Profit Center in Customer Line Item

Hi SDN,
We have created a validation during posting of Sp Gl transactions for both Vendor or Customer. This validation mandates the profit center in the Vendor/Customer line item to ensure that a profit center will be derived even for documents with purely balance sheet items (e.g. Dr AR Cr Bank Inc Clearing)
We were successfull in bringing out the profit center in the vendor line item (for Special GL transactions)
However, for customer special GL transactions, we did the same settings as with the vendor settings (updated FSG and posting key to activate profit center) but system does not show profit center field for customer sp GL transactions.
Any idea as to why only customer line item does not reflect the profit center while the vendor line item shows it?
Thanks

Hi,
What is the special GL indicator account type?
Have you changed the FSG settings for special GL account?

Hi Sweta
For obtaining profit center wise receivables/payablees and stock reports, you may need to follow these steps at every period end.
1. Execute F.5D - Calculate Balance sheet adjustment
2. Execute 1KEK - Transfer Payables/Receivables
3. Execute 1KEI - Transfer Assets
4. Execute 1KEH - Transfer material stocks
5. Execute 1KEJ - Transfer Work in progress
For more information, you can read the heading "Balance Sheet Items in Profit Center Accounting" in the below URL.

Profit center in Customer Line item display FBL5N

Hi All,
when we post to the customer, at the customer line item we cant enter any profit center (as there is no field to input). But at the postig to GL (line item 2) we have the profit center to key in .
But when using the standard report FBL1N, we have the field Profit center In the change layout.... Why is this provided. Does when we post to the GL line item with profit center , is it copied to the filed ?
Is there any configuration missing or need to be done.
Please advise .........
Best Regards

Hi ,
When you use PCA the idea is to capture revenues and profits on P&L accounts and by assigning some balance sheet accounts in config.
subsequently for AR and AP accounts you do the periodic transfer and that is when you assign the Profit Center based on the ofsetting entry.
As per SAP you cannot have a profit center at that point of time since a billing document can have multiple lines/multiple profit centers where as on line to the vendor/customer.
Let me know if you need further explanation.
Thanks,

Profit Center in Vendor Line Item

Hi
We have implemented SAP ECC6 - EHP4 and activated Document spliting and Profit Center field is mandatory.
Now we need to debit a Vendor and Credit another vendor ( new line item), when we try to post the document
we are getting error "balance in profit center", whereas we are not able to enter the Profit center during document entry.
Can we get help on this please.
Regards
Chandrasekaran A

Hi,
Profit Center field is not available for input in vendor line items.
There are other options available:-
1. To assign a default profit center to the vendor reconciliation account in (SPRO> Financial Accounting (New)> General Ledger Accounting (New) > Master Data > Profit Center > Assign Default Profit Center to Accounts)
Or
2. To create a substitution in OBBH for populating profit center in vendor line item.
Or.
3. If 1 and 2 does not meet your need, to use a BAPI BAPI_ACC_DOCUMENT_POST to posting the vendor documents via a custom program.

Profit Center in Vendor Line Item (T.Code:MIRO or F-02)

Hi Friends,
We are using ECC 6 but Document Splitting is not activated.
We need Profit Center in Vendor Line Item (MIRO or F-02). How we can make this settings.
Thanks
Harani

You can use a substitution for populating the profit center in the vendor line. You can also use the user exits.
Standard way in new GL is to use the Document Splitting featuire to populate the profit center in the vendor line based on other lines.
If you are using BADI_ACC_DOCUMENT_POST, here you can fill the profit center.

Profit center clearing accounts line item display

Dear all,
I have implemented document splitting at profit center level.
The zero balance clearing account (profit center clearing account) is open item managed and also line item display tick is put. eg both ticks are active.
I am trying to see the line items in the account using fbl3n,fs10n etc but am not able to view the line items althought the balance of the account is visible in fs10n.
the message i get is 'no line item selected'.
Pl suggest some way through which i can see the line items of the profit center clearing account.
Regards,
Rishikesh

Dear Venkatesh
I am also facing same problem, I am using T Code FAGLL03 to display Line Items for Zero Balance Clearing A/c but I am not getting line item display instead it is giving following error.
=========================================================================
Account 141010, company code VALC is clearing account
Message no. MSITEM111
Diagnosis
You have stored account 141010 in company code VALC as a clearing account. At the same time, you use line item management with this account.
System Response
Error message issued because line item display cannot read data for an account in a ledger if line items exist partially in the entry view together with clearing items for which there are no line items. In such cases, only the data with line items would be selected.
Procedure
Check the Customizing settings or account control. Change the settings so that only automatic postings without line items can be made to the account, or select a different account as the clearing account.
=========================================================================
Please do suggest me.
Thanks in Advance

Error : Balancing field "Profit Center" in the line item 001 not filed

Hello
The said error have come under Customer credit memo process for retune of excess tax deduction on billing through T/code VF02. Our system had activated GL splitting. The document line item views are
Customer Cr xxxxx
To CS Tax return Dr xxxxx
the Tax GL a/c is Balance sheet. Both a/c s are not assigned with default Pctr.
If we are assign the tax g/l with default Pctr table then system have post doc. as properly.
But we would like to avoid the same. Because the Tax a/c is not specific Pctr related it is depend on
income / expense GL a/c .
Please advise how to solve this, if any enhancement is available then mentioned.
Regards
Avijit

Hi
What is the Document Splitting method you are using? Are you using your own created splitting method or SAP Std? If you are using your own, than in that case for Item Category of Tax on Sales/Purchase, add allowed Business Transaction as revenue also. You can find the same in IMG>Financial Accounting (New)>General Ledger Accounting (New)>Business Transactions>Document Splitting>Extended Document Splitting>Assign Item Category to Splitting Method.
If you are using the standard splitting method, system will not allow you to change the allowed business transaction. In that case, if you want profit center to derive from material, you need to open a new gl account and assign the same in VKOA. Thereafter, to this gl account assign the item category as Revenue. System will derive the Profit Center from material master.
In your presentation of final accounts, you can club the two accounts of Tax and Tax returns under one head.
If either of the two options do not work, than i guess assignment of a default profit center in FAGL3KEH is one option. If your plant is also your profit center, in such a case, you may also check if Plant is there in the accounting document generated by VF01/VF02 and thereafter write a substitution rule for populating the profit center
Thanks & Regards

Profit Center on Vendor Line Item - When other line item is Bank

Dear Experts,
We have a peculiar problem here. Recently we went live with SAP ECC6.0. On the date of migration one cheque was issued to a Vendor who did not presented the same into Bank. The Cheque is now expired and we need to pass an entry into SAP as -
Debit 40 Bank Account $100
Credit 37 Other Clearing Vendor $100
The Vendor re-invoicing cannot be done as we cannot hit the Expense GL.
The core problem is that at the time of Vendor line item we cannot manually enter the Profit Center.
We have Doc Splitting activated and Profit Centers are mandatory.
If we decide to set the default Profit Centers for the concerned Reconciliation Account ALL of the goin forward postings, would hit this default PC.
Please Help
Thanks so much.

Hi,
I think you maintained the Document Splitting settings correctly, if the system is not allowing to clear the invoice u directly enter profit center in F-53
there is a option to enter profit center
if still system is not allowing to post you post by using F-02 and take document type as KA then it will allow to save the entry. you clear the both transactions by using F-44
making the default profit centers to reconciliation account is not suggestible, if your company is having operations in one area then you can use this will be possible in IMG - controlling - profit center accounting - assign profit center
I think it may help u and be careful and take authorizations from your superiors
All the Best

Profit Center Clearing Account Line Item not possible to display ?

Hi
All Experts ,
I want to see the line items for Profit Center clearing account ( Zero Balancing ) in FS10N but after double clicking in system
shows no line item possible for this account.
Please suggest some T.codes or reports through which I can see line items for Profit Center clearing account.
Is there any different configurations made for Profit center clearing account ?
Regards,
Sharvari.

Dear Sharvari,
You are not able to see line items because "line items" field in master record must not have been selected. To check it goto
FS00, enter your GL account. For documents which have already been posted, you will not be able to see line items even after selecting Line Item in master record.
To veiw the line item record for this GL account use table BSEG in SE16.

Profit Center in Expense line item

Hi
We have a scenario where at month end we are destroying goods which were returned. We credit and inventory account and debit the Return goods destroyed account.
In the inventory account, we have a profit center which is appearing from material master. In the expense line item too same profit center was getting posted. Somehow from this month when we did the write off postings, we got the dummy profit center in the expense line item. Inventory acount was correctly being posted.
It seems that some system is not able to find the profit center for the expense line item. We are not sure what happened.
Just need some insights on what could be the issue..?
what we already checked:
OKB9 - Profitability segment is there for expense line item
3KEH/3KEI - Expense account not maintaine there too.
We looked for any enhancements but does not seem to exist in this case.
Many thanks for your help in advance.
Regards
Neeraj

Ajay
Many thanks for your quick reply.
answer to your questions below.
1. Cost element was created long time back and was never changed.
2. I checked the earlier posted accounting documents and profit senter was same as in material master but now it is dummy profit center.
3. CO docs were generated earlier as well as now with profitability segment as cost object.
Let me know if you need any further information.

Hi, to find bugs like these is always "triggy" and I am afraid that there are no easy solutions!
You could try to go in TC GGB1 - go down to the substitution in "Create sales order" and there "activate total trace" or perhaps Expert trace - set breakpoint. After you done those go in and create the sales order again in the same session.
In order to be successful here ... will you need the help of an ABAP'er.
I believe the error to be related to master data as itu2019s usually are u2026 but sometimes are there a bug in the system.
Good luck

Substitution for profit center for credit line item

Hi
There is some common material sold in two segments. (Example head phone is sold from cell phone segment and computer segment). These segments are created as a division also for SD purpose.
Now for determining the profit center, i am using the validation rule. Logic: if the division in sales order is cell phone, entry should be posted in cell phone division. So my revenue and PGI will be in cell phone segment.
When head phone was procured, it was procured in computer segment (division). So my inventory credit should be the posted to computer segment (via profit center) and consumption should be posted to cell phone division (for matching with revenue). Hence i want some substitution rule for posting to two different profit center ( or segments, determined by profit center) at the time of PGI. Debit (consumption) should be to the profit center for cell phone and credit (inventory posting) should be to profit for computer.
Please help.

Hi
In an ideal scenario, profit center is derived from material master. Since, your business is such that profit center is nto known as unique for a material master, try using the following BADI to derive profit center at the time of Goods movement document. You should not maintain profit center in material master in such a case.

Customer Line Item - Profit Center

Hi All,
In Txn. FB60, Customer Line item, I need to bring Profit Center.
Can you please pass some ideas, if possible.
Regards,

If are on classic GL you cannot have profit center on Customer Line item.
The reason is simple:
If you are having
Customer Account Dr 1000
To Income Account 1 100 Profit Center A
To Income Account 2 200 Profit Center B
To Income Account 3 500 Profit Center C
Which profit center do you want now in Customer Account??
In classic GL you do not have document splitting, hence, this CANNOT be achieved.

Dummy Profit Center -- Customer Line item

Hello
I have a scenerrio on dummy profit center
1. On Augst 2006 -- A customer invoice has been posted using FB70 and some how the customer account line item when to dummy profit center and other line items were posted to a the correct profit center.
2. On August 2006 -- Due to this business reversed original customer invoice using FB08 which again has customer account line item when to dummy profit center and other line items were posted to the correct profit center.
Origianl Invoice: Customer XYZ Ltd - GL 130024 ( Customer Reconciliation Account)--- Dummy profit Center -- Dr. 235,000 USD
Reversal : Customer XYZ Ltd - GL 130024 (Customer Reconciliation Account) -- Dummy profit center -- Cr. 235,000 USD
This is want we want and this is want we see in our FI entries and all are with the same posting dates.
Now some how when you look at KE5Z (Profit Center line items report) for dummy profit centers even today.
1. You see the original customer invoice showing dummy profit center on the customer account line item as Dr. 235,000 on GL 130024.
2. You see the reversal customer invoice showing correct profit center on the other line items and you dont see customer account line item that is GL130024 on this document.
3. Because of which dummy profit center is showing Dr.balance.
PCA report:
Origianl Invoice: Customer XYZ Ltd - GL 130024 ( Customer Reconciliation Account)--- Dummy profit Center -- Dr. 235,000 USD
Reversal : Customer XYZ Ltd - No entry except the same document number with the other line items.
Could you please give us the thoughts except the PCA entry only as business dont have to have this entry. Business basically want to know the reason for not showing the customer line item on the reversal document which will knot out the dummy.
Will assign good points
Thanks
Kumar

Hi,
You are saying that u have activated New G/L, but are u gone for document spliting also or not? if you have activated document spliting customer and vendor line items not at all required any profit center because it will petch the profit center from oppsite line item automatically for giving tallyed balance sheet at profit center leavel, so no question profit center required or going to dummy profit center because dummy profit center will be locked automatcially once u activate document spliting.
if you have not activated document spliting then customer and vendor line items may require profit center its depends on your field status settings, if you feel that it should not go to dummy profit center then maintain some profit center in 3keh & 3kei settings for customer and vendor reconcliation accounts, so that it will post to that profit center.
Thanks & Regards
