Moderator: Please, read and respect the rules of SDN

Hi,
ECC 6.0 itself offers various features. One of them is Document Splitting function. It is relevant for Profit center as well. Like now, based on the requirement of client, you can get financial statements Profit Center wise. (Also on business area/segment wise)
This is one of the most important feature of 6.0.
You can search for SAP notes for additional & detailed info on Doc splitting feature.

Deletion or deactivation of Dummy Profit center in ECC 6.0

Dear Experts,
How do I delete or deactivate dummy pofit center.
Regards,
David

HI,
Dummy Profit Center is a must with Classic Profit Center Accounting, so no question of deletion/de-activation of Dummy PC.
The dummy profit center is the default profit center to which data is posted when the corresponding object has not been assigned to a profit center. If you have PCA active and any of your posting results in not being able to derive Profit Center, then system posts to this default Profit center called 'Dummy Profit center'.
Learn more on 'Dummy Profit Center' from this link:

Profit Center Accounting in ECC 5.0

We are on ECC 5.0 and having some issues with profit center accounting. Is there any way that I can tell if Profit Center Accounting has been fully configured? If anyone has any documentation, I would greatly appreciate it.
Here are the problems:
1. We are posting to profit centers during document entry (FB50, FB60, FB70, FB01, F-02, etc.) however, when I go to review the documents, it only shows the accounting document and not a profit center accounting document. This doesn't seem normal. I can confirm that we have a document type set up for PCA, but it doesn't appear to have a number range assigned to it. Would there be any reason why a company wouldn't want to have PCA documents being created? We are running reports out of BW as well....
2. When I try to run typical PCA reports such as
KE5Z                Profit Center: Actual Line Items
S_ALR_87009712      Profit Center: Area list plan/act.
S_ALR_87013327      Plan/Actual/Variance: Profit Centers
S_ALR_87013332      Curr.Period,Aggreg.,Year Pl/Act.PrCt
S_ALR_87013340      PrCtr Group: Plan/Actual Comparison
I get the message, "No data found." I have gone to the GLPCA and GLPCT tables and they show 0 entries. Are these transactions considered "old PCA" in ECC 5.0? Are there other PCA reports that may read from new PCA tables or are there new PCA transactions in ECC 5.0?
Thanks for any help or info.

Hello Linda,
The transactions are the same between the two versions.
To check if the customizing is ok you could see :
- If you have profit centers created KE53 or KCH6N
- The 1KE1(customizing analysis)give you a profit center resume of your customizing.
- Show if the 0KE5 transaction is completed with the controlling area, dummy profit center, valuation view, control indicator .
- To show if the EC-PCA actual posting is activated, transaction 1KEF
- GB02, number range have to be created.

Profit Center Accounting in ECC 6.0 New GL Accounting

Hi,
I want to make my understanding clear.
If we are in ECC 6.0 and New GL accounting is active and also the One of the Document Spliiting characteristics is Profit Center, it means that all the document must have the Profit center to it.
In this way we can get the Profit center wise Balance sheet.
I hope my understing is clear till now. Please correct me if I am wrong.
Now with this, my next question is , do we really need to Configure the Profit Center Accounting node Under controlling?
If yes, why to do this? Because if we require Distribution or assessment cycle for the Profit center, it can be done through General Ledger Accounting node (New) period end closing process.
Please correct me if I am wrong.
regards

Hi Kerstin
Assume you are on ECC 6.0 and you dont create Dummy PC...
If doc splitting is active, you get an error that "PC in Line item XXXX not filled"... System does not look for Dummy PC in that case...
Same behaviour should have been replicated in CRM as well.. Dont you think so?? If I have not activated EC-PCA, I am not supposed to get any error related to Dummy PC... Thats the basic premise of SAP, as far as I know...
When Dummy PC is a feature of EC-PCA, system should look for it only when EC-PCA is active... Though you can say Dummy PC can be created from New GL Menu,, but the basic premise which stil remains is the behaviour is not the same in CRM & Other ECC components like FI, when the PC is not found.... One behaviour is as per EC PCA active and the other is as per New GL PCA active
Anyways, thanks for sharing your knowledge on this,
br, Ajay M

Bank Posting not being updated in Profit Center - ECC 6.0

My client has implemented ECC 6.0.Profit Center Accounting is also implemented.
The query is when I do a posting to the bank account system does not create a PC Doc. Can anybody help me with this.

Dear,
If you need to update Bank accounts in PC, you may try with 3KEH to maintain the GL under Profict center. I think PCA is updated in your Controlling Area.

Determining Profit Center,ECC Co. Code and Controlling Area in CRM campaign

Hi Experts,
My requirement is to capture the Profict Centers, ECC Company Code and the controlling area in CRM Marketing Plans/campaigns. Is it possible? We need to this data to flow to ECC subsequently when we go further with the sales cycle, i.e. Leads, Opp, ECC Quotations, ECC Sales Orders etc.
Can we use Sales Organization with CRM Marketing Plans/Campaigns to get these details therein? Please let me know what are the possible ways of doing that?
Thanks alot in advance.
Regards,
Neeraj

Hi - We have the same requirement. We have PS in ERP. We have run into a issue where the Profit Center and Company code are required, but on the Marketing Plan they are not there, we don't have key figure planning.
Can you provide details on how to enable this via Key Figure Planning.
Thanks,

Vipin

Hi,
Thanks for answer. The GLPCT table is not getting activated in the case when we activated the new GL Functionality so not able to link that table to BIW. Need to know what are the relevant tables that can be referred to in FI that includes profit center data & Secondary cost postings in CO.

ERP Sales Order with Profit Center value mandatory in ECC side!

Hi Experts,
I'm working with a scenario using SAP CRM 7.0 and ECC 6.0 EHP4, using ERP Sales Order and ERP Quotation.
The sales order transaction type in ECC side is set up to use profit center at item level as mandatory and I can't find this attribute at Item Details in CRM Webclient. I can't save my order, because this error and the AB Incompletion Log always shows this error.
Any ideas? Is it possible set profit center value in CRM?
Best Regards
Heber Olivar

Hi Heber!,
I hope you are doing well.
We have the same issue, please could you share us how did you resolve this issue?
We have SAP CRM 7.0 EHP2 and SAP ECC 6.0 and for the creation to ERP Orders correctly in SAP CRM is necessary the profit center value.
Thanks in advance.

Profit Center valuation without mateiral ledger activation in the ECC 6 ver

Dear Experts,
I would like to know whether it is necessary to activate material ledger in ECC 6 to derive profit center valuation by transfer pricing and the relavance of the new gl related to the profit center valuation.
Best Regards
Surya

Hi,
You got it right... for profit centre valuation using transfer prices, you need to have the Material ledger activated. Material Ledger allows to carryout material prices in Multiple Valuations and Multiple currencies.

ECCS - Adding Profit Center to Company Code Consolidation

Hello Gurus,
We use ECCS for our consolidation. We do only Legal consolidation and we also use Functional Area as a sub-item category for all the IS accounts. We are now trying to add Profit Center as one of the attributes. Initially, we planned to use the sub-item category, however, we can have only one and it's already taken by Functional Area. Is there a way I can
1. Add PC as an attribute
2. Enhance ECMCT to allow additional Sub-item?
Appreciate your advice and guidance.
Regards,
Venkat

The documentation at the menu path: t-code SPRO > Enterprise Controlling > Consolidation > Add Characteristics states:
Add Characteristics
The SAP standard consolidation database includes various preset characteristics, such as the consolidation unit, the financial statement (FS) item, the subitem, etc. If the information requirements of your group demand additional fields, you can define your own socalled custom characteristics.
This step shows you two ways to add characteristics to the consolidation database:
You can add up to five subassignments to the FS item.
You can add navigation attributes to the characteristic consolidation unit. The system then automatically assigns the same attribute to the characteristics partner unit and investee unit as well.
After adding a characteristic, the system generates the associated ABAP Dictionary objects and maintenance views.
To the consolidation database, you can also add characteristics based on structures that already exist in the SAP system (e.g. Region). However, you can also add characteristics, the structures of which still need to be generated.
Recommendation
Since custom characteristics extend the consolidation database, you should carefully examine which characteristics are to be added. SAP recommends, in particular, that you first finish creating the new characteristics, and that you make sure that want to use this set of data, before you activate the new characteristics and start the generation. This way you can avoid time-consuming deletions if a characteristic must be removed. Also, keep in mind that you can no longer delete a characteristic once you have posted data with the characteristic.
Example
Examples of subassignments for FS items are the Product Group and the Geographic Region.
An example of an attribute for consolidation units is the Company Type.
Standard settings
The standard SAP system already includes the following subassignments for FS items:
Partner unit
Subitem category and subitem
Transaction currency
Acquisition year
Acquisition period
Unit of measure
The standard SAP system already includes the following attributes for the consolidation unit:
Country
Company
Consolidation business area
Profit center
Controlling area
The attributes company, cons business area, profit center and controlling area are particularly useful when you use the integrated collection of reported financial data from your consolidation units.
Activities
1. Reorganize the field catalog. When this is done, the system copies the system field catalog into the customer field catalog. Choose Extras -> Field catalog -> Reorganize.
If you use integrated collection of reported data, during the reorganization you should include SAP's standard attributes in the selection. Note that, initially, these attributes are not included in the Reorganization selection screen.
2. If desired, create one or more new characteristics.
Enter the technical name (field name) of the new characteristic. The technical name must begin with the letters "ZZ".
Also set the appropriate indicator to define how the structure of the characteristic is to be built.
Technical Background Information:
Description, type, and length are properties of characteristics that you can enter directly or define by assigning a data element or domain. Data elements and domains are ABAP Dictionary objects that act as a central store of table field properties:
A data element defines the meaning of a field in business terms with texts and a reference to a domain.
A domain describes the technical properties of the field and defines permissible values for the characteristic if either of the following conditions is met:
- There is a list defining fixed values
- There is a reference to a check table
Normally data element and domain assignments are used to refer to check tables. You can, however, create a characteristic without any validation or texts by assigning a standard domain (for example CHAR07, NUM12).
Ways to create a characteristic:
a) Assigning a data element
Activate this indicator and assign a data element. The domain assignment is made by assigning the data element.
Note: If you run the elimination of IU profit/loss in transferred inventory and the system reads the required additional financial data from the totals database, you need to create the characteristic "product group" and assign it to data element FC_PRGRP.
b) Assigning a domain
Activate this indicator, then specify the meaning and assign a domain. By assigning a domain you define the type and length of the characteristic, and possibly you refer to fixed values or a check table.
c) Referencing a characteristic
Activate this indicator, then specify the description and set a reference to another characteristic. This has the effect of assigning the domain of the referenced characteristic.
d) Creating a characteristic with a new data element and check table
Activate this indicator, the specify the description, type (character or numeric), and length (1-32). The system generates a new check table for the characteristic.
e) Creating a characteristic without a check table (using a standard domain)
Activate this indicator and specify the description, type (character or numeric), and length (1-32). The system does not generate a check table.
Caution: Assigning data elements or domains does not itself ensure that validation, reading characteristic value texts, and Possible Entries Help will work as expected. The following conditions must be given:
The domain must have a check table or fixed values.
There must be either a text table with references to the check table, or the texts must be in the check table itself.
These conditions are always fulfilled by fields in the standard field catalog.
3. If needed, define compound relationships between characteristics in the detail screen of Characteristic Maintenance.
Some characteristics are dependent on other characteristics; that is, the values of dependent characteristics are meaningless in theabsence of values for independent characteristics. Such a relationship is called a characteristic compound. Technically, a check table then contains a key that consists of two parts.
Example: The Region, a dependent characteristic (check table T005S), forms a compound characteristic with the Country, an independent characteristic, because a region can be maintained or interpreted only if a country is specified.
Note the following restrictions when defining compounds:
Compounds can only be defined for characteristics that have a check table.
When a data element/domain is assigned, a compound is predefined by the existing check table.
Compounds can only be defined while creating a dependent characteristic. You do this by specifying the independent characteristic in the detail screen.
Only single compounds are permitted. Multiple compounds cannot be made.
The compound must be defined while creating a new characteristic, and before the new characteristic is saved. This is because the save process generates the check table for the characteristic.
Note: You do not use characteristic compounds to create regular assignments between two fields (such as, consolidation unit A having the local currency USD). Rather, a compound characteristic describes the structural dependency of one field on another (as in FS item 1111 in cons chart of accounts 01 being a different item than FS item 1111 in cons chart of accounts 02).
4. Specify further properties of the characteristic:
Define the display options and the sequence number of the characteristic for reports and so forth.
Activate the Subassignment indicator for all characteristics used as subassignments for FS items.
Activate the Fixed value in breakdown category indicator for all subassignments whose value is determined by the breakdown category (e.g., as with the characteristic subitem category).
Activate the Default value indicator if applicable. Then the characteristic appears in the implementation step Define Default Values. A default value is not necessary and cannot be set if you activate the Fixed value in breakdown category indicator
5. Enhance the checking specifications if needed:
For characteristics without a standard check table, you can enter a text table, a text field, and a long text field. The text fields must use the field type character. You can also specify a view name, usually a view of the check table and text table.
If the system fails to automatically determine the transaction codes for displaying and changing the master data, you can specify them manually.
6. To the characteristic consolidation unit assign any newly created characteristics as an attribute. Only independent characteristics can be assigned as attributes to consolidation units.
These attributes are used for sorting your consolidation units.
Note: Prerequisite for assigning attributes is the reorganization of the field catalog, that is, you need to have copied the field catalog into the customer field catalog. To do this, choose Extras -> Field catalog -> Reorganize.
7. Save and activate the new characteristic.
The Save process stores the new data and, if applicable, creates new tables and views in the ABAP Dictionary.
The Activation process sets the status of the tables, views, data elements, etc. to "active". It also generates the objects that are necessary to enable the consolidation functions to process the new characteristics.
You can activate several characteristics in one step by choosing characteristic maintenance of all characteristics in the initial screen, selecting and activating the inactive characteristics.
8. After activating the characteristic, you are asked whether to generate the view modules. Confirm the generation.
If you exit Characteristic Maintenance and want to ensure that all view modules were generated correctly, choose Environment -> View maintenance modules -> Reorganize.
9. Assign the new characteristics to field groups, if applicable.
Field groups are groupings of characteristics. These let you structure the fields in the field catalog. Individual fields may belong to multiple field groups.
Further notes
Choose Extras -> Log display to display the logs for the activities Save, Activate and Delete.

MDG-F 7.0 GL, cost center, profit center change history in ECC

I am working in an MDG-F 7.0 workshop and am primarily working on cost center, profit center and GL account.
I have come to realize that all field attribute changes made to cost center and profit center that are initiated from MDG-F won't be updated in ECC change history tables therefore i loose the ability to look up the change history in ECC but in MDG-F.
However ECC history table is udpated for GL account attribute changes initated from MDG-F.
Do everyone have the same understanding as I do? Please let me know if you see something else.
Thanks,
