Profit Center Accounting - Need an appropiate DataSource for reporting

We have a report which gives us debit-credit info based on Business Area for given G/L accounts. Modeling is as follow:
0FI_GL_1 -> 0FIGL_C01 then report is based on virtual cube 0FIGL_VC1(logic is based on 0FIGL_C01 only)
now we need a report which will be giving us Profit center wise debit/credit for given account numbers...
so we moved to Profit center accounting---> used the cube 0PCA_C01,,modeling is as follow:
0EC_PCA_1 -> 0PCA_C01
we extracted the datasources 0FI_GL_1 and 0EC_PCA_1 in R/3 whose debit/credit info is not matching for the given G/L accounts.
Please let me know which datasource will be suitable to get profit center wise o/p instead of using 0EC_PCA_1
thanks

Yes you are right...
but as of now table GLT0 is throwing 0 record whereas relevant data is available in table FAGLFLEXT, same has been discussed with FI consultant ,,,anyways its okay...
my second worry is on Fiscal variant...
we need historical data which is based on V3 (apr to Mar)---->present in old R/3
however in new R/3 we have implemented K4 (Jan to dec)---> present in New R/3
>
Data modeling is done for both to new BI ,means:
BI7 is talking to old R/3 and New R/3
so we have historical data till mar09(coming from old R/3 (V3)) and fresh data coming from New R/3 (K4) since apr09
>
now the problem is we have data for all periods but due to difference in fiscal yr variants we will be having data in BI as follow:
Mar 09 - 12/2009 (V3) - data available
Apr 09 - 04/2009 (K4) - data avaiable
here we are seeing data avaiable for both mar and apr but due to difference in fiscal yr variants we are not getttin data since 01/2009 till 03/2009 nevertheless its present ...reports are based on fiscal period/year so if user wants to view report for the period 01/2009 - 03/2009 then it cant be viwed....
lets know yr opnion on this

What i did it- i have activated profit center at controlling area
2) then did setting in OKES- created dummy profit center,define profit center standard hierachy,profit center currency = controlling area currency and activated profit center accounting
3)Set Control Parameters for Actual Data- selected online transfer and line items
But i am not sure-I need to do all the setting in ECC-6 like creation of dummy profit center and activation of online transfer +line item tansfer.
Request you to guide me on configuration- Whether setting Of PCA will change in NEW GL or Not required in New GL.

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.

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

Exits for S_ALR_87013326 - EC-PCA001G- profit center accounting

Hello,
I need to add a select option for company code to drill down report (EC-PCA001g)- related to Profit center accounting and then check for authorization using G_REPO_LOC. I have created a copy of this report and has added select option. But I am unable to find any method to apply authorization check. Can anybody please provide me, if there exists any customer exit, user exit which triggers for report S_ALR_87013326. Thanks.

Many thanks for the hint, I've seen the note, but it's not relevant for 0EC_PCA_4 (0EC_PCA_1 and 0EC_PCA_3 only).
0EC_PCA_4 is for balance accounts only and has no debit/credit fields, balance only.

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.

No documents of Profit-Center Accounting are generated for prof/ctr valuat

Dear All,
We have activated multiple valuation: Legal, Group, Profit Center.
We have activated Profit Center Accounting too.
Now we have performed sale of material from one Company code to another.
And there are no documents of Profit Center Accounting. Plus in Profit Center valuation there are no sums on revenue account.
All sums are posted to account defined for internal material movements in transfer price's customizing.
What customizing is missing?
Best regards,
Kamila.

Hi Manoj,
As you know that transferring balances from one PC to another completely with in controlling part. Until unless you post any document from FI or MM side system will not generate any Accounting doc for any transactions. And we do not have any direct postings in controlling. Thank you,

Transporting Control Parameters for Actual Data in Profit Center Accounting

Hi Friends
Transport type of control parameters for actual data in Profit Center Accounting has been mentioned as Manual, when I try to manually create the Transport Request the Transport option in the Menu is disabled. Is there any other way to transport this configuration.
Regards
P Rajan

Hi
I think the settings that you are mentioning is through transaction 1KEF please clarify. Else elaborate where you have set the transport type manual.
Transport request are the domain of Basis people and is meant for transport from one client to another like quality to production.

Profit Center Accounting Transaction Data

Dear Experts,
We need to have a report on profit center accounting data. The functional requirement is to fetch MSLVT, MSL01, MSL02, MSL03, MSL04...upto MSL16 data from GLPCT table for account number = 0000119430.
When i gone through BI Content found datasource 0EC_PCA_1 with 0QUANTITY info object. The values in this infoobject are per period from MSL01 to MSL016 origin table fields. In this data source MSLVT values are not taken into consideration.
Can you please suggest any other data source providing 0QUANTITY values along with carry forward quantity (MSLVT) values.
Regards,
Ravi Kumar VR Garre

Hi Srini,
What you could check:
1. Check the Fiscal Year Variant configuration using SPRO - SAP Reference IMG - SAP Netweaver - SAP Business Information Warehouse - General BW Settings - Maintain Fiscal Year Variant
2. SE16, input table T009, make sure K4 is in the table
Hope this will help.
Cheers,

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.

Profit Center Accounting Reports - New GL

I've done the configuration and setup for the Profit Center accounting reports (new GL) in ecc 6 and I'm having an outstanding issue.
If I attempt to run the reports via their transaction code, ie S_E38_98000088 I have no problems. Access/authorization is fine and the desired result is achieved. If I navigate the SAP Easy Menu to Accounting -> Financial Accounting -> General Ledger -> Information System -> General Ledger Reports (New) I don't see the "Reports for Profit Center Accounting folder.
If I go to se43 and look at the S000 areamenu, the path is there. I've tried with a user account that has wide open access to everything and I still don't see it. Is there any configuration that needs to be done to get this menu path to display to the end user?
Any help/suggestions are greatly welcomed.
Regards,
Elder

I think this comes with Enterprise Business Function FIN_GL_CI_1, t-code SFW5. Read the documentation in SFW5, those Reports are there.
Good luck.

Profit Center Accounting in ECPCA and New GL

Hi Friends,
We want to use the ECPCA profit center accounting for managment reporting. Also we are using new GL therefore we also have Profit Center accounting accounting.
Can we just go with ECPCA, if yes what would be the dis-advantage of not using New GL profit center accounting.
Also can we use the both, if yes then do we need to take care of something specfic which you would like to suggest.
Thanks in Advance

Hi,
Thanks for the SNote. But now I am in a fix.
Note says that if I use the new GL and document splitting then I should not use the EC-PCA.
But my client do not want the cost center allocations to come in FI due to Regulatory constraints i.e no CO-FI reconciliation, however want to see the profitability at profit center level, as well as balance sheet at profit center level.
If I use EC-PCA for giving profitability at at profit Center level then I will not be able to use document splitting in New GL to give the balance sheet at profit center level.
And if I use New GL then I cannot give the profitability at profit center level as allocations are not there in FI.
Have anybody faced a similar issue, if yes can throw a light on the same.
Thanks & Regards,
Ankur

Profit Center Accounting in ECC 6.0 New GL Accounting

Hi,
I want to make my understanding clear.
If we are in ECC 6.0 and New GL accounting is active and also the One of the Document Spliiting characteristics is Profit Center, it means that all the document must have the Profit center to it.
In this way we can get the Profit center wise Balance sheet.
I hope my understing is clear till now. Please correct me if I am wrong.
Now with this, my next question is , do we really need to Configure the Profit Center Accounting node Under controlling?
If yes, why to do this? Because if we require Distribution or assessment cycle for the Profit center, it can be done through General Ledger Accounting node (New) period end closing process.
Please correct me if I am wrong.
regards

Hi Kerstin
Assume you are on ECC 6.0 and you dont create Dummy PC...
If doc splitting is active, you get an error that "PC in Line item XXXX not filled"... System does not look for Dummy PC in that case...
Same behaviour should have been replicated in CRM as well.. Dont you think so?? If I have not activated EC-PCA, I am not supposed to get any error related to Dummy PC... Thats the basic premise of SAP, as far as I know...
When Dummy PC is a feature of EC-PCA, system should look for it only when EC-PCA is active... Though you can say Dummy PC can be created from New GL Menu,, but the basic premise which stil remains is the behaviour is not the same in CRM & Other ECC components like FI, when the PC is not found.... One behaviour is as per EC PCA active and the other is as per New GL PCA active
Anyways, thanks for sharing your knowledge on this,
br, Ajay M
