INVOIC02 and Profitability Segment

Hello,
I need to post invoices with IDoc INVOIC02. However, I don't see how I can use this to populate profitability segment fields (the ones you get to when you click the More/--> button next to "Profit. Segment" on a coding block in FI posting).
I have already created an IDoc extension for INVOIC02 and implemented EXIT_SAPLIEDI_101, but I don't see how I can use this to populate the necessary fields. When looking in function group IEDI, I also don't see that it caters for navigating to screen SAPLKEAK 0300 with function code COBL_XERGO. Documentation on this is very scarce.

Hi,
We have the same problem. We managed to display the field, adding an entry in the following path in SPRO:
SAP Supplier Relationship Management -> SRM Server -> Cross-Application Basic Settings -> Extensions and Field Control (Personalization) -> Configure Field Control -> Configure Control for Fields of Substructures
We've added the field PROF_SEGM for the set type 31, and now the field appears, but doesn't work properly.
Always appears with the value 0000000000 if I change this value when I do something the value is reset to 0000000000 again.
Any one has a solution for this issue ? or is necessary to create a custom field for this?

Difference between New G/L Segment and Profitability Segment

Dear friends,
Can somebody explain what is the difference between New G/L segment and Profitability segment.
Thanks, Prakash

Hi,
Segment in New G/L is puerly for external reporting purpose.A segment is a sub area of a company for which has separate financial data and which has expenses and losses.For this segment we need virtually complete balance sheet for external reporting purpose.
Profitability segment is for analysis of profit within the organisation.A Profitability segment is a combination of different characteristic for which we want to analyse sales revenue and cost.These characteristic can be any thing for example customer, product, sales organisation etc.
For example We want to analyse what is the total sales of product A for customer group B under the sales organisation XYZ. Here profitability segment = Product+customer group +sales organisation

Assign WBS and Profitability segment

Dear Gurus,
I want to make Sales Order for project but when the quotation creted from the project, it assign WBS element automatically and the profitability segment is unchangeable (grey). How to fill profitability segment automatically even we create quotation from Project?
or can we fill both wbs and profitability segment in same time? if we do it, will it post as statistical n true?
Thanks

Hi,
If CO-PA is active settlement transfer the costs and revenue of the sales order item to profitability segment in CO-PA, if not active it gets transferred to G/L account in FI.
Regarding functionality of Profitability segment - Need to specify Characteristics in CO-PA for profitability segments and these characteristics are used for Information system and planning. Charcteristics which are not involved in profitablity segment remains in the line item of CO-PA. In essence charcteristics decides on profitablity segments.
Regarding removal of Profitablity segment no in Sales order .Kindly refer back to the earlier threads.
Thanks & Regards

I proceeded and the sales order couldnt save. An incompletion log pointing towards the profitability segment was generated. I have put the profit center, yet i have this issue.
Kindly help resolve it.

Hi Luqman,
This issue is realted to the COPA Issue.
Please Try by giving the Profit Center at sales order Header by giving the Derivation rule and most important thing here is we have to mention the country of ship to here.

SRM and Profitability Segment (CO-PA)

Has anyone managed to get this Profitability Segments working on SRM?
On an account assignment category in MM you can activate profitability segment, to enter extra characteristics on the account assignment on a Purchase Order.
Profitability segment isn't listed in the config on account assignments in SRM.
I have noticed that BBP_PDH_ACC Screen 2000 has screen fields:
BBP_PDACC-PROF_SEGM
S_SCREEN_ACCDET-PROF_SEGM
Is there a way to get this to appear as standard, or is a BAdI / custom fields required?

Shipment profitability segment

Hi experts need suggestion on this issue plz.I am unable to update the profitability segment while calculating freight cost and transfer the cost to respective G/L and profitability segment,what actually my requirement is when i process shipment cost document while transfering cost to cost center i need profitability segment too,so what i have to do get this profitablility segent and cost center when i transfer the freight.

Hi,
I don't think it is possible to transfer a Profitability Segment (CO-PA) directly during transfer of Shipment Costs to Accounting.
The reason it that the Service Entry Sheet that gets generated would be unable to handle the CO-PA information.
If I remember well, you can only use a Cost Center or a Cost Order as costing assignment in the shipment cost document.
Therefore the correct way to do it would be indirectly, through a transfer of cost using a Cost Center (the usual way) first.
If you check the costing assignment possibilities in the shipment cost document, do you see any other possibility than Cost Center or CO Order?

Franck

EDI Vendor posting (INVOIC01) to account assign Profitability segment

Hello Experts,
Have anyone used INVOIC01 (EDI vendor) Idoc type to post to a Profitability segment in a InterCompany sales scenario? If yes, could someone guide me how to achieve this? I see that OBCC transaction has Profitability segment field, but I am not sure how to use it.
Any ideas?
Thanks for your time.

Thanks Waman for the SAP notes.
In fact, I have looked at those notes, already. We cannot change to INVOIC02 Idoc type.
I wonder, why SAP does not offer the functionality to update Profitability segment on the EDI Vendor posting. Transaction OBCC has Profitability segment, but giving a fixed PSEG will not meet any business requirement! EDI enhancement FEDI0001 has only EDI-FIELDS and not the IDoc segment details. There is nothing much one can do with just the EDI-FIELDS.
Have you used FEDI0001 enhancement for PSEG determination? Looks like all that one can do with FEDI0001 is move the OBCC configuration values to Coding block.
Thanks for your time.

How to update sales order number (KAUFN) characteristic in the profitability segment of the PA document created at the time of service entry sheet confirmation, as a result of shipment cost document

Hi,
We have a scenario wherein we create shipment cost documents against delivery. As a result of shipments fully transferred, a PO for freight vendor is automatically created and a service entry sheet confirmation happens. As a result of service entry sheet confirmation, we have Financial accounting, Controlling and profitability analysis documents created. We have a requirement wherein we need to have the characteristic “sales order number (KAUFN)” populated in the profitability analysis document created as a result of service entry sheet confirmation.
Could someone please advice how could this be attained in COPA. Thanks for your help in advance.
Regards,
Sandeep

Hi Ajay,
Thank you for the quick update.
The document is updated to COPA through OKB9 settings. The profitability segment is updated with fields like customer, product, company code, plant, sales area data, profit center, etc; however the sales order number is missing.
Could you please elaborate further how could FI substitution be implemented to call for the FM COPA_PROFITABILITY_SEGMENT through user exit? Are you recommending the substitution through GGB1? What could be the possible validation to call for the user exit to be implemented?
Regards,
Sandeep Kulkarni

Profitability Segment while releasing invoice to Accounting

Hi,
I am configuring a scenario in which a debit memo request and a corresponding debit memo will be created. Users want to put in a WBS element at the line item level of the debit memo request (which is fine). Business gave me a GL account in which the profitability segment is a required entry. Now, when I try to release the invoice to accounting, I get an error saying "Field Prof.Segmt is a required field for G/L account" (Msg Number F5808). I know that by changing the field status group on the GL account, i can make it post, but that is not the point. I want to know
a. Why system is unable to determine the profitability segment (i entered GL account in OKB9 and checked auto determination of profitability segment)
b. Is it because I am using the WBS element and trying to post to both FI and CO (because, when i use WBS in sales order, during account determination, system looks for KOFK condition type to determine the GL account) and i am not supposed to do that? If i do not use a WBS, then, the posting happens (using KOFI) and the profitability segment is also determined.)
Please let me know if you need more information.
Your help is most appreciated.
Regards,
Mukund S

We closed this issue by changing the field status group for the GL account. Though this is not the perfect answer, we had to do it for the business need.

In KEPM error msg ' not all profitability segment can be processed'

Hi
PL HELP ME WITH THE FOLLOWING ERROR, when doing 'enter planning' in KEPM.
Message no. KG803
Diagnosis
You cannot maintain all of the profitability segments in the current transaction. This could be due to the following:
1. Errors occurred when characteristic values were derived for the profitability segments.
If this is the case, you can display the error messages under the menu option "Extras -> Error logs -> Derivation".
In the log , it says
Diagnosis
The characteristic "PRCTR" ("Profit Center") should be posted to Profitability Analysis (CO-PA). When the system checked the entries, it was established that the transferred characteristic value (" 1000 YB999") is not valid in CO-PA.
Thanks
kamala

Hi Kamala,
I would kindly ask you to check transaction OKEQN with your relevant planning version you are using in KEPM and where the above error occurs.
The system checks within derivation (where the error comes from) if the characteristic value is valid for a specific date set within the version (thus trans. OKEQN). If you have PRCTR '1000 102C511' not valid for the date set in the version within OKEQN, then this error message is justified, as the system realises that the PRCTR was not valid by that time.
Could you please check this? If the profit center is not valid for this date please adjust the date to a more recent one.
Best Regards,
Abhisek Patnaik
