Profit Center Currency in SAP FI New GL

Hi SAP Experts,
My client is on SAP 4.7 version. We are planning to upgrade to the ECC6.Currently,client is not using Procfit Center accounting functionality in SAP 4.7.They want to implement PCA in New GL.
My questions i s:-
a) PCA in New GL is linked to the Controlling area as it was in SAP 4.7?
b) Can we use PCA currency diffrent from Controlling area currency and Company code currency in New GL?
Thnaks in advance.

Hi,
Do not mix between New G/L and PCA. PCA could be used independently from New G/L, while the very concept of New G/L implies that you can avoid using PCA at all, but do the split to profit centres within New G/L itself. To your questions:
1) yes
2) yes (you can use 90 currency type, i.e. separate currency for PCA), maintained via 0KE5.

Eli

  • Defining profit center currency

    Hello,
    If I want to use the special profit center currency (90) as the EC-PCA report currency in transaction 0KE5 in the Profit Center Local Currency Type field I need to first define the required profit center currency. Could you please tell me where I can define this special profit center currency in customizing?

  • Profit Center Values in FBL5N report - New GL Activated

    Hello,
    We have new GL Account being activated. In FBL5N, the profit center field is not being filled.
    The profit center is maintained at Sales Order Line Item Level.
    My Questions:
    1) Why the profit center is not being populated in FBL5N, though the profit center field is available in the FBL5N Layout. (Profit center is maintained at sales order item level). Since the profit center is activated the system writes the line items to FAGLFLEXA and totals to FAGLFLEXT, do I need to depends on these tables only to know my customers.
    2) For FBL3N the equivalent is FAGLL03, like that what is the equivalent report for FBL5N
    3) Do we need to see the line item report for reconciliation account - FAGLL03 and include the customer into the line item layout.
    4)  When the new GL Accounting is activated, will the profit center line items are not written to GLPCA and GLPCT tables.
    Which transaction code I can check whether FI and PCA is balanced (I know it gets balanced but where can I check this) - Like KE5T in Classical Profit Center Accounting.
    Thanks in advance for your inputs.

    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,

  • Profit Center not updated in J1IEX & New GL  is activated.

    Hi All,
    Good Morning to Every body
    We have activated  New GL concept making Profit Center mandatory. Thereafter, we have made a Import Purchase Order. The material for which import is being made is given the cost center in the master data. Then MIGO has been done. Accounting entry is picking up the Profit center filed automatically. Then MIRO is done and accounting entry is picking up the Profit Center filed automatically. When we do J1IEX " Post Excise Invoice" then system is not picking up the Profit Center Field automatically and is displaying an error while saving. System is saying" No profit center is updated for line item 001".
    That means, system is not picking up the profit center from the material after MIGO into J1IEX while posting excise invocie.
    Please some one help me as to how we should capture the Profit Center field automatcially or mannually so that Excise Invoice can be posted.
    Thanks in advance. Useful answers will be awarded with points.
    Thanks & Regards

    Hello Rishikesh,
    Please use the "Capture and post" option in migo for exicse invoice if you are using New G/L with profit centre.

  • Profit center Detremination in Document Spliting(New Gl )

    Hello Gurus
    About the problem, I have some line items in AR against which I have to W/Off certain amount.T Code used here is F-32 and we have some reason codes defined for accounting the Bad Debta W/offs. Thru this combination we are passing the transaction for w/off. But when an Accounting Entry is generated, the Profit Center assigned to the Expense account (P&L account of Bad Debts w/off) is having some other Profit Center other than as expected by the user. User wants to have a profit center of the AR line item to appear against the Expence line itesm
    Where can i check the config that will show me the settings for Proft Center determination for such Expense Items.
    Definately the Reward points will be awarded...
    Thanks & Regards

    3keh does not work any more once you activate document splitting.
    The path the other guy gave is good for ECC6.
    However you now have two options.
    1 create a substution to say for PK and GL account, always have PC as XXXXX
    2/ Accept the current postings and manually journal them
    I would contact SAP over this issue. There is another thread open at the moment title is Table FAGL something or other which I have posted on.
    I suggest you push for a fix to this, perhaps it is available in the first enhancement pack for ECC5.
    Please award points if useful.

  • 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

    Today i faced problem in dummy client during configuration,
    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.
    regards
    RR

  • Activate Profit Center Accounting with Splitter in SPL / New GL

    ...............New G/L go live date.....................Migration Point (after this cannot post back)

    >I
    ...............I..(using old G/L till Migration).........I

    ...............PCA (activating it with splitter)
    We are Public Sector and are on ECC 6.0, we have been splitting Document based on Business Area and Fund. Before migrating to New GL functionality, we are also thinking to use the feature of document splitting with characteristic profit center. To do that we are thinking of the two following scenarios, but want to understand the possibility, the benefits and impact on the system
    Scenario A. Activating Profit Center Accounting with Splitter in Special Purpose Ledger on the GO-live date and populate Profit Center field in Classical G/L.
    Scenario B. Activating Profit Center Accounting with Splitter In New G/L on the GO-live date and populate Profit Center field in New G/L.

    Yes, I understand that (ours too). Based on your diagram, migration will be some time after 7/1/2011.
    Actually, I think what SAP recommends is complete migration before opening the new FY for posting. In any case, if you want to add a new split characteristic and you are already using SPL, I think it is better to add it to SPL before NewGL migration because SAP handles migration with SPL and without SPL (from classic GL) differently. With SPL is a lot more straight forward.

  • Add a new Profit-Center

    Dear Sir,
    We have already implemented Profit-Center accounting implemented in our present SAP . We have 2 differnt Plant and under each Plant there are 3 different Profit-Centers configured .
    Now , we need to create a new additional Profit-Center under the Plant -1 .
    Kindly guide us as what differnt steps need to be followed as a configuration change , to meet the new requirement .
    We will be highly grateful to you for the kind help pl .
    Rgds
    Sonia

    BY merely creating profit center is not sufficient, we have to consider so many things, if you are using ECC 6, we have to check segments, then posting authorizations.
    before this analyze the client requirement, at what context he want to add one more profit center, do they want to restrict users by profit centers, and also you have to segregate cost centers according to this profit centers, take a note of entire business process within the new profit center and analyze what are the process involved. check whether vendor master, materiel master, customer master is assigned any particular profit center, creation of new profit center is like creating one new company code, we have to consider each and every process.

    Hi SAP Experts,
    Please provide your valuable inputs on the below request:
    1) Do we have profit center field in SAP CRM Product Master?If yes  then in which screen can we see?
    2) At the moment we  are not using the profit center field in either of the systems(ECC and SAP CRM) in Material, we want to use this then  how to go ahead to have this field in CRM.
    3) If we add the profit center value in material master in ECC under general and plant data view then how this value will be replicated into SAP CRM , delta load or initial load?
    We are using SAP ECC 6.0 and SAP CRM 7.1 systems.
    Appreciated for your inputs at the earliest.

    See Note 386391
    The CRM Server is connected to an R/3 System that can be used to map Controlling and Profit Center Accounting. This note describes how the profit center is determined in the CRM integration.
    In the sales process and in service processing, the profit center is determined during the replication into the R/3 System and is stored in the translator.

  • Profit center report with cumulative local currency amount

    Hi,
    I am working to create a report with cumulative local currency .,so that the report data should tally with GL account balance (FS10N).
    This report is for balance sheet accounts . Whenever we used to create report with either report painter or drill down report, the option for defining key characteristics is showing only the profit center currency, company code currency or transaction currency.No option for cumulative local currency.
    Thanks,
    Anitha

    Hi Srinu
    RPC0 applies to CC reports and not PCA reports
    I am surprised by your statement that Summary reports derive values based on Current Fx rate
    GLPCA and GLPCT are the tables that are used in line item and Summary reports.. check the value in GLPCT and do they match with GLPCA or not
    I am still not convinced about your issue.. Why do you need currency conversion in report?
    Assume your comp code curr is USD and Cont Area curr is EUR.. You will be able to see all reports in both currencies without any conversion required during report execution. This is because all the transactions are recorded in these two currencies
    Ensure that the All Currencies indicator is turned ON for your contr area

  • Using Business Area and Profit Center Accounting with New GL functionality

    Hello,
    We are Public Sector and using ECC 6.0, we have been using Business Area with Fund Management. We also use Special Purpose Ledger with Document splitting. Before migrating to New GL functionality, we want to understand
    -     The possibility of using both Business Area and Profit Center Accounting, and the impact on the system
    -     If we activate Profit Center Accounting before migration, how will it work with the splitting process?
    -     If we migrate without Profit Center Accounting, will this cause the activation of Profit center accounting later to be more complicated, even if we migrate again?
    Thanking you

    Hi Sachin,
    Thank you for the reply, we want to know that
    -     The possibility of using both Business Area and Profit Center Accounting, and the impact on the system
    If we decide using Profit Center Accounting with Business Area with New GL functionality how we should do it
    -     should we activate classical Profit Center Accounting before migrating to New GL functionality, if we do this how will it work with the splitting process?
    -     If we migrate to New GL functionality without Profit Center Accounting, will this cause the activation of Profit center accounting later to be more complicated, even if we migrate again?
