NEW GL: profit center allocation cross company codes possible?

F-Hi,
In PCA the allocations are postes by company code - also the tracing factors are calculated by company code. In NEW GL, can the profit center allocation (transaction FAGLGA11) be done cross company, including the calculation of the tracing factors. Here is my example.
profit center     Company code     cost center     Posted amounts
P00010     02                           200010     1.000,00
P00010     03                           300010     2.000,00
P00010     05                           500010     4.000,00
P00010 Total                                   7.000,00
P40100     02                          240100        10,00
P40100     03                           340100         5,00
P40100     05                          540100         5,00
P40100 Total                                       20,00
P40200     02                           240200        20,00
P40200     03                           340200        30,00
P40200     05                           540200        20,00
P40200 Total                                       70,00
Purpose of the cycle in PCA:
Split the amount of profit center P00010 on to P40100 and P40200
with a ratio of what is posted already on those 2, cross company
So we should expect to split the 7.000 in to
     20/(20+70) from 7.000 = 1.555 for P40100
     70/(20+70) from 7.000 = 5.445 for P40200
But the program allocates by company code:
split     1.000     by ratio 10/20
     2.000     by ratio 5/30
     4.000     by ratio 5/20
OR, because we are in NEW GL, is the solution a rollup ledger with a global company code?
Thanks
Yves Kieckens

Hi,
I have sent an OSS message and they replied that it is not possible. There is a note about classic PCA indicating that cross company is not possible, and the same concept is valid for NEW GL.
I haven't done the solution via rollup ledger because not enough experience in my network.
We have done some specific programming in the upload of the statistical key figures as a workaround solution.

Derive profit center in cross company code transaction into clearing items

Dears,
I have one condition where I want to copy profit center from first line item to second line item in a cross company code transaction for example.
I have two company codes XX10 and XX20
two profit centers XX50 for company code XX10 and XX60 for company code XX20
I am creating cross company code transaction. Now I want when giving XX50 for company code XX10 so upon creating cross company line items this profit center given in first line be copied automatically in the cross company code line item accordingly.
example:
Dr company code XX10 with profit center XX50
Cr company code XX20 with profit center XX60
Required:
These profit centers be copied automatically in the cross company line items automatically. I am using same controlling area as the company code not cross company codes.

Ya right , but when i am trying to post the enteries , the clearing item is having different profit center ( i.e which i have assigned in the t.code FAGL3KEH ), but the vendor line item is still taking the dummy profit center.
Vendor line item should actually take the profit center from the clearing line item ... but it it not taking ..

Profit Center Substitution - cross company code sales

Hi all,
For each cross company sale, there are 2 invoices: intercompany and regular invoice. The intercompany invoice picks up the profit center but it does not show up on the regular invoice.
I am trying to use profit center substitutions to resolve this, but I'm not sure if this is the correct procedure. Reading note 815972, it seems like there is another method but I don't understand how this works.
Can someone explain this to me or has anyone done this before? What is the best practice?
Thanks

Has anyone ever used profit center substitution for this situation? We would like the profit center on the customer invoice to be the same as that on the intercompany invoice. Should we do a user exit in the profit center subsitution, or is there another way?
Thanks

1. Change profit center 1000 using transaction KE52 to extend it to company code 2000 as well.
2. Make sure the following configuration exists in IMG Path: Financial Accounting (New) -> General Ledger Accounting (New) -> Business Transactions -> Document Splitting -> Extended Document Splitting -> Define Document Splitting Rule.
For your document splitting method (you can see the method in your system from the node 'Assign Document Splitting Method'), Transaction 0300 (Vendor Invoice), the following item categories exist.
01100     Company Code Clearing     CC = CC of leading item
01100     Company Code Clearing     CC <> CC of leading item

No posting cannot be made in profit center 3000 in company code 1000

Hi All,
we are facing small issue in profit center accounting, below i will explain the scnario.
we have 2 existng company code like 1000 and 2000 with once controlling area, now we rollout another company code 3000 recently, for each compnay code we have different and saperate profit centers and profit center group, with same controlling area,
In new company code 3000 we created one profit center like product 1,
In existing company code like 1000 and 2000 when we are doing MIRO and derepication AFAB system giving error like
No posting can be made to profit center Product 1 in company code 1000 for MIRO
No posting can be made to profit center Produtct 1 in company code 2000 for AFAB.
but this profit center is created for 3000 company code. why system is picking product 1 profit center for existing company code.
can any one helpout for the issue.
thank & regards
kiran

Hi,
Trace the transactions of the Depreciation to the asset to the cost center to the respective profit center. And, also for the MIRO, trace the material master to the respective profit center.
I guess, the profit center must be traced to your new profit center 'product 1'
Kindly check and revert.

Gangu.

Profit Center as a Company code

Hi Guys,
Business wants to treat a Profit Center as a Company code.
How can this be achieved and what are all the steps needde to achieve this.
can we draw the Balance sheet and other statements on this PC?
Thanks
srik.

Hi
If you are on New GL, you can use Profit center as a mandatory field for Document Splitting. Thereafter, the T Code S_PL0_86000028, S_PL0_86000029 and S_PL0_86000030 give you the required details.
New GL is having extensive functionalities. By activating new GL you can be benefited from number of benefits.
In case if your have not activated the new GL, the follow as below:
To get a profit center balance sheet.
1. Make sure you have completed your financial statement version (FSV) - OB58
2. Copy the FSV to Profit Center accounting KE5B
3. Check whether KE80 report should suffice your requirement.
4. Otherwise copy the report in KE80 and modify to your requirements.

Profit center assignment to company codes

Hello,
We have a a scenario wherein our plants are our profit centers.
As these plants belong to a particular company code,the profit centers need to be assigned to only the company to which their plants belong.
Is this a correct statement or will there be any scenario which would require us to assign a profit center to multiple company codes.
Any input is highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Vikas

It is my understanding that I can assign my profit center to any company code as long as all those company codes fall under one controlling area.
I am looking for scenarios wherein given the set up we have ( plant as a profit center) if there would be any need to assign a profit center to multiple company codes.
If plant were not set up as profit centers and for example if Product groups(highest node in the product hierarchy) is the basis for defining profit centers then it would be necessary to assign this profit center to all company codes in which the material belonging to that particluar product group exists.
I am looking for scenarios where a plant is a profit center and since material belongs to a plant isnt it enough to assign this profit center to the company code to which this plant belongs to or are there any scenarios within the given setup which would necessiate the assignment of this profit center to multiple company codes.
Any input is highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Vikas

1 Profit Center to Many Company Codes

Hi,
Currently we have 1 Company Code pointing to multiple Profit Centers.
We are trying to re-organize the structure to have 1 Profit Center pointing to multiple company codes.
Need input to analyze what areas or processes (standard) would be affected.
Thanks

Hi Shelina
Profit center accounting is always above the company code level.
Hence in Standard SAP you can assign a Profit center to multiple company codes.
Use KE56 to assign the profit centers to multiple company codes.
There would no process which would be affected. Only you have to assign cost centers to these profit centers since cost centers are within the company codes.

Suraj

No postings can be made to profit center A in company code 1000

Hello SAP Gurus,
Our profit center A was assigned only to company code 2000 but not in company code 1000 in KE53. However, when we checked some postings from FY14, we found out that there was a posting in company code 1000 for profit center A (Note: Cost Center A was assigned to Profit Center A in cost center master). Now, when we try to edit and post a parked document from company code 1000 with cost center A, error prompted "No postings can be made to profit center A in company code 1000".
We had checked the change logs for company code assignment of profit center A but we haven't found any changes related to this.
Appreciate if someone can advise how this is possible. Why did the posting go thru even if profit center is not assigned to company code? Why does the error suddenly prompted when we try to edit/post a parked document.
Thank you!
Jack

Hi Jack,
From the above note, it looks like following is the reason why the first document in FY14 got posted:
In message Customizing, message KI113 was set as warning, status or information
message or it was deactivated.
So, now if you want to post another document, either you will have to create profit centre A in cocode 1000 or check the relevent message in customizing and change its status from Error to warning,status or information message. the message number will be mentioned in your error message.
If you want to keep using profit centre A in cocode 1000, I think it is best to create the profit centre in cocode 1000 rather than playing with the messages.

Sadhana.

Profit center assignment to company code

Hi,
We have 1 controlling area & 3 company codes A, B & C. We are restructuring Cost Centers & Profit Centers for company code A. Out of the 3 company codes, B has no separate profit center standard hierarchy. The cost centers of B are currently assigned to profit centers of A.
Now that we are changing all the cost centers & profit centers of A, how do we deal with the cost centers of B which are assigned to the old profit centers of A?
If I try to change the master data of Profit centers of A to exclude the company code assignment of A & only have company code assignment of B so that the cost centers of B are the only ones assigned to old profit centers of A, system throws an error saying that :
Cost centers assigned to the profit center are contained in the company code in question.
Procedure:
    Remove the existing assignment between Cost center **** and profit
    center ***. Note that other assignments might exist, which you will
    also have to remove before you can delete the profit center. For an overview of all existing assignments, use the assignment monitor.
Is there any other solution to this? Can the Profit center assignment to company code be time-dependant?
Or will we have to keep the old profit centers of A unlocked for cost centers of B & use some validations to prevent posting of Compnay code A transactions to old cost/ profit centers.
Regards,
Sangeeta

Hello,
We are having the same issue. Would you please advise what solution you used to correct this.
Thanks,

Profit center dummy and company code XX01 are not consistent

Hi Gurus ,
can you please tell what i should do when the system gives the message that Profit center dummy and company code XX01 are not consistent . this is happening when i post document in FB50.

Owing to program or transport errors, the company code assignment of profit centers may not be stored correctly.
This inconsistent data then causes program terminations or short dumps in further processing.
This note contains the report ZPCA40B_CHECK_CEPC_BUKRS, which checks the consistency of the company code assignment and corrects possible errors.
REfer to OSS <a href="https://websmp207.sap-ag.de/~form/handler?_APP=01100107900000000342&_EVENT=REDIR&_NNUM=388178&_NLANG=E">388178</a>

Seperate Profit Center or separate company code

Hi
Our client requires a new plant / profit center (To be configured as new but legal entity will be one only) as a separate company code in SAP.
So what will be advantages and disadvantages for this.
Please guide.

Hi
Co Code is meant for Legal entity . It mean you have a seperate books of accounts etc
But having a new plant mean it is a part of the existing co code for which PC will provide you the financial info.
having another co code will also raise another requirement of consolidated results. So again do some thing which is not required realy.

No postings can be made to profit center 3200 in company code 2000

Hi All,
My client is having two company codes i,e 2000 and 3000.
2000 company code is having only one profit center i.e 2000
3000 company code is having two profit centers i.e 3100 & 3200
Document spliting is activated in both the company codes.
If we want to post FI Invoice in FB60.
First selected the companycode 2000
Selected the vendor belonging to 2000
Below:
Another line item of expenses selected, one expenses GL Account
BUT the company code selected for this line item is 3000 and selected the cost center 3200
After saving the Error of "No posting can be made to profit cetner 3200 in company code 2000" is coming.
I understood that it is because of First line item belonging to vendor is for 2000, so the profit center 3200 is inheriting to first line item which is not possible to post.
If iam able to provide the profit center in the Vendor line item the problem will be solved. But there is no profit center field available in any tab of vendor items.
I have checked the field status belonging to Posting key 31, the profit center is available which is optional, but not available while posting.
Kindly suggest how to select the profit center for the vendor line item.
Thanks & Regards
shankar

Hi,
System picks the same profit center given in expense line item to vendor line.
You can follow the below process:
1. While invoicing: in co code 2000
Dr Intercompany clearing a/c
Cr vendor (2000)
2. Clearing the Intercompany transactions: in co code 3000
Dr Expense (profit center 3200)
Cr Intercompany clearing a/c
Please check

Accounting error : Posting not possible for profit center XYZ In company Z

HI folks,
Do any of you have come accross this error in passing of billing doc to accounting " Posting not possible for profit center 153 in company code Z134. Kindly let me know what could be the possiblity and the solutions
Thanks,
Kamal

Hi,
Might just be better off to take the guidance from your FI guys. Pl. check if all the assignments are made correctly, like the material is linked with a profit center and this profit center to a cost center and finally to the controlling area. Also check if the currency of the profit center is the same as the controlling area currency.
