Plant & Profit Centre Combination

Hi Friends.
Is there any requirement that there should be 1:1 combination between Plant and Profit centre to derive the profit centre wise financial statements? Viz.,
I have 4 profit centers, have only one Plant and most of the materials are commonly used by all the profit centres.
In this situation, how to go ahead and extend the same materials to different profit centres and derive the financial statements?
Regards.
Srini

Hi
In case of multiple profit centres wherein material cannot be identified with any specific profit center, then an enhancement through ABAP would be required for correct derivation of profit centers
Thank You,

Populating Profit Centre Field while doing Transaction for Vendor/Customer

Dear Experts,
I have cheked in FSG of GL Code of Vendors/Customers where "Profit Centre " is a optional field.
I have cheked in OB41 also for posting key relating to vendors/customers "Profit Centre" field is set as optional field.
We need to make entry in the Profit Centre Field for both Vendors and Customers whicle doing manual posting.
How can we bring that field which is not populated while doing transaction with posting keys of vedors and customers.
Regards,
Alok

Dear Sayeed,
I am agree with u, but since in SAP Vendor /Customer Line Item takes automatically profit centre from the other line items.
Here is an example:-
We have different profit centre for plant(104001) and coprorate office(106001)
Customer billing is done at plant then the entry will be:-
Customer A/c Debit (by default it will take 104001 profit centre)
Sales A/c Credit with Profit Centre 104001
In Corporate Office We Receive the sales proceeds:-
In Coming Bank a/c Corporate Debit with Profit Centre 106001
Customer A/c Credit (It will take by default profit centre 106001)
By this If we genrate Profit Centre Wise Trial Balance then all Customers Debit will lying with Plant Trial
and Customer Credit Balance will lying in Corporate Treial Balance giving a mis information to the auditors.
For solving this we need to populate the Profit Centre field in Customer line item so that while doing the received entry we can selct the Plant Profit Centre (104001) in Customer line item so that the Customer balance become Nil in Plant Trial.
Hopw you understand our requirement.

Alok

Hai,
1. You can make the field MARC-PRCTR as a required field for a field ref either for matl type or a transaction codes, by selecting field group 48 in Tcodes OMSR or OMS9.
2.If the profit center is made as a mandatory field then you have to define the profit center in IMG - Enterprise structure - Definition - Financial Accting - Define profit center & Define Segments.
3. This profit center should be assigned to the company code in IMG - Enterprise structure. Best you have to consult with FICO consultants to do this.

Goods Receipt entry going to dummy profit centre

hello experts,
Goods Receipt entry is going to dummy profit centre, dont know how and why ?
I have checked the PO, Material Master, WBS etc. where the desired profit centres are mentioned.
We have a relation ship of plant=profit centre = business area in our structure.
Goods Receipt entry should go desired profit centres only AND NOT TO DUMMY PROFIT CENT..
Pl advise.
Thnks
Pravin / Vinod

Hope you have checked substituion at OKC9.
Make sure that the account assignment is WBS element only in PO. If not then, please chek whether profit center is assigned to that cost object.
Easily you can monitor profit center assignments at 1KE4.

Authorization Check for profit centres in SO level.....

Dear Experts,
Plant                 Profit Centre
1                       400000010
2                       400000020
3                       400000030
My client is having 1 sales org and 3 plants , 3 profit centres in different locations. While creating SO in Plant one user is able to create SO for Plant two , Materilas are common for all the plants and are extended. My requirement is when user is creating SO from Plant one , automatically , Plant1, profit centre 400000010must be greayed out mode . system must not allow the user to change the plant.
Currently system is allowing me to take Customers from plant2 while i am creating a SO from plant 1.. system is also allowing me to change from Plant 1 to Plant 2.
Kindly do the needful

In the program MV45AFZZ use exit USEREXIT_FIELD_MODIFICATION to change the profit center to display mode so that no changes are possible and it always flows from material master irrespective of user ID.
You can also use transaction variant SHD0 to make the profit center field as display.

Assign Plant to a GL Account and Profit Centre

Where do I assign a plant to a GL account and Profit Centre.

Hi,
a plant is not direct assigned to a profit-center and not to a G/L account.
A plant is assigned to a company code (in customizing), a GL account can be created (account master data) within a company code (if its used in this CC), a profit-center is assigned to one/more company codes (profit-center master data).
In material master / costing 1 view (which is plant related) you can assign a material to a profit center, thus all postings in one plant related to this material belong to this profit center.
Best regards, Christian

Thanks,

Hi,
I need to know the link when you doing a normal cost center planning(CCA) because when I look at profit centre line item, it looks like it derives a plant as well.
Please advise,

How to find out Plant wise Cost centre/ Profit Centre

Hi Guru
My problem is How to find out plant wise cost centre. To be more clear------ I want to know what cost centre is valid for a particular plant
My mail Id. [email protected]

Hi,
Then this explains the problem.
The message number starts with a Z and so it is not a standard SAP message because SAP does not link cost centres or GLs to Plants
But also, the message doesn't indicate a problem with the link? it is stating that you should check that the GL account and the PROFIT CENTRE are valid for the posting for the period???.
It looks like someone has written a custom modification in your system and so we are , unfortunately, unable to help because the data would be in custom tables and not standard SAP tables.
You can only solve this problem by speaking to someone within your own company who knows the mdofication that has been done.
Sorry

Material Master: Division and Profit Centre

Hello,
In the material master, is it possible to have combination of Profit centre with respect to Division?
(that is for perticular Division only certain Profit centres will be applicable)

No not possible. Both are separate entries. Business area is now obsolete. Profit centre wise P&L and balance sheets can be made. Profit centres are generally at plant level while business area is at product level. There is nothing to assign them together.
Thanks

Profit centre mapping

Hi Friends,
Where we can map the Profit centre for customers?
What is the TCode.
Thanks in advance.

Hi
It would all depend on your business structure and organizational requirements. The several ways could be:
1. If all your plants are profit centers, in such a scenario, the easiest way is to key in the profit center in Material Master view extended for that plant.
2. The user can manually key in the profit center in the accoutn assignment tab of the sales order , from which it is keyed in manually. You can ask your SD Colleugue to keep profit center as a check in Incompletion log, so that no sales order is made with out sale order
3. If you are using Business Areas, another way is to use a combination of internal Orders and Cost centers to derive profit centers. This is done throughOKB9. This is good strategy in case, your plant may have more than one profit centers in your organizational structure
4. Another way is to make an explicit assignment in 3KEH.
5. If need be you can also look at the option of writing a subsitution rule for profit center. This is done in T Code GGB1.
Pls make your query clear, so that answer can be more specific.
Thanks & Best regards

Profit centre at storage location level

Hi Experts,
Can we define a profit centre @ storage location level?
My scenario :
The document splitting of FI is activated for the document type of FI and also the profit centre is mandatory entry for any accounting document that will be created so when I am trying to post a MIGO I encounter the error
"Balancing field "Profit Center" in line item 001 not filled"
We have a option of maintaining a profit centre in plant data/storage location but i will be updated in the profit centre field of Costing1 view . But we does not want to upadate in costing view of material master data.
Basically We want the system to determine profit centre based on storage location in Goods reciept transaction .
Helpful Sugestions on this would be helpful & rewarded max .
points.

Hi Raju ,
Thanx for the reply.I am Basavarajs Collougues.
Our Enterprise Structure of our Client is as follows
One company code is assigned to one plant and we have treated all the branches across India as Storage locations.Each Branch (Storage Location- MM) is configured as Profit centres in FICO.The goods are procured for a storage location.
By using the functionality of document splitting, the profit center field is made mandatory for all the accounting documents generated in the system. Now we are trying to post a goods receipt against a Purchase Order, the system is giving error "Balancing field "Profit Center" in line item 001 not filled"
The option is there to maintain a profit center at the plant level.But we have several storage locations under the plant and each storage location has to be linked with the particular profit center. So that, while doing goods receipt the system should determine profit centre based on the storage location in purchase orders.
Please suggest on this.

New GL, Profit Centre Reporting, Settlement

HI,
Our company system has ECC6, New GL, but no enhancement packs.
I notice that Plant Maintenance Orders, once settled, do not generate an accounting document, but only a Profit Centre and controlling document.
Therefore the GL will not agree with the profit centre reports from GR55, which are the figures we want.
a) If we are starting a BW implementation "from scratch", is there any disadvantage to not having the Enhancement Packs fitted? Can we not just write the reports ourselves as part of the development?
i.e. does the enhancement pack 3 offer anything particular that cannot be replicated in the development?
b) Is this normal settlement behaviour? How would this be changed so that PM orders post into the GL as well as the Profit Centres?
Thanks.

Hi,
Difference without enhancement pack 3 is that you do not get 0FI_GL_14 datasource. This is line item datasource on FAGLFLEXA table (with joinings on BSEG table). So for example, you get all the Billing Doc Number, Purchase Ord no., Customer, Clearing Date (for AR) etc associated with the old accounting doc along with the New GL Doc numbers.
You do get the totals datasource 0FI_GL_10 is based on FAGLFLEXT only with data structure and data same as that in the table.
The 0FI_GL_4 (based on BSEG) is available too. So if you want you can stage this BSEG data and stage new GL table FAGLFLEXA and link both in BW based on the Old Accounting Doc number which be available in both. But this would be lot of ABAP lookups, looping etc.

Sales Documents and Profit Centre and GL Accounts

Currently a when we create a sales document for a plant, that document is posting to a specific GL account (Cash on Hand account) and profit centre. In VKOA, the Account Assignment Group is assignment to a GL Account, and that AAG is assigned to the material master. I want to find out how SAP is currently determining to which profit centre and GL Account it is posting to. The only thing that I can get is the Plant and sales office in the Sales document. I want to know the determination factor

I want to know the determination factor
Have you checked in OKB9 ??
thanks

Urgent plz!! partner profit centre derivation

my company has 2 plants under one company code . one plant supplies one material type A to second plant .Both the plant have different profit centres.
How to make the partner profit centre hit when i am doing an invoice posting in MIRO.
I tried doing a derivation rule in 8kes , but the partner profit centre has to hit after matching the particular material no and the plant no .
in the enhancement source text there is no field for plant where i could modify the source text .
Moreover at the user exit in 8kes , after creating a breakpoint , it is not getting hit during MIRO .
Plz help

Hi Sunil ,
This is very much possible .
Procedure :-
generate the report ex fbl1n with any criterea.Before that check weather field profit center is there in Dynamic selections .
Even after giving if it is not coming .then go to settings in fbl1n report and there click on special fields .
New entries
Table Name BSIS/BSID/BSIK
Field Name PRCTR
Similarly
Table name BSEG
Field Name PRCTR
you save the changes
if you find any error like field prctr already exist then no need to craete firld PRCTR for BSIS but you need to create it for BSEG (form which these figures populate )
then save .
CAUTION: ypou may not find the changes until indexing takes place .
so Wait fro some time for ex In some comanies indexing takes at night time . after that only you can see the changes .
this way you can add some special fields .
Hope this will cater.
Thqanks and Regards,
Sunil

Enhance 0MATERIAL with Profit Centre

Hi guys,
    Suppose that I have Characteristic ZMAT which gets data from 0MATERIAL_ATTR.
   However, now I need to enhance ZMAT to populate Profit Centre which resides in MARC TABLE(Not carried by data source 0MATERIAL_ATTR). Also to note that MARC data is plant specific, in other words the Profit Centre is plant specific.
   How then can I model this enhancement ?

Hi Chris,
You can create a view o MARC and include the required fields from it and then a generic data source. But then again you have to first load it to and ODS and then load it to the info object 0MAT_PLANT by creating update rules. This is what we have done and the extrctor is running fine till now. If you dont load it to the ODS you may face extractin problems for that appended field.
