Profit center and cost center

hi,
why p&l reve and exp account both also appear in both center?
what is the difference for these 2 center because both revenue and expenses account also landed in both center.
thanks

Hi,
Normally all expenses are pooled to cost centres and revenues to profit centres.
You are mentioning about VF03 - in case of a normal sales order there is selling price involved which is a revenue and hence the assignment to a profit centre. In the case of stock transfer ( intra company sales order) the value is based on cost of goods sold . When there is cost of goods sold the assignment needs to be done to a cost centre.
Thanks
GU

How to obtain profit centers and cost centers for a particular GL account

Hi Gurus
Can you please suggest me a table or a function module to obtain profit centers and cost centers for a particular GL account.
Thanks in advance for help!

Ankit

Hi There, I have a simillar problem as above, however I would like a list of all G/L Accounts with profit centres and cost centres as well. Is this possible? Reason being that I have many unassigned cost centres and need to link them to profit centres.
Is there also a mass processing list to see which G/L accounts dont have primary elements assigned?

What is Budjet, Profit, Work and Cost center means?

Hi Guys,
Can u explain Budjet center, Profit center, Work center and Cost center? Also if i miss any other center like these!
What is the functionality of each in business point of view?
If possible with an example:-)
Thanks,
Vinod.

Hi.
Please use a search enginge before aksing here. BTW: If you use a search engine perhaps it is advisable to write 'budget' instead of budjet.
And before I forget this I would like to point out that your question is not related to ABAP. Therefore this forum is not the right place to ask it anyway...
Thread will be locked.

Profit Centre and Cost centre not updated

Hi,
I have posted expenses through FB60 and assigned cost centre to the expenses account and not for vendor item. Entry passed was posted.
But when i checked the document, i saw that the cost centre and profit centre is appearing in one line item (i.e. expense line item) only.
Afterwards i made payment through F-53. In this entry also there was no cost centre and profit centre in vendor line item. But the same was appearing in "outgoing bank" line item

Hello,
If you are on classical GL, your vendor line items or customer line item will not be updated automatically.
If you are on New GL functionality and document splitting, you will have profit center updated on customer and vendor line items.

Ravi

CO Account Assignment: Profit Centers and Cost Centers Assignment

Hello Experts,
I am trying to understand profit/cost center assignment at the contract level. My client has requirement to assign them based on utility type. So I was wondering should I assign them during move-in at contract? Any suggestions would be of great help.
Thanks.
Kind Regards,
Nikhil J.

Nikhil:
Firstly - the assumption here is that 'utility type' equates exactly to contract or service. If not, then assignment is not appropriate, and should be looked at in the account assignment EK01.
If it is equivalent, then you can use various ways of defaulting depending on the initiator. If CRM, then it can be filled in CRM and passed to ERP or filled by the MDT when bdoc is processed in ERP. If ERP then it can be filled with CMOD enhancement.
There is no configuration for assignment default at contract level, only at charge level.
regards,
bill.

Profit centers and cost centers - language maintenance

Hi!
We have an SAP environment running where three countries use local languages and the fourth one uses English, also most people working centrally with the system uses English. Also the hierarchies are exported to BI from the English language version of the system. Thus we have a need to maintain names of hieararchy nodes and profit centers/cost centers in several languages.
Is there any easier way to do this than logging in to all relevant language versions (usually one local and English) to maintain these? Is there some setting that makes it enough to maintain in for instance the English version and it updates all the other languages?
Best regards,
Jan Pettersson

Not really the answer I was hoping for
it's business side users in each country maintianing the hieararchies and PC/CC... so LSMWs and imports and exports is unfortuntantely not the best of options.
Hoping for someone else with a similar situation with additonal ideas.

Cost center and profit center in the same report

I am working on creating a report using report painter/writer. my question is, will it be possible to create a report with cost center group in one column and profit center group in another column and the rows with GL account groups.
I know that GLPCT table dosent have the field KOSTL(cost center) in it. The library I am using is from GLPCT table. But when I checked the characteristics of the library that I am using, it has KOSTL field in it. So I checked that field on and tried to use it in the report. But when I execute the report, an error pops up saying "Characteristic KOSTL cannot be combined with the key figures".
Can someone explain what exactly that error means. and if there is a possible way of using both P.Ctr and C.Ctr in two different colums in the same report.

I am asked to create a report which has information of both profit centers and cost centers. some of the fields on columns are cost centers and others are profit centers. This report is basically a P&L summary report for various divisions.
Infact, when I use one basic key figure for cost center and other for profit center and execute the report, it is working!!!!....Is it ok to use two different key figures on two different columns? i dont understand where it is picking the values from..cos cost centers are not present in GLPCT table.

Profit Center wise payments in F110

Hello Gurus,
F110 Automatic payment program error at proposal (couldnt select the documents by profit center criteria)
ERROR is: (Company codes 4000/4000 do not appear in proposal 17.06.2010 SYR_R; correct)
I want to make payments only Profit Center wise by selecting in the "FREE SELECTION" tab in F110 program, is this right way?
Reason: My company want to pay to the vendors according to profit center not with company code.
question: The additional selections functionality uses table BSEG but profit centre and cost centre are not populated in BSEG on the vendor line item so it will not select anything.
any solutions please,,
thanks in advance..

Hi,
As profit centers are not getting populated in Vendor Line Items, Free Selection Tab in F110 would not work.
In case if the payment is required to be done Profit Center wise, enter profit centers in Assignment Field of the Vendor Line Item. While making the proposal, in Free Selection Tab give the value mentioned in Assignment Field.
Even a substitution can be written to populate the Profit Center in Assignment Field.
Hope it would work. We are making Profit Center wise payment in the same way.

Jaymin R. Bhatt

Activity elements planned values not showing in profit centres and cc.

Hi,
i'm currently working on a project involving Co and PS. I'm in charge of the CO module and i've got a problem with planned values on activity elements and in PS. Planned values are calculated on activty elements and so are actual and they show in real time in profit centres and cost centres but not their planned counterpart values. i've absolutely nothing on profit and cost centres reports. Integrated planning is activated in PS and so is project in versions.
i've asked the PS "Expert" and he said it comes from the "plan cost calculation" tab in cj20n, which obviously isn't the cause.
Doesn't it come from the project profile or status profile customizing? (opsa or ok02)?
Can the problem come from CO?
any help appreciated
regards
xavier

Hi Sreenivas,
thanks for your help and sorry for my late answer.
what is the difference between FAGL_CO_PLAN and transaction 1ke0.
when i log on transaction 1ke0, i can see all my planned values.
wouldn't the issue be resolved by launching t-code faglgcle "fi-gl activate update of plan line items" ?
regards
xavier

Network,Assignment,Profit centre N cost Centre field's in CJ20N Transaction

Dear Gurus,
                I need to know the Network, Assignment, Profit Centre and Cost centre fields in the CJ20N transaction.
                I have got a requirement to fetch the above fields for every project. I can find the Project name in table PROJ under the field PSPID and the WBS element in table PRPS under the field POSID.
                Kindly help me out, as the transaction CJ20N is using Structure for the above 4 fields.
               Your suggestions are deeply valuable and are appreciated in advance.
Thankyou,
ZIa

Use FM "'BBP_PS_PROJECT_GET_LIST" to get the complete structure of the Project defined in the txn CJ20N.
Just pass the Project number to this FM and you will get all the details under different Internal Tables.
Execute this FM in SE37 for any of the Existing Project of yours in CJ20N.

Co-pa and cost center with different profit centers?

I have a requirement to post (from fb50) to:
1) True posting: A profitability segment with profit center XXX
2) Statistical posting: A cost center assignet to profit center YYY
I enter values in cost center, profit center and Prof.segm., but as soon as I press "Enter" the system overrides the profit center I enter and derive YYY from the cost center.
If I try to change the profit center manually to XXX I get message KI350 (profitability segment being derived again) and the profit center is reset to YYY!
I have played with the field status groups and the message control, but no matter what I do I can't change the behaviour.
Any ideas?

Unfortunately it doesn't help me:-(
Since the cost center posting ends up being statistical it doesn't make sense (at least not to me...) that it takes priority over the manual entry (or one derived in the true posting - the CO-PA assignment).
I have included the profit center in my characteristic group, but it is greyed out.
I have also made a derivation specifically clearing the profit center and another one rederiving it from other CO-PA assignments. It looks fine in the derviation analysis but it doesn't change in the document!
Are there other options? Will a substitution be able to take priority over the statistical assignment?

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.

Cost center and profit center details

Hi All
Is there any function module or BAPI to obtain cost center and profit center details
for a GL account. Actually I am obtaining the carry forward balance for a
fiscal year from the table GLT0 but I am not getting the corresponding profit center
and cost center details.
Please suggest a way forward!
Regards
Ankit

Hi,
If you are getting data from GLT0 table, using the Account number go to SKA1/SKB1 tables and get the CostCenter(KOSTL) and Profit Center(PRCTR). If you want to get details about CostCenter, its master table is CSKS and master table for Profit Center is CEPC. you can get required info from these tables.
thanks,
sksingh

Assign manual cost and profit center for 3rd party purchase order

When we have a 3rd party purchase order we need to assign OUR cost and profit center to that document. Here is the scenario:
We buy a product from a vendor for $10 and then re-sell the product to a customer for $100. Instead of posting this information to either cost or profit center of the vendor and customer, we need to assign the $10 to our company cost center and the $90 to our company's profit center. We are basically acting as a middle man for selling a product.
I am fairly a newbie, so please provide detailed answers if possible. We create the sales order in VA01 and create the purchase order in ME22N.

HI Kapil,
For any accounting entry you need to define a General Ledger Account where the details (Amount) of the transaction will be stored.
Just by maintaining cost centre will not help in completing any transaction involving accounts. So you need to maintain G/L account in the controlling area of your company code.
You can use T Code FS00 to create new G/L account in the chart of accounts.
In the edit cost element Tab you can give the cost center that you want.
I hope this helps.
thanks
