Profi Center maintenance

Hi
I am in the process of maintaining Profit centers master data on Rel 4.0b.
On entering KE51 I get Initial Screen with Validity period only, i.e without the profit center name field.I have maintained this master data before while using menu path and experienced the same problem. However the system responded normally when I used the T/Code.
As for today, the system responded for some time when I used menu path and transaction code. Lately, someone took Dev to do something on the system. Dev is back now but the system is not responding to either menu path or T/Code. Please help.

Dear Babu,
While creating PO you can select Cost center and also you need to maintain KS01 cost center and profit center 1:1 ratioo so that based on cost center your profit center will be modified accordingly.
I hope the answer may be useful.

Profit Center issue when executing GR55

Hi Experts,
I was reported by the business users that they see transactions with the Dummy Profit Centers when they run report for Balance Sheet and P&L Statements. They dont want to see any Dummy Profit Center Report Transactions in their financial statementsin both BSand P&LStatements.
For example a number of Documents posted against same G/L account and few of them have dummy profit centers, users doesn't want to see them.
I already checked in tables BSAD,BSID, BSIS,BSAD, BKPF,BSEG
TCodes: FAGL3KEH (No default profit centers allocated to anyone of the company codes), FBL3N, FBL5N, VF03
So we know that there is issue but I need to know the process to find it.
Can anyone help me out the procedure to find out the issue. This is very high priority issue.
Thanks,
Andy Roger

Refer to the IMG Activity Documentation for the following IMG Node.
Financial Accounting (New) -> General Ledger Accounting (New) -> Master Data -> Profit Center -> Create Dummy Profit Center
Here is the documentation:
Create Dummy Profit Center
This function lets you create the dummy profit center for the current controlling area.
The dummy profit center is updated in data transfers whenever the object to which the data was originally posted (cost center, order, and so on) is not assigned to a profit center. This ensures that the data in Profit Center Accounting is complete. You can later send the data on the dummy profit center to the other profit centers using assessment or distribution.
You create the master record for the dummy profit center using this special transaction. To change or display it, use the normal profit center maintenance functions.
The name of the dummy profit center is displayed in the controlling area settings for Profit Center Accounting.
Prerequisites
The standard hierarchy must exist for the current controlling area.
Actions
Enter the name of the dummy profit center. The rest of the steps are the same as when you create a normal profit center.
Choose the function Extras -> Set controlling area first to make sure that the correct controlling area is set.
I am guessing this is where your dummy profit center postings are coming from (a cost center / order or some other account assignment object that is not assigned to a profit center). It should be mandatory (in your month-end close) to run reports on dummy profit center(s) and move balances, if any, to the real profit center, before you pull financial statements.

Create a new profit center

Hi all,
What is the different between analysis period and validity period which appear on profit center maintenance screen (KE52)? I found out that both of the field will always bocome the same after I activate the profit center, even if I purposely differential it initially...
There are 2 buttons in the screen, which is 'period of examination' and 'change validity period'. How to use the button period of examination?
Thanks.

Validatity period is the life of the Profit center
In Examination period you can mention the Person responsible for the profit center (different people who are responsible for the different intervals)
Validity period = 01/01/2008 to 31/12/2020
Examination period = 01/01/2008 to 31/12/2010
Peron responsible = Jim
Examination period = 01/01/2011 to 31/12/2020
Peron responsible = Jack

Origin Object Type for Plant Maintenance Orders in Profit Center Accounting

Hi,
I want to make a selection for plant maintenance orders in transaction KE5Z, report for line items in Profit Center Accounting. When checking possible input options for the selection field <b></b>Origing Object Type<b></b> the system shows value 15 for Maintenance Orders. However I discovered in our system the maintenance orders are reported as Origing Object Type 03, which is Overhead Orders according to the selection list. So I cannot distinguish between overhead orders and maintenance orders in this report.
What is the cause our maintenance orders are assigned to Origin Object Type 03 in stead of 15 and what is the customizing transaction to correct this ?

Looks like, this is no longer supported. Refer to note 168004 and 102434.
Cause and prerequisites
These functions were not programmed to meet the above requirements.
As of Release 4.0, the object type is transferred directly.
Solution
Once you have implemented the advance correction. the origin object type 'Overhead cost order' (03) is assigned irrespective of what is the SCOPE for orders.
As a result of implementing this note or as of Release 4.6B, the order category distinguishes between overhead cost orders and production orders in the origin object type. In this case, the following origin object types result (as described above in 1.):
Order category 04 to 10, 40 => 04 (production order)
All other order categories => 03 (overhead cost order)
The logic that the origin object type was set depending on the object class (as described above in 2.) is no longer supported. The object class can be evaluated separately in Reporting. -
The corrections of this note refer in Release 4.0B to the corrections from Note 102434.

Responsible Cost Center and Profit Center in a Maintenance Order

Dears,
I would like to know what's the real influence that responsible cost center and profit center located in the
"add. data" tab in maintenance order has when I confirm a labor (through the IW41) and settlement an maintenance order.
Best Regards,
D. Quint.

D Quintal,
When you perform a confirmation (IW41) the cost centre assigned to the work centre is credited, and the order debited.
This work centre cost centre may be the same cost centre as the responsible cost centre in the order...

Profit Center to be picked from Equipment Cost center in Maintenance Order

Hi All
We are not maintianing any costcenter in work center and only maintaning the cost center in equipment master.
So when i create the maintenance order, profit center is not picked up in Additional Data Tab from Cost center maintained in equipment master.
Please provide your valuable sugesstions.
Regards
Praveen

Hi,
The profit center is derived from the cost center of the responsible work center when the order is first created. If a cost center is not available then I expect the profit center cannot be automatically filled on the order. The user can manually enter a value.
The exit IWO10005 is frequently used to determine the profit center. You may want to look at implementing some custom logic there.

Subsititute cost center, profit center, BA in maintenance order Addit.Tab

Hello.
I wonder if it's possible to substitute cost center, profit center, BA in maintenance order Addit.data Tab
according to the WBS element
I think, in maintenance order Addit data Tab (IW31),
cost center and profit center is coming from work center.
and business area is coming from equipment or functional location master which I input
But the thing is WBS has that informaiotn(cost center, profit center, BA ) as well.
and since we need to use the same information(cost center, profit center, BA )
so Users need to change cost center, profit center, BA after checking WBS element information(CJ13)
so, is there any way to substitute(or change) cost center, profit center, BA automatically
in maintenance order Addit.data TAB, when I input WBS element and press enter key?
any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Thank you for your reply
Could you tell me more how to have a look at IWO10010 Maint. order
(Cust. enhancement for determining WBS element)
I'm kinda new in ABAP so please help me

Profit Center Hierarchy Maintenance

Hello
As part of a project we need to transfer an existing Profit Center Hierarchy (including all Profit Center groups and Profit Centers) to a different Controlling Area. The hierarchy in question contains over 2500 Profit Centers and we would like to avoid doing this manually, to reduce both time and margin for error.
We know that we can use KCH1 to copy the Profit Center Groups to the new Controlling Area, using the original Controlling Area as a reference, but this does not copy across the Profit Centers master data.
Master Data transaction KE55, does not allow Controlling Area to be amended.
Questions:
- Is there a way to transfer/copy the complete hierarchy (including Profit Centers) to a different Controlling Area?
If we use KCH1 - how can we copy/reassign the Profit Centers to the new Controlling Area?
Any ideas for this would be greatly appreciated
Thanks

Hi
It can not be fully the way you like...
You can go to KCH4 and select your Prof Ctr Hie.. Click on Extras > Export... This would create a text file...
Create Std Hie with same name in new contr area and SAVE.. Then click on Extras > Import.... This would create the Hie Structure and also the profit center names under it.. But, as such the Prof Ctrs wont be created...
You need to create them again using KE51... Ideal way would be to create it using reference of the same profit center (LSMW)

Profit Center Derivation in Service (CS) order

Hello All,
I need some inputs / clarifications on below query.
Service Order is being created with internal / external labors / services / materials. Debit memo request has been created.
In Service Order & Debit Memo Request, Profit center has been derived from Responsible work center which has been maintained in Main Work Center in Header tab of Service order.
Hope, this is standard functionality.
But I want to get the Profit Center based on my reference technical object. I understand by going through many threads that profit center derivation from technical object's cost center can be done only though development as suggested in Profit center substitution in IW31/ IW32.
Just by having curiosity as this thread had been posted in 2009, is there any new enhancement or functionality by which profit center can be derived from technical object's cost center??
Looking forward your suggestions...

Maheswaran KD,
Yes, as standard the profit centre is determined from the cost centre in the main work centre.
Have a look at user-exit IWO10005: Maintenance order: Customer specific determination of profit centre

Profit Center was not maintained during order n billing creation.

Dear, Gurus
I'm facing a problem of Profit Center. User created a service material, maintenance contract. They created a Billing Document as it is order related billing. Accounting document was not generated when saving invoice. When I got to the bottom of this I realized no costing tabs were ever maintained for material type services. (Henceforth no Profit Center in Sales Order n Invoice).
I have done the necessary config n assignments but question now is what should I do as in billing doc the field is greyed out it will not allow me to assign Pr Center now. I am thinking that this may work if I cancel the billing document and then go back to sales order and try and changing the field, then re-create the invoice. I'm trying to avoid canceling. Is there any program, bapi, user exit I may use to re assign or make system re check the MM while saving invoice to allow accounting document to be created? This is one scenario.
2nd scenario is similar but in the case of this contract everything was made. Accounting document was cleared even but with some dummy weird Profit Center. (No proft center in Order nor invoice.) Whole problem at first in this scenario is User saying everything is complete so status in doc flow should show maintenance contract as complete but wasn't. it showed being processed. I discovered no completion rule was maintained. I maintained E Full target value referenced but status still has not changed any idea guys? (New config not showing on old existing data only show on new document, concept?) Is there a program or anything to make system update status doc flow? aside from this Profit center incompletion log is coming in Contract. Not maintained in order or invoice.

In one of my earlier projects, a similar requirement was putforth by users and we had developed a zee tcode to change the profit center in billing document via SM30 which can be done only by FI authorised users.
I am reproducing the said program as under:-

          IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
             COUNT = COUNT + 1.
          ENDIF.
          COMMIT WORK.
          CLEAR IT_VBRP.
      ENDLOOP.
ENDIF.

    CONCATENATE 'No Of Records Updated Is - ' COUNT INTO W_MESSAGE.
    MESSAGE I000(ZSFL) WITH W_MESSAGE.
ELSE.
    MESSAGE 'No Records Updated' TYPE 'S'.
ENDIF.
Since I am so weak in ABAP coding, not sure whether the above coding is correct. You need to check with your ABAPers and develop this logic. This should work.

Creation Of new profit center group

Dear Experts,
I would like to know who will create profit center group. What is the role of an abaper in creation of profit center group. How much time will it take to create a new profit center group.

Hi,
Certainly, not. It's not a major development, but a standard data maintenance. Even for reporting, standard ones, the creation of a new group does not mean additional development, as it will be automatically reflexed in the reports.
