Logic for configuration of profit centers

Hi,
I'm through with configuration of cost centers in our company, now I'm due to configure the profit centers. One point is, in our sister concern, they have copied all the cost centers and configured the profit centers on the same logic.
could anyone suggest me on how to do this, if there is any copy procedure and what would be the effects of copying the cost centers and configuring profit centers with the same number.
say if a cost center exists like: 402010 which is mumbai manufacturing, can I have the profit center with the same number 402010 for mumbai manufacturing, and what would be the effect of doing so.
And can I copy the variances cost centers as well to make variances profit centers
Plz suggest
Regards
Soujanya.

Hello
Please go through the IMG settings, after you get an idea from the below info
The master data includes the master records for the individual profit centers, as well as the corresponding standard hierarchy and alternative profit center groups.
Your companys standard profit center hierarchy may somewhat resemble the cost center hierarchy. Consequently, Profit Center Accounting provides a function which lets you copy the entire cost center hierarchy to the profit center hierarchy (see Customizing). You can then change the profit center hierarchy with the normal maintenance transactions to meet your requirements in Profit Center Accounting.
It is also possible to create account groups that are valid only for Profit Center Accounting. These account groups help you structure your information system to better meet your requirements.
It is possible to copy the cost and revenue element groups used in Cost Center Accounting (CO‑CCA) or the balance sheet account groups used in Financial Accounting (FI) to Profit Center Accounting, and then change them in EC-PCA to meet your requirements.
You can also maintain FI accounts and CO cost/revenue elements from the Profit Center Accounting application menu. However, these are not originally master data for Profit Center Accounting. On the contrary, the integration of the SAP system makes it possible for you to access the FI and CO master data directly.
The assignments of all profit‑relevant objects to profit centers play an important role. These determine how your business is divided up into areas of responsibility. You make these assignments in the master data of the original objects (materials, cost centers, orders, projects, sales orders, assets, cost objects, profitability segments).

Consolidations Question for Entities and Profit Centers

I'm currently at a client who has a requirement for Legal Entity and Profit Centers within the same application. They also want to see Consolidated results through LE and PC viewpoints. Essentially a "MATRIX" Consolidation.
Unfortunately they have many PC's and many LE's and they cross each other. Thus if we combined the dimensions it would be quite unwieldy (not to mention not sure how to handle the ownership between a LE/PC combo).
I've been told the only other way to handle this maybe through two separate applications, but that is something the client is against. Apparently the MATRIX consolidation is possible in BCS but quite tricky in BPC?
Thanks,
Pras

Hi Pras,
In BPC there is no 'standard' solution for matrix consolidation. There are two workarounds which you already mentioned:
- combining the two dimensions into one, assuming there are not to many combinations ...
- performing the consolidation twice in two seperate applications ...
If you want to achieve a matrix consolidation within one application and multiple intco dimensions, you wll have to write your own script logic, which probably can be done, but will consume a lot of efforts ... If this really is the requirement one perhaps should look for Cartheis or SEM BCS?

G/L Account Line Items/ Profit Centers/ FBL3N/ F.5D/1KEK/KE5Z/BalanceSheet?

Hi Experts,
Am running FBL3N-G/L Line Item Display, and am trying to get PROFIT CENTERS for Balanace sheet type of accounts, but Its not showing up.
But, am getting for Profit Loss accounts.
1) Why its so?
2) Then How to get the PROFIT CENTERS for them? (I know they r available, in BSEG)
3) Functional owner said(tele talk, no voice clear!!!) that, the Profit Centers are NOT get updated UNTIL month end, unless run the F.5D, 1KEK, KE5Z tx.s., which inturn system copies the profit centers(I dont know that, From where it copies) and posts/updates(I dont know, Wht get updated?), so, he said, relying on ??(is it BSEG??????) is not works out!!
So, let me know that,
Wht does its mean? Wht NOt get updated until month end?unless run the F.5D, 1KEK, KE5Z tx.s? Is it DataBase? BSEG?
4) Is BSEG table get updated, as soon as any FICO document ceated by user? I mean, Can I relay on BSEG always, for pulling the profit centers data for Balance sheet accounts, all the time?
5) If NOT, them Where Can I find them?

Hi Srinivas,
You have to declare balance sheet accounts as relevant for PCA inside 3KEH transaction in config. So you mark the balance sheet accounts that should appear in PCA in 3KEH with a default profit center which can be overwritten with the use entry.
Fixed Assets, AR/AP and WIP can be transferred into PCA at the monthend. PCA is a separate ledger, has its own set of tables and reports. Inventory and other balance sheet accounts are posted into PCA online.
Hope this helps.

Multiple Profit Centers in ISU

Hi All,
We are implementing SAP ISU for an Energy business which has multiple profit centers. In EK02 for a combination of Main Transaction , Sub Transaction , Account Determination ID , we can assign only one profit center.Now I want to generate Invoice from multiple profit centers but the Revenue GL Account will be same for all Profit Centers.So I want to know whether mapping of multiple profit centers with same GL account is possible in anyway.Account determination id I cannot use to achieve the same as account determination id is used for subledger code.
Thanks in Advance,
Banasri

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
I am elaborating the scenario as below:
In my company I will create around 50 profit centers but the revenue GLs are same for all the profit centers.Now in EK02 , the key parameters are Co.Code/Division/Main Transaction/Sub Transaction/Acct Determination Id.
Now for invoicing , I will use Main/Sub - 0100/0002.This main/sub will be used in 50 profit centers with same GL.But if I don't change any of the key parameters in EK02 , then I cannot change either the CO Acct Assignment key or GL Account.So only option remains is to use 50 Acct Determination Ids for 50 profit centers.But again these Acct Determination Ids are more relevant for sub-ledger code.So my question is whether there is any other way of assigning 50 profit centers to same main/sub , other than manipulating Acct Determination Ids.
Thanks,
Banasri

CO Account Assignments have different profit centers while doing AFAB

Hello Everyone,
I am facing an error while running a depreciation run.. I run AFAB and schedule the background job but it gets cancelled with a message "CO Account Assignments have different profit centers".
Now, the spool is not showing any errors and I am not able to trace that where am I getting stuck up!
Can there be a possibility of different profit centers to one posting of asset? If so, how?
Your help is awaited!
Thanks a lot,
Ankush

HI
Check the profit centers of the cost center ad that of the order , if these 2 are different then it has to also post in FI since Profit centers has been attched to FI unless you have defined adjustment a/cs for transaction between profit centers it will not allow the transaction

Default profit centers Plant wise for Balance Sheet tax relevant Items.

Dear All,
We have an issue in profit center acccounting.
In balance sheet accounts, Vat input tax payable, TDS payable, Cenvat clearing etc are picking profit center from 3KEH. When Exicse is getting captured cenvat clearing account having the profit center but while doing the MIRO cenvat clearing do not have profit center & plant.
Why it is so?
Basically we are doing the following steps.
1. Purchase order creation ME21N.
2.Goods received via migo
3. invoice receipt via miro.
At the time of miro posting, system creates automatically accounting document, with default profit center maintained in 3KEH, which are assigned to Vat input tax payable, TDS payable, other tax accounts. For GR/IR clearing account right profit center is picking without any mistake, while doing MIGO & MIRO.
We need to extract the Balance Sheet profit center wise at plant level.
Derivation rule is created for this balance sheet account along with Valuation area condition to post to correct profit center maintained under Tcode: 3KEI . But system is taking only default profit center (3KEH).
I have checked configuration and the following areas like Material master costing view, tax code areas, and account group but did not find any mistake.
Please advice and Guide us, how to get correct profit center at plant level for these balance sheet accounts instead of default. (I want to make default profit centers plant wise).
It is urgent.
Thanks,
Shailendra Gupta.

hi
how to get balance sheet report for profit centers, is there any transcation code to get that report or i need to create a report painter report for this

Hi,
You can use T. code KE5Z for actual line items.
More to this you can use program RFBILA10 (Use T. code SE38 and program RFBILA10) for complete blance sheet.
The transaction is for special purpose ledger but this program RFBILA10 can be used for profit center balance also.
In selection, you can give ledger name which is generally 8A for profit center ledger.

Mass Activation for Profit Centers

Hi
I have two company codes (1000 & 2000). Now each company code had different profit centers. But i was able to use each others' profit center. (For ex: I was able to post in company code 1000 using profit center related to company code 2000).
Hence i removed the tick in profit center to company code assignment. After removing tick, when i saved it, it saved into inactive status.
So i will have to manually activate all the profit centers. There are around 2200 profit centers. So manual activation of profit center is not possible. Please help.

Hi,
You can try these transactions:
KE55 ---> treatment collective profit centers for master data
KE56 ---> treatment collective profit centers for company code

Profit Centers for Raw Materials

Hi Experts,
I would like to know in general which profit center will be used in raw materials. For example raw material, say sugar, it can be used in finished product A and finished product B, its like a shared service, in this case which profit center needs to be assigned. Will there a P&L taken in these profit centers.
Also for cost centers, in a production line, there are can be different product lines can be manufactured, for eg finished product A different product line and finished product B different product line manufactured in one common cost center. In this case which profit center will be used in this common manufacturing cost center.
Apart from assignment, should we perform some month end allocation and stuff like that.
Thanks.
Best Regards,
GJ.

Hi,
If the raw material is shared by 2 product to manufactured then use the common profit center for raw material .

Lock indicator for Profit Centers

Hello,
I have a problem with the Transaction KCH5n, KE52 and KE5X. If I change the Lock indicator for Profit Centers in the Transaktion KCH5n I can not see the changing of that indicator within the report KE5X. The lock indicator is still as it was before that changing. Furthermore, I have the same result in table CEPC - no changing.
However, if I make the changing in Trx KE52 I can see it in all Trx's and tables.
Does somebody has had that problem before as well and know a solution
Thx in advance
Ruediger
Edited by: Ruediger Steinberg on Mar 27, 2008 6:28 PM
PS that happened on 4.6c

Have you activated it after you locked it? First it goes to inactive status. In KCH5N once you have set the indicator, the activation status goes red. Select that profit center and then click on activate icon. A dialog box appears with the check box enabled for that changed profit center. Click on green tick icon to activate.

Intercompany Billing for multiple Profit centers

Dear All,
We have a situation to do intercompany (company a to company b) billing without extending material. Also, maintain one plant to maintain stocks that is in company a. Customer place the order in company b system will do billing without maintaining any stocks in company b so our requirement is to generate profit centre wise P/Ll for company a & company b.
Any suggestion to overcome this scenario ?
Regards,
Madhawa

Thanks for your interest.
The requirement is based on the following objectives:
1) Reductiion in the number of plants
2) This is required coz a stock may be lying at a particular location (plant) which can serve as a common stock for all Business units (Profit Centers). Since it is in the same plant, there will be no requirement for stock trf. (goods issue & goods receipt) But then it should facilitate assignment of the profit centers. I strongly believe that could be easily dealt with sales order related production (MTO) through substitution rules but I have doubts about MTS coz i cant find any substitution rules configs.
I hope it clarifies the requirement

Hi Lisa,
When you go to f.05 screen and give custmer and vendor account ( all accounts ) go to dynamic selection and restrict the profit center and reconciliation accounts. Hope this will solve your problem
