Profit-Center derivation in case of intra-company with external P/O

Hello,
I work within ECC 6.0 with new G/L and profit center accounting.
I wonder about the system behaviour in the following case:
1. profit center (PC) #1 is doing a sales order and needs material from PC#
2. PC #2 generates a purchase order (naming PC#1 in the P/O)
3. goods receipt leads to the posting
debit stock (PC#2) credit GR/IR (PC#2) ...o.K. from my side
4. invoice receipt
debit GR/IR (PC#1) credit A/P (PC#1)
5. subsequent postings (costs on sales orders) o.K.
As you can see debit and credit an the GR/IR are not balanced on profit center level.
Does anyone have an idea how to solve that? Is there a user exit or something?
Thanks and best wishes for 2012
Thomas

Hello Sangram,
thank you for your fast reply.
It is not about the amounts. They are correct.
I got confused regarding the change of the profit center numbers on the level of the GR/IR.

Profit Center derivation at the time of invoicing

Hi,
Business requirement is to map fixed profit center for combination of Main and Sub transactions at the time of invoicing.
As per my understanding, to derive fixed values for main and sub transactions, cokey needs to be mapped at EK02 which will in turn pick up values from table TECOD and TFKCOD as per case.
Values are also flowing correctly in FM ISU_CODATA_DETERMINE and FKK_CODATA_DETERMINE.
But actual results are not matching with expected values.
For Profit center derivation, reference SAP notes direct to event 0140 and 1102 both of which are not getting triggered while invoicing.
Moreover, I have also tried maintaining values in posting area 2610 but still no change.
So could you kindly provide your expert opinion as to how to achieve subject requirement.
Regards,
Paresh

Hi,
Finally found solution through EK02.
Here is basic crux for derivation at the time of invoicing.
Profit center gets derived through Contract (through COKEY). If this value needs overriding then field NOCRCT (should be X) with proper values in COKEY at EK02 level.
Moreover, to ensure that it is working always go for full reversal (EA13) and then do rebilling and reinvoicing.
Hope it helps to others who may have to face such requirement from business.

Profit center derivation : PO

When we post a GR, the Material document has a different Profit Center.
In the IR document, we find a different Profit center.
And in the FI document posted, the Profit center is different...
Can anyone tell me why the system is picking up different profit centers ?
Is there any configuration step for the same or where we assign the same...
Thanks,
Srikanth.

in case of PO MIGO, MIRO, Normally Profit Center will be derived form the Material Master only.
As you said, yes there is default setting for default profit center derivation for the specified GL and path for the same is as follows:-
Financial Accounting >General Ledger accounitng(new)>Masterdata>Profit Center>Assing default profit center to Accounts.
i hope it will be crealr.

Profit Center Problem in case of PGI after delivery

Hello All,
The problem is related to Stock Transfer Order (STO) between two plants which is as follows -
When a PO is raised for Material 1 the Profit Center is maintained in the material master in the Supplying Plant A but not maintained in the material master for Material 1 in the Recipient Plant B.After Delivery & PGI when posting is checked it is observed that In case of Supplying Plant A inventory a/c is getting credited reflecting the assigned profit center while in case of Recipient Plant B inventory a/c is getting debited but the profit center field remained blank.Is there any configuration possible to check/restrict the PGI posting when the profit center is not getting reflected in the recipient Plant without making the profit center field as 'mandatory' in the General Plant & Storage Data of the Material Master??
Please suggest at the earliest.
Thanks & Regards

Profit Center Derivation in Service (CS) order

Hello All,
I need some inputs / clarifications on below query.
Service Order is being created with internal / external labors / services / materials. Debit memo request has been created.
In Service Order & Debit Memo Request, Profit center has been derived from Responsible work center which has been maintained in Main Work Center in Header tab of Service order.
Hope, this is standard functionality.
But I want to get the Profit Center based on my reference technical object. I understand by going through many threads that profit center derivation from technical object's cost center can be done only though development as suggested in Profit center substitution in IW31/ IW32.
Just by having curiosity as this thread had been posted in 2009, is there any new enhancement or functionality by which profit center can be derived from technical object's cost center??
Looking forward your suggestions...

Maheswaran KD,
Yes, as standard the profit centre is determined from the cost centre in the main work centre.
Have a look at user-exit IWO10005: Maintenance order: Customer specific determination of profit centre

Asset issue : profit center derivation in New GL

Hi,
I have configured & activated new GL Accounting in my system (ECC 6.0). All my splitting & derivation is working except for transactions related to assets. Whenever I try to do a posting against asset, I get following generic error.
Balancing field "Profit Center" in line item 001 not filled
Message no. GLT2201
Diagnosis
The field Profit Center marked as balancing is not filled with any value in line item 001, even after document splitting.
System Response
The document cannot be posted.
Procedure
First check your entries.
Additional causes could be:
No value can be derived for this field from the current document data.
You have entered a document type that is not designed for this business purpose.
I have done & checked the following :
1. given cost center in asset master which derives the business area. the profit center is given in the cost center master
2. checked the field status group for the asset recon. a/c, posting keys 70, 75 where PC is optional.
3. Confirmed that doc type AA and asset recon ac are characterised for splitting.
I am clueless why is the asset not taking the profit center during transactions.
any welcome would be deeply appreciated.
Regards,
Ryan

Hi,
Check for the Document splitting configuration as to whether you have assigned the Business Transaction and the Transaction variants to the Document type AA.
And in the step,Document splitting characteristics for general ledgers,whether the Profit center has been made manadatory and zero balance .
And also for the Field status groups related to Assets like G007 ,check whether the profit center is optional.
If still problem is there,revert back.

Profit center derivation rule

HI
We need to maintain the profit center derivation rule in the delivery or billing document, i.e. if batch no starts as A- Profit center-1000, B -Profit center-2000. We have used some user exit in order and working fine. where as our client is interested to have same in delivery or billing document. Is there any user exits are available. The profit center should be determined as per batch no starts and not as maintained in the material master.

Profit center derivation

Hi Guys,
I want to know how the profit center derivation is done. I mean how do we draw profit center wise balance sheet? Do we assign profit center to GL accounts ?
Where is this assignment done and what exactly do we mean by profit center derivation.
Please explain.
Thanks
Srikanth.

Hi,
You can do this assignment in 3KEH transaction. Please, notice that this is relevant msotly for direct FI postings. You can also assign profit centre to various master data: materials, assets, etc. Thus, every transaction involving this object will be put on corresponding profit centre.
Regards,
Eli

Hi, you need to activate cost center in AA,and make it optional for account and posting key, then PC'd derive from Cost center

Profit center derived from business area

Hello,
We are having a problem with one of our business areas. We are posting F-53 disbursements from a custom program (using a BDC). When we fill in the initial screen, we currently fill the business area field (GSBER). The profit center (PRCTR) is then derived from the business area. This is working for all of our business areas except one. For this one particular business area, an invalid profit center (one that doesn't exist) is somehow being derived. Where is the derivation determined? I've seen transactions 3KEH, 3KEI, and 1KE4 all mentioned in reference to derivation rules; unfortunately I can't access any of these (no authorization), so I can't even look to see whether we have any entries there or if those transactions are relevant to this problem. If someone can tell me which transaction or table would control the business area to profit center derivation, I can at least have someone with the correct authorizations take a look. I was able to look in FMDERIVE, and I don't see any relevant strategies there.
Thanks,
April Erickson
Solved: Entries were in 3KEI. The entries there had been moved to test and production, but the corresponding profit center entry in CEPC had not.

Hi sachin
Documnet type RE is given business transaction varaint 'vendor invoice'.
In this input tax account item category is assigned in the splitting rule.
In fact, system inherits BA and PC from opposite line item.
But when we substitute other PC in input tax account then the system stops inheriting for BA also.
So, my question is whether inheritance will apply to all characteristics only or it can be applied for one characteristic ( BA) and other charactriestic PC can be derived in another way using substitution.

How to overwrite the profit center derived

Hi,
I am posting sd document which is creating the accounting doc. In this the profit center is derived for all the line item . Now for certain accounts I want to attach fixed profit center & not the profit center derived from earlier line item. When I am creating substitution or derivation for this it is not overwritting the derived profit center.
How can i overwrite the derived profit center.
Please help us to resolve the issue.
CHEERS

Hi,
The Profit center is derived either from Master data or from the configuration.
The master datas are
1) Material Master
2) Cost centers
The configuration it copied from the OKB9 for default profit center for the Cost element.
So when you post the SD document this will be related to the Material only,so check in material master.

Raj

Profit center derivation in cross company transactions

Hi
I have following business scenario:
we have 2 company codes A and B
A company is there in X and Y locations
B company is there in D and E locations
Now we mapped locations are Profit Centers.
Now we are transferring vendor balance from company A and location X to Company code B and location D.
In this case, how does system find profit center?
Thanks and Regards
Apparao

Hi KK
Usually, in the vendor line you dont have the Option to enter PC
So, ideally, your accounting entry to do the transfer will be
1. Company A
Vendor Dr and Clearing GL Account Cr (PC - X)
2. Company B
Clearing GL Account Dr and Vendor Cr (PC - D)
When you enter the PC in the Clearing GL, the same gets passed on to Vendor line item (Either real time or @ Period end depending on you have Doc Splitting active or not)

Profit Center Derivation in Intercompany STO

Hi
ECC 6, I am looking for a solution to derive the Profit Center in STO inter-company billing. The requirement is as follows:
Company A, Sales organization SO1, Distribution Channel C1, Division D1 and Plant 1000.
The stock is transferred from Plant 1000 (Company A) to Plant 2000 (Company B).
The Profit Center assigned in Material Master of Plant 1000, Sales Org SO1, Distribution Channel C1 is 'ABCDEF'
While creating inter-company billing document, system by default picks a Profit Center 'ABCDEF' (from material master). I want to derive the profit center according to Sales Organization, Customer Account Assignment Group, Customer Group and Product Hierarchy.
I created a custom table to map the profit center according to Sales org, Acct Asst Grp, Customer Grp and Product Hierarchy.
How to get the profit center from the custom table? It is Inter-company STO (Not a Sales Order).
I gone through various SAP notes and SCN, none of them giving clear cut steps to be followed to get the required profit center instead of profit center from material master.
Please do say to use Profit Center Substitution (0KEM or 0KEL) it is not applicable in this case.
Any suggestions is appreciated.
Thanks
Venkat

Hi Venkat
You can use exit EXIT_SAPLPCRW_002 (Include ZXPCAU04) to write your logic to read from the Z Table
There is another include which I have used in the past ZXPCAF01.. I dont remember it is part of which exit. May be your ABAP guys can help you find it

Profit center derivation in sales order with New GL

Dear Gurus,
We are using the New GL, so EC-PCA is not activated.
We would like to set-up a substitution rule in order to derive the profit center in the sales order and customer invoice (we don't want the profit center to always be derived from the costing view of the material master data).
I created a substitution rule with transaction 0KEM and assigned it to the controlling area with active status"3" (Other transactions + cross-company (orders + billing doc.)).
Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be called when I create a sales order.
Can you please confirm gthat 0KEM is the transaction to use even when we use New GL without EC-PCA?
Where should I put a breakpoint in order to trace the call to the substitution rule?
Thanks a lot in advance for your help.
Regards,
Simo

Profit Center Derivation in GR and Invoice documetns form MM component

Hi All,
My clien wants to set a profit center(B/S)999999 for only GR/IR clearing account (not on expense line item) on Goods receipt and invoice documents. At present it is getting derived from cost object assgined to the purchase order.
I tried using substituion(GGB1) and able to replace the profit center on GR/IR clearing account line item in Goods Receipt.
But after doing MIRO, the FI document shows the profit center assigned to the cost object in PO instead of the assigned profit center in substitution rule.
Please advise.
Thanks in advance!!!!!
Kumar

Hi
Ideally you should not use Substitution Rule for posting to a fixed profit center for MIGO and MIRO Documents. Logically this is not correct. However, if you still want to check if you have maintained profit center as a substitutable field in VWTYGB01. This has to be set to 15 for substitution at complete document level. Further you need to use a BADI to have the same populated. It woul dnot be populated with a simple Substitution rule for MM generated documents
