can't find them.
Look at those roles and get an idea of how they are used ... In some cases you can group together values and use a wildcard to select a whole group. Such as, if I have profit centers ABC, ACD, ADE and BAC, I can select the group A* to only allow access to the profit centers starting with A. This person will not have access to the BAC profit center.
So, try to figure out how the other consultant assigned the profit centers, then add your new one in in the same way.

No result line for hierarchy on Profit Center in query

Dear Colleagues!
Question regarding BW 3.5!
I want to have an overall result line for a hierarchy based on profit center in my report, but I can't make it work.
The Profit Center infoobject is in the rows. I use the setting for the infoobject Profit Center to set Result settings but the line does not appear.
I have a very similar report where Costcenter hierarchy is in my row, and here I get the overall result line at the top. Why does it not appear in my Profit Center query?
I have compeared settings for the two hierarchies in RSA1, the settings for the two queries, the settings for the Web Template, and the settings for the infoobjects, but I can't find any difference. Can anyone out there help me?
Regards
Silje

Silje,
Have you a Node at the top of the Cost Centre Hierarchy which is being summed within the hierarchy and then perhaps all your Profit Centre nodes are at the same top level?
Also - are there other characteristics in your Cost Centre report that are actually the ones being summed?
Regards
Gill

How to find profit center group for any profit center

Hello,
KCH3 is the transaction code.
When you select ant profit center group and hit enter you will see the entire hierarchy, profit center groups and profit centers belonging to the group.
Now my question is i have a report where i need to display the hierarchy of the profit center that is fetched, i.e. i am getting the profit centers from FLAGFLEXT (data base) table.
Now i need to display the hierarchy from the top node till the profit center that is fetched in the report.
Please suggest, BAPI_PROFITCENTERGRP_GETDETAIL only gives all the profit center groups in one internal table and all the profit centers in one internal table.
I am looking for a place/ function module or a table that returns the relation between the profit center group and profit center.
Thank you.

Hi,
In Table SETLEAF,
1. Pass in field SETCLASS as '0106'.
2. Pass in field SUBCLASS with controlling area.
3. Pass Profit center in Field VALFROM.
4. You will get Group name in Field SETNAME.
Regards,
Ashok.

Profit Center value for Creation of Cost Center in MDG F

Hi
I am using MDG-F 6.1. I want to create cost center using change request type OG_W003 ( Cost Center single processing) without uploading intial data from ECC check table ( CEPC- Procit Center Master Data ).
Is this possible as there is warning message while creation of CC?
As there is warning message befor submitting of CR as
'Field "Profit Center": Field should be filled because Profit Center Accounting is active'
If we go ahead for with final processing then again one warning message
'The status of change request 86 does not allow for object changes'
After Approval active CC stores in MDG database table and not replicated to ECC even assigned Edition with flag'Immediate replicate' .
Also one more question How referance data ( Like Controlling Area/Company Codes) are retrived in MDG F in case of add on deployement?
Does intial upload is requird for this as well?
In ECC it is possible to create CC without PC.

Hello Sanjay
For Interface and for ALE setup Global company code is must. You are dealing with cross-company transfers since you are using MDG and ECC. In the ALE distribution layer, it is required to set up the global company code for the program to understand for which company code the master data is created. This setting will not affect any process. Tcode- ob72 and obb5.

Profit Center Substitution for Migrated line item

Dear Expert,
we migrated the data on feb 2014. past records having the default profit center value in each line item, after the migration we are not using the default profit center , we blocked that through some validation, but some situation, for clearing vendor or customer or gl, the migrated line item having default profit
center with disabled mode to change. so its throwing the validation error, we cant able to unblock the validation also. we need to write a substitution for this to replace automatically . Eg :
Default Profit center is : 38000
it should be replace with to 2038100001
like wise we have multiple company codes.
i try to write the prerequisite, herewith i have attached the screen shot, i am getting the error for this, anyone can explain this situation ?

Prince

Profit center security for Report Writer reports

We need to limit users access to profit center report writer reports. We attempted to add values to security object K_PCA but this did not work. I have heard there is a way to turn on objects for report writer checks but so far have been unable to figure out how this is done.

Which release are you on and how have you defined the authorizations?
If the st01 trace always returns 0 then chech the "reason code" (this is available since about 6 months).
Manually you can check it in tcode auth_switch_objects if globally disabled for the client.
Conversions to the new concept sometimes did this when they didn't want to use it.
Retro-fitting is difficult because your hierarchies might be maintained in PROD but your roles in DEV.
Tough call...

Copy cost center hierarchy to profit center hierarchy: is this possible?

Hi,
I would like to know or I can copy my standard cost center hierarchy to my standard profit center hierarchy. If so, how to proceed?
Thank you in advance,
Eric van Zundert.
Ps. We do not have enterprise organisastional active.

Hi Eric,
No standard tool exists for this operation. However, if you really prefer to do it manually, you can pull a trick. You can export your cost centre hierarchy to TXT file, correct there certain parameters (change BCCSS to BGLPCT, etc.) and then import it as profit centre hierarchy.

Eli

Profit Center Documents for Asset accounts

Hi
Can someone please assist me with my problem.
For documents created from the depreciation run. The fi document is created and the profit center document is created. But it only has the lines for the expense and not the balance sheet side.
if I use 1ke8 it shows that it has been done already which is correct but not all the lines. I have also used the reversal option, it reverses the document and creates it again but with the same lines.
Should the balance sheet side which is the accumulated depreciation lines not be determined depending on the cost center assigned to the asset??
How can I rectify this???
Please assist.
thank you in advance

Hello Richard，
I I think The problem is caused by missing customizing in trx. ACSET. the profit center can not be directly assigned to assets in asset master data. Therefore it has to be derived from cost center that is linked to asset.
To derive the cost center on FI document and then onto NewGL, it is necessary to:
1) set cost center field 'optional' in field status (trx. OB14 & OB41)
2) set cost center as account assignment at trx. ACSET
Best Regards,
Gladys xing
