Profit Center Dummy for Vendor advance account - spl gl indicator A

Hi
I have activated the PCA in 4.7, i have posted the vendor advance transaction using f-48. I have given the relevant profit center in the offseeting line item of vendor, i.e bank clearing account. I have maintained this account in 3keh settings too. When i run 1kek to update AR/AP, the vendor related Recon account (i.e spl gl A - assigned account) is updating with dummy profit center.
Is there any notes i need to apply in 4.7 to enusre this picks up the profit center from offsetting line or how to resolve this issue?

Mahesh

HI Rajesh
I checked for the 3keh setting, the offsetting GL is assigned there. How ever, for vendor account i.e recon account, we will not assign in 3keh. So when u run 1kek, the vendor recon gl account is updated with the PC from offsetting line, that is the way 1kek works rite. Now for prepayment through spl gl indicator, i assigned that recon account to 3keh, i ran 1kek, and its updating the Profit Center. That means we need to assign Spl GL assigned recon accounts too to 3keh. Thought let me share this with you.

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

Profit center determination for vendor materials with outsourcing

Hello,
We maintained a material with a profit center. This material is bought from a supplier, but in order to do so we deliver him the raw materials. For both materials we have the same profit center. Everything goes wel in the masterdata and PO. After posting the MIGO the profit center of the to the suppl;ier delivered material changes automatically to 999.
See attached print screen.

Hi,
What is 999? if it a dummy PC or a Non Dummy PC?
I believe, your MIGO is posting to a CO object (Account assigned P.O.)
where in either the PC 999 is assigned OR No PC is assigned (999 being dummy PC)

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.

Profit Center Dummy After F-04

Hello Experts,
After run transaction F-04 "Transfer posting with clearing" (this transaction is necessary because we need to pay for a different vendor) and After Runninf 1KEK the system shows the values on profit center dummy (when not paid in the same month period). Any idea on how i can keep the original profit center on it.?
Thanks in advance,
Leandro.

Its not possible to do so for vendors as you are using classical pc .... you can distribute the amounts from dummy profit center to original profit centers...

Profit center at GR IR Clearing Account - MIGO (Account Assignment Q)

Dear all,
We are implementing SAP into a Real estate business client and based on requirements from the Finance we have agreed to have profit centre level balance sheet for each of tower
Hence lets take an example
There is a project with PC1 (Common Costs) and 3 buildings (PC2, PC3 and PC4 for each building). We have one plant for one project and hence in material master plant is given as PC1.
If we procure Raw materials specific to each building (account assignment Q) with WBS element of tower one and PC2 defined in account assignment of WBS master data, below is the mentioned entry which I am getting
Inventory A/c Dr. PC2
Clearing A/c Dr. PC1
To GR IR Clearing PC1
To Clearing A/c PC2
Profit center document splitting and zero balancing is active in my scenario
My issue is that GR IR Clearing should not take profit center from MM master, however it should override profit center of WBS element if procurement is done with account assignment Q
Request you to give your thoughts
Thanks
Nishu

Hi Kavita,
The purpose of creating profit center for each tower was to identify vendors / customers balance from Finance through profit center reporting
As mentioned in above scenario it does not makes sense to have inventory at tower profit center and GR / IR or vendor at HO Profit center
Any method available with which we can bypass material master profit center through document splitting or account assignment setting in material master.
My MM team is also working on it and they are not keen to have one plant for one profit center. Hence we are looking to find a workaround for the above situation
Thanks

Profit centre option for vendor while using t code FB60

Dear Sap experts,
I am trying to post a document using the t code FB60 and while defining the vendor account X and the GL account Y, but when the line items are specified in the GL, as the cost element is mandatory, the cost center 130000 is defined, and the profit center 1300 is assigned to the above cost center.
Since, the cost center may differ depending on the nature of the transaction, so will the profit center assigned to the cost center will change, but i would want the same profit center that is assigned to the GL account to be populated { example if i use the profit center 1300 for the GL, same should be populated for the vendor, if i use the profit center 1100, the same should be populated for the vendor}
Since fb60 does not allow you to post the profit center / cost center directly to the vendor account, this is just being little hurdle in arriving at my requirement
Kindly let me know if i may have missed any process or otherwise that i need to follow to meet my requirement.
Thanks
Ganesh.S

it's a bit weird what you are trying to do... the link cost center - profit center is there not to be abused....
whey not use segment or internal order for this?
or use a group of profit centers to build your details.
or cycle or distrubute the amounts on the account.
I believe that the substitution comes after OKB9, you could use that.

Posting to a profit center on a vendor line item

We want to post to a profit center on a vendor line item for incoming Accounts Payable invoices. When we use posting key 31, the profit center field is not displayed at all. Is there a way to open the field to post to it?

Posting to sub ledger accounts, i.e. vendors and customers cant have a profit or a cost center directly posted to it.
If you want to post to a specif PC or CC in a Vendor or Customer posting you need to do this via a GL account, P&L.
So for a vendor invoice you credit the vendor and debit COGS, and in the COGS account you assign a Cost Center.
If you are using the new GL, the Profit Center will be derived from the postings made to the GL account.
Please note whatever settings you make in terms of FSG and PK, you will never be able to post directly to a PC or CC on a Vendor line item.
Hope this helps.

F110 Profit Center Dummy error

Hi:
I have a problem with tx F110, I hope you could help me.
Since two or tree weeks when we use F110 for Automatic payments, we find that erverything goses to profit center dummy.
We have change nothing (as far I know) and responsible for FI syas nothing has changed.
Do you know where I can search for this solution? If we use trx FB01 we habe no problem.
Thanks in advance.
Regards.

Hi,
It might be the problem with the payment document type (which is tied to the payment method). So, check the payment documents generated by the recent F110 run and identify the document type. Make sure, in New GL config, this document type is assigned to the Transaction 1000 - Payments.

Profit center field for posting key 06

Hi!
I have configured as profit centre is an optional field for GL account field status group & posting keys field status group.
But for posting key 06, system is not showing the profit centre for transaction code FB01 or F-28 or F-02 .
I checked for coding block also, but for other posting keys, system is showing profit centre, but not for this.
if i have to change coding block , how to assign coding block to transaction codes?
regs,
ramesh

There can't be a profit center on sub-ledger (customer/vendor) items. Check out the following thread.
Profit Center for Vendor/Customer line item in F-02
In new GL, you specify profit center on the GL line items in entry view and then via document splitting characteristic settings, you can see the profit center on receivables/payables reconciliation account in the entry view.

Profit center is posted to asset account??

Hello experts,
I wonder it is correct that profit center is posted to asset account.
Now our B1 2005B does that.
For example,
In AR credit memo (or Sales return) , we input profit center XX into the documents.
Then B1 create Journal Entry as below;
Dr
Sales Revenue 100 , profit center XX
Inventory 50, profit center XX
Cr
AR 100,
Cost of Goods Sold 50, profit center XX
Inventory account is asset account, so I'd like to know this is correct and SAP's spec ? or SAP's bug?
Please give your advise,
Kaori

Hi Kaori,
The functionality is slightly different in the B version so I can tell you how it working in the A version and maybe you can verify this.
The Profit Center should only be allocated to accounts that has been defined as Account type 'Sales' or 'Expenditure'. If the Inventory account is given this definition it will allocate the profit center to the inventory as well.
Normally by default P&L account are set as 'Sales' or 'Expenditure' and Balance Sheet accounts set as Account type 'Other'.
Hope it helps.

Profit center line for free of charge items

Hi all
Is it possible to force SAP to write the create a profit center items for free of charge items of SD invoice (positions TANN), of course with zero value but with the quantity data?
Thanks.
Davide

Hi,
in NewGL I am sure that its not possible as there is no accounting document created (which contains the PRCTR information as well) if the revenue is zero.
And I am pretty sure that its not possible too in old PCA (Ledger 8A).
CO-PA docs. can be created for free of charge items (otherwise the cost of these items are missing in costing-based CO-PA).

Profit center charge to balance sheet account

Hi SAP experts,
I would like to seeking for professional advice on is below business process require to use MM module?
Currently my customer is using MB1B (material transfer) to make an posting to balance sheet account (100) and in MB1B screen there was a column to assign profit center (P1).
So the accounting document will be DR 100(g/l) & CR 110(g/l) and charge to P1(profit center)
When customer go to view on KE80, will show the amount transfer charge to cost element 400
When i go to view line item display for g/l 100, i didn't see got any profit center is assign to as i know that balance sheet account not require to charge cost object (customer is not in SAP 5.0)
Now i would like to ask is there any possible, i can post a profit center(P1) to balance sheet account(100) and charge to other cost element (400) without using MB1B? only use manual general ledger accounting posting (FB01)
Note: customer is not in ECC6
Thanks

Hi,
I'm not an expert in Cost accounting at all. from my own experience I know, that some of P&L accounts might be relevant to Cost accounting and in this case you need to make appropriate settings in the following node for Treasury: Treasury and Risk Management -> Transaction Manager -> General Settings -> Accounting -> Link to Other Accounting Components -> Allocate Additional Account Assignments to Account Assignment References.
I guess in your case it is only Interest Income account relevant for Cost center, you can check it by clicking on field Reference key in standard report TPM20 and you should be referred to window with several documents, including Cost accounting document. As far as I remember, Cost accounting document might consist of just one line item.
hope this will help you.
