Intercompany process-F2 billing document profit center assignment

Dear SAP friends
I would really appreciate if somebody could help us identify the following profit center billing document assignment issue.
We have a intercompany process scenario:
Company code A, sales organization A, Plant A.
Company Code B, Sales organization B, Plant B.
Sales organization A is the sales party which belong to company code A, The goods is delivered from Plant B which belongs to company B. The F2 billing document will be posted to Sales organization A. We have already assigned the profit center C in the material master of all the plants, sales organization level we could think about. During the sales order and delivery creation, the profit center C is automatically determined in the sales order and delivery level. However the profit center C can not be automatically determined in the F2 billing document level. We understand we could maintain automatic account assignment of revenue elements in CO-profit center accounting area. However this would be our last choice.
We have no issues with F2 billing document profit center determination if its non-intercompany process. But with the intercompany process, the profit center can not be determined in the F2 billing document level. Any idea would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Ning

Ideally the profit centre from sales order should have been passed to subsequent document & should also be determined in Billing Document. You will have to check with FI consultant the probable reason, as they will be the correct consultant to look into the issue & mend it.

SD billing Accounting document Profit center not coming from billing doc

Hi Expert,
    I have stuck with the accounting doc entries. Issue is that accounting document should have
    the same profit center as billing document. Actually i have created profit center for my each of
    my divisions and want the same profit center whenever that particular division is selected. But it
   is not working.
    I have tried with substitution method also by t-codes 0KEL and 0KEM. It works correctly till
   billing document means division wise profit center is coming in order,delivery , and billing but
   when we check accounting document,Profit center doc. Controlling Document and Profitab.
   Analysis in Delivery and Bill it is coming from what i have maintained in material master.
   But it should come from what is in the delivery and billing document.
    Please share your ideas.
   Thanks & Regards

Hi SAP Consultant
I would not agree with the first reply above.
When you define a substitution in 0KEL and 0KES, it is intended to overwrite the PC from Material Master. It is a wrong notion that this Substitution will only impact FI, and not CO / COPA
1. Are you able to see the over-written PC in Sales Order? (I think YES)
2. Are you able to see the over-written PC in Billing doc? (I think YES)
3. If in FI doc you are not able to see that, then see where is the problem. Probable reasons would be a Substitution written in OBBH, You are having a CO Object in the line item, a user exit written in the exit SDVFX008
Ask your ABAP to check on these lines, if 1 and 2 is YES

Materials management small differences - DIF - Profit Center assignment.

Hi,
We have created one G/L for posting the u201CMaterials management small differencesu201D at the time of generating MIRO document via transaction u201CDIFu201D in Tcode - OBYC.
For e.g. if the GR amount is 90 and IR (Invoice received from party) is of Rs. 91/- or vice-versa then for posting the difference of Rs. 1/- we have made the above assignment.
System is generating the line item for the u201CSmall Diff -Invoice Verificationu201D but posting automatically to a "Dummy Profit Center u201C in the absence of any other data.
Our point is that we want to change the profit center to the related Business area, which is there in the line item of u201CSmall Diff -Invoice Verificationu201D account.
We tried the FI substitution (Tcode u2013 GGB1/ OBBH) for the Profit Center derivation on the basis of Business Area but that is working with the FI documents (Manual FI entry) only and not with the automatic line generation like MIRO in the above case.
Later on I tried Tcode u2013 OKB9, but in that case after giving business area wise cost center substitution, system is correctly showing the entry (in simulation mode of MIRO transaction) in the required Cost Center & on that basis in the Profit Center, but still system requires u201CCO-Objectu201D
Initially we tried other way of creating a Cost Element under the category of u201C11 u2013 Revenueu201D to maintain Business Area u2013 Profit Center link but still in that case also it requires co-object hence turned to changing the Cost Element Category to u201C1 u2013 Primary Costu201D for capturing Profit center on the basis of Business Area u2013 Cost Center link since basically G/L u2013 u201Csmall Diff -Invoice Verificationu201D we have created under u201CExpense Groupu201D.
Our requirement is to post the entry in related profit center per Business Area in the line item of "Small Diff -Invoice Verification" since there are 6 to 7 business areas, which are active in system.

Shridhar

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. But I would like to correct you. I have mentioned in my subject line - "DIF" i.e the Transaction Key maintained in Transaction Code - OBYC for posting the small difference (Between GR and IR values) arriving at the time of MIRO transaction posting.
Now meanwhile I have come across u201CSAP Note : 32654u201D which mentioned that "Account assignment for the transaction (KDR, DIF, UPF) on the highest level i.e. the 1st screen where we set the Cost Center or Profit Center assignment to Cost Element with Acct Assignment details (1 or 2 or 3) is possible.
Same is not possible on details level means Acct Assignment details level per Valuation Area or Business Area for Cost Center or Profit Center linkage (2nd screen of OKB9).
Please do correct me if I am making any wrong statement.
Now would like to have an advise about the transaction Code - OKC9 with the scenario (MIRO document u2013 Dummy Profit center linkage) that I have mentioned above.
Do I require to maintain OKB9 (At highest level) and then need to work out CO- Substitution via OKC9 ? Or OKC9 is enough to cover my scenario ?
Do any body have a knowledge about that? Points will be assigned.

Shridhar

Manual Bank Subaccount Clearing 1:N – Profit Center Assignment within NEW GL

Hello guys,
What is the common practice to do Manual Bank Subaccount Clearing for Vendors outgoing payments? My main concern is Profit Center Assignment within New GL.
The business process is:
Payment Program (F110) creates multiple JEs to Bank Subaccount with different Profit Centers inherited from Vendor’s Invoices
JE #1 (GL View)
Debit:   Vendor_1               Profit_Center_1    $400
Credit: Bank Clearing GL   Profit_Center_1     $400
JE #2 (GL View)
Debit:   Vendor_2               Profit_Center_2     $600
Credit: Bank Clearing GL   Profit_Center_2      $600
When the payment is showing on Bank Statement in a lump amount, a posting with clearing should be done to make an entry on the Main Bank Account and to clear Bank Subaccount (F-04).
Credit: Main Bank GL   Profit_Center_????? $1,000
Debit: Bank Clearing GL   Profit_Center_1      $ 400 (PC assigned automatically by the system within the clearing)
Debit: Bank Clearing GL   Profit_Center_2      $ 600 (PC assigned automatically by the system within the clearing)
If Profit Center is not filled manually in Main Bank GL account line -> the system issues “Balancing field “Profit Center” in line item 001 not field”
Please share your experience whether a user makes multiple entries to Main Bank GL as a number of Profit Centers in ACH Clearing GL, or a Dummy Profit Center is used….
Thank you in advance

Hi
In most of my projects, a common profit center is defaulted to the Bank Account through FAGL3KEH in a new gl environment. This is because the payment function had been centralized and so it was booked to the corporate profit center which was also a common profit center.
However, it would again depend on your business requirements as to how they would like to see the profit center reporting. You may look at a substitution through an exit to default the profit center for the main bank gl.

Hi,
Company code, Controlling Area, Profit centre, Cost centres are created by FI/CO functionals.
Pl. discuss with your FI/CO counterpart.
My suggestion is that, don't create yourself, because it integrates to lot of other areas.
Just for learning purpose, you can go to SPRO-Controlling-Profit centre accounting.

Changes to Profit center assigned to cost center

Hi
We have a scnario in which the profit center assigned to the cost center master has to be changed. We have been advised also to change the validity period of the same from the date of change of the profit center .However, the cost center has been used to for some data postings with the old profit center maintained in the cost center master. Now my query is:
1. What is the impact of changing the profit center in cost center master? In our case, some data has been posted to the cost center when the old profit center was maintained.
2. Why should we change the validity period of the cost center after changing the profit center assigned to the cost center?
3. Also, what is the way to transfer the entries which have been posted to the old profit center to the new profit center?
Regards
Sanil Bhandari

hi,
1) The impact of profit center is more in the cost center. when ever we assign profit center to cost center. the cost will be updated automatically. so there is no direct posting in profit center only statstical posting are generated.
2) second one when we want to create profit center first chek it out profit center valid and upto. if same is not maintained in creation of cost center . so u must have to change the validity periods
3) i am not sure this one i thing 7KEH OR 1KEF TC is there any way tommorow i will give the answer this questions.
if my answers are wrong plz correct and replay to my id [email protected]
thank you

Hi Ajay,
Thanks for your reply.profit center changes are working with analysis period changes.
i have one more issue here,i can't change hierarchy in cost center and getting errors..
Message no. KS042
Diagnosis
Field Hierarchy Area to be changed must be unique for the entire interval. You selected a change interval which does not include the entire period. Any change in the field would result in an inconsistency.
I have try to change time depended field in configuration.system is not allowing for field "KHINR" in OKEG TC.
any help is appreciated...
Thanks,

Profit center assignment to company code

Hi,
We have 1 controlling area & 3 company codes A, B & C. We are restructuring Cost Centers & Profit Centers for company code A. Out of the 3 company codes, B has no separate profit center standard hierarchy. The cost centers of B are currently assigned to profit centers of A.
Now that we are changing all the cost centers & profit centers of A, how do we deal with the cost centers of B which are assigned to the old profit centers of A?
If I try to change the master data of Profit centers of A to exclude the company code assignment of A & only have company code assignment of B so that the cost centers of B are the only ones assigned to old profit centers of A, system throws an error saying that :
Cost centers assigned to the profit center are contained in the company code in question.
Procedure:
    Remove the existing assignment between Cost center **** and profit
    center ***. Note that other assignments might exist, which you will
    also have to remove before you can delete the profit center. For an overview of all existing assignments, use the assignment monitor.
Is there any other solution to this? Can the Profit center assignment to company code be time-dependant?
Or will we have to keep the old profit centers of A unlocked for cost centers of B & use some validations to prevent posting of Compnay code A transactions to old cost/ profit centers.
Regards,
Sangeeta

Hello,
We are having the same issue. Would you please advise what solution you used to correct this.

Where we can find out customer related profit center assignment.

Hi gurus

Sure you can find that, but before that you need to run F.5D and 1KEK for transferring customer detail to profit center.
After that you can this report S_ALR_87013343 - Profit Center: Receivables.

Billing error-Profit center not exist

Dear Experts,
While Releasing the billing doc to Accounting , system throwing the error like, Profit center does not exist, but after that i updated the profit center for that material in material master,still i am geting the same error message

Hi Raja,
Pls cancel the biling document that you have created and then populate the profit centre in sales order.
In sales order you can find it in item details view.>Accounting document>Profit centre.
For each item in the sales order you have to enter the value.
Save the Save order.
Or you can enter the profit center in MM02 screen.
Or you can maintain in OKB9 T.Code also.
Now create the billing document and release it to accounting.

I am tying to create a substitution in local sand box and not in client servers.

Prerequisites:
BSEG-BUKRS = 'XXXX' AND SYST-TCODE = 'FIBLFFP' AND BSEG-SAKNR = 'XXXXX'
Substitutions:
Profit Center Constant Value XXXX.
Later on I activated this substitution on OBBH.
After doing all these settings, when I post entry in FIBLFFP and check in FB03 the Profit Center is not getting picked.
Could you please help in this regard..??

Profit Center Assignment for Component of Sub Contracting PO

Hello all!
I apologize in advance if this is not the correct forum to post this question in. Additionally, I am an ABAPer with a focus in SD and MM, so much of FI is foreign to me.
To the problem...
Currently when a MIGO 101 is processed for a Sub Contracting PO Line item, a consumption transaction (543) is generated for the component materials on the PO Line. These consumption transactions are "tied", this is how my finance co-worker described it, to a Cost Center dedicated to Sub Contracting.
We would like to change the configuration as follows:
When the consumption transaction posts, it "ties" to the Profit Center (and thus cost center) of the Parent SKU (actual material received on PO Line) of the transaction.
Is this possible?
Thank you,
Steven Coolbaugh

Hi Steven:
Not sure if I understood correctly your requirement but let me try to explain:
For consumption items (Account assignment category K in PO line), it is consumed immediately on GR and consumption is posted to a cost center attached to PO line. And that is what happening in your exising process also, right?
Now when you said "TO Be" change as consumption ties to the profit center (and then to cost center) of parent SKU??
It is other way round. A cost center is linked to one profit center (whereas as a profit center can have many cost centers attached to it). Also since profit center is not a TRUE cost object (it is a statistical object), PO line would need a true cost object like cost center. So based on the information you provided in your post, it is not technically possible to book consumption at profit center (And then to cost center).
Are they two separate cost centers (one for sub contracing and one for Parent SKU)? If yes, can you attach parent SKU cost center to PO line (from business point of view) so that consumption posts directly to parent SKU and then to the attached profit center?
Hope it helps.
Thanks.
