Material master with profit center

Dear All,
Pl advice me regarding following - (Version - ECC 6.0 with Doc Splitting Active)
The client is into Engg, Construction industry. We are having Project System. There are around 20-30 projects going on. Client wants to track receivables / payables on Each Project along with the Profit & Loss Statement for the project.
1) Decided to create each project as a Profit Center.
2) Problem is with material code & plant.
3) To track material / vendor transactions Project wise - EACH Project can be created as a Plant. So we can maintain Plant wise data for each material & maintain the Profit Center in Plant Data.
But we want to avoide creating Number of Plants. Instead planning to create only One Plant & create number of storage locations = number of Projects.
Here the Material / Vendor Transactions will be posted (in General Ledger view) with Only common Profit Center maintained in Material master.
Can we overcome this? Can we derive the Project wise Profit center some where from Srorage location or any other area (using substitution etc) without affecting sanctity of Document Splitting Function?
Pl help. This is very important.
Thanks,
mukesh

Hi
The basic purpose of having plants is to have different valuation area. Unless you define your project sites as individual site how you are planning to handle the inventory/procurement/payment of each project separately. ForvBalance sheets you need to have plant for each site. Moreover Storage Locations are virtual and does not help you in balance sheet calculation. materials can be extended to all plants with individual prices and other unique values as ity differs from plant to plant if not all at least price will vary.

I want validation while creating material master with profit center

Dear Experts,
I want validation while creating material master with profit center.
If 0001 plant having 100100 profit center
0002 plant having 200200 profit center
Material A cant be created for 0001 plant for with wrong profit center 200200.
Kindly help & provide me solution clearly

Hi,
Profit centers are assigned to controlling areas. And controlling areas can have many plants under them. So as long as both the plants and profit centers are in the same controlling area users will be able to extend the materials.
You should put in your validation control in the material master user exit. One of the exits you can use is
MGA00001 Material Master (Industry): Checks and Enhancements

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.

Whether PO Creation,GRN & MIRO Possible for material w/o Profit Center ?

Hai SAP Gurus,
Whether PO Creation,GRN & MIRO Possible for material w/o Profit Center ?
1) I want control it. So no user can create a Master without profit Center even select Basic Data 1 & Basic Data 2..
kindly Guide me clearly

You asked a similar question in your previous thread
Re: Is it possible to Create Material Master without Profit Center ?
You can make the profit center field Mandatory , steps have been specified in the above thread.
Profit center field comes in "General plant data storage 2" view and "sales plant data" views only. so if a material is made with basic 1,2 views only , it wont come into the picture. But that shouldnt be a problem , coz its not Possible to create PO.GRN and MIRO for a material with only Basic views.

Profit center in accounting document is differ with profit center in PO

Dear Expert,
I have created 2 PO. 1 PO is with material number, and the other PO is without material number. both PO have account assignment category H ( Cost Center - COGS)
I also have created 2 MIGO with reference to each of the PO. but when I checked the FI document in Material document I found that the profit center in accounting document is different with profit center in PO - this problem only occur for PO with material number. Profit center displayed in accounting document is refer to ZOKB9 (user exit)
Material ledger is active for this material number.
My question is what may cause the different profit center in accounting document and in PO?
How to solve it?
Thanks
Pauline

HI,
possible reasons are :
In GR document profit center pulled from PO Material :
If you have ordered with material code, must check profit center assigned into material by mm03/Plant Data2
If you have ordered without material code, than check cost center assigned Profit center by 1KE4

Project with profit center was not created for entire period

Hi everybody,
I need a help with a problem here.
The alert mesage "project with profit center was not created for entire period" was displayed.
Then I searched for the creation dates and the profit center was created before the project gets its firsts postings. Therefore, some line itens don't exist in profit center (ledgers).
My two questions:
The first one, is it possible to input line itens in a retroactive way?
Everytime I need to use the project master data this alert is displayed. How can I fix avoid this message?
Thanks,

Hi,
Regarding your issue, it is theoretically possible to reverse all settlements up to the start of the project and then to settle again it
is a must to check in standard if the profit center is valid from the project start date onwards.
Check the attached note 1048945.
The system generates error message KM700 ('Profit center <PRCTR> does not exist for <date>') when you enter a profit center on a project definition if the profit center is not valid in the entire period between the basic start and the basic finish date of the project definition . However, only one warning message should only be generated in this case.

Report For list of material Master with PO text

Hi all,
I need a report whether it is available in Standard SAP or a customized, for List of Material Master with their PO text.
If any one can help, please reply to this theard.
Regards,
Kapil Kulkarni

To get the material number combined with the PO text you will need the help of an ABAP programmer. The programmer can create a report for you using the function module READ_TEXT in the function group STXD. The tables to use are:
STXH - STXD SAPscript text file header
STXL - STXD SAPscript text file lines
The selection screen should have at least the following:
OBJECT - STXH-TDOBJECT
NAME - STXH-TDNAME
LANGUAGE - STXH-TDSPRAS
TEXTID - STXH-TDID
You find the information for these fields by going to the PO text entry screen and displaying the header information under Goto -> Header. For materials, the object is MATERIAL, the name is "material number", the language is "EN", and the text ID is BEST. You can use this program to get long text in lots of places like information records, purchase order texts, etc.
Hope this helps.

Problem with Profit Center

Hello all,
I have a problem with changing the profit center in material master record. I have changed the profit center in material master record and saved the MMR. Then I posted a goods receipt document for this material. When I displayed the GR document, I found that the system is still taking the old profit center. Its not taking the new profit center which I updated in MMR. Kindly advise me whether I need to change the Profit center at any other place also???
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Umakanth.

Hi,
Is your PO raised before changing Profit center in MMR.
After changing Profit center, raise new PO and check with GR.

PP Production orders link with Profit Center

hi experts
we are working on Projects based scenario and Production is doing in the same way, we mentioned profit center in Project WBS element, but my requirement same profit profit center should be link to production order.
what are the settings need to be done please help
thanks in advance
Sing

Dear Slng,
In my understanding if you have assigned a profit center in the material master under Costing1 view then it get's copied
automatically into the production order which can be seen under Assignment tab page of the production order.
This is the process when you create a production order from a planned order using CO41/CO41 or by creating a production
order manually using CO01.
Check and revert back.

Vendor Line item with Profit Center

Hi
I am in ECC6.0 with New GL. Now in FBL1N, we do not get profit center field in line items. Even though it is displayed, field remains empty.
For GL balances instead of FBL3N, there is FAGLL03. But there is no such code for Vendor
TCode: S_AC0_52000888 - Payables: Profit Center is not useful. Is there any other report.

Hi,
That's standard behaviour of the system; profit centre is not filled for vendor/customer tables.

Vendor Clearing with Profit center

Hi All,
We have requirement as below:
While making vendor payment our client wants to choose Profit center as a sorting option.
Vendor bill booking (MIRO/FB60) level Profit center is updated in the General ledger view. But it's not showing while clearing the same bill (F-53) by choosing profit center as a Sorting field.
At the time of Bill booking (MIRO/FB60) at entry level Profit center is not updated. By using New General Ledger we get the respective profit centers in vendor line items, those are derived from the GL accounts line items. ( expense /GRIR Lines) and it is with this profit center that the journal entries are created in FI
We are getting Profit center at General ledger view level but not the Entry level. So at the time of vendor payment (F-53) we are not getting the Profit center wise vendor invoice details.
We have identified possible solutions as below, but nothing was worked out. So can you please suggest the possible options.
Book the invoice (MIRO/FB60) by entering profit center in Non valuated fields (Reference, Document header text, Assignment and Reference key1/2/3 etc). In this case lets use Reference Key3 and make this field as a mandatory field for substitute Profit center field in Vendor line item level. But later we identified that Reference Key3 is using for "As a part of SAP Thai localization, a withholding tax certificate number is stored in the Reference Key 3 field of the vendor item" So we can't use reference key 3. Remaining Ref key fields are using for some other purpose.
Thanks in advance.
Prasad

Dear Prasad,
Why dont you make cheque issue accounts of all profit centers as fixed in T.code FAGL3KEH so that at GL view you can see profit center
