Profit center in Cost center master data

dear sap expert,
I have cost center (1100) with validity period 01.07.2010 to 31.12.9999.
and a profit center (1000) with validity period 01.07.2010 to 31.12.9999.
User want to extend the cost center from 19.08.1982.
First, I change the validity period of the profit center so it became 19.08.1982 to 31.12.9999 .
But when I create cost center 1100 again (KS01) with different period which is : 19.08.1982 to 30.06.2010, system give an error message " Changing profit center from to 1000 is not permitted " when I fill up profit center field (which is 1000).
Can you help how do I deal with this error?
regards

Changing profit center from to 1000 is not permitted
Message no. FAGL_ORG_UNITS011
Diagnosis
You want to change the profit center from to 1000. However, this is not permitted because transaction data either already exists for the account assignment object or could exist at the time when the change takes effect in the system. Changing the profit center in this instance can lead to inconsistencies in FI.
Examples:
1. There are costs on a cost center (WBS element) to which profit center A is assigned. If the profit center in the cost center master record were now changed to B and the costs then distributed to other cost centers, the currently assigned profit center - that is, profit center B - would be credited. Profit center A, however, would still have a debit posting.
2. There are not yet any costs on a cost center to which profit center A is assigned. For this cost center, an additional time slice needs to be created for a future period with profit center B. However, there is always a chance that transaction data continues to be entered in the cost center until the time when postings can be made to the affected period. This can lead to similar inconsistencies as those described in point 1.
System Response
The action is terminated.
Procedure
If you want the change in profit center to be possible, you can convert this error message into a warning message. You do this in the IMG activity Change Message Control (work area FAGL_ORG_UNITS, message number 011).

Can we assign the same profit center to diff costcenter master data

hi all
can we assign the same profit center to diff costcenter master data
what are the impacts in control parameters for actual and plan dat a
Thanks
MvNr

Hello,
There is no need that you should have the profit center and cost center one to one relation.
You can assign number of profit centers to a cost center. Meaning that the same profit center can be used in different cost center master data. Whenever, you make posting to cost center, the same will be flown to profit center.
For example when you post actual line items, it will update GLPCA and GLPCT in profit center accounting.

Go into BW - replicate the metadata
Then just connect via transformations or transfer rules the datasources to yoru infosources or master data objects
Create an infopackage per hierarchy!!!!! - press the button available hirachies from OLTP - click the one you want on the left - fire it off
Then repeat new infopackages for all hierachies

Functionality of Profit Center and Cost Center

Hi,
I am unable to understand the functionality of Profit center and cost center, I know that cost center represents area within an organization for which you will like to see the expenses for a particular time period. for example in an organisation we have three cos centers Accounts, HR and Admin. whenever you post an accounting document in FI you will specify the cost center to which the expense relates. but in some cases when you post an expense and give the relative cost center the profit center is also driven by the system. why is this behavior? i mean i have posted an expense not an income then why is system driving the profit center as well?
Profit centers are used if you want to see the profit of different area of your organisation. in what kind of postings we use profit center? and if we could use profit center to draw income and loss for a specific area why do we need segment reporting? and what is the difference between Segment and Business area. what i understood from their definition is that they are both same and use for same purpose.
I am totally lost in these concepts. please some one help me out with an example. i am stuck at this point. some one please clarify my concept of Profit Center, Cost Center, Segments and business area please.

Hi,
Cost center & Profit Center are organizational units within the enterprise structure , created for better internal control.
As the name suggests Cost Center is the lowest level of the organizational unit representing a defined location of cost incurrence or otherwise to which you can meaningfully assign the cost(both direct & Indirect).
Profit Center is an organizational unit in accounting ,where management would require to see the profitability & fix the responsibility. It may be each plant/division of the company .
If you consider the Plant is the Profit center, you can take the various deptts in the Plant as cost centers. you can draw a balance sheet & profit & loss account statement at profit center level but this will be for your internal use.From this you can know the ROI on particular area. Profit centers are assigned inside the cost center so when you update cost center, profit centers are updated automatically.
Where as Segments are used for legal reporting of your accounting standard as per IFRS. Both Business Area & Segments are more or less same with some technical difference.
Business area is a free organizational unit. It can be derived through cost center or can be entered manually.
But segment is a dependent organizational unit. It is defined & attached inside the profit center master data. It can’t be entered manually.
SAP suggest to use the Segment concept.
Thanks & regards

RE - Change profit center and cost center after LO activated

Hi ppl, One question. Is there any harm if we change the profit center and cost center of the business entity, building, rental unit only after the lease out has been activated?

No need to change the cost center, as you want to have valid from date as 01.10.2010.
Having profit center before that date is not an issue and does not have any negative impact.

Difference between cost center & Responsible cost center in asset master

I want to know difference between cost center & responsible cost center in asset master on following perspective.
1. Financial accounting veiw -
2. Business & report veiw.
I have read through F1 help
Cost Center
Key uniquely identifying a cost center.
Use
The SAP system uses the cost center assignment in the asset master record to determine the cost center affected when the following types of asset posting are made:
Fixed asset depreciation
Gain/loss from asset sales
Cost center responsible for asset
Cost center that is responsible for the asset, but which does not carry the depreciation for the asset.
Example
For example, the cost center "vehicles" can be responsible for all vehicles, while other cost centers carry the depreciation for the vehicles
I can understand from F1 what will be the impact on finance accounting. My question is how it helps in reporting etc & business logic for using responsible cost center. Which report will be usefull to see data at responsible cost center.

Assignment of Profit center in cost center

Hello Friends,
What is the significance of assignment of profit center in cost center ? System does not allow me to post activity prices in KP26 without assignment of profit center to cost center. It gives error that
"Profit center 1000/DUMMY_PCA does not exist for 01.04.2009"
How to solve this error with out assignment of profit center in cost center?
Waiting for reply!

Profit Center is an Organizational unit in Accounting that reflects a management-oriented structure of the organization for the purpose of internal control.
Hence its Assignemnt with Cost center should be there for proper assessment of Organisation.
If you do not assign a profit center, the SAP System transfers the data from the dummy profit center defined in configuration for the respective controlling area to Profit Center Accounting.
Therefor proper cost center with Proft center assgined has to be used for Cost center / actvity type planning in KP26.

And before I forget this I would like to point out that your question is not related to ABAP. Therefore this forum is not the right place to ask it anyway...

Cost center/work cost center

What is the difference between work cost cneter and cost center(cost center capture the cost via cost elements).but what abour work cost centers,

Dear Madhu,
COST CENTER INFORMATION:
Cost Center (KS01 - Create, KS02 - Change, KS03 - Display)
Definition of a Cost Center:
Master data and Configuration settings found in Controlling...
"An organizational unit within a controlling area that represents a defined location of cost incurrence."
The definition can be based on:
Functional requirements
Allocation criteria
Physical location
Responsibility for costs
WORK CENTER INFORMATION:
The following is information on how to create a work center and use it. If you need further information simply hit F1 Help in the application to explain the use of the main fields.
Work Center (CR01 - Create, CR02 - Change, CR03 - Display)
Using the data maintained for a work center, you can
- Determine which machines or people are to be used in the operations
- Calculate costs, capacities and dates for the operations
Transaction: OP42 - Allows you to Configure the default value for Work Center during the initial creation.
After creating many work center in the Routing, the users might want to check what materials and components allocation have been updated with this work center. You can used this program [Work Center in Routing - Search through all the routing for the material and component allocation used (|http://www.sap-basis-abap.com/abap008.htm]).
The standard program transaction CA80, checks where the work center was used in the routing. However, it did not list the components allocation for the work center.
Pooled Capacity field - When a production order 1234567 has the capacity requirement on its work center Wxxxxx. It means it has the requirement on pooled capacity Pxxxxx. If more than one work center shared this pooled capacity, the requirement (transaction CM01) will be shown on all the work center with the SAME shared pooled capacity.
I hope this helps to clarify the purpose of the Cost Center and Work Center and how they can be used.
Kind Regards,
Brendan

Derivation of Funds Center from cost center for Asset PR/PO in FM

Hello Experts,
We configured new FM area and relevant BCS settings. It is working fine except PR or PO for Account assignment category A.
Issue: system is not able derive funds center from cost center in the asset master. cost center is not updated in EBKN table for Asset PR.
we have maintained the following;
1. Funds center is activated in Asset account assignments
2. Maintained derivation rule with function module: FMDT_READ_MD_ASSET
3. Derivation rule for cost center to funds center also maintained
If maintain funds center manually in PR it is working fine and consuming budget also.
Requirement: How derive funds center from cost center assigned in asset. I have verified all tickets raised in this forum, but nothing has answered my question.
Request you to provide solution for above issue.
Thanks in advance for support.
Regards,
Chalapathi

Hi Venkata,
You have two derivation rules, first related to Asset function module and second one is related to CC and FC combination.
You need to maintain the function module derivation rule first then you need to maintain the derivation rule related to combination of CC and FC. Because first you need to derive CC from asset master and then you need to derive fund center with reference to this CC.
