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 Field in customer master

    Dear Experts,
    Is it possible to activate the profit center field in customer master under billing data, I saw the account group layout but center field is not there.
    Is there any other way is there for activating the profit center field.
    I saw this field in one of my client.
    please help how to activate the profit center field in customer master
    Regards
    Sri

    Hi
    Profit center as a field is not available in Customer Master. However, if you have new gl activitaed it is copied to the customer line item  from the offsetting line item. By system design, it is imperative, that the subledgers like customer or vendors are updated with the profit center of the line item. This is what the concept of document splitting is all about.

  • 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 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.

    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.

  • 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

    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.

  • In which screen the Profit Center field can be seen in SAP CRM Product Master?

    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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • How to bring Profit center field in to asset master

    1.How to bring Profit center field in to Asset Master?

    Hi,
    Until some years ago Profit Center did not exist in FI-AA master data. The Profit Center was derived from other objects (like the cost center) during posting, but there was no way to enter a Profit Center directly in the asset.
    Asset master data has been enhanced with EHP 5 to contain also fields for Profit Center and Segment. To make use of that functionality you need to activate the Business Function for "Segment Reporting" as explained in the Link posted by Jayj before.
    Once Business Function "Segment Reporting" is active, you will be able to make ACSET settings for the Profit Center like for the other account assignment objects. Without the Business Function the field does not exist in asset accounting and therefore you cannot find it in customizing.
