Profit Center design by plant wise
Hi Experts,
My client is having central procurement unit and having 8 branches(warehouses) and they transfer the goods from head office to branch later on for their sale.And the legal requirement here is that cost is same across all warehouses and we adopted each branch as profit center for reporting.
My question is
1.How can I meet my requirement of cost is same as above at each storage location if I treated each one as plant ?
2.How I can assign profit centers if MM setup only one plant ?
3.And eventhough if I pick profit centers in above case as I need through substitution how can I record stock trnsfer in receiving profit center becz SAP we cannot get the fi/co document with intra plant transfer scenario with valaution type is same ?
Please give me your suggesitions and alternatives which is very helpful fo my project.
Good points will be assigned with better answer.
Hello,
I hope I understood the question properly.
Assumption - Each branch is a profit center (i.e. you would like to allocate the sales of each branch and the COGS of each branch to a different profit center).
You have 2 (quite exotic) options:
1. Define each branch as a profit center. in customizing for MM you can define that the valuation level is the copmany code and not the plant. This is not a very common approach but I have tested it a little and it works. This means that the moving average price for ALL of the plants in the company code for a certaing material will be identical. Be careful when implementing this in an environment with transaction data in MM.
2. Define each branch as a profit center. Use one plant and each branch as storage location. In this case since it is all one plant, the material will have one value. Try using the profit center substitution for sales order to assign the profit center to the sales order according to the storage location.
Please note - you will probably not be able to use transfer prices in PCA If you select option 2.
Kind regards,
Avihay

Plant wise balance sheet can not be taken, provided if you would have assigned one plant to one business area. that too you can see only on business area level or profit centre level. -
Profit center control By user wise
Hi Friend,
Can any one tell how to restrict the profit center by User wise?
Ex: I have three profit centers A B C & i have three users 1 2 3.
I have to the profit center like A for 1 & B for 2 & c for 3:
No one can use othe profit center.
This is user control:
Kindly give me your possible solutions:
Regards
BramhaHi Brahma,
You can restrict the profit per user by giving the right authorizations.
You can create three roles with different profit centers and assign each role to different user ID.
If there are only three profit centers, you can create manually. When there are number of organizational elements for which authorizations are to be segregated, you may consider using the DERVIED ROLE concept, where in all the child roles are being assigned to the mother roles and only the organizational elements will be changed in the child roles.
The other alternative would be:
Prepare validation in GGB0
and assign the validation accordingly in OB28.
Hope this will help you.
Thanks,

Dummy profit center when using plant abroad functionality
Dear all,
We are customizing plant abroad functionality for one customer. I have done that before for other customers but all other customers do have profit center on material master data and therefore no dummy profit center posting in the plant abroad flow.
My new customer do not have any profit center on material master data and are normally using profit center substitutions to get correct profit center on the postings. In the plant abroad flow we will have the same amount posted both as a credit and a debet to the same account (we have chosen account 309999) so the total will be 0, but we do not want to have postings on dummy profit center.
I tested to create a substituion in financial accounting in transaction GGB1 and on line item level, with prerequisite saying: When account number is 309999, profit center should be 11010. But I still get posting on dumy profit center?
Anyone that can help me?
Thank you very much in advance!

At time of sales order the profit center can be set by

Balance sheet per plant via profit center
Greetings!
Because of the reqt to create balance sheet reports per plant, I have assigned some of the balance sheet accounts as cost elements with CE category of 90. I was able to do this to the asset accounts but when I tried to do the same for the other GL accounts e.g. AR, AP, etc..., its not being shown in the list when I clicked the "Create batch input session" although its already included in the "Make Default Settings" list. Would appreciate any advice. Thanks.Hi Tess Sapico,
1. Create profit center for each Plant
2. you don't have to create Cost Element with category 90.
3. what you need to do is Add all the balance sheet items for Profit Center accounting in configuration under the setting "Controlling==>Profit Center Accounting==>Actual Posting==>Choose Additional Balance sheet and P&L Account"
Here you need to add all the balance sheet accounts and P&L account which are not cost elements.
Note: If you dont have NEW GL and Document Splitting, then it is not possible to get fullfledged Balance Sheet per Profit Center (Plant wise in you case). You can only get some of the Balance sheet items like Accounts receivable, Accounts payable, Fixed Assets and Inventory in to Profit center
In anycase, if you have NEW GL in implementation, then your problem would be solved.
I can give soem more information this regard, if you have new gl in place.
Please let me know
Best Regards

OKB9 Profit center wise assignment is not allowing.
Dear Experts,
Here iam facing problem like, In OKB9 setting valuation area wise allowing for cost center assignment, Profit Center wise not allowing for cost center assignment.It means it will allow to assign cost centers, but while transacting error troughing like co object missing, if we make setting like valuation area, it not throughing any error.
We can think why cant we go for assignment with valuation area.But we have number of profit centers under one plant, Plant is equal to valuation area, Here iam suppose to go by profit center wise only, please give me a better solution to come out of this issue at the earliest.
Thanking u in advance
ChinniHi,
Select 3 in account assignment i.e. Profit Center Mandatory and then give profit center in combination of Cost Center.
May also I know why do u have multiple Profit Centers in a single plant? Generally u can create one profit center for one plant and there by u assign for material and plant combination this profit center. If u follow this process then u can use 1(Valuation area) as mandatory and assign the profit centers/cost centers for each plant.

Plant wise Balance Sheet and Profit and Loss report generation
Hi,
Can any one please give me the configuration steps for generating plant wise P&L stat and B/S.
The client has a single company code with 5 plants and wants to generate the statements plant wise.
Thank u,
Regards,
SP.Hi,
I SAP we can draw the B/S and P&L on company code and Business area. and from ECC6.0 on profit center.
We can not draw B/S and P&L on Plant. So is your r on Ecc 6.0 and above define profit center for each plant and then u can draw B/S and P&L on plant.
And if below Ecc 5.0 define business for each plant and u can have B/S and P&L .
Hope this is clear , assign the points.

Maintain Profit center and Plant
Helloo all,
We have One Company code 1xxx, one profit center 1xxx, and plants are 21xx, 31xx. To map a scenario need to maintain two different profit center seperatly for each plant. ie.
plant Profit cntr.
21xx 1xxx
31xx 2xxx
1st i would like to know is there specific setting or rule is to be done to maintain plant or profit.
2nd During creation of Material code by MM01 if i select plant 21xx and profit center 2xxx (Different as per maintained), system not giving any kind of error message (profit center doest not exit)
how it will be done.
Please suggestProfit Centers are Company Code specific. Unless you use a user exit that does the check there is no way of making profit center plant specific. You should put the Profit centers in material master to seperate the plants and get the correct postings.

Can we limit the profit center at plant level?
Hi Experts,
I need to limit a profit center for certain plant, is this possible?
Example:
Profit center should be inactive for plant P100.
Thanks,
KumarHi Kumar
This will have larger implications
1. You need to ensure that Mat Masters are updated with right PC.. You can use a BADI to substitute the PC automatically at the time of Mat master creation
2. In Cost centers, that you make per plant, you will have to ensure this manually or using Exit COOMKS02
3. Similarly, for Int orders and other Cost objects
4. you can also write a substituion in FI to check Plant and PC combination.. But if master data is ensured, you dont need substitution

Goto KS03,press F4 and serach using the option Cost center,enter the controlling area,company code and remove the
maximum no of entries and press enter.

Linking profit center and plant
Hi
I have two profit centers (1000 and 2000) and two plants (1001 and 2001). Each profit center represents each plant.
Now when i am creating material master or post any FI entry, I am able to put profit center 1000 and plant 2001. SAP is allowing this combination.
I want to restrict this combination. I want that if i use profit center 1000 then it should not allow plant other than 1001 or vice a versa (i.e. when i create any material in 1001, it should only allow profit center 1000).
How bring this restriction. Is there any plant to profit center linkage in Standard SAP.Hi,
it's a standard setting that profit center is company code dependent. You assign it to specific company code ( or more of them).
Additionally you assign plants to company code and system is doing the check for you. You cannot put a profit center which not belongs to specific company code so indirectly to specific plant.

Link between Plant and Profit Center
Hi,
Can any one let me know how to derive profit center for a plant or where this info is stored.
thanks,
preetham sHi
There is no direct relationship between a plant and profit center. Based on your configuration in the system, however, you can have various relationships. For eg, if your plant is one valuation arrea, there is a relationship for various cost center and cost elements at the valuation area level in T Code OKB9. In such a case, every valuation area relates to a plant and profit center derives the data for a plant from the cost center and cost element combination. Another way could be through the material master, where, for every plant view, you can assign a profit center. Another way of looking things could be a scenario, where every plant is also a profit center. In such a scenario, in EEC 6.0, you can draw Financial Statements also at Profit center level.
Thanks & Best Regards
