PCA Postings
Hi Experts,
1. Can you please shed some lights on what are the transactions that will trigger the postings to PCA?
2. Looks like the payables and receivables reades the PC from the offset line items - what does it mean? and which transaction is it refers is it the open customer and open vendor items? or Open customer and vendor invoices?
Thank You

I am not concerned with AR or AP invoice. My question pertains to payment for AR or AP invoice.
Let's take AP invoice:
Cr Vendor $100
Dr Expense $100
AP payment:
Dr Vendor $100 -> CLEARED ITEM
Cr Cash $100
Does it make sense if SAP program F.5D determines PC "DUMMY" for the vendor cleared item? It is not going to be transferred to PCA anyway since it is no more open item.
Thanks

PCA postings to DUMMY profit center
I have a customer invoice posted to profit center A and then it is cleared after customer payment is received. After balance sheet adjustment is calculated using F.5D transaction, the customer line item in the payment document is "attached" to DUMMY profit center. Shouldn't it "attach" to profit center of the invoice.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Can someone tell me the differences between the following in the way they generate postings in PCA
1. Accounts assigned to 3KEH table How they generate postings to profit centers
2. Transferring Selected Balance Sheet Items - 1KEH, 1KEJ, 1KEI, 1KEK transactions
3. Actual Data Transfer - Transfer CO Actual Data Periodically, Select and Transfer CO Actual Data, Transfer FI Actual Data, Transfer MM Actual Data, Transfer SD Billing Documents When are these actual data transfers done?
I appreciate your help.

Please note following regarding PCA postings
1) All cost center costs actual and plan are posted to PCA based on profit center assigned to each cost center in the cost center master data
2) All material movement entries - inventory, consumption, change in stock, wip and COGS for a material are posted to profit center based on profit center assigned in material master record for the material.
3) Coming to balance sheet items - flow of data would be like this provided you hv done following settings in configuration
a) Created accounts for balance sheet items
b) Created dummy profit center and given default for all balance sheet items
except for receivables and payables, and inventory accounts
Coming to flow of balance sheet items
1) If u have fixed asset accounting - you must have assigned a cost center to each fixed asset master data record. The assignment of cost center ensures all fixed asset related accounting entries are posted to cost centers and since each cost center has profit center assigned - values also flow into profit centers
2) Now the next major item in balance sheet are for receivables and payables. If you are using version other than version 6 you need to do following during month end for transfer of receivables and payables to profit centers
2a) First do F.5D in the following menu path
Menu Path: Accounting / Financial Accounting / General ledger / Periodic processing / Closing / Regroup / Balance sheet readjustment / Calculate B/S readjustment.
2b) Now do transaction 1KEK
Transaction: 1KEK
Menu Path: Accounting / Controlling / PCA / Actual postings / Period-end closing / Transfer payables/receivables.
Select the company code and the period and fiscal year which you want to transfer to Profit Center Accounting. System posts the payables and receivables to Profit Center Accounting under the reconciliation accounts of the general ledger. No FI documents are created in the process.
3) Now do transaction 1KEH and transfer previous period balances
4) Next, 1KEI
5) Then 1KEJ
Remember transactions 1KEI, 1KEH and 1KEJ are to generate opening balances for receivables, payables, stocks, wip etc.
The balances for these after go live will be transfereed to PCA on line
Coming to point 3 mentioned by you
You do this only if PCA if activated at later stages say one year after go live and u want to transfer previous cost center balances, stocks and billing documents. You dont have to do this if u are implementing PCA along with other modules
Hope the above clarifies and .........please assign points. -
Transfer postings to PCA.
Hi all
In profit center accounting, I'm facing a problem with transfer of payables and receivables.
I've run the steps F.5D and 1KEK to transfer the data, but there are 4 items related to a sales order which are balancing to zero in GL but not in PCA. There's a balance of $1200 in PCA.
The items are posted to pca, but not transferred.
I've tried to re run the data transfer steps, but that wouldn't help.
Is there anyway that I correct pca postings through repostings etc.. Can somebody help?
Many thanksThanks for the answer Dave, but can you pls eloborate on this?
What excatly does this transaction do?
I've tried using the 9KE0 and posted the difference amount to the specific profit center & gl account. It wouldn't post it until the balance is zero, so I posted two line items(Dr & Cr). I, then tried the KE5T to check the comparisons, the difference is still there.
Have I done the correct thing? Please would you explain this further..?
Thanks a lot

Goods Movement 351 not posting to PCA
For our new plant implentation, we create STO (ME23N), GI - 351 movement type, and GR - 101. No sales order, No delivery. Also 101 GR doesnt create financial document.
at good issue 351 movement type :
inv FG 13300100 Cr
inv FG 13300100 Dr
For good receipt, 101 there is no financial document.
However we are not able to extend this to PCA documents. the PCA settings for internal goods transfer are the following: 0kek
Mat type Valcl VGCd No receiver rec Internalrec Chg.stock DelfromPrCTR
Zint - - - 40050100 50050500 50050500
materials of same valuation type on both plants.
We also use the lengthier GM 641 but this would pick up the above PCA positings using Delivery note as trigger. The following postings happen:
Document Cat. Ref. Document Ref. Doc. Line Posting period Profit Center Partner Profit Ctr Account Number Acc.Text In profit center local currency Curr. Key of PrCtr LC

The only difference in the configuration is at OMWN:

641 E L E WA04 2 PRD PRU

Its todo with material indicatior but i think other conditions apply. Any ideas how to get PCA postings using 351.
Would appreciate a quick response.Hi Sharath
Maybe you have already check it, but here it goes, are you sure the material master have a profit center assigned ?
I did a transfer using mov 301 and it has posted fine.

Hello experts,
One of my manager is asking to lock postings for PCA (Profit Center Accounting) on periodic basis. He is asking just like OB52 in FI and OKP1 in CO locking based on the periods.
Just like if you check for month Jan, Feb ,March etc automatically it locks for posting respective transactions. I have checked the transaction code which SAP is provided. But there is no transaction code like that to provide such functionality. This requirement is for audit purpose.
I have checked the options like Validation and Substitutions to lock the posting fecility for PCA on periodic basis. Can any body come across the same situation like this ? Please throw some light on this. For right and correct answer award of points will be provided immediately.
Please dont think this is locking Profit center. This requirement is to lock PCA Profit Center Accounting on periodic basis.
Solution and help is appreciated.

Mark SimpsonHi Meenakshi,
Thanks for your help and i would like to ask you one question on this .
I have found one table TKA00PCA which is not having two additional required fields for our client purpose to use new fields date from and date to to restrict PCA poisting based on month basis ( example: jan,Feb etc...) .
We have an idea to append structure for above table with fields
(1) Date From
(2) Date To
and restrict the PCA posting using transaction code 1KEF .
Please let me know if appending structure to table TKA00PCA is going to impact on any other areas ?
Right now i am not able to lock PCA postings based on monthwise but only year basis using transaction 1KEF .
Is there any way to do above requirement to lock with months and as well as year ? Please let me know on this and appreate your help .
Thanks & Regards,

PCA Manual Posting - Stopping posting to certain account
Dear experts,
How can I stop usage of a certain account for manual PCA postings thru 9KE0. This is only for manual, the other transactions should be able to post. Any inputs, highly appreciated.
ThanksAndreas,
I did the following steps:
Defined the validation in Transaction GGB0 ->Special Purpose Ledger-->Line item level i.e. Call-up point 4.
Then I assigned the validation to a company code in transaction: GCVV (IMG Path: Financial Accounting>Special Purpose Ledger>Basic Settings>Validation>Maintain Local Validation)
The transaction you mentioned, GCVX is for assigning substitutions.
Pls let me know if i took correct steps.
Andreas,
I figured it out. Actually I was using GLU1-ACCOUNT instead of GLU1-RACCT. My question is solved.

Hello,
I need to add field MATNR to the extract structure for data source 0EC_PCA_1 (ISPCACST) in order to be able to report on material number. But how should the user exit for this be written?
I know that the original table for actual PCA postings is GLPCA and the plan postings are in table GLPCP. All postings end up in table GLPCT (aggregated per period) and then function module ECPCA_BIW_GET_DATA reads this and populates structure ISPCACST. Am I right?
But how do I write the user exit code so that MATNR is added and populated in ISPCACST? Which is the source table to use? I would have guessed on GLPCT (since this seems to be used for 0EC_PCA_1) but I can't find MATNR in this one.
How come ds 0EC_PCA_3, which uses the same function module for extraction, and thereby reads from the same source table: GLPCT, includes MATNR?
Please explain the logic of this and I'll be eternally greatful! :-)..
Best regards,
Fredrikpooja,
It depends upon which fields you have defined as key fields in the DSO.
If the "creation date" is a key field, then the system will load the records as 2 separete records.

Can 'DUMMY PROFIT CENTRE' postings be reallocated to a 'real' Profit Centre
I am working for a company that was implemented with the majority of Cost Centres having no Profit Centre assignments. This means that all the historical PCA documents have been posted to DUMMY PC. We now wish to change this concept by creating new Profit Centres and assigning the current Cost Centres to them. Will only new transactions post to the new Profit Centres or is it possible to redirect historical PCA postings to the new structure? The system has been live for a few years but it would be extremely useful if at least the last and current fiscal year postings could be re-assigned.
Many thanks for any guidance with this topic.
Kind regards,
Alan GilbertHi Gilbert
1. Historical transactions as such wont flow automatically to new PCs..
2. But you can either create a distribution cycle or use 9KE0
Using 9 KE0: You can calculate cumulative values per GL / Prof Ctr combination and do a mass upload using 9KE0
Or If you use BW for reporting, you can also upload the values in BW

Hello BW friends,
I have a PCA-related problem:
I need to report planned and actual values on material group (attribute on 0MATERIAL).
In R/3 field "representative material" I have the planned values. This is transported to BW using data source 0EC_PCA_1.
In R/3 field "material" I have the actual values. This is transported to BW using data source 0EC_PCA_3.
I guess that I need to use both of these data sources in order to be able to report on both actual and planned values?
Also, I somehow need to direct both representative material and material into info object 0MATERIAL (since material group is an attribute of this one).
How would you solve this?
I'd be really thankful for some input...

Base Ledger balance empty in KE5T
Hi gurus
I was trying to compare the FI and PCA postings using ke5t and what i found out was that the base ledger balance was empty,
where the compledger had balances in it. can somebody tell me why could this be happening thought i have maintained the 3KEH table and assigned the pca in the financial documents ? secondly i am not able find the navigation path for KE5T in ECC6.
regards
sayeedHello Sayeed,
Let me tell you the steps which performing in our premises.
Four steps are there right from T code: 1KEK, F.5D, KE5T and GR55
1KEK: This application used to perform transfer PCA balances upto the period you enter
For eg If I enter Period "3", Fiscal Year "2013" and Execute then System will calculate right from Period "1" to "3" for that fiscal year
F.5D: It simply calculate balance sheet adjustment
KE5T: This application used to monitor/ compare PCA Balances and G/L Transaction figures are match or not If not match found, please re-run this right from 1st step because Entries may be posting.
GR55: This is a final report. It is used to extract data from PCA as well as G/L accounts as Trial balances. -
Entries posting to dummy profit center
Hi
while doing MR21 entries is going to dummy profit center in revaluation gain or loss GL A/C instead of respective profit center of material.
For this weather we need to check / new configuration or new configuration required.
Please help.
ThanksDear Amita,
MR21 is only posted on company code level. To derive the profit center from the material master it would be necessary to know the plant but the plant is not available during MR21 posting. The system cannot break down the profit center information knowing only the company code. In that case this is the reason why the dummy profit center is used for price difference postings.
But you can try to use the FI substitution to change the profit center. Based on the information you can create an exit to determine the profit center from the material master.
Another option is the user exit in PCA (Exit_SAPLPCRW_001
- please read the documentation about this function module in the
system). Using this exit it will be possible to make changes in the
PCA postings. This will only change the PCA document and the postings made in FI will not be affected by this exit.
Cheers,

PCA-Activiation of direct postings
Hi Guru's
I am notable to activate direct postings in pca iam finding the error it gives incomplete controlling area settings
when checked coa settings everything is done well except that i have not mentioned dummy pc when i wanted to activate it htat field is in grayed so could anybody sove this problem.
Thanks

ManjuHI,
While maintaining Profit center setting one of the prerequisite is to maintain dummy profit center, until dummy profit center is not maintained, PCA Setting are incomplete.

Manual postings to PCA for previous periods seems to get posted twice
Dear All,
Actual postings to PCA are performed manually using a custom job from SA38. Postings were made in FI for all previous (closed) periods . After running those jobs for previous periods to transfer those entries, some companies and accounts are showing duplicate amounts or just a balance on comparison ledger and not in base ledger. How to correct this.
Thanks a lot for your helpHi
You will have to use 9KE0 or a custom job again to rectify this

PCA document not generated for GL P/L postings
Hi all,
The interface for the P&L (Profit & Loss General Ledger interface) is not creating any CO or PCA documents. In other words, there are no controlling documents being created, only FI documents. The FI document shows that the Profit Center or Cost Center was posted to, however, we cannot run cost center or profit center reports and see the activity.
IDOC: FIDCCP02 is used to post the P&L document.
Please advise.
Thank you,
Ganesh.Hi Ganesh,
Did note 114814 solved your problem? If so, can you give some detail? If not, did you find any solution?
I am going through a similar issue and I would like to know if note 114814 was helpful to you and which solution did you apply.
