Intercompany & Inter-profit centre clearing

I am working in new GL. In our scenario Profit centre clearing is mandatory for all company codes.
In this case, please advise me whether I am doing it right:
1. I will have to create a GL account for Profit Centre clearing applicable to all company codes-profit centre relations
2. I will also have to create GL accounts for intercompany transactions.
Please help.

Hi Sandra,
   I don't about your profit center clearing a/c if you specify more detials i will try to helpout, but for inter company i am giving some suggestions.
To use intercompany transactions you must have more than one company code in your controlling area (in OKKP T.code in field Co.code->Co area you has to maintain "Cross company code cost accounting").
1. FI side you must have more than one company code use T.cdoe:EC01
2. FI side Assign your comany code to company use T.code:OX16
3. FI side in T.code: OBA7 for document type SA select "inter-company posting" check box.
4. Create GL A/cs four.
      a. FI/CO reconciliation a/c in 1st company code - Any expenditure group which should not be a cost element.
      b. 1st company code GL a/c (eg:- Reliance industries ltd) under Current assets.
      c. FI/CO reconciliation a/c in 2nd company code - Any expenditure group which should not be a cost element.
       d. 2nd company code GL a/c (eg:- Reliance infocom) under Current assets.
But when coming to Field status group in these a/c's for FI/CO recon. a/c's use "ICCF" (CO->FI recon. posting) FSG.
And for 1st and 2nd company code a/c use G067 FSG.
5. Assign theses accounts for automatic postings in T.Code:OBYA.
When Coming to Controlling Area.
1. In T.Code: OKKP for Co.Code->Co. Area select " Select cross comany code cost accounting". And select Document Type: SA
2. In T.Code: OBYB assign FI/CO recon a/c.
3. In T.Code: OK13 create no. range interval for reconciliation posting.
These are the configruation steps we come across in inter-company postings. Try this if any issues revert back.

Profit centre clearing account.

Hi Experts,
Please tell me what is profit centre clearing account. What is the purpose of profit centre clearing account.
Our client is having say plant A and B.
COmpany Code 1. Profit centre is for Plant A and profit centre for plant B and one common profit centre other than this.
Now when f.01 is excuted for all GLs, there is no balance in profit centre clearing account. When you run the f.01 for Plant A profit centre it shows the blance. If you run for B is shows balance. If you run for head office is shows balance in profit centre clearing GL account.
is there any reason for this system behaviour and why. where profit centre clearing account is configured.
Please guide.
Zunaid

Hi Zunaid,
If you are on New GL and you have activated document splitting function, then you need t assign zero balance account. It is mandatory to see the Balance sheet at the profit center level.
Lets take a example, you have transferred the inventory form Plant A to Plant B
Inventory ( Profit center B) Dr
To Inventory ( Profit center A)
But after document splitting , the entry will be
Inventory (PC B)   Dr
   To Inventory ( PC A)
Zero Balance Account (PC A)   Dr
   To Zero Balance Account (PC B)
Through this entry, you can see the balance sheet at the profit center level i.e. debit and credit is equal at profit center level.
This is the reason you will see the balance in zero balance account at individual profit center level only. Because at company code level it will be knock-off i.e. always zero.

Cash flow Report-profit centres

My requirement is to make cash flow reports for profit centres. In our case new GL is activated with profit centre clearing scenario. Is the standard reports is based on Profit centres or company codes ?

Hi Prasanna
In the BP master you set a delay of 7 days for example, as this customer always pays 7 days late. The cash flow report will take the due date of an invoice and add 7 days. So if you run the cash flow report by weeks, then the due amount for that BP should move to the next week for example.
Kind regards

Doubts on clearing line items in profit centre and deleting the profit cent

hello All
We are using ecc 5.0 and new g/l, document splitting is activated. We are not using classic profit centre accounting.
We have two accounts which has values for profit centre 1010219.
1. 228100 which is assigned in cross company code clearing account
2. 228200 which is assigned in cross business unit ( as a part of zero balance account) in documen splitting.
now i want to clear all he entries for this profit centre and transfer them to another profit centre 1010403.
I am unable to do so as everytime I try to pass cross profit centre entry, Account 228200 gets a balacing line item( as a part of zero balance). this way my profit centre trail balance will never become zero.
can some body help me with this,,,,
1. in classic profi centre we could use t-code ke90 just to pass a document entry in PCA, this is not possible in new g/l... is there alternative.....
please help....
thanks
sanjeev

Hi,
You can try Profit Center Distribution(both sender and receiver gets original account numbers) or Assessment(Assessment cost element shall be a bring in between) to transfer values from multi profit centers to one single profit center or multi profit centers. The cycle can be run on a periodical basis.

Intercompany elimination at legal entity and profit centre level

All,
I have a question regarding intercompany elimination. As far as I understand, BPC can only hold one Interco dimension per application. If you want to perform an intercompany elimination for two dimensions which do not roll up into each other, two separate applications are needed. Please see example below to clarify:
Data is reported the following way:
Legal entity Profit Centre Account Interco Value
The problem is that the profit centre hierarchy does not roll up into the legal entity hierarchy mainly because there are profit centres set up as legal entities. Consequently, the legal entity hierarchy and the profit centre hierarchy are two independent hierarchies.
The business requirement is to have an intercompany elimination at profit centre and legal entity level at the same time (hence requiring two Intercos at the same time). This is needed as some of the profit centres are set up as legal entities.
Can someone advise me as to how to resolve this issue? Did anyone come across a similar problem?
Please let me know if you require any further clarifications.
Marc

Hi
Try to use 2 application for the interco elimination
for the 1st appls ur entity will be the entity dimension and use intco as intco dimension
for the 2nd one use the profit center as entity and build a new intco
As per interco logic this is using the Intco property in the Entity dimension and Entity property in intco dimension
it is very impossible to do this in one application
Thanks

Additional field Profit Centre for vendor and customer

Hi All,
We have created a web Dynpro application for posting documents for one of our client. The application is designed to park the document and has various level of approval before it is posted.
The issue we are facing now is that they have done a screen enhancement for the customer and vendor line item where they included an additional field for profit centre for cross profit centre posting, which could be only posted directly.
Since the Web Dynpro application is designed to park and post we are unable to store the profit centre value passed in the customer or vendor line items. Someone please let me know if we could store the value temporarily till the document is posted. We do not have profit centre field in the standard table for the vendor or the customer.
Regards,
Prashanth

The Trading partner field in customer and Vendor master is used to identify the affiliated companies involved in intercompany transactions.
The trading partner field is copied into the account receivable and payable transactions from the customer and vendor master. The Trading partner field also appears in the line items of the offsetting clearing accounts via substitutons.
The trading partner field subsequently can be used during consolidation to eliminate intercompany receivables and payables from the balance sheet and eliminate Intercompany sales and expense figures from the P&L statement.
Customer or vendor invoice: Trading partner information is captured from the customer and vendor master.
Invoice receipts against clearing account and transfers with clearing: While posting Invoice receipt during an Intercompany transaction, the invoice receipt can be posted to a clearing account instead of expense account. The selection of open items must be restricted to those with a certain trading partner when posting a transfer later on, as the trading partner is copied into the transfer line item.
Customer and Vendor Payments: If document types for payments are configured to allow for more than one trading partner in a payment document then the trading partner is copied only on the customer and vendor line item and not on the offsetting entry.
Assets transferred between company codes: If an asset is transferred between group company codes, two accounting documents are generated in each of the involved company codes. The trading partner of each document must be set to the company id of the other company code.
When goods are received from group company code the trading partner is picked for the inventory and GR/IR line items from the vendor mentioned on the order. If invoices are open as on the balance key date then group-internal provisions are created from the GR/IR accounts. These provisions can later be eliminated in Consolidation system.

Raw material profit centre document is not generated

Hi All
When i maintain profit centre in raw material and do GR/IR, only accounting doc is generated. The profit centre mentioned in material is reflected against both accounts in the entry. (rm inventory a/c and GR/IR clearing a/c)
When I go and see report of that particular profit centre I dont see any posting. Why is it so?
Can u help me out?
Regards
Rakesh

I am certain that a profit center document gets created for materials that have moving average price.
If the profit center in the material master was entered after the goods receipt, then the amount is still posted to a default profit center, but not to the profit center you expect.
first find your movement in MB51 or in purchase order history tab of ME23N.
Beeing in the material document, click the finance documents button at header level in document info tab. A pop-up appears where you have to select to where to go, either to the accounting doc or to the profit center document.
If you see this profit center doc in this pop-up, then you can be sure that it is posted to a profit center. go into this document to see to which profit center the posting was made.

New GL, Profit Centre Reporting, Settlement

HI,
Our company system has ECC6, New GL, but no enhancement packs.
I notice that Plant Maintenance Orders, once settled, do not generate an accounting document, but only a Profit Centre and controlling document.
Therefore the GL will not agree with the profit centre reports from GR55, which are the figures we want.
a) If we are starting a BW implementation "from scratch", is there any disadvantage to not having the Enhancement Packs fitted? Can we not just write the reports ourselves as part of the development?
i.e. does the enhancement pack 3 offer anything particular that cannot be replicated in the development?
b) Is this normal settlement behaviour? How would this be changed so that PM orders post into the GL as well as the Profit Centres?
Thanks.

Hi,
Difference without enhancement pack 3 is that you do not get 0FI_GL_14 datasource. This is line item datasource on FAGLFLEXA table (with joinings on BSEG table). So for example, you get all the Billing Doc Number, Purchase Ord no., Customer, Clearing Date (for AR) etc associated with the old accounting doc along with the New GL Doc numbers.
You do get the totals datasource 0FI_GL_10 is based on FAGLFLEXT only with data structure and data same as that in the table.
The 0FI_GL_4 (based on BSEG) is available too. So if you want you can stage this BSEG data and stage new GL table FAGLFLEXA and link both in BW based on the Old Accounting Doc number which be available in both. But this would be lot of ABAP lookups, looping etc.

Profit centre derivation rule to derive profit centre based in Business plc

Hi,
We required "profit centre derivation rule to derive profit centre based in Business place + 9000 in such case were vendor & customers are involved and current profit center derivation logic doesnu2019t work."
For this we have mapped a substitution pertaining to all co. codes based on all the relevant posting keys for Vendor and Customer where in system will replace the profit center based on business place given in line item as Business Place + 9000. For happening this we have written a User Exit and attached the same with this substitution through t.code OBBH. Entire hting we mapped in our testing client.
But now the problem is whatever posting keys we have defined in our substitution are being used in normal payment and clearing also.
Eg : In payment document vendor is debited vide posting key No 25. where the profit centre is derived based on the invoice that gets selected.
In Normal Payment and clearing transactions, the profit centre is derived based on the profit center in offsetting line items (as per New GL Logic) currently.
Now our business requires that where ever the system is unable to derive a profit centre for vendor and customer (And giving the error " Balancing field profit center in line item 001 not filled") transactions, then at that time profit center for that line item should replace with logic Business Place + 9000 (here business place is the business place contained by that line item in which error is coming for profit center.).
How to map the same in the system through substitution / exit or any other method? Awaiting for your inputs pls. Thanks in advance.
Tapan

Still not answered.
Requesting to give some clue for the same.

Profit centre information in F-02 (customer to customer / vendor to vendor)

One of our user is trying to post a FI document using F-02 for transfering from customer to customer and vendor to vendor. While doing the transaction, he is not able to give a required Profit centre in the transaction. I checked the Field status of the reconcliation accounts used and found that Profit centre is an optional field. How can the user assign a profit centre while doing these transactions ?

Hi Nikitha,
Profit Center field is not displayed in transaction screen. If you are using document splitting then profit center is derived from offsetting account and if not using then profit center is derived from F.5D execution , which ultimately derives from offsetting account.
To give remedy to this problem, it is better that you create one clearing G/L account. Let's take an example.
One clearing G/L 150000 has been created. Now customer Rs 5000 (debit balance) is to be transferred from customer 1000 to customer 2000. Entry would be.
Pkey          account            amount              profit center
40              150000             5000                  9000
14              1000                5000
Pkey          account            amount              profit center
50              150000             5000                  8000
04              2000                5000
This way profit center will remain balanced.

Profit centre error while vendor rebate settlement

Hi
this is regarding vendor rebate settlement TC- MEB4.
while settlement of agreement, system is not able to determine the profit centre, hence unable to post the entries. in this regards, i have checked following:-
1. material used in rebate agreement - profit centre maintained
2. field status of all GL used in settlement process is optional for profit centre and cost centre
3. in document splitting, categories of the GL's are Balance Sheet Item and Revenue
4. field status of the posting key also open for profit centre
5. document type is defined as Unspecified posting in splitting
do i need to look some other place for possible cause of error? please revert
Regards
DD

If you have mainatained the Rebate as accrual based on agreement adn Sales conditions then you should use Item Category as "01300-Cash Discount Clearing".
Change and try in atest system and while changing the category read the warning message carefully that the system issues and understand the implications.

Default Profit centre not picked up

Hi,
Document splitting is activated. Now i have assigned one bank account to one profit centre '1210' in tcode 3keh
I am posting customer receipt. Customer is in profit centre '1100'
I have defined zero balance clearing account - 20010010
Now when i posted receipt entry,
i was expecting the entry:
Bank A/c Dr (Profit Centre: 1210)
Zero Bal A/c (Profit Centre: 1100)
   To customer account (Profit Centre: 1100)
   To zero bal A/c (Profit Centre: 1210)
But the entry passed was:
Bank A/c Dr (Profit Centre: 1100)
   To customer account (Profit Centre: 1100)
Profit centre of bank was changed inspite of givin it in 3keh.
The above entry is perfectly passed in sandbox, but not in test client. I have compared the settings and its same.
Tell me what may be settings which is missed by me.

Use TCode: FAGL3KEH & not 3KEH for defining default profit centre
