Hai,
1. You can make the field MARC-PRCTR as a required field for a field ref either for matl type or a transaction codes, by selecting field group 48 in Tcodes OMSR or OMS9.
2.If the profit center is made as a mandatory field then you have to define the profit center in IMG - Enterprise structure - Definition - Financial Accting - Define profit center & Define Segments.
3. This profit center should be assigned to the company code in IMG - Enterprise structure. Best you have to consult with FICO consultants to do this.

Problem with material master

HI
I am trying to change the material master profit centre but the system is giving me the error message
You want to change the profit centre but there are still material stocks
So Kindly help me with this
This is little urgent

u cannot change the mmr if there is any stock exist,any open orders (mm,sd,fi) exist.
to chage the mmr u have to make the stock zero and also close all the open orders.
solution is either create a new material.
or u can create a dummy material codethen transfer the stock to the dummy material code-close all the open orders-change the profit centre in the original material code-then again transfer the stock from the dummy material code to the original material code and delete the dummy material code.

Material Master: Division and Profit Centre

Hello,
In the material master, is it possible to have combination of Profit centre with respect to Division?
(that is for perticular Division only certain Profit centres will be applicable)

No not possible. Both are separate entries. Business area is now obsolete. Profit centre wise P&L and balance sheets can be made. Profit centres are generally at plant level while business area is at product level. There is nothing to assign them together.
Thanks

As you have cited that the profit Center set in Material Master record is different to the value available at Sales Order, please check in following points:-
1:- Check the Change History log of the particular Sales Order.
2:- Check whether there are any User exit being used which is altering the value of Profit Center of the Sales Order with the help of Technical consultant.
Kindly share you observation based upon these above pointers.

Hi.
Please follow the steps below:
(1) Check the Field reference in OMS2 for the material Type you are using.
(2) Go to OMS9 , Select Your Field Selection Group and Press Details Button. This Field would be optional. Now check a mandatory selection Group in this screen.
(3) Now Go to T. Code OMSR and check the Selection Group for MARC-PRCTR. Then change the Screen Group number to the mandatory selectio found in step 2.
Now check the the Profit centre in material master. It will become a mandatory field now.

Change profit centre in material master

Dear all,
How to change profit centre in material master with stock(opening balance - 561 stock ?
What are implications of changing profit centre in material master ?
Jeyakanthan

In standard SAP it is possible to change the profit center at any time.
However this will create inconsistencies in your profit center accounting. Hence you should issue all stock first to a cost center with 201 movement, then change the profit center, then get the material back with 202 movement.
You need to make MM335 message an error message in OMT4 to allow a change only if there is no stock
If you dont follow this way, then you create inconsistencies in profit center accounting.
Because...you received your stock without profit center (actually it is a certain default profit center), if you then change the PC in your material, then each issue will be posted to the new PC, while it never had a receipt.

Many thanks
Mark.

Is it possible to have multiple profit centres on a material master?
No it is not possible to have multiple Profit center for a single material master, only one can be maintained either of 3 views
A. Costing 1
B. Sales
c. Plant/storage location
or do you have to extend the material master to another plant first?
You can extend Material master to another plant and their you can add new profit center, if the profitability is at Plant level.Which is standard and widely used in business.

Raw material profit centre document is not generated

Hi All
When i maintain profit centre in raw material and do GR/IR, only accounting doc is generated. The profit centre mentioned in material is reflected against both accounts in the entry. (rm inventory a/c and GR/IR clearing a/c)
When I go and see report of that particular profit centre I dont see any posting. Why is it so?
Can u help me out?
Regards
Rakesh

I am certain that a profit center document gets created for materials that have moving average price.
If the profit center in the material master was entered after the goods receipt, then the amount is still posted to a default profit center, but not to the profit center you expect.
first find your movement in MB51 or in purchase order history tab of ME23N.
Beeing in the material document, click the finance documents button at header level in document info tab. A pop-up appears where you have to select to where to go, either to the accounting doc or to the profit center document.
If you see this profit center doc in this pop-up, then you can be sure that it is posted to a profit center. go into this document to see to which profit center the posting was made.

Hi,
Profit center is at the plant level.
You can create material master even with out a profit center.This field will be there in the costing view and and general sales/plant data.
while creation of the materila master if do not select these views system will not ask for that.Normally it is pertaining to the costing analysis.
A profit center manager is held accountable for both revenues, and costs (expenses), and therefore, profits. What this means in terms of managerial responsibilities is that the manager has to drive the sales revenue generating activities which leads to cash inflows and at the same time control the cost (cash outflows) causing activities. This makes the profit center management more challenging than cost centre management. Profit center management is equivalent to running an independent business because a profit center business unit or department is treated as a distinct entity enabling revenues and expenses to be determined and its profitability to be measured.
Business organizations may be organized in terms of profit centers where the profit center's revenues and expenses are held separate from the main company's in order to determine their profitability. Usually different profit centers are separated for accounting purposes so that the management can follow how much profit each center makes and compare their relative efficiency and profit. Examples of typical profit centers are a store, a sales organization and a consulting organization whose profitability can be measured.

Profit Center field in Material Master

Hi all
We have 9 plants. In 2 plants we want to do profit center field (MARC-PRCTR) mandatory in material master plant date/stor. 2 view. There is any user exit or setting required?
Please guide
Regards

Hi,
The path told in above reply is correct but making profit centre mandatory for only two plants is not possible.
You can make it mandatory for specified Material Type or you can make it mandatory while doing selected Transaction Like MM01 or MM02 etc
