Profit Center Assignment for Component of Sub Contracting PO

Hello all!
I apologize in advance if this is not the correct forum to post this question in. Additionally, I am an ABAPer with a focus in SD and MM, so much of FI is foreign to me.
To the problem...
Currently when a MIGO 101 is processed for a Sub Contracting PO Line item, a consumption transaction (543) is generated for the component materials on the PO Line. These consumption transactions are "tied", this is how my finance co-worker described it, to a Cost Center dedicated to Sub Contracting.
We would like to change the configuration as follows:
When the consumption transaction posts, it "ties" to the Profit Center (and thus cost center) of the Parent SKU (actual material received on PO Line) of the transaction.
Is this possible?
Thank you,
Steven Coolbaugh

Hi Steven:
Not sure if I understood correctly your requirement but let me try to explain:
For consumption items (Account assignment category K in PO line), it is consumed immediately on GR and consumption is posted to a cost center attached to PO line. And that is what happening in your exising process also, right?
Now when you said "TO Be" change as consumption ties to the profit center (and then to cost center) of parent SKU??
It is other way round. A cost center is linked to one profit center (whereas as a profit center can have many cost centers attached to it). Also since profit center is not a TRUE cost object (it is a statistical object), PO line would need a true cost object like cost center. So based on the information you provided in your post, it is not technically possible to book consumption at profit center (And then to cost center).
Are they two separate cost centers (one for sub contracing and one for Parent SKU)? If yes, can you attach parent SKU cost center to PO line (from business point of view) so that consumption posts directly to parent SKU and then to the attached profit center?
Hope it helps.
Thanks.

Profit center assignment for Raw Materials and Store and spares

Hi All,
We have an issue with org structure while defining Profit Centre.
Presently we have 25 depots and 5 Manufacturing Plants and 10 type of Divisions.
Plant and Depots are mapped with Business area
10 type of Finished Goods and we have defined Divisions for the same in SD module.
For the same we have defined 10 Profit Centre in order to get division wise profitability.
10 Profit center will be used in FG materials and we will be able to get the postings and profitability with product wise.
But for Raw materials and Stores material which profit center need to be assigned.
Kindly help me in this regard.
Regards,
Sahil K

Hi,
profit centre basically used for the collection of cost and revenue which are incurred and generated in an organization , so if your organization has created any profit centre which are assigned to the cost centre of manufaturing or production , those cost cost centre u can assigned to the raw materials.
To assign profit centre to raw materials - at the time of creation of Material master(mm01) for raw materials you can choose costing view at organizational level and can assign the cost PCTR which your assigning to cost centre.
To assign division- you can choose the division according to the finished good wise if your divisions are segregated according to finished goods wise.(assignment of division to the material master -according to the raw materials or spare and parts used to produce particular finished goods).
Hopefully the above explanation clarify your doubt.

Subcontract PO - profit center assignment

Hi,
Does anyone know how to check on profit center assignment for a subcontract PO ?
We're currently have the FI posting on the Goods Receipt but it is assigned to the wrong profit center.

Hi,
Check OKB9 Settings as well as FAGL3KEH settings in the system to identify cost centers and profit centers attached to cost elements, GL Accounts.

Materials management small differences - DIF - Profit Center assignment.

Hi,
We have created one G/L for posting the u201CMaterials management small differencesu201D at the time of generating MIRO document via transaction u201CDIFu201D in Tcode - OBYC.
For e.g. if the GR amount is 90 and IR (Invoice received from party) is of Rs. 91/- or vice-versa then for posting the difference of Rs. 1/- we have made the above assignment.
System is generating the line item for the u201CSmall Diff -Invoice Verificationu201D but posting automatically to a "Dummy Profit Center u201C in the absence of any other data.
Our point is that we want to change the profit center to the related Business area, which is there in the line item of u201CSmall Diff -Invoice Verificationu201D account.
We tried the FI substitution (Tcode u2013 GGB1/ OBBH) for the Profit Center derivation on the basis of Business Area but that is working with the FI documents (Manual FI entry) only and not with the automatic line generation like MIRO in the above case.
Later on I tried Tcode u2013 OKB9, but in that case after giving business area wise cost center substitution, system is correctly showing the entry (in simulation mode of MIRO transaction) in the required Cost Center & on that basis in the Profit Center, but still system requires u201CCO-Objectu201D
Initially we tried other way of creating a Cost Element under the category of u201C11 u2013 Revenueu201D to maintain Business Area u2013 Profit Center link but still in that case also it requires co-object hence turned to changing the Cost Element Category to u201C1 u2013 Primary Costu201D for capturing Profit center on the basis of Business Area u2013 Cost Center link since basically G/L u2013 u201Csmall Diff -Invoice Verificationu201D we have created under u201CExpense Groupu201D.
Our requirement is to post the entry in related profit center per Business Area in the line item of "Small Diff -Invoice Verification" since there are 6 to 7 business areas, which are active in system.
Regards,
Shridhar

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. But I would like to correct you. I have mentioned in my subject line - "DIF" i.e the Transaction Key maintained in Transaction Code - OBYC for posting the small difference (Between GR and IR values) arriving at the time of MIRO transaction posting.
Now meanwhile I have come across u201CSAP Note : 32654u201D which mentioned that "Account assignment for the transaction (KDR, DIF, UPF) on the highest level i.e. the 1st screen where we set the Cost Center or Profit Center assignment to Cost Element with Acct Assignment details (1 or 2 or 3) is possible.
Same is not possible on details level means Acct Assignment details level per Valuation Area or Business Area for Cost Center or Profit Center linkage (2nd screen of OKB9).
Please do correct me if I am making any wrong statement.
Now would like to have an advise about the transaction Code - OKC9 with the scenario (MIRO document u2013 Dummy Profit center linkage) that I have mentioned above.
Do I require to maintain OKB9 (At highest level) and then need to work out CO- Substitution via OKC9 ? Or OKC9 is enough to cover my scenario ?
Do any body have a knowledge about that? Points will be assigned.
Regards,
Shridhar

Profir Center Update for Vendor Line Item

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?

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

Manual Bank Subaccount Clearing 1:N – Profit Center Assignment within NEW GL

Hello guys,
What is the common practice to do Manual Bank Subaccount Clearing for Vendors outgoing payments? My main concern is Profit Center Assignment within New GL.
The business process is:
Payment Program (F110) creates multiple JEs to Bank Subaccount with different Profit Centers inherited from Vendor’s Invoices
JE #1 (GL View)
Debit:   Vendor_1               Profit_Center_1    $400
Credit: Bank Clearing GL   Profit_Center_1     $400
JE #2 (GL View)
Debit:   Vendor_2               Profit_Center_2     $600
Credit: Bank Clearing GL   Profit_Center_2      $600
When the payment is showing on Bank Statement in a lump amount, a posting with clearing should be done to make an entry on the Main Bank Account and to clear Bank Subaccount (F-04).
Credit: Main Bank GL   Profit_Center_????? $1,000
Debit: Bank Clearing GL   Profit_Center_1      $ 400 (PC assigned automatically by the system within the clearing)
Debit: Bank Clearing GL   Profit_Center_2      $ 600 (PC assigned automatically by the system within the clearing)
If Profit Center is not filled manually in Main Bank GL account line -> the system issues “Balancing field “Profit Center” in line item 001 not field”
Please share your experience whether a user makes multiple entries to Main Bank GL as a number of Profit Centers in ACH Clearing GL, or a Dummy Profit Center is used….
Thank you in advance

Hi
In most of my projects, a common profit center is defaulted to the Bank Account through FAGL3KEH in a new gl environment. This is because the payment function had been centralized and so it was booked to the corporate profit center which was also a common profit center.
However, it would again depend on your business requirements as to how they would like to see the profit center reporting. You may look at a substitution through an exit to default the profit center for the main bank gl.

Changes to Profit center assigned to cost center

Hi
We have a scnario in which the profit center assigned to the cost center master has to be changed. We have been advised also to change the validity period of the same from the date of change of the profit center .However, the cost center has been used to for some data postings with the old profit center maintained in the cost center master. Now my query is:
1. What is the impact of changing the profit center in cost center master? In our case, some data has been posted to the cost center when the old profit center was maintained.
2. Why should we change the validity period of the cost center after changing the profit center assigned to the cost center?
3. Also, what is the way to transfer the entries which have been posted to the old profit center to the new profit center?
Regards
Sanil Bhandari

hi,
1) The impact of profit center is more in the cost center. when ever we assign profit center to cost center. the cost will be updated automatically. so there is no direct posting in profit center only statstical posting are generated.
2) second one when we want to create profit center first chek it out profit center valid and upto. if same is not maintained in creation of cost center . so u must have to change the validity periods
3) i am not sure this one i thing 7KEH OR 1KEF TC is there any way tommorow i will give the answer this questions.
if my answers are wrong plz correct and replay to my id [email protected]
thank you

Hi Ajay,
Thanks for your reply.profit center changes are working with analysis period changes.
i have one more issue here,i can't change hierarchy in cost center and getting errors..
Message no. KS042
Diagnosis
Field Hierarchy Area to be changed must be unique for the entire interval. You selected a change interval which does not include the entire period. Any change in the field would result in an inconsistency.
I have try to change time depended field in configuration.system is not allowing for field "KHINR" in OKEG TC.
any help is appreciated...

Hierarchy authorization: profit center, 0account for 0PCA_C01 data.

Hello my SAP Net friends,
I have built the authorizations/roles using profit center hierarchy for PCA data based the paper in BWExpert(Avoid these common pitfalls in using reporting authorizations with and without hierachies), it works fine.
Both 0profit_ctr and 0account are in the 0PCA_C01 cube, they both have hierarchies.
Now users also want to use the 0account hierarchy to limit PCA data access beside using the profit center. Have any of you had experience to use both profit center and 0account hierarchies for authorization? Could it works? Any limitation or issues?
I have created authorization object using the profit center, if I create another authorization object using 0account. Could these two authorization objects works together?
I will assign points to any helpful responses.
Thanks!
JXA

Hello Jun,
0profit_ctr and 0account are two different characteristics, so authorization to those two are independent of each other.
I.e., you can set authorization two both characteristics by means of both hierarchies.

Profit Center determination for cash transactions

Hi All,
We have profit center accounting implemented. Now while posting cash transactions thru FBCJ, for the expenses line items i can directly input the required profit center.. but for the second line item,i.e, cash account which gets automatically posted and for which we have assigned a profit center in 3keh. So the situation is my one line item posting goes to different profit centers but my cash account posting goes into only one profit center assigned in 3keh..
Since we want profit center wise balance sheet, I need my cash postings also to be reflected in the same profit center in which the concerned expenses get booked. Is there any way out to achieve this???? Please suggest...
Regards
Pushpa

Hi Pushpa,
To address this you can use tcodes F.5D first and then use F.5E. Normally this will be done as a year end activitiy.
If you want this urgently....u can use tcode 9KE0 transfer posting...first create a layout in 9KET.

Profit center assignment to company code

Hi,
We have 1 controlling area & 3 company codes A, B & C. We are restructuring Cost Centers & Profit Centers for company code A. Out of the 3 company codes, B has no separate profit center standard hierarchy. The cost centers of B are currently assigned to profit centers of A.
Now that we are changing all the cost centers & profit centers of A, how do we deal with the cost centers of B which are assigned to the old profit centers of A?
If I try to change the master data of Profit centers of A to exclude the company code assignment of A & only have company code assignment of B so that the cost centers of B are the only ones assigned to old profit centers of A, system throws an error saying that :
Cost centers assigned to the profit center are contained in the company code in question.
Procedure:
    Remove the existing assignment between Cost center **** and profit
    center ***. Note that other assignments might exist, which you will
    also have to remove before you can delete the profit center. For an overview of all existing assignments, use the assignment monitor.
Is there any other solution to this? Can the Profit center assignment to company code be time-dependant?
Or will we have to keep the old profit centers of A unlocked for cost centers of B & use some validations to prevent posting of Compnay code A transactions to old cost/ profit centers.

Sangeeta

Hello,
We are having the same issue. Would you please advise what solution you used to correct this.

Where we can find out customer related profit center assignment.

Hi gurus
where we can find out customer related profit center assignment.
Thank you
i will assign points.

Hi,
Sure you can find that, but before that you need to run F.5D and 1KEK for transferring customer detail to profit center.
After that you can this report S_ALR_87013343 - Profit Center: Receivables.

Profit Center determination for Stock G/L accounts

Hello,
The scenario is as follows:
A single G/L account is defined in our system for Finished Goods. FI documents resulting from material movements are posted to this account in PCA, i.e. table GLPCA shows material document numbers in the reference document field along with the corresponding movement types for this account.
There are a large number of materials with Profit Center 10000 (Industry General) defined in the material master record. All postings to the G/L in question are currently being made against the Profit Center defined in material master. There are also two other Profit Centers defined in the system; 10001 (Industry Motors) and 10002 (Industry Others). The business requirement is that all materials are common to both segments, but the Profit Center should be determined from the sale, i.e. if a material is sold to an Industry Motors customer the Profit Center should be 10001, otherwise it should be 10002.
For the revenue G/L account which is hit at the time of posting of the invoice, a substitution has been configured that determines the appropriate Profit Center from the division specified in the invoice; there are two divisions for Motors and Others respectively. For the stock G/L however, all postings are made to Profit Center 10000 as defined in the material master record.
Since the stock G/L will show postings from all goods movements, including GR, initial entry, GI for delivery, etc., and all materials are common, it is clearly not possible to completely segregate all postings to 10001 and 10002. For example, GR will always be posted to 10000 (General) as it is not known whether this should be in 10001 or 10002 till the time of sale. However, for sales movement type (Goods Issue delivery) at least, postings shoud be made to the appropriate specific Profit Center. For the remaining postings, the business applies a calculated ratio to the acumulated balance.
For the stock G/L, is it possible to derive Profit Center for outward goods movements based on invoice? For example, 1000 USD worth of stock is posted to the G/L in PCA with movement type 101 and Profit Center 10000. 200 USD worth of stock is sold under Motors and 400 USD worth is sold under others. Entries in GLPCA should be:
G/L            Balance Profit Center     Movement Type
31000000   1000       10000              101
31000000   200         10001              601
31000000   400         10002              601
So from this it is easily possible to determine that 200 USD worth of stock has been sold under Motors, 400 USD worth under Others, and 400 USD worth of stock remains unsold.
A solution for this is required. If anyone can think of any other way to accomplish this as well, please share your suggestions. Thanks!
Regards,
Khan

to arrive the profit center at a time of Goods Movment, select the cost center for Industry Motor before to that do the settings in OKB9 for the Cost element a default Profit Center for Cost center.
Hope this helps u in resolve the issue.
