Posting depreciation run (AFAB) for profit center

I have 3 plants and each plant is created as separate profit center.
All plants want to run and post depreciation independently. So i wanted to know if AFAB (depreciation posting) can be executed profit center-wise.
Please advice

There are no SAP notes.
Because we are looking something beyond the original design of the system.
You can post the depreciation per company code, but not for profit center. In AFAB, you cannot get profit center selection screen.
As a statistical object, finally your profit center gets the postings, which you can view them in the report.
But, if you want to run AFAB based on profit center selection criteria, then, it is NOT possible. There is NO SAP notes for that.

Fixed assets depreciation run fails when profit center not belong to Dim 1

Hi all,
I face the below issue:
- Fixed assets depreciation run summarized by distribution rule fails with error when profit center does not belong to Dimension 1.
I have search teh SAP notes and found the same issue. It says:
-> SAP Business One Fixed Assets Add-on only supports cost accounting for Dimension 1
Anyone knows whether 8.8 PL 13 also same issue?
Does SAP planned to rectify this?
Thanks.

Dear Wei Lan, Veron Liu
As described in the note 1371619 this is a limitation/definition of the current product version:
No other note has been published so far on this subject, so what it is said on that note, it remains valid in 8.8
In order to push for a change in product definition we recomend to post this request in
/community [original link is broken]

Unable to post depreciation run - AFAB

Dear All,
I have a AUC with capitalisation date 16.06.2011. On 4.02.2011, I have wrongly depreciated the AUC. On realising my mistake, I changed the Depreciation key to 'MANU' from '0000' and posted a transaction with Transaction Type '640 - Unplanned depreciation on prior-year acquisitions. Now when I try to execute the depreciation run for period 1 - 2012, which was terminated, I am still getting the error - 'Account 'Accumulated dep. account unpl. deprec.' could not be found for area 01'.
Diagnosis
When creating the accounting document, the system could not find account 'Accumulated dep. account unpl. deprec.' in depreciation area 01 for company code XXXX.
Procedure
Enter this account in the account determination for Asset Accounting.
Since this is an AUC account, account determination to a GL is not appropiate.
Kindly suggest how to proceed, as I am unable to complete my depreciation run.
Thanks
Rosalyn

Hello Konnipati,
Issue is not yet resolved.
The details of the issue are as follows:
1) The user has changed the depreciation key from '0000 to 'MANU' in
one of the AUC and posted unplanned dep. in ABSO transaction.
2) The dep.run was executed for the month end close on the same day.
3) The dep run got terminated with the error
message: 'Account 'Accumulated dep. account unpl. deprec.' could not be
found for area 01' Message no. AU133.
4) The user realised the mistake and reversed the unplanned
depreciation document immediately.
5) Then they tried to execute the 'RESTART' dep. run. But the system is
still showing the same error message.
6) We changed the dep.key from 'MANU' to '0000' in AUC master.
We replicated this scenario in Quality. We tried to resolve the error
by transfering the AUC to new AUC in the same Asset Class.
The values of the AUC got posted to the new AUC without any
depreciation and the old AUC got deactivated.
We then executed the RESTART depreciation run, but we still get the
same error.
6) Since this is a AUC, we cannot assign any GL accounts.
Please let us know your suggestions to resolve the error message in the
depreciation run.
Thanx
Rosalyn

Depreciation Run executed for a period but no posting found

Dear Experts,
I have checked a few of the FA in the Fixed Asset Master, and confirmed that they have not been depreciation run yet for period "2009-02". My current period is set to "2009-02" as well.
But when I tried to run depreciation run for "2009-02", I always get no posting.
What could have cause this problem?
Much Thanks in Advance!
Warmest Regards,
Chinho

Hi Chinho,
1, please make sure there is APC value for the asset. Means:
acquisition was created for the asset. You can check it from FA master data->document tab
Or the asset was imported into system with a APC value.
2, If the acquisition/import was done before current fiscal year, please make sure 'fiscal year change' to current fiscal year was done.

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.

Post balance sheet account to profit center accouting

Hi.experts.
I want to post some blance sheet accounts to profit center accounting,these account include material stock,wip. what should I do?
thanks in advance.
Fannt

Hello
Balance sheet items can be transferred periodically or online in realtime
You can transfer the following balance sheet items to Profit Center Accounting in the standard SAP system at end of period:
    Payables and receivables
   Material stocks
   Assets
   Work in process
This can be done in period closing activities for AR/AP
The assignment of payables and receivables to various profit centers is basically derived from the offsetting entry line of the FI document to which they belong. It is not possible to make structural changes to them within Profit Center Accounting. If, for example, you assign a new profit center to a material, or change the derivation rules when creating sales orders, these actions do not affect the assignments of documents which have already been posted.
The payables and receivables to be divided are calculated in FI at the end of the period. To do so, call up the SAP Easy Access screen and choose Accounting ® Financial Accounting ® General Ledger ® Periodic Tasks ® Closing ® Regroup ® Debit Balance Sheet Account Subsequently.
Enter the company codes for which you want to perform the calculation. For these company codes, the payables and receivables are divided according to profit center and business area. The results are then saved.
You can now transfer the data to Profit Center Accounting. Do not choose the next menu option Post B/S readjustment n Financial Accounting. Instead, transfer the data in the Profit Center Accounting application menu, under Actual Postings ® Period Closing ® Transfer Payables/Receivables
You obtain a list of all the company codes in the active controlling area. Select the desired company codes and the period and fiscal year which you want to transfer to Profit Center Accounting.
The system then 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
You can call up the function for transferring material stocks in Profit Center Accounting Customizing, under Actual Postings ® Transfer Selected Balance Sheet Items ® Set Up Material Stocks.
The selection screen provides you with the choice of all company codes within the active controlling area. Select the period to be transferred. The current period is always based on the status of Materials Management. Normally, the data from the previous period is transferred.
You access the transfer function by choosing the following path from the Customizing menu for Profit Center Accounting: Actual postings ® Transferring selected balance sheet items ® Generate opening balance for work in process.
The selection screen provides you with the choice of all company codes within the active controlling area. You also enter the period and fiscal year.
You generally work with the standard results analysis version 0. Should you wish to use a different results analysis version, note that this must be set up in CO Customizing for updating in Financial Accounting, as the corresponding account determination is required.
The program transfers all changes in work in process within a single period. When running this function for the first time with a given controlling area, please select the field Create opening balance. The system then posts the opening balance to the start period. You can also post the opening balance to period 01 at fiscal year change, so avoiding having to carry the balance forward.
You access the transfer program by selecting Actual postings ® Transferring selected balance sheet items ® Generate opening balance for assets in Customizing for Profit Center Accounting.
The selection screen provides you with the choice of all company codes within the active controlling area. The depreciation area book depreciation per trade law (01) is provided as a default. You also select the posting period and the fiscal year.
You should run the program in the background, as large amounts of data are normally selected. If you select the field Line item, a line item will be created for each asset in Profit Center Accounting. When handling a large volume of data, you should only use this option for test purposes.
The system assigns assets to profit centers indirectly, via assigned internal orders or cost centers (see Assigning Assets). The program transfers the acquisition and product costs, as well as cumulated value adjustments. The accounts used for this transfer are taken from account determination for Asset Accounting.
Note that it is only possible to calculate key figures (such as Return on Investment) in Profit Center Accounting correctly if an indirect statement of assets and depreciations is made in Financial Accounting

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.

Repeat depreciation run can change cost center in GL a/c or not?

Hi Gurus,
I have hit the following issue.
Fixed Asset 1 originally assigned to CC-01 for month of March.
And my user has run depreciation for March already.
Later she changed cost center to CC-02.
Then she repeat depreciation run for the month of March, from the depreciation result shows the new cost center CC-02.
But there is no document generated and thus from corresponding GL account, there is no change, still point to CC-01.Which means CC-02 has not been posted to GL account yet.
May I please know if repeat depreciation run can change cost center in GL a/c or not?
If cannot, what should be the correct way to post the new cost center in GL?
Thanks a lot.
Best Regards
Li Juan

Hi, I have tried the method you mentioned.
I managed to generate the new document (Message shows: Document is posted under number 7500000000).
So can I say that repeat depreciation run cannot change cost center for corresponding cost element?
Everytime user has to do manual posting.
Thanks a lot.

Reporting - restricted for profit center-wise

Hi
My client has two profit centers (1000 and 2000) in one company code. Both profit centers are totally independent. Now my client requirement is that when user of profit center 1000 runs AR01 (i.e. asset balances), he should be able to see assets only for his profit centers i.e. 1000. Asset of profit center 2000 should not appear in that report.
In EHP 4, there is provision for Profit Center-wise document posting, change and display functionality. But i want to know if this profit center-wise authorization will work for asset balances report (AR01) and other assets reports also.
Please help.
Edited by: Deepak Agrawal on Jan 1, 2012 5:43 PM

K_PCA or authorization object for profit center is not check in assets report.
In AR01 you cannot restrict the results to profit center as it is not checked in authorization . The fields which are checked are company code , Asset class and asset views.
Hence you will have to lookup for alternatives like selection based on plant or cost center or responsible cost center etc.
In case if the requirement is a show stopper then you will have to code the things in Enhancement points as there are no BADI or Exits available for the same .
Cheers,
Dewang

What is the criteria for define GL for profit center

Dear Profit center Guru,
Can guide , what is the business logic to "Choose Additional Balance Sheet and P&L Accounts/Choose Accounts" for profit center. all the Proft Loss accounts should be there? or what kind of PL should be there , and what kind of Balance sheet accounts should be defined for profit center.
Thanks,
Kick

Hi H.Kick
at Choose Additional Balance Sheet and P&L Accounts/Choose Accounts we define which accounts or account intervals we want to transfer to Profit Center Accounting. It is imperative that we maintain all the GL accounts which need to be transferred to Profit center. Needless to say that if we donu2019t maintain the GL accounts here, the balance will not be transferred to PCA.
This setting is also particularly required, if no profit center is entered for a specific transaction in one of these GL accounts, the system posts to the default profit center for that account interval.
This particular configuration can also be called from the SAP easy access
menu by entering 3KEH in the command field.
Note that the GL codes for Customers and Vendors including Advances (special GL account) which are called Reconciliation accounts should not be maintained in the 3KEH table. Reason being the Customers and Vendors line items are not transferred to the PCA module online. We have to run month
end programs to transfer Customer and Vendor balance from FI module to PCA Module
These are GL codes which are reconciliation accounts for customer and vendors, that should be excluded from the 3KEH table.
Hope i tried my best to make you clear on this.
as well see comments in the thread by MR.vanne what is the criteria for define GL for profit center
Thanks...Vyas

Report Painter Report for Profit Center

Hi All,
I am creating a report for profit center in GRR1.I was using library 8A3,& ledger 8A.which uses for PCA line i tems and table used is GLPCT.which shows profit center totals by period.I ran GLPCT in SE16 and found out No data selected.I see that profit center accounting is not active in my system ECC6.0
and I didn't see any line records for profit center in any of the profit center tables.GLPCA.Now if someone knidly suggets me how to achieve this report, can I still do it profit center wise or not? which library should i use in GRR1.The layout of my report is as under.Thanks

Thanks Abhijit , I can now see my report group at the bottom of the list .I assigned you full points.I posted another question regarding report painter .If you could also give me some guidance on that.When I was creating rows and updating cost elements with account numbers.I set up 3 revenue accounts and then ran the report to see if I get any data for profit centers.I did get data but when I double clicked on one of the account,it displays this messsage.I read the msg. but could not make any sense with it.for example in definning row I put account number from/to 400000- 400000    Explode. and thats a characteristic.
No valid master data for characteristic 'Account Number'
Report MEG1 does not contain any data pages.
No valid master data for characteristic 'Account Number'
Message no. GR633
Diagnosis
No valid master data within the specified interval was found for the characteristic 'Account Number'.
Explanation:
For each characteristic that is processed in a report, the Report Writer optimizes the interval limits which are relevant for selecting data from the database.
Example:
A report contains the characteristic 'account', for which an account interval from 100000 to 200000 has been entered. However, if the master data validation shows that the lowest/highest account in this interval is 110000/190000, the selection will be limited to accounts 110000 to 190000 only.
The system returns this error message if no master data exists for the interval.
This error is typically caused by an invalid version. In FI-SL Special Purpose Ledger, for example, versions are assigned to the ledger and are defined in configuration. The report definition can then contain a non-defined version. A similar situation applies to controlling (cost center accounting): here, versions are assigned to the controlling area and fiscal year and can be defined in planning.
Another cause of this error is a ledger that is not assigned to the table for which the report was created.
Technical information:
The field name for 'Account Number' is 'RACCT'.
System Response
The system cancels processing.
Procedure
Check the report definition, or the specified master data, or the intervals.
Regards
Shaun

Post Goods Issue Accounting Entry & Profit Center Updation???

Dear All,
At the time of Post Goods issue it generates an accountng entry.
we are getting an error related to Profit center.
we maintained profit center in the sales order. and please clarify me can we create cost element for COGS account which hits at this level.
I am getting the following errror.
Balancing field "Profit Center" in line item 001 not filled
Message no. GLT2201
Diagnosis
The field Profit Center marked as balancing is not filled with any value in line item 001, even after document splitting.
System Response
The document cannot be posted.
Procedure
First check your entries.
Additional causes could be:
No value can be derived for this field from the current document data.
You have entered a document type that is not designed for this business purpose.
Procedure for System Administration
Customizing
But we need profit cener wise balance sheet.
so please guide me.
regards,
shashi kanth.

If you define document splitting criteria based on Profit Center and if your document contains multiple line items with different profit center, this type of error will come.
To check this, Go to IMG Path -- Financial Accounting (New) --> General Ledger Accounting (New) --> Document Splitting --> Define Document Splitting Characteristics for General Ledger
There check whether the mandatory check box is selected for profit Center. So check in your delivery document, whether any line item does not have profit center.
You can also have a look at any of the following notes
a) 995055
b) 1074689
c) 1079819
