Profir Center Update for Vendor Line Item

Question

Hi,
While entering an inter company document, cost center is required field for the expense line item. The system is picking up the profit center based on the cost center. However, while saving the document I  am getting a error message that you can not post to profit center XX in company code 2. The profit center is only assigned to company code 1 (KE52) and it is not to be assigned to company code 2. Ideally the vendor line item should be assigned to dummy profit center maintained in config but system is picking the profit center assigned to expense line item. The following entery is being passed and the document type is AB. Document Splitting is active.
Expenses A/c. Dr - company code 1 - PC - XX
To Vendor            - company code 2
can anyone help me with the same?

Answer 1

Hi,
Validations are in 3 steps (Mostly Inter-company transaction fetch this validation in sequence)
1) Derivation Rule
2) Default   
3) Dummy
Option 1:
T-code: 3KEI
setup default profit centre by company code and GL Account
if above does not resolve your issue then also setup option 2
Option 2:
Create substitution rule on document completion level
If G/L account is (B/S) XXXXXX u2013 XXXXXX and company code is 2
   then PC = 2
End if
try first in test system
