Profit Center Accounting in BCS

Dear Experts,
I'm going to have Profit Center based consolidation reporting in SEM-BCS. Since I'm using NewGL (with segmented Profit Center), I don't have to activate Profit Center Accounting Module.
Is it possible to have Profit Center based consolidation report in SEM-BCS without PCA Module activation?
Thank you.

Although I have never encountered this situation, if the profit center is provided in the source infocube for the data load without activating the PCA module, then should not be a problem.

Data extraction from Profit center accounting and load to BCS

We need to extract data from profit center accounting in SAP R/3 and then we will have to load the same to BCS ( Business consolidation) module as file upload.
Can anyone please explain me the steps involved in extracting the data from Profit center accounting.
Advance thanks.

One way is to view GLPCT table and summarize in Excel as needed. This can subsequently be saved as CSV to fit the flexible file upload configuration.
Another alternative is to extract the table to a basic infocube and use this a the source data basis for the load from data stream data collection method.
Good luck.

Profit center Accounting in ECC 5.0/6.0

Hi,
Need to clarify that we need to do planning in BCS for profit center accounting & need to know what can be the table in ECC6.0 to pull PCA relevant data with cost as we may get from GLPCT& need to know that from ECC 6.0 old PCA is not to be used or we still can use old PCA . If we can not use old profit center accounting how we can run the report based on PC hier & find out balances with cost to profit center.
Regards,
Vipin

Hi,
Thanks for answer. The GLPCT table is not getting activated in the case when we activated the new GL Functionality so not able to link that table to BIW. Need to know what are the relevant tables that can be referred to in FI that includes profit center data & Secondary cost postings in CO.

Difference between Business area and profit center accounting

Hi Frnds,
Can any body explain about difference between business area and profit center accounting .

Hi
Business area will have many profit centers. For example Vehicle is a business area in a company. Vehicle can be cars and Bikes etc. Here Vehicle is business area and Cars and Bike are profit centers. In broad Vehicle is a profit center. But as it has sub areas those are profit centers. So profit centers cannot be replaced with business area and vice versa. We can replace business area by Profit centre, only condition is that it should be in same controlling area. The business area is more like a business unit of a company. You can have multiple profit centers within a business area.
Main distinguish factor is that distribution and assessment in possible in profit center but not in business area.
One more distinction is that Business area need not be attached to any organisation structure. But profit centres can be created only under the controlling area. Business area can be across controlling area.
Business area concept is used for making stragic decisions by the management whereas the primary purpose of profit centre accounting is responsibility accounting.

Profit Center Accounting-Transfer of Accounts payable/Receivable

Dear All,
in our company SAP was implemented in 2005 . Now we configurd PCA and transfering the Ending balance of Accounts Payable/Recivable ( Transaction 1KEK). System only select the invoices which were posted in last month ( Feb,2009) and ignore all the open invoices which were posted before Feb,2009.
Please advise me, How I'm able to post the ending balance of Accounts payable/Recivable on respective profit center.

Hi
The transaction 1KEK is specific to a period. The first box that you would provide the period and then the year. Subsequently you will be providing the fiscal year. So only the entries for Feb 2009 will be going over to PCA. If there were any entries subsequent to the execution of 1KEK, you need to execute it again in order that the delta entries make it to PCA.
You transfer payables and receivables to Profit Center Accounting in the course of normal period‑closing activities.You can transfer payables and receivables as often as you wish, since the system deletes previously transferred data before each new transfer.
Hope this clarifies. Else please get back.

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.

Profit Center Accounting in ECC 5.0

We are on ECC 5.0 and having some issues with profit center accounting. Is there any way that I can tell if Profit Center Accounting has been fully configured? If anyone has any documentation, I would greatly appreciate it.
Here are the problems:
1. We are posting to profit centers during document entry (FB50, FB60, FB70, FB01, F-02, etc.) however, when I go to review the documents, it only shows the accounting document and not a profit center accounting document. This doesn't seem normal. I can confirm that we have a document type set up for PCA, but it doesn't appear to have a number range assigned to it. Would there be any reason why a company wouldn't want to have PCA documents being created? We are running reports out of BW as well....
2. When I try to run typical PCA reports such as
KE5Z                Profit Center: Actual Line Items
S_ALR_87009712      Profit Center: Area list plan/act.
S_ALR_87013327      Plan/Actual/Variance: Profit Centers
S_ALR_87013332      Curr.Period,Aggreg.,Year Pl/Act.PrCt
S_ALR_87013340      PrCtr Group: Plan/Actual Comparison
I get the message, "No data found." I have gone to the GLPCA and GLPCT tables and they show 0 entries. Are these transactions considered "old PCA" in ECC 5.0? Are there other PCA reports that may read from new PCA tables or are there new PCA transactions in ECC 5.0?
Thanks for any help or info.

Hello Linda,
The transactions are the same between the two versions.
To check if the customizing is ok you could see :
- If you have profit centers created KE53 or KCH6N
- The 1KE1(customizing analysis)give you a profit center resume of your customizing.
- Show if the 0KE5 transaction is completed with the controlling area, dummy profit center, valuation view, control indicator .
- To show if the EC-PCA actual posting is activated, transaction 1KEF
- GB02, number range have to be created.

Valerie

COPA Planning to Profit Center Accounting

Hi,
We are using ECC 6.0.
When we do COPA planning and transfer the values of COPA to Profit Center, no data has been transfered to profit center plan items.
We have not activated Planning version of Classic Profit Center Accounting. Is it required for ECC 6.0 also to activate Classic Profit Center Accoutning?
We have Mapped requisit Value fields of COPA to GL Accounts.
Can any one guide us in this regard.
Thanks in Advance
Sudhakar

Hi,
In COPA the planning has been done to the value field of PRCTR which represents Profit center. Through report forms the actual and plan data for the value fields can be derived in COPA itself. I dont think that the planned values can be transferred to profit center accouting. On the other hand the actuals of profit center with the same value fields can be derived in COPA.
Assign points if its useful

Cost Element and Profit center accounting

hi to all,
in my production system, most of PL accouts have been created as cost element. but some revenue and COGS accounts have not been created even there existed transaction data.
now i want to create all PL accounts as cost elements. revenue (category is 11) and COGS(category is 12) accounts link with Logistic, so i am not sure the effluence in the auto posting with Logistics. if there is any problem?
by the way, after create all PL accounts as cost element, i want all the transaction data for PL account can flow into profit center accounting because i want to generate profit center PL report. what shoul i do? set the profit center field mandatory or set Substitution? or some more reasonable solutions ?
expect your valuable suggestion/
thanks in advance
Ivan

Hi,
After creating P/L accounts as cost element when ever you will post to that account it will ask for posting to true CO object it can be a real cost center, real internal order or profitability segment etc.
If you want all P/L account to post to profit center, you can set profit center field mandatory and you can enter profit center manually.If your CO account assignment is cost center System can also derive profit center from cost center master data.and OKB9 is more option which u can make use of.
