Postings to profit center

Hi Friends,
I have a scenario in PCA where the cost is to be allocated to different profit centers.
Entry:
Repairs&Maintenance (GL)      A (Cost center)      1000 (Amount)    Dr
Repairs&Maintenance (GL)      A (Cost center)      2000 (Amount)    Dr
Bank (GL)                                                                3000 (Amount )   Cr
In the above entry
The line item 1 is to be posted to profit center PC1
The line item 2 is to be posted to profit center PC2
Now the profit center derived is from cost center master data, in my case the profit center assigned to cost center A is PC1.
How can we achieve this, need your inputs friends.
Or to put it the other way, we need one cost center to be assigned to different Profit centers, or is it possible to input profit center at the time of transaction entry overriding the profit center assigned to cost center or material etc.
Regards,

Hi Eli,
Actually, its not one to one relation of cost center to profit center. for example 5 cost centers service they service the whole company and we cant allocate that to any particualr profit center.
User don't want assessment or distribution at period end. because there is no fixed criteria based on which this cost can be distributed among profit centers. they want to book the actual cost as it incurs to respective profit center.
Any suggestions on how to achieve this.
Regards,

How can I make postings to Profit center in fb01?

Dear All,
I have activated profit center accounting. And I have created dummy profit center in spro.
I want to use profit center as objects for statistical postings. I have opened field profit center in fb01.
Now when I make actual posting for cost center or internal order I can define profit center too. But even if I choose needed profit center the system puts automatically dummy profit center.
How can I avoid this and define profit center I want?
With best regards,
Kamila Zhakenova.

Hi
You can not achieve that... The PC in FI postings cant be changed when you are making posting to a Cost Element
If there is no PC in your CO object, then Dummy PC will be forced into the posting..
However, if you want to change this behaviour, it is as follows:
But note that, SAP wont take the responsibility for the inconsistency that may arise due to this

Postings on profit center but does not appear in the profit center report

Hi all!
I have a very strange problem. My customer is using cost of sales accounting. When I reconcile the cost of sales accounting profit and loss report with a profit center or cost center report I found that for a certain month there is a few descrepancies. I found that for a certain functional area I had postings on a specific account (account 451240 loss price differences) on functional area and both on cost center and profit center but these postings does not appear in the profit center or cost center reports. When I look at the postings in fbl3n or fs10n I can see that they are assigned to both cost centers and profit centers. How is this possible? How can a posting be made to a cost center or profit center but not appear in the corresponding reports?
Many thanks for help in advance,
Åsa

Problem solved

Profit center posting.

Hi Guys,
Are the profit center postings real or statistical postings?
The profit center derives the amount from the cost center.
Where can we see the statistical postings or real postings on profit centers?
Thanks
Srik.

I agree that profit center postings are extremely useful in reporting and decision making but the term "statistical posting" has a different meaning in the context of account assignment in Controlling. Here's an excerpt from SAP help ([http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60_sp/helpdata/en/eb/1370e343c411d1896f0000e8322d00/content.htm]):
Profit Center Accounting is a statistical accounting component ... The postings in PROFIT CENTER ACCOUNTING are statistical postings, since the profit center is not itself an account assignment object in Controlling.
Here's another ([http://help.sap.com/saphelp_40b/helpdata/en/08/5142b643b511d182b30000e829fbfe/content.htm]):
In Controlling, you can post only to profit centers in addition to real Controlling objects. Costs and revenues thus post to profit centers statistically only. Profit centers are based on real Controlling objects.
I thought that the intent of the original question was quite clear. Please do let me know if I am incorrect.
Thanks,

Profit center balances transfer from old profit centers to new profit cente

Dear All,
My client wants to deactivate all cost centers and profit centers and create new cost centers and new profit centers for new fiscal year 2009.
So here my queries are
1. Putting an end date to the existing cost center and creating the New cost center now itself in the system with effective date as 1st April 09?
    I changed validity period in cost center but it does not accept.
2. How to restrict postings to profit center from April, 2009 ? even changed validity period and changed as inactive mode in profit center,
    It is allowing postings to profit center.
3. How the balances need to be transferred to New profit centers? I tried in 9KE0 T.code but in this T.code we can transfer profit center and GL A/C wise
    but here we have around 20 profit centers and 100 above Gls, so it will take so much of time, so kindly suggest me short way.
4. And When can we transfer balances to New profit centers i.e April 1st or after completions of Audit? because client wants to post pending transactions of 2008 FY
    to old profit centers in April and May months. So in this situation how can i proceed?
5. For mapping the Assets & Liabilities balances as on 31st Mar 2009 to New profit center the following need to be provided
    A. Profit center wise Trail balance
        ( For this i suggested S_PL0_86000030 t.code) is this correct?
    B. Profit center wise Balances of Subsidiary Ledgers i.e Vendors, Customers & Assets
6. On which date I can close 2008 FY& open 2009 fiscal year for Assets?
Please guide and provide me solutions above my queries.
This would be great help for me, Thanks in advance.
Thanks & Regards,

1.     You can block cost centers and profit centers and create new or can use same by changing analysis period Eg: KS02 > Edit > Analysis period
2.     Select lock indicator in profit center master record
3.     Write LSMW to that
6. At the end of you fiscal year close the asset period and do all year end transactions and open new asset period
You can use S_PL0_86000030 check it

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?

Dummy profit center allocation

Hi
How to handle Default Profit Center (PC) which is assigned to G/L account using T-Code 3KEH. Where as the same PC should go to the respective PC from where the entries are originated. Default profit center is assigned for auto generated postings like Input/Output tax, Withholding tax, Bank Account.
The above requirement arise where PC wise Trial Balance is required for MIS reporting. In this case, default profit center(s) are to be reposted to the respective PC. So, that the MIS reporting will be meaningful.
Pls. let me know, if you have solution.
Thanks,
Raghavan

For auto posting of AR & AP you exclude those accounts from 3KEH and run the tranfer run 1KEH. That allocates a profit center to the posting. For FA you also run a tranfer posting. For other auto postings the profit center should come thorgh. For material it must be in the material master data. You can also use FI substitutions to derive the profit center in OBBH. Reposting is done in 9KE0 - Enter .
pls assign points to say thanks.

Hi
Pls find enclosed the replies
1.Pls tick all the lock indicators. System would not allow the posting to the cost centers
2. for the analysis, maintain the lock indicator to the profit center. System would give an error when anybody tries to post to the profit center during the analysis period. please note system would allow posting to the profit center outside the analysis period of lock indicator
3.You should transfer the balances through LSMW or other mass data transfer tool like BDC or ECATT
4.I Guess you should finish all your transactions and then do the transfer on a date which is acceptable to the business
5. The report code S_Pl0_86000030 is correct.
6. Try the report codes S_ALR_87013343 - Profit Center: Receivables , S_ALR_87013344 - Profit Center: Payables

Profit Center Field Not deriving during Asset Postings

We are using document splitting functionality with profit center mandatory for any kind of posting.
Scenario-Asset purchase through PO:
1.Purchase Order -created
2.At goods receipt error is coming balancing filed is not filled (bcoz asset is not a material), for materials we are giving profit center. in the asset master i assigned cost center, still profit center is not deriving.
Scenario-Asset Purchase from vendor
purchasing asset directly from vendor through F-90, against asset line item we have to assign profit center. Cost center & profit center is coming in display mode. in the asset master i already maintained cost center, still profit is not deriving.
I already done config for field status asset account number (G067) andPosting Keys (70,75). I also checked note no.684659.
how profit center will be derived for any kind of asset postings.
Thanks
Sai

I think you might be using the account assignment category 'A' in the Purchase order for asset purchase. Please check the IMG for account assignment category thru transaction 'OME9'. For the relevant account assignment category you are using in the PO, tick the checkbox against 'Derive acct.assgt.'
That should solve your problem.

Assign Functional area to Profit Center Distribution Cycle postings

Hi All,
I am using a NEW GL distribution cycle (Tran Code : FAGLGA35) for distributing balances in the Dummy Profit center to relevent Profit centers.
My Company is using Functional area for FIN STAT Ver and other reportings. When I run the profit center distribution cycle, it distirbutes the amounts but doesnot assign the Functional areas to the posting. Is there a way I can pass the functional area of the relevent postings of the accounts to the postings of each distribution postings.
Thanks
MKR

Dear MKR,
Thank you for using the SAP SDN Forums,
In this particular case, you could have a look at the following to
see if it helps you, but I have not tested this for your case
so it is not being offered as a definite solution:
You could look at using FAGL_ALLO_SUBSTITUTE which might be able to
help you to get the results that you want.
Due to the inheritance logic in allocation, if you set "transfer
field" option active for the field (T811I-INHER), the system copies
the sender value to the receiver if the receive value is not specified.
Please refer to SAP Help portal:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2005vp/helpdata/en/40/e1510735f30baee10000000a114cbd/frameset.htm
You can deactivate "transfer field" flag in customizing
and use BAdI : FAGL_ALLO_SUBSTITUTE to substitute the intended
functional area. (This BAdI is the "official" way to substitute any
field during allocation, rather than OBBH substitution.)
I hope this may be of some assistance in resolving the issue.
Kind Regards,
Brendan

1. Change profit center 1000 using transaction KE52 to extend it to company code 2000 as well.
2. Make sure the following configuration exists in IMG Path: Financial Accounting (New) -> General Ledger Accounting (New) -> Business Transactions -> Document Splitting -> Extended Document Splitting -> Define Document Splitting Rule.
For your document splitting method (you can see the method in your system from the node 'Assign Document Splitting Method'), Transaction 0300 (Vendor Invoice), the following item categories exist.
01100     Company Code Clearing     CC = CC of leading item
01100     Company Code Clearing     CC <> CC of leading item

Allocation of Profit Center actual postings

Hi all,
Have a question regarding on how to allocate the actual postings done to a profit center.
Are there any other methods aside from the assessment (3KE5) and distribution (4KE5).
Also, i have found a sap note that allows the creation of cycles (assessment, distribution, etc) without automatic creating the transport request. Is this safe? Have anybody tried using this?
Thank you all in advance
Regards, Erwin

Hi Erwin
1. CReation of the alloc cycles w/o TR is absolutely safe
You use this when you want to create cycles directly in production.. However, if you want to create and transport from DEV, then dont use it
2. Apart from Assemt and Distr, there is no other easy way to do this.... 9KE0 will frustrate you because it is manual
