Make Profit Centre mandatory

Hi,
Our client wants to make the field for Profit Centre mandatory while document entry for the GL's related to Balance Sheet.
Although one can do it through the FSG but my question is that if there is any other way than going thru the tedious task of checking each Balance Sheet GL to know the FSG and make the Profit Centre field as mandatory ?
Is there a option at Account group level to do this instead ?
Please share your experiences.
Regards,

Can anybody let me know how to do the validation for my requirement.
I've reached upto the stage where i have - PREREQUISITES / CHECK/MESSAGE thing..
I've tried to do some experiment with other posts in sdn to see how it works but could not succeed.
A detailed answer with complete steps and logic behind it will be of great help.
We use 4.7
Thanks,

MAKING PROFIT CENTRE MANDATORY FIELD IN ECC 6.00 AFTER GOLIVE

Can we activate the Profit centre mandatory field for all the entries after the system gone live?.   The details are as under:
1.     System : ECC 6.00
2.     Document splitting activated without making Profit Centre Mandatory field.
If we are going to activate now, system is throwing a very strong message of Data Inconsistency and informing us not to change the settings now.
Is there any other way where in we can make Profit Centre a mandatory field.
Appreciate if any one who worked on this / has knowledge on this please revert back on the solution.

Hi
You should raise an OSS message and take SAP's support...
If you add any new dimension now, all the previous docs where PC was not populated would throw an error during clearing, payments, etc
You might be having PC as a doc spliting char already, but if you did not make it mandatory, then chances are that some docs might have been posted w/o PC

How to make Profit Center Mandatory

Dear Sir,
We are using New GL functionality in ECC-6 . During Document Splitting we desire that Profit Center must be mandatory , so that no entry is posted in "Non Assigned Profit Center"

Hi Sonia,
May i know for which account assign object u are planning for document splitting, if you want doucment splitting for profit center. In "Define document splitting Characteristics for GL Accounting" step u has to specify Profit Center in the -field, PPRCTR in Partner field and select "Madatory field" check box. I think this will help to a extent.

How to make profit centre restriction in GR55 reports.

Hello,
I am facing one problem, in the systems when users are using reports from gr55 transactions they are able to see the figures or data from other profit centre.
these users have roles which have profit center restrictions. but still they are able to see the data of different profit centre.
Any budy tell me which outhorization object need to be modified.to put profit center restrictions on the transaction.(GR55).
Regards,
Bhavesh

> But before that, you need to change the check indicator for these objects from Check to Check-Maintain in SU24.
That wont change much from an access perspective. It only changes the PFCG proposals and generates urban legends...
You need to make the generated tcode known to the system (see [SAP Note|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1254159] and check it.
Which object you check is freely definably in coding (with all consequences of not doing so..).
Im my opinion, reporting belongs in a BI system anyway... There you can use granular and flexible concepts.
Transaction systems are for FB01...:-)

Save
And Activate Validation.

Suggestions for improving adaptibility of Profit Centre functionality

Hi,
I have recently introduced the Profit Centre functionality in my customer organisation.
I found that by incorporating following feature will help in a big way for implementation of this feature.
1.There should be a setting in configuration (may be document wise or General), whether the Profit Centre (Distibution Rule) is mandatory or optional ? Y/N.
2.Provison for setting up default profit centre against Items(Sales/Purchase).
By introduction of above two setting SAP B1 customer organisation will be able to easily implement the profit centre functionality.Because the control will remain with the administrator to make profit centre/Distribution Rule entry mandatory in all transactions effecting accounts and as default distribution will come from Item master so users will happily adopt this functionality, and the Management will receive the important and difficult to prepare information.
Hope the SAP B1 Product development will team accept this and consider this development request for future release.
Thanking in Advance,

Hello Samir,
As suggested at the other thread, you can utilize 'Post Transaction Notification' feature of MS SQL. This can help you to set any validation for most of the fields, objects and actions in the product incl. Profit Centers.
We are planning certain enhancements regarding Cost Accounting functionality for the next major releases after 8.8. We'll consider your idea as a part of it.

Profit Center Mandatory in Cost Center Master

Hi Expert!
I would like to know the configuration path to make the option Profit Center Mandatory in cost center master data.
Thanks
J

If you have activated profit center accounting and if you leave profit center blank in the cost center master, system issues a warning message at the time of saving. You can convert this message to error to make profit center mandatory.
The message number is KS096. It can be configured in transaction code OBA5. Choose application area KS. Insert message 096 and select the desired message type (E for error or W for warning).

Document which does not contain profit centre

Dear Gurus,
We are using New Gl and Document splitting using profit centre. But while inter segment transaction system allows automatically created line item(TDS) with out profit centre. now i want to delete that document or update profit centre in that line item how can we do that?
How we will restrict system from allowing such documents to post?
Regards,
Devesh Chaudhari.

Dear Devesh
Pls check the assignment of Segment in Profit Centre.
Better you reverse the existing document and post again.
Enable checkbox as profit centre is mandatory in step "Document splitting characterstics in GL Accounting" or write a validation with profit centre mandatory.

2.Whether "Profit Center" or "Cost Center" to make mandatory and to which GL.

Hi
A good way to make this Check compulsory in case Document Splitting is active in your system.
Follow the path
IMG>Financial Accounting (New)>General Ledger Accounting (New)>Business Transactions>Document Splitting>Define Document Splitting Chracteristics for General Ledger Accounting.
Here you can make splitting active for Both business Area and profit center.
If any where in the posting system does not find either of Business Area or Profit Center, it would give an error
Thanks & regards

Need Profit centre field as mandatory field in the sales order

Dear All,
Normally Profit center data maintained in the material master, same data will get coipied to the sales order while creating sales order in VA01 transaction.
My requirement is if profit center data is not maintained/available in the sales order system should give the error message
For this I need Profit center field as mandatory field in the sales order(VA01).
Can you please give possibilities ASAP.
Give the SHD0 maintenance step by step.
Regards,
Murali.

Hi Murali
I beleive that you are talking about the Profit centre field not maintined in sales order hence not picked in delivery and billing and there is an FI posting error (GL account error) because of that
Profit centre is maintained in MMR and the same flows thro the sales cycle and i am quite sure if maintained in MMR it will be picked automatically and no need to make it mandatory in sales order( as the purpose is already solved)
But there is no standard option in SAP like (even if Account assignment category of the material is not maintained in MMR it can be given in VF02 and the document can be released for accounting) to give the Profit centre in the billing and release the same
Profit centre field field is picked from masters and flows in the entire flow and that field is greyed out (like no option of inserting it inbetween)
As told by others incompletion log in sales doc type will take care for future orders and for the already created orders the standard option is cancel billing, reverse delivery and open the sales order and give Profit centre field and process it (if only a few orders are there)
But if the already created orders are many then from the FI Area you need to go for development ( we also faced this issue as profit center not maintained in MMRs and hence accounting got hit and there were tons of billing docs and our FI consultant made some development to open it and solve it) FI consultant should be able to do this for already created orders
Instead of making Profit centre field as mandatory field in the sales order better make it a mandatory entry in MMR
Regards
Raja
