Profit center 1101 saved in inactive status

Dear ALL:
I have created a Segment in SPRO in Enterprise structure. Now i want to assign it to Profit centre ,when i assign it to a newly created profit centre it saves the profit centre in inactive status. Actually i want to post revenue entries to new segment created through its assingment in Profit master data. But it disables the profit centre and hence posting cant be done.

Validate Profit Center before saving PO

Hello.
Does anyone knows if possible avoid some entries in profit center field? Some buyers creates a few purchase order using a Dummy Profit Center, and this is not correct.
I wondering if there any way to avoid it, and donu2019t let buyers create purchase orders with profit center dummy.
I appreciate your help.
Regards,
Hector

Hi,
There is no standard functionality available for this you may have to use user exit or BADI to put the validation while saving PO
BADI ME_PROCESS_PO_CUST can be used
Please also check from CO side if you can block that profit center with validity termination
Thanks

Profit Center authorization - New GL

My client is using the new GL for Profit Center reporting and the Profit Center Accounting module is inactive. There is a requirement to restrict profit center manager's reporting access - summary reports (GR55) and line items - to their own profit centers.
I have tried using the profit center accounting authorization objects - K_PCA and K_PCAR_REP - but neither one seems to restrict the profit center centers reported.
Can anyone advise me on the correct authorization objects for Profit Center reporting in the New GL?
Thanks in advance,
Marc H

Hi
Report writer / painter is a mess from an authorisation perspective.
From previous experience OSS note 107394 should fix this particular problem for New G/L reporting. If you still have problems work through the notes available when searching OSS for "GR55 AND Authorizations"

Profit center problem

Hi Experts,
There is problem for my user: While posting the transactons in VF01 the user selected correct plant & wrong profit center. We can change the profit centers through 9KE0 but it is not reflecting in Financials.
One more opition we have that we can post the transactions in F-02 but the system is not allowing to give profit center, Even we put Profit Center is mandadory in Field Status variant.
Its an urgent issue Plz. any body can help me in this regard.

Hi
Normally as rightly said, the profit center is derived from Material master for customer or vendor.
In case for customer you want to use a different profit center other than what is derived from material master, you can use the option substitution of profit center depending on the sales org/dist channel/etc...and other fields available in the substitution.

How to mix default profit center and mandatory profit center ?

Dear all,
I have defined that the profit center is mandatory for all accounts (with the field status group).
For some accounts, I have defined a default profit center in spro.
When I do a posting for those accounts, and I don't key in a value for profit center, I receive the error message "An entry is required in Profit center field for account xxxx". But, the account has a default profit center defined in spro.
Why the default profit center is not taken in consideration before to display the error message ?
Is there any solution ?
Thanks for your help

When the field status group for an account mandates a field, it has to be filled in ENTRY view, i.e. when you are entering the document. System would not let you go further until the field is filled with a valid value. Default profit center configuration gets triggerred subsequently (just before the posting).
Solution: For account for which you have default profit center configuration, change the field status group so profit center is optional.

Profit Center status is inactive

We have profit centers that we have marked for deletion that is the status is Iactive.
But the system still allows postings to the profit center.
Have we missed a step?
Thanks
Ravi Rana

Hi,
In PCA you lock the profit center if you do not wish to post to the profit center.
A status of inactive is exactly that ... inactive and not active. This means that the settings you have done are not active in SAP yet. Be careful not to shorten the validity period. You should get a message if this is what you have done. Anyway, you would need to activate the status. You can see that by using the icon near the status field in the Basic Data tab. It will switch between the active and inactive status and if you look at the settings and the validity period you should see where the inactive has the changes but not the active status. Again though inactive means not live in SAP yet and the active status is what SAP checks against.
To activate use the match icon.
Hope it helps ....if it does pl assign points

Profit centre - block for posting and put as inactive status

Hi Guru,
I want to block a profit centre from being posted to AND put the status as inactive.
I checked on the Lock indicator and the profit centre automatically becomes inactive. However, I can still post to the PC.
I noticed that if the PC has an "Active" status and the lock indicator on, then I cannot post to the PC.
What have I missed? Do I need to make the setting in a special sequence??
Linda

Hi,
Here is the step-by-step:
1.Go to T-code KE52 and call up your profit center
2. Go to the Indicators tab and put a check in the Lock indicator
3. Save:
Note that this will save your changes in an Inactive Status. You may be thinking that is a good thing and that youu2019re doneu2026I was. But youu2019re not. If you go to FB50 or 9KE0 and try to post to that profit center, it will let you post away all day long. One more step.
Click the Match stick button to Activate your new state:
Do not mess with the Validity periods unless youu2019ve got a good reason to. The real key here is setting the Lock indicator and making sure that is Active. Think of it as Actively locking your profit center.
Thank you
Pradeep

Definition of Inactive profit center

Hi,
can anyone explain me the meaning of Inactive Profit center.
By making incative, the posting goes through and if i lock, the postings are blocked. so what is the use of Inactive:Change, which come when I change the status..
Thanks.

inactive profit centres and how to-do procedure
The common practice to prevent postings to inactive profit centre is to lock the profit centre. Inactive does not necessary mean that it is not locked.... it merely meant that it is not longer used for posting. Otherwise, you might want to consider adding text description to indicate the inactive status.
The system does not post data to the changed version of the profit center until you have activated by choosing , thereby replacing the previous active version. When you activate the changed version, the system carries out the necessary checks. However, you can also have the system carry out these checks before activation, by choosing .
If an inactive version of a profit center exists, which you no longer require, remove it by choosing Edit ® Remove Inactive Version. Thereafter, the profit center exists in active status only.

ECCS - Adding Profit Center to Company Code Consolidation

Hello Gurus,
We use ECCS for our consolidation. We do only Legal consolidation and we also use Functional Area as a sub-item category for all the IS accounts. We are now trying to add Profit Center as one of the attributes. Initially, we planned to use the sub-item category, however, we can have only one and it's already taken by Functional Area. Is there a way I can
1. Add PC as an attribute
2. Enhance ECMCT to allow additional Sub-item?
Appreciate your advice and guidance.
Regards,
Venkat

The documentation at the menu path: t-code SPRO > Enterprise Controlling > Consolidation > Add Characteristics states:
Add Characteristics
The SAP standard consolidation database includes various preset characteristics, such as the consolidation unit, the financial statement (FS) item, the subitem, etc. If the information requirements of your group demand additional fields, you can define your own socalled custom characteristics.
This step shows you two ways to add characteristics to the consolidation database:
You can add up to five subassignments to the FS item.
You can add navigation attributes to the characteristic consolidation unit. The system then automatically assigns the same attribute to the characteristics partner unit and investee unit as well.
After adding a characteristic, the system generates the associated ABAP Dictionary objects and maintenance views.
To the consolidation database, you can also add characteristics based on structures that already exist in the SAP system (e.g. Region). However, you can also add characteristics, the structures of which still need to be generated.
Recommendation
Since custom characteristics extend the consolidation database, you should carefully examine which characteristics are to be added. SAP recommends, in particular, that you first finish creating the new characteristics, and that you make sure that want to use this set of data, before you activate the new characteristics and start the generation. This way you can avoid time-consuming deletions if a characteristic must be removed. Also, keep in mind that you can no longer delete a characteristic once you have posted data with the characteristic.
Example
Examples of subassignments for FS items are the Product Group and the Geographic Region.
An example of an attribute for consolidation units is the Company Type.
Standard settings
The standard SAP system already includes the following subassignments for FS items:
Partner unit
Subitem category and subitem
Transaction currency
Acquisition year
Acquisition period
Unit of measure
The standard SAP system already includes the following attributes for the consolidation unit:
Country
Company
Consolidation business area
Profit center
Controlling area
The attributes company, cons business area, profit center and controlling area are particularly useful when you use the integrated collection of reported financial data from your consolidation units.
Activities
1. Reorganize the field catalog. When this is done, the system copies the system field catalog into the customer field catalog. Choose Extras -> Field catalog -> Reorganize.
If you use integrated collection of reported data, during the reorganization you should include SAP's standard attributes in the selection. Note that, initially, these attributes are not included in the Reorganization selection screen.
2. If desired, create one or more new characteristics.
Enter the technical name (field name) of the new characteristic. The technical name must begin with the letters "ZZ".
Also set the appropriate indicator to define how the structure of the characteristic is to be built.
Technical Background Information:
Description, type, and length are properties of characteristics that you can enter directly or define by assigning a data element or domain. Data elements and domains are ABAP Dictionary objects that act as a central store of table field properties:
A data element defines the meaning of a field in business terms with texts and a reference to a domain.
A domain describes the technical properties of the field and defines permissible values for the characteristic if either of the following conditions is met:
- There is a list defining fixed values
- There is a reference to a check table
Normally data element and domain assignments are used to refer to check tables. You can, however, create a characteristic without any validation or texts by assigning a standard domain (for example CHAR07, NUM12).
Ways to create a characteristic:
a) Assigning a data element
Activate this indicator and assign a data element. The domain assignment is made by assigning the data element.
Note: If you run the elimination of IU profit/loss in transferred inventory and the system reads the required additional financial data from the totals database, you need to create the characteristic "product group" and assign it to data element FC_PRGRP.
b) Assigning a domain
Activate this indicator, then specify the meaning and assign a domain. By assigning a domain you define the type and length of the characteristic, and possibly you refer to fixed values or a check table.
c) Referencing a characteristic
Activate this indicator, then specify the description and set a reference to another characteristic. This has the effect of assigning the domain of the referenced characteristic.
d) Creating a characteristic with a new data element and check table
Activate this indicator, the specify the description, type (character or numeric), and length (1-32). The system generates a new check table for the characteristic.
e) Creating a characteristic without a check table (using a standard domain)
Activate this indicator and specify the description, type (character or numeric), and length (1-32). The system does not generate a check table.
Caution: Assigning data elements or domains does not itself ensure that validation, reading characteristic value texts, and Possible Entries Help will work as expected. The following conditions must be given:
The domain must have a check table or fixed values.
There must be either a text table with references to the check table, or the texts must be in the check table itself.
These conditions are always fulfilled by fields in the standard field catalog.
3. If needed, define compound relationships between characteristics in the detail screen of Characteristic Maintenance.
Some characteristics are dependent on other characteristics; that is, the values of dependent characteristics are meaningless in theabsence of values for independent characteristics. Such a relationship is called a characteristic compound. Technically, a check table then contains a key that consists of two parts.
Example: The Region, a dependent characteristic (check table T005S), forms a compound characteristic with the Country, an independent characteristic, because a region can be maintained or interpreted only if a country is specified.
Note the following restrictions when defining compounds:
Compounds can only be defined for characteristics that have a check table.
When a data element/domain is assigned, a compound is predefined by the existing check table.
Compounds can only be defined while creating a dependent characteristic. You do this by specifying the independent characteristic in the detail screen.
Only single compounds are permitted. Multiple compounds cannot be made.
The compound must be defined while creating a new characteristic, and before the new characteristic is saved. This is because the save process generates the check table for the characteristic.
Note: You do not use characteristic compounds to create regular assignments between two fields (such as, consolidation unit A having the local currency USD). Rather, a compound characteristic describes the structural dependency of one field on another (as in FS item 1111 in cons chart of accounts 01 being a different item than FS item 1111 in cons chart of accounts 02).
4. Specify further properties of the characteristic:
Define the display options and the sequence number of the characteristic for reports and so forth.
Activate the Subassignment indicator for all characteristics used as subassignments for FS items.
Activate the Fixed value in breakdown category indicator for all subassignments whose value is determined by the breakdown category (e.g., as with the characteristic subitem category).
Activate the Default value indicator if applicable. Then the characteristic appears in the implementation step Define Default Values. A default value is not necessary and cannot be set if you activate the Fixed value in breakdown category indicator
5. Enhance the checking specifications if needed:
For characteristics without a standard check table, you can enter a text table, a text field, and a long text field. The text fields must use the field type character. You can also specify a view name, usually a view of the check table and text table.
If the system fails to automatically determine the transaction codes for displaying and changing the master data, you can specify them manually.
6. To the characteristic consolidation unit assign any newly created characteristics as an attribute. Only independent characteristics can be assigned as attributes to consolidation units.
These attributes are used for sorting your consolidation units.
Note: Prerequisite for assigning attributes is the reorganization of the field catalog, that is, you need to have copied the field catalog into the customer field catalog. To do this, choose Extras -> Field catalog -> Reorganize.
7. Save and activate the new characteristic.
The Save process stores the new data and, if applicable, creates new tables and views in the ABAP Dictionary.
The Activation process sets the status of the tables, views, data elements, etc. to "active". It also generates the objects that are necessary to enable the consolidation functions to process the new characteristics.
You can activate several characteristics in one step by choosing characteristic maintenance of all characteristics in the initial screen, selecting and activating the inactive characteristics.
8. After activating the characteristic, you are asked whether to generate the view modules. Confirm the generation.
If you exit Characteristic Maintenance and want to ensure that all view modules were generated correctly, choose Environment -> View maintenance modules -> Reorganize.
9. Assign the new characteristics to field groups, if applicable.
Field groups are groupings of characteristics. These let you structure the fields in the field catalog. Individual fields may belong to multiple field groups.
Further notes
Choose Extras -> Log display to display the logs for the activities Save, Activate and Delete.

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.

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.

No postings can be made to profit center 3200 in company code 2000

Hi All,
My client is having two company codes i,e 2000 and 3000.
2000 company code is having only one profit center i.e 2000
3000 company code is having two profit centers i.e 3100 & 3200
Document spliting is activated in both the company codes.
If we want to post FI Invoice in FB60.
First selected the companycode 2000
Selected the vendor belonging to 2000
Below:
Another line item of expenses selected, one expenses GL Account
BUT the company code selected for this line item is 3000 and selected the cost center 3200
After saving the Error of "No posting can be made to profit cetner 3200 in company code 2000" is coming.
I understood that it is because of First line item belonging to vendor is for 2000, so the profit center 3200 is inheriting to first line item which is not possible to post.
If iam able to provide the profit center in the Vendor line item the problem will be solved. But there is no profit center field available in any tab of vendor items.
I have checked the field status belonging to Posting key 31, the profit center is available which is optional, but not available while posting.
Kindly suggest how to select the profit center for the vendor line item.
Thanks & Regards
shankar

Hi,
System picks the same profit center given in expense line item to vendor line.
You can follow the below process:
1. While invoicing: in co code 2000
Dr Intercompany clearing a/c
Cr vendor (2000)
2. Clearing the Intercompany transactions: in co code 3000
Dr Expense (profit center 3200)
Cr Intercompany clearing a/c
Please check

Balancing Profit center Issue ?

Dear All
Experts.
I am facing one problem Balancing profit center in line 002u201D is not filled error. I untick the PRCTR option on my Test client.
The probem is regarding Document Splitting. I changed the status of profit center and posted document , the document got
posted. But while saving the system pop up some messages amongs those one is as follows :-
Making subsequent changes to characteristics can lead to inconsistencies.
How ever I saved it because it is my test client. Proceeding further If i change the same on my production Client
How harmful it is if I go with it ?
Experts comments are welcome and will find usefull to other consultant also.
Regards,
Pankaj.

This error generally comes when system tries to split the line items based on your config. Suppose you have activated the document split at Profit center level in your system then this error means that system is not able to derive the profit center from the corresponding line item. I am not sure about your entry but to clarify it further just take an example:
GL                     PROFIT CENTER             AMOUNT              DR./CR.
001P&L              A101                                 100                         DR.
002 P&L             A102                                  100                        DR.
003 BS                                                         200                       CR.
In case you want to post above entry in your system and you have activated document split at PRCTR then system will try to split your B/S line into 2 line items based on the ratio of expense lines. After splitting your entry should look like this:
GL                     PROFIT CENTER             AMOUNT              DR./CR.
001P&L              A101                                 100                         DR.
002 P&L             A102                                  100                        DR.
003 BS               A101                                 100                       CR.
003 BS               A102                                 100                       CR.
You are getting this error in your system because system is not getting correct configuration to split the balance sheet line items at profit center level so the line item where system is not able to derive the PRCTR system gives this message so that you can correct your config.
To check where your config error is. Try to simulate your entry in Journal ledger view and click on expert mode tab. Now open your entry so that you can see where system is not able to derive the profit center. You need to check the base item category and the item categories to be edited. Then go to the transaction variant in your config to check why system is not deriving. Hope this helps

Re:Profit center as mandatory for VA01

Hi Experts,
Good Morning,
my issue is if i didnt give profit center in va01 the document should not be saved, so in OMS9 which field sel.group (eg:name-0001,0002.....) i need to go and maintain as "Reqd Entry"
Thanks in advance & points will be assign for useful answers,
SAP UK.

For information, Profit Center is flowing in sale order based on the value you maintain in material master. So the first option is make the material master field as mandatory.
Make the said field in material master as mandatory. To set this, go to OMS9, input 8 in "Field sel.group" and enter. Double click on Profit Center and choose the option "Reqd Entry" and save.
Now without maintaining Profit Center, you cannot save the material master.
So while creating sale order for that material, the profit center will flow automatically and no need to maintain the same.
Of course, for sale order, you can make this field as mandatory and it is blank, it cannot be said. To achieve this, Go to OVA2, block Sales - Item and double click on Procedures. There select Standard Item and click on Fields. There maintain the following:-
Table::::Fld name::::::Description::::::::Screen:::Status
VBAP::::::PRCTR::::::::Profit Center::::::::PKNT:::::00
Now without Profit Center, you cannot save the sale order.
