New Ledger - Profit Center and Segment in stock purchase

Hi Gurus,
In a case with New Ledger where Profit Center and Segment scenarios are activated:
1. How derivate the Profit Center and Segment in a stock purchase, because here there isn't an expense account imputed to a Cost Center.
stock +1000
supplier -1000
Thanks in advance.
José Luis

Hi,
Material Master will have a profit center attached and profit center amster shouldl have segment. And thus derivation of both will happen.

Profit center and segment columns in the General ledger view of FB03L

Hi Experts,
one customer is asking how to get the Profit center and segment columns in the General ledger view of FB03L.
Could you please assist?
Thanks, Mateus

Enter company code, doc. no., etc. in the selection screen of FB03L and hit Enter. In the next screen that displays the document, choose change layout option (it is third icon from the right in the icons that are right above the document line items) and move profit center and segment fields from Column Set (the fields on the right) to the Displayed Columns (left) and hit Enter. You will see the fields with values, if any. Using the same icon again, choose save layout and save that layout.

Dummy profit center and profit center clearing account being used

Dear Gurus,
We are implementing ECC 6.0 and will have FI PCA.
I have 2 profit centers.(and one dummy profit center 9999)
1)RM common
2) FG1
When RM is issued to production order and order is confirmed, the goods movement are 261 and 101 respectively.
the entry at the time of confirmation is
Discription                          Profit center
Consumption of RM             9999
To RM inventory                RMCommon
FG Inventory dr                  FG1
To Factory output account 9999
What should actually happen is instead of 9999 consumption of RM should hit profit center RM common and instead of 9999 the factory output account should hit FG1.
The profit center clearing account is being used for the entry in the GL view (as opposed to entry view in accounting)
Only then will accounting treatment be correct.
I have checked field statuses of the respective accounts and they have profit center and segment as optional fields.
Can you suggest what may be wrong and where i need to change the splitting config.
Regards,

Hi
Profit Center is derived from the assignment of Profit center in material master in costing view.
In the production scenario,
Consumption of raw material Dr - PC of FG
Cr Stock of RM - PC RM
Dr Stock of FG - PC FG
Cr confirmation of production of the Finished goods - PC FG
The reason for that is the production order is created with respect to the Finished Goods, master data of the production order inherits from the Finished goods.

Suraj

I have checked with Basis team, whethere i have restrictions with my userid. Even with Basis id also, we are being unable to activate these reports.
Does it required any configuration / licence issues before i need to lookinto before download?
Kindly revert

Before downloading the drill down reports, we need to activate the business funciton "FIN_GL_CI_1" through T.Code SFW5

Splitting in NEW GL with one profit center and two segments

What options are avialble for splitting in New GL when there should be one profit center and two segments - maybe characteristic derivation could solve it?

If I have understood your question correctly then you have one profit center and you want to attach two segments to it.
Segment is higher level than the profit centre. One segment can have n number of profit centres but one profit centre will have only one segment. This is the drawback in using the 'segment' in SAP. Also, it is difficult to change sengment embedded in profit centre master.
You might try using profit centre groups than segment.

Profit center and Partner profit center assignment in TM transaction

Dear Experts,
I am very new on TRM, could you tell me how you define profit center and partner profit center for FI posting pass from TRM? I did not see there is field for PC or PPC on any of TM transaction.
Appriciate your help.
thanks
CK

Hi,
For postings from treasury you can assign default profit center and business area (also segment from EH3) to account assignment reference. The basic idea being that you generally manage all similar transactions with same account assignment reference through a same organization unit like profit center. You do this assignment in TRM -- General Settings -- Accounting -- Link to other Accounting Components -- Assign additional account assignments.
However in case you want to have a different profit center derived in a different way than through account assignment reference, you could use a custom logic and derive it using the BAdI TPM_ACCIF_TRAC.

Ravi

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

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

New GL PCA values are stored in FAGLFLEX* tables.
These are FI tabls and they store values in 1st 2nd and 3rd currency of FI. If your control area current is same as anyof these, you can access report in that currency
Else, you can do the conversion inside your report using a static exchange rate
