Maintain Profit center and Plant

Helloo all,
We have One Company code 1xxx, one profit center 1xxx, and plants are 21xx, 31xx. To map a scenario need to maintain two different profit center seperatly for each plant. ie.
plant    Profit cntr.
21xx    1xxx
31xx    2xxx
1st i would like to know is there specific setting or rule is to be done to maintain plant or profit.
2nd During creation of Material code by MM01 if i select plant 21xx and profit center 2xxx (Different as per maintained), system not giving any kind of error message (profit center doest not exit)
how it will be done.
Please suggest

Profit Centers are Company Code specific. Unless you use a user exit that does the check there is no way of making profit center plant specific. You should put the Profit centers in material master to seperate the plants and get the correct postings.

Linking profit center and plant

Hi
I have two profit centers (1000 and 2000) and two plants (1001 and 2001). Each profit center represents each plant.
Now when i am creating material master or post any FI entry, I am able to put profit center 1000 and plant 2001. SAP is allowing this combination.
I want to restrict this combination. I want that if i use profit center 1000 then it should not allow plant other than 1001 or vice a versa (i.e. when i create any material in 1001, it should only allow profit center 1000).
How bring this restriction. Is there any plant to profit center linkage in Standard SAP.

Hi,
it's a standard setting that profit center is company code dependent. You assign it to specific company code ( or more of them).
Additionally you assign plants to company code and system is doing the check for you. You cannot put a profit center which not belongs to specific company code so indirectly to specific plant.

Unable to update profit center or plant code in the customer line item

Hi,
We require the profit center and plant code and division in FI
documents (Posted through billing document or through direct FI entry)
We are unable to input plant or profit center in the customer line item
while using F-21 or any other FI transaction
The plant and profit center is not appearing even in customer line item
in RV document (From SD billing)
We have made the Field status group as optional for the reconcilation
accounts.

Hi
Profit center / cost center are generally entered in revenue & expense line items (P&L items). Customer / vendor master and line items are balance sheet items which will not show profit / cost centers.

There is no assignment of plant to profit center directly, however you can use derivation rule to get this assignment.Use transaction 3KEH and 3KEI for the same.

Functionality of Profit Center and Cost Center

Hi,
I am unable to understand the functionality of Profit center and cost center, I know that cost center represents area within an organization for which you will like to see the expenses for a particular time period. for example in an organisation we have three cos centers Accounts, HR and Admin. whenever you post an accounting document in FI you will specify the cost center to which the expense relates. but in some cases when you post an expense and give the relative cost center the profit center is also driven by the system. why is this behavior? i mean i have posted an expense not an income then why is system driving the profit center as well?
Profit centers are used if you want to see the profit of different area of your organisation. in what kind of postings we use profit center? and if we could use profit center to draw income and loss for a specific area why do we need segment reporting? and what is the difference between Segment and Business area. what i understood from their definition is that they are both same and use for same purpose.
I am totally lost in these concepts. please some one help me out with an example. i am stuck at this point. some one please clarify my concept of Profit Center, Cost Center, Segments and business area please.

Hi,
Cost center & Profit Center are organizational units within the enterprise structure , created for better internal control.
As the name suggests Cost Center is the lowest level of the organizational unit representing a defined location of cost incurrence or otherwise to which you can meaningfully assign the cost(both direct & Indirect).
Profit Center is an organizational unit in accounting ,where management would require to see the profitability & fix the responsibility. It may be each plant/division of the company .
If you consider the Plant is the Profit center, you can take the various deptts in the Plant as cost centers. you can draw a balance sheet & profit & loss account statement at profit center level but this will be for your internal use.From this you can know the ROI on particular area. Profit centers are assigned inside the cost center so when you update cost center, profit centers are updated automatically.
Where as Segments are used for legal reporting of your accounting standard as per IFRS. Both Business Area & Segments are more or less same with some technical difference.
Business area is a free organizational unit. It can be derived through cost center or can be entered manually.
But segment is a dependent organizational unit. It is defined & attached inside the profit center master data. It can’t be entered manually.
SAP suggest to use the Segment concept.
Thanks & regards

Assignment Profit Center to Plant on material master for Production Order

Hi Experts
Can you help me !
Now I'm trying to lock a profit center to the plant.I've tried searching on the standard menu and customizing but do not get it ?
How to assignment profit center to plant or plant to profit center.
Regards
Dodo M

Hello Dodo,
1.
You can make an assigment between the profit center and the plant in Customizing (SPRO) in two steps (through the company code), under the following menu path:
Step 1:
Enterprise Structure
Assignment
Financial Accounting
Assign Profit Center to Company Code
Step 2:
Enterprise Structure
Assignment
Logistics - General
Assign plant to company code
So, first you assign the profit center to the company code, then you assign the plant to the company code.
2.
Or you can use the Enhancement MGA00001 for implementing your own check in function module EXIT_SAPLMGMU_001.
You can also check the following help to understand the relationships in details:

Create an infopackage per hierarchy!!!!! - press the button available hirachies from OLTP - click the one you want on the left - fire it off
Then repeat new infopackages for all hierachies

Cost Center and Plant

Hi Guys,
Is there any R/3 table that gives relations between Cost Center and Plants?
Thanks

The plant is an operating area or branch within a company and is assigned to a single company code. A company code can have several plants.
The plant plays an important role in the following areas: a) Material valuation
b) Inventory management c) MRP d) Production e) Costing (material prices valuation)
A Cost center is an organizational unit within a Controlling area that represents a defined location to identify where a cost is being incurred. or an area of Responsibility for costs
If you happen to run transaction KSB1 for a cost center, where plant field is not blank, you may find some material transaction. These are trasnactions which could involve both plant and a cost center.
