Hi Vinod,
Did you find any solution for your issue?
We need to do some mass update of profit center for a big chunk of our materials by this Dec.
Last time we tried changing the profit center we faced error MM326.
Is there an SAP note or some other solution that can be used for this case?
Thanks

Change the profit center in the material master

dear All,
we need to change the profit center but the system is not letting because the is stock.
i was thinking if we issue this stock on any cost center, change the profit center and then cancel the issuing material document ...
what do you think ,,,, would this effect the accounting badly ?? if so,, please recommend other ways

Hi, The only solution to change the "PROFIT CENTER" for you will be to maintain message MM335 in OMT4 as a warning, then change the Profit center & again change it to error.
Are you really thinking this is the right approach?
ever thought about how the posting are made in the other modules then? We dont live on an MM island, so a solution has to cover the requirements of the connected modules as well.
if you had received stock to a material with profit center A, then value is posted to profit center A.
if you change the profit center in material master to B while you have stock, the value of earlier receipts will not move from profit center A to B, they stay at A.
The next goods issue for this material is made against the profit center B.
this results in having a postive value at profit center A (which will never go away) and having a negative value at profit center B (because you had never received to profit center B what you just issued)
Because of this you should not change the message settings.

you cannot issue anything in the prior period if everything is already issued in the current period.
One should obtain the quantityof previous period in material master accounting view.
Finally you have to have zero stock in current and previous period before changing profit center.
How you approach this is based on the fact if the current period stock is bigger or smaller than the previous period stock.
if current period stock is bigger, then issue previous period stock with previous peiod date, and issue remaining stock in current period.
if current period stock is smaller than previous period stock, then you have to write on the delta in the current period, and subsequent issue the total stock in the previous period.

Your approach is right. when we had this issue we solved through created dummy material and issue it to dummy material, change the profit center and receive it back..

Goods issue to cost center or goods movement 309 to a dummy material will both affect accounting and create accounting documents.
of course, if everything works well then you will get accounting documents with opposite value after you have changed the profit center and you write on the quantity again.

Profit Center Maintaining in Material Master

If your client is very much strict enough to change the profit center in Material master only then you also tell him strictly that it is not possible & thats why the system is giving the error message.

Profit Center field in Material Master

Hi all
We have 9 plants. In 2 plants we want to do profit center field (MARC-PRCTR) mandatory in material master plant date/stor. 2 view. There is any user exit or setting required?
Please guide
Regards

Hi,
The path told in above reply is correct but making profit centre mandatory for only two plants is not possible.
You can make it mandatory for specified Material Type or you can make it mandatory while doing selected Transaction Like MM01 or MM02 etc

Profit Center Assignment on material master

Hi,
We have not assigned profit centers on materials and there are line items that are going to unassigned or dummy
We are into utility industry. We have 3 Profit centers Headquarters, Water Operation and Power Operation.
We have spare parts and other materials which are used for maintaining equipment or service orders in water operation and also power operation.
So to which profit center we need to assign these materials which are procured and used for water operation and power operation.
Just not sure which of the 2 profit centers we need to assign the materials to.
Thanks,
Rajan.

Hi,
In standard you can assign one profit center in material master. But you can maintain different profit centers for same material but maintained in different plant.
In Finished goods case you can set Profit center substitution in 0KEM.
Hope this clarifies your doubt.

Proper Profit center required for Material Master in Costing1

Dear All
We have 2 Profit center X_Pctr & Y_Pctr, while create a Material code & material code should be valid for X_Pctr, if user give
the Y_pctr the system give the error msg invalid Pctr.
Pls advise any enhancement. Is the BADI_MATERIAL_CHECK correct ?
Regards
Avijit

Profit center is linked to Plant. There can be only one to one relationship between a plant and profit center. So if you want to transact on a material on 2 different profit centers, then you need to two plants and you have create that material in these two plants.

Profit center valuation in material master

Does anyone know the table where the profit center valuation standard is stored. In MBEW I see the legal valuation standard but not the profit center valuation standard.

I can give you some information but not everything. I have gone through the deployment of material ledger using 3 valuations, but not the ones you are using. We used Local, Group and Group at Group. All 3 are at actual costing. What this means is that the local currency is the currency in the country where the plant exists. The group valuation is a straight conversion to US dollars from the local currency based on the currency conversion tables M and P rates. Note that both of these first two currencies can include intercompany profit if reflected on the transferring sales order between companies. The Group at Group is the US dollar conversion without the intercompany profit. We find this works for our business.
The other thing about material ledger is that you need to have a standard cost estimate so that material ledger can keep track of the cos component structure. The way it works is as follows:
Say the standard estimate shows labor=$100, materials=$200 and overhead=$300 for a total cost of $600. All transactions in the month using this material use the $600 standard. Now, when material ledger is run at month end, the PUP (periodc unit price) is calculated and let us assume the PUP values are labor=$150, materials=$250, overhead=$350 for a total PUP of $750. Material ledger already has tables with the details of the standard components against every transaction. Now it will apply the remaining adjustments totalling $150 to the proper cost components for COPA purposes. This is pushed to COPA using transaction KE27. Think of it like this...Actual cost is equal to standard ($600) plus/minus variances ($150).
Therefore, you always should have a standard cost estimate when using material ledger. At least that is my usage and understanding. I hope I provided useful information for you in some way.

About profit centers assignment in Material Master

Hi Frnds,
Have a doubt to clarify. As far as assigning the (Cost centers and) Profit Centers in Material Master (MM01/MM02 ) is concerned, when we look at the costing views, there we have an option only to enter a Profit Center and not a Cost Center. Can anyone suggest to me in this regards.
My doubt is: When we purchase a Raw material/ Semi finished (in short any material), it is a cost incurred to produce a Finished product, which means this has to hit some cost center, first.
And above all when a PO etc from MM are made, there the purchasing clerk punches the RELEVANT COST CENTERS, then:
what is the use of defaulting Profit center in the material master,(without actually defaulting both cost and profit centers in costing views of MM).
(ii) when a cost object (profit center) is being defaulted, why not cost center?
Coz, primarily we need to know the cost in purchasing the material, then add up all costs and OH and then arrive at a selling price, thereby arriving at PROFIT which is where profit center is highly useful.
Plz suggest
regards
sandhya

Hi,
To clarify your doubts see my response below:
1) Only Costs can be assigned to Cost Centres. i.e.Balance Sheet items cannot be assigned to Cost Centres.
2) On the other hand Balance Sheet items can be assigned to Profit Centres.
When you purchase a Raw material or Intermediate it is not a Cost at the point of Purchase but it is only a Cost at the time of Consumption, if the same is going to be inventorised. In this case it cannot be assigned to a Cost Centre as the Inventory Account which is a Balance Sheet Account is debited in FI.
Only when the Material is issued to the Production line for manufacture of a Finished product, the Cost centre will be manually assigned. Further, you cannot assign a default Cost Centre to a material , as the material can be issued & consumed by any Cost centre and thus the Cost centre will be assigned at the time of issue.
If you purchase a material and if the same is not going to be inventorised but it is a consumable material, it is assigned to a Cost Centre as the time of purchase and it will be debited to a P&L account in FI. The Cost Centre can be defaulted from the Purchase Requisition or the Purchase Order as the case maybe.
Profit centres are defaulted in the Material master, as we need to generate Profit Centre wise Financial statements and the Inventories need to be posted to Profit Centres to generate Financial statements.
Hope this clarifies your doubts.

Changes in Material Master leading to issues in MRP

Hi,
For a particular material a user changed a lot of material master data (MRP1 and MRP2 view) within a couple of hours.
As a result MRP is not working as we would expect:
- some orders have no quantity in the "Available quantity" column in MD04 and as a result do not trigger any PO (Received/Required quantity = -1, but Av qty = blank)
- whenever a shipment is foreseen it is consumed/reserved by/for the order which requested delivery date is closest after that shipment date
These are the changes made to the master data in November 2009:
Planning Strategy Group: from Make-To-Stock Production to No Planning to Strategy Group for Spares & Consumables to No Planning to Strategy Group for Spares & Consumables
MRP Group: from Client Specific MRP Group for Period Mgmt to General to External Procurement to Client Specific MRP Group for Period Mgmt to General to Client Specific MRP Group for Period Mgmt
Availabilty Check: from Indiv. Req. to Indiv. Req w/o PO. to Indiv. Req.
Unplanned Consumption in period: from blank to 11.2009
Fwd Consumption Period: from 0 to 999 to 0
Consumption Mode: from blank to Forward Consumption Only to blank
Unchanged MRP material master data:
Bwd Consumption Period: 0
MRP type: MRP
Planning Time Fence: 1
Lot size: WB (weekly lot size)
Procurement type: External Procurement
Backflush: always backflush
What should we do to have MRP work correctly again for this material?
Changes to material master MRP? Delete all schedule lines and start from scratch in SOs?
All help is much appreciated!
Best regards,
Geert

Two different profit center generated after material movement 201

Hi there:
Here is my issue:
After I did movement 201,then I went to mb03 to look at material document, then I click accounting document found that there are two different profit center appeared in two items, first line item is that credit inventory account 20208100, I don't know where does profit center come from in first item? Second item is that debit material consumption 60100000, cost center shows correct which is the one when I populated while doing movement 201, and profit center shows correct, since cost center belongs to it.

Hi Please see my reply as below:
This behaviour seems correct... I think your Profit center in Mat master is different than the Profit center of the cost center to which material was issued
Yes,because profit center in material master is blank in which plant to issue
Inventory account will always be credited with the PC assigned in Mat master
Considering the profit center of mat master is blank, so what default value does it be reflected to inventory account?
Consumption account (If it is created as Cost element) will always be debited with PC of the Cost Center to which material is issued
It was not created as cost element, based on your theory, it will be debited with PC of the material master, but PC of material master of specify plant is blank, so what default value does it be reflected to inventory consumption account?
Consumption account (If it is not created as Cost element) will always be debited with PC of the Material master

Not able to transfer changes in material master (periodic)

Hi Friends,
Got an issue here. I am not able to transfer the changes I made in material master. I want this as periodic, Made the specific setting in CFC9. And for your information 'Activate ALE Change Pointers Generally' and for massege type are activated.
But when I execute CFP1 I got massege: 'No appropriate master data changes: Transfer has not happen'.
I made changes in material master (global level),..like gross weight changed. Material is in active IM, no duplication.
Any help Please? We are on SCM 7.0.
Thanks,
Satyajit

OK, Guys I think I need to raise an OOS... It was for SCM 7.0, but was basic config....thts why I edited the thread so many times expecting some responce.
Edited by: Satyajit Patra on Mar 22, 2010 7:41 AM

Hi Satyajit,
Please look at OSS Note 1069560 - Data inconsistencies: Activating integration. models in parallel, if this helps you.
Since Gross data of material is in the basic view, it is common across plants , whereas, IMs are normally designed to have material masters at plant level.
We may have same material in different IMs with different plants. Therefore changes of the basic view fields are then contained in multiple IMs. SAP advises to have a larger IM or sequential activation of IMs.
I hope this will help you .

Profit Centre on a Material Master

Hi,
I have a question, i hope you can help!
Is it possible to have multiple profit centres on a material master? or do you have to extend the material master to another plant first?
Many thanks
Mark.
Edited by: Frankie Summerbell on Jan 26, 2011 5:32 PM

Is it possible to have multiple profit centres on a material master?
No it is not possible to have multiple Profit center for a single material master, only one can be maintained either of 3 views
A. Costing 1
B. Sales
c. Plant/storage location
or do you have to extend the material master to another plant first?
You can extend Material master to another plant and their you can add new profit center, if the profitability is at Plant level.Which is standard and widely used in business.

Open field for cost center on the material master

We have a unique requirement in a facility we intend to implement plant maintenance in to track a cost center to a material by including the cost center on the material master somewhere. Cost center is not a field on any of the material tabs we use for maintenance materials, but the requirement is just that it is tracked in a field, even if it's just an open field like a "user defined field" or another field not used often. We realize there are disadvantages such as the field not being checked against active cost centers, but we are looking at options short of adding cost center as a field manually to a tab (which I believe would require ABAP assistance). I don't think there are any other fields/tabs we are currently not utilizing but I could be wrong... The best option we can think of is adding it in a material characteristic so it shows on the classifications tab, but I thought I would see if anyone has any other ideas.
Thanks

Not sure what is the need of cost center on material master when you want to implement Plant maintenance module. Do you have any specific requirement for this?
Ideally cost center will be derived from either functional location/ equipment (equivalent of material master) on to PM work order or notification.
Can you elaborate the requirement?
After all if you wish to go with cost center, then I suggest it should be at plant level as PM requires plant level distribution. You can add up a custom field and give the reference of cost center data element with help of developer.

Userexit for populate profit center entry without material in T.code CORO.

Hi guru's
we are running T.code. CORO.. we want to populate profit center entry without material. can any one tell me the exact user-exit used for this and . can you tell me the procedure how to find the specific userexit trigger at that point while we are running any T.code.
Thanks in Advance..
GSANA
user exist in PP for transaction code CORO-process order without matl code to populate profit center entry, can u plz find out that & send it to me..

Thank you all for your valuable input.
Srinivasa, your suggestion is very good, especially when calculation of variances/WIP is required. But again as there is no cost relevant material where the WIP/Variances will be settled during settlement process?
1) PP need to create process order without material because changeover cost should not be charged to either material and capacity hours are consumed during changeover. 2) CO need to identify the cost of changeover which should be charged to cost center. So far we have achieved both of these two objectives by the following activities:
Creation of Process Order without material using CORO T.Code say 3 hours of changeover occurred we create order with quantity of 3 Hours. And confirmation of activities quantity 3 using COR6N so cost center is credited by 3 x rate per hour. As there is a separate Process Order type for Changeover we can identify changeover quantity and cost in a given period.
After contributors feedback in this thread I have come to conclusion that I don't need to assign Settlement Profile and PA Structure to Changeover Process Order type. So no need to run Process Order settlement. As there is no specific required for Changeover WIP/Variances as well.
