No postings on profit centers or cost centers or both

Hi!
I will assin points for every reasonable answer!
This is the problem.
We are on ECC6.0 - new GL is NOT activated!
We have tons of cost center and profit center problems - sometimes there are no postings on profit center, sometimes there are no postings on cost centers, but it goes to Dummy profit center. sometimes there are no posting on profit AND cost center....it is not even going to dummy.
Where do i start fixing it?
I know there can be multiple problems, but please help me to start looking.....What are the steps of fixing it?
Any ideas?

There are all types of issues:
-Sometimes JE are not having profit center assigned to revenue accounts (and it wouldn't go to dummy)
-Every time production order settlement will go to dummy for the part of the cost that comes from the Purchase order ( the rest of the cost would go to the profit center assigned in the production order master data)
-Customer deposits wtire offs (that i think is the user error too)
-Material Scrap transactions
So, most of the errors require user training. But, whatever is in the system need to be fixed, right?
What are the reports i can execute to see all the differences?
What is the best way to monitor it from happening?

  • Customer & Vendor postings with Profit Centers

    hello all,
    I am facing a peculiar problem out here. The clients requirement is they want to post all the customer & vendor transactions with the Profit centers. I had collected all the relevant Posting keys for the transaction postings for the customers & Vendors. I had changed the profit center from "optional entry" to "Required Entry" in Filed Status maintain. But still I am unable to get the profit centers at the time of Posting of Transaction.
    Please Suggest.

    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

  • Assignment of cost centers and profit centers

    Hi Friends,
    can anybody give me a series of steps of assignment of cost centers and profit centers, like I know there is a T.code 3KEH, but I really dont know the chronological (step by step) order of steps to be followed to assign the cost centers to profit centers, as profit centers cannot be directly posted to and as the postings.
    And above all when I see the info about 3KEH, it says we need to assign only balance sheet items there and not cost items.
    Basically I've not studied Profit center accounting Properly and so I'm facing this problme
    If there is any documentation on this can anyone pass this on to: kiransandhyaATyahooDOTcom

    Hi Sridhar,
    Thnx for replying. I've gone ahead and defined cost and profit centers and did what you have told me to. Now this is where I'm stranded. How do I map profit and cost centers so that the we get the right kind of reports.
    Basically, my question would be: say for eg: if we are defining Company, Co.Code, before completing with Global paramters, there are a series of steps that we need to complete, right.
    Like wise, I just wanted to have a series of mandatory steps that I need to follow where the cost centers and profit centers mapping is done, atleast if I have the steps with me then I can go ahead and check the logic as to why should I define a particular step.
    Like I mentioned I happened to see some information about 3KEI, so before going to 3KEI or 3KEH, are there any other steps that I need to follow.
    I need to get the cost center and profit center reports, so that is what I'm looking for, and what do i need to configure, before getting to that point?
    I dont have a great insight into PCA, and I was not a part of the controlling configuration, but because a person has left in between the project, I'm supposed to do this and that is the reason why I dont have much time in doing R&D, and thats the whole reason why I'm seeking inputs which would actually minimise my time of R&D, once I'm able to convince my people, then again I can sit back and try to improvise my self.

  • New GL Profit Centers not updated with Reposting of costs in CO

    Hi,
    There is one concern, which I am not able to address.
    In case one reposts primary costs to different cost centers which in turn has different profit centers, the PCA report gets updated since it is posted in CO.
    However, in case of New GL Profit center reports the values are displayed in the original profit center posted and not in the reposted profit center. I understand that the reposting is done only in CO, but then there would be a mismatch in the PCA reports and the New GL profit center reports.
    Please suggest any solution to this.

    Hi
    check the path and see if Account Determination between CO & FI is active for the variant defined and assigned to your company code:
    IMG>Financial Accounting>Financial Accounting Global Settings>Ledgers>Real time Integration between Controlling & FI>Define variants for Real Time Integration.

  • Usage of Cost Centers, Profit Centers and Internal Orders

    Hello everyone,
    i have perhaps for some of you a simple question but it bothers me alot.
    Imagine we are using Cost centers and Internal Orders. For them we create statistical key figures using transaction KB31N.
    Now we are installing SAP BI and want to create a report which would be generated acording to cost centers but with statistical key figures.
    The question would be how to make a connection between cost centers orders and those stat.key.figs?
    In our case the economists say that we are using this kind of scenario:
    Dist.chanel ->
    Sender: Cost center, Cost element
    Receiver: Int.Order
    and Stat key fig.
    This is the only place where we have a connection between thos objects. Is there other way how to connect them. perhaps using profit centers?
    If somebody didnt understand it, maybe ill try to explain it a bit better

    Hi Laurynas,
    Pls try to understand the concept as explained hereunder...
    Cost Element:
    Primary Cost Element : Replication of GL to bring costs into CO module when they are posted in FI 
                                       module
    Secondary Cost Elements: Carriers of costs between two Cost Objects (when we want to transfer the
                                            cost from Cost Centers to Internal Orders, vice versa and more, we create
                                            Secondary Cost Elements to carry the costs and transfer them to the 
                                            reciever objects from sender objects)
    Cost Center: It is a Cost Object, maintained on long-term basis, where we can capture the costs (Ex:
                        Marketing Cost Center)
    Internal Order: It is also a Cost Object, maintained on shor-term basis, where we can capture the costs
                         (Ex: Internal Order for Special Marketing Campaign). Ultimately, whatever the costs
                          posted to this Internal Order, will get settled to Marketing Cost Center.
    Staitistical Key Figure: It is used as a basis for allocation of certain expenses (Simple example would
                                      be, Total rent paid for office is $100000 per month. This cost has to go to
                                      different Cost Centers like Finance and Accounts, Marketing, Purchase Dept
                                      etc on the basis of "Area Occupied". So, We will define "Area Occupied" as a 
                                      Statistical Key Figure in our system.
                                     Now, when the Rent amount is posted in FI, it wil reach a Virtual Cost Center
                                     (An "Allocation Cost Center" with name "Rent" to be created under your
                                     Controlling Area) "Rent". From there, it has to reach the other Cost Centers (lie
                                     F&A etc as explained above) on the basis of Area Occupied (SKF Created
                                     for "area occupied")
    For this, you need enter the Area Occupied values (Ex:Sq Ft) in KB31N and you need to create an Allocation Cycle (Distribution / Assessment) where in you will select "Area Occupied" (SKF) as your Receiver Tracing Factor.
    I hope I am clear, don't hesitate to revert back for more explanation...

    Hi,
      This you can do it in two ways:
    1. Make three header under top level....one Product A, 2nd Product B ( as Billing element) and third as Common expense ( only cost). Now 1st & 2 nd WBS, you have to have sales order linking with individual lint item, for third you will accumulate all the common expense till the period end then make a reposting of the same in desired proportion to both products WBS hierarchy
    (This is if you want to have a track on the common expense as well.......like planning, budgeting & control)
    After this reposting, run RA for individual billing element and hence you will all the complement detailing and control over Revenue and expense with respect to Product A and Product B individually.
    2. If you don't want to maintain that kind of detailing the common expense and keep track of it through project, then have cost centers accordingly and make an assesment/ distribution with respect to expenses accumulated at those cost centers for the period to the respective WBS under each product. Then execute the period end processes for the project.
    Or
    You can try with have two more line items in the costing sheet as an overhead against common expenses with respect each product.
    I hope this should help you.

  • Profit centers and cost centers - language maintenance

    Hi!
    We have an SAP environment running where three countries use local languages and the fourth one uses English, also most people working centrally with the system uses English. Also the hierarchies are exported to BI from the English language version of the system. Thus we have a need to maintain names of hieararchy nodes and profit centers/cost centers in several languages.
    Is there any easier way to do this than logging in to all relevant language versions (usually one local and English) to maintain these? Is there some setting that makes it enough to maintain in for instance the English version and it updates all the other languages?
    Best regards,
    Jan Pettersson

    Not really the answer I was hoping for
    it's business side users in each country maintianing the hieararchies and PC/CC... so LSMWs and imports and exports is unfortuntantely not the best of options.
    Hoping for someone else with a similar situation with additonal ideas.

  • Cost Centers and Profit centers default

    Hi,
    Apart from OKB9 settings where else we can design for default cost and profit centers.
    thanks
    RP

    Hi,
    For cost centres you can set the default directly in cost element master data (KA02). Regarding profit centre, you can use 3KEH transaction.

  • Cost Centers & Profit Centers in PM Order Settlements

    Dear All,
    Can anyone please explain me the exact use of following Fields in the PM Order?
    Additional Data Tab    -     Responsible CCt , Profit Center  , Object Class  
    Location Tab             -   Account Assignment u2013 Cost Center
    Settlement Rule         -  Settlement Receiver (When category is CTR-Cost Center)
    Also would appreciate if the explanation can be given on the impact on above in settling the Orders.
    (CAPEX Orders as well as OPEX Orders)
    Thanks & Regards,
    Thushantha

    Hi,
    Additional Data Tab
    Responsible Cost Center: - The responsible cost center is the responsible area for authorization check on internal orders.
    This does not have to be the cost center to which the order settles its costs.
    (ex The cost center "site office" is the responsible cost center).
    Profit Center:-  Operating results for profit centers can be analyzed using either the
    cost of sales approach or the period accounting approach.
    By analyzing the fixed capital as well, you can expand your profit
    centers for use as investment centers.
    Location Tab
    Cost Center:- which belongs to Equipment Master or Functional Location. This cost will be comes under Account Assignment Category
    Settlement Reveiver:- Its the set of cost elements which receives the Actual cost from the work order & transfers to the cost center.
