Different profit center in Project definiton and WBS

Hi,
Our client facing a problem for closing the project due to different profit center. In Project definition the assigned on profit center and WBS they assigned another different profit center . There is not data posted or planed .
SAP won't allow me to change the Profit Center because it says the project is released.
Now they try to close the project but it showing error like different profit center in project definition and wbs.
Could you please anybody help to solve this issue?
Thanks.

From the error message It seems there is a validation using Field exit. Ask your abaper to debug. Then would be able to know the logic behind it.

Profit Center parameter in FF7A and FF7B (Cash Management & Liq. Forecast)

Dear All,
I have a requirement to add profit center parameter in FF7A and FF7B (Cash Management and Liquidity Forecast Report).
In ECC6, there are only Company Code and Business Area, but we use Profit Center instead of Business Area.
Would appreciate if you can share your experience whether it is possible to add Profit Center parameter on these reports, how to do it, or what is the workaround for it.
Thanks in advance for your kind assistance.

Profit Center Derivation in GR and Invoice documetns form MM component

Hi All,
My clien wants to set a profit center(B/S)999999 for only GR/IR clearing account (not on expense line item) on Goods receipt and invoice documents. At present it is getting derived from cost object assgined to the purchase order.
I tried using substituion(GGB1) and able to replace the profit center on GR/IR clearing account line item in Goods Receipt.
But after doing MIRO, the FI document shows the profit center assigned to the cost object in PO instead of the assigned profit center in substitution rule.
Please advise.
Thanks in advance!!!!!
Kumar

Hi
Ideally you should not use Substitution Rule for posting to a fixed profit center for MIGO and MIRO Documents. Logically this is not correct. However, if you still want to check if you have maintained profit center as a substitutable field in VWTYGB01. This has to be set to 15 for substitution at complete document level. Further you need to use a BADI to have the same populated. It woul dnot be populated with a simple Substitution rule for MM generated documents

Profit Center wise balance sheet and Profit and Loss account

Hi Experts,
I will explain my scenario
The is cleint having Head Office for handling procurement of goods for all branches(8) and the physical delivery happens for goods at the requested branch and GR and IR also makin at the branch level.
And we are treated each branch as profit center apart from HO(profit center).But the vendor payment should be happen from HO(prfoit center) so and they are not using automatic payment programme.
My question is
1.While doing the vendor (Branch)payment from Cash/Bank GL (HO) how the balances will be tallied ?
2.If I am using the document splitting and zero balance document clearing will it tally at the profit center level ?
3.At the period end if I will do the 1KEK T Code to transfer the payables to the profit center which profit center system will take for posting ?
Please advice me in this and I will give good points with correct answer.

Hi Edukondalu Garu,
Please find answers to your questions below:
1.While doing the vendor (Branch)payment from Cash/Bank GL (HO) how the balances will be tallied ?
Answer: The Profit Center balances will get automatically tallied due to document splitting and Zero balance account being defined properly. The automatically identifies it
2.If I am using the document splitting and zero balance document clearing will it tally at the profit center level ?
Answer: Yes that is the main criteria to get full fledged Balance sheet and P&L account by Profit Center
3.At the period end if I will do the 1KEK T Code to transfer the payables to the profit center which profit center system will take for posting ?
Anwer: With Document Splitting, you don't have to do the period end transaction in PC to transfer the account payables, accouts receivables and fixed assets. The transfer is online and real time basis.
I hope i answered all your questions.
Please feel free to get in touch with me if you need futher clarifications
Best Regards

Profit center data in GLPCA and GLPCT Tables

Hi ,
We are in ECC 6 but with classic GL and profit center accounting.
We have the documents posted with profit center as the assignment object. When i check the documents through document display i could see the profit center in it , but when i execute the transactions 5KEZ , 2KEE i couldnt fetch any data. Actually there is no data updated to the GLPCA and GLPCT Tables.
These accounts are Frieght clearing , benefits clearing etc...
My actual requirement is the ending balances of GL accounts by profit center subtotals/ GL Trial balance by profit center .
Thank you.

Hi
If these are balance sheet accounts, you need to run period end transactions like 1KE* to transfer the balances to EC-PCA
also, Tick the "Online Transfer" in EC-PCA config & Specify these accounts in 3KEH and then post a transaction.... It should get transferred online on real time basis

Profit Center Accounting in ECPCA and New GL

Hi Friends,
We want to use the ECPCA profit center accounting for managment reporting. Also we are using new GL therefore we also have Profit Center accounting accounting.
Can we just go with ECPCA, if yes what would be the dis-advantage of not using New GL profit center accounting.
Also can we use the both, if yes then do we need to take care of something specfic which you would like to suggest.
Thanks in Advance

Hi,
Thanks for the SNote. But now I am in a fix.
Note says that if I use the new GL and document splitting then I should not use the EC-PCA.
But my client do not want the cost center allocations to come in FI due to Regulatory constraints i.e no CO-FI reconciliation, however want to see the profitability at profit center level, as well as balance sheet at profit center level.
If I use EC-PCA for giving profitability at at profit Center level then I will not be able to use document splitting in New GL to give the balance sheet at profit center level.
And if I use New GL then I cannot give the profitability at profit center level as allocations are not there in FI.
Have anybody faced a similar issue, if yes can throw a light on the same.
Thanks & Regards,
Ankur

Profit center wise P&L and Balance Sheet for 12 segments as per AS-17

Hi Experts,
I am woking in ECC 6.0. My Client has 12 Segments. 10 Cost Centers. They want segment wise P&L and Balance Sheet. Pl advise how to map..The options are :-
1. Use segment reporting - if i define 12 segments = 12 profit centers, then the problem is one to one assignments of profit centers to cost centers as there are only 10 cost centers and profit centers will be 12.
2. Should i go with Business ?
3. Will the Profit Center approach help ? then again one to one mapping to cost centers is not possible...
Pls help...its urgent
Regards
Pyare

Hello
This is posible if you use the New GL functionality in ECC 6.0
The New GL functionality works on the totals table FAGLFLEXT instead of the GLT0 which was used in the Classic GL. The Segment field is a standard field in the table FAGLFLEXT.
For creating segement wise financial statements,
1. You have to first define the segments in the enterprise structure
2. Link the PC to the segments (you have field for segment in the PC master data)
3. The standard report (S_PL0_86000028) will generate the segment financial statements for a FSV.

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.

Can you provide details on how to enable this via Key Figure Planning.

Profit Center missing in FAGLFLEXT and FAGLFLEXA

Hi All,
I am trying to download FAGLFLEXT data via SE16, and realized that the profit center is blank, although it appeared in the document display (FAGLB03). The same thing also happen to FAGLFLEXA.
Is this a normal behavior or it is because of missing configuration?
If it's a normal behavior, can please advice which table i can use to find the profit center so that i can join the two tables together after download to excel?
Thanks,
Liam

Hi Christian and SDNer,
Thanks for the response.
Forgot to tell that FIN_PCA was not activated.
Hi SDNer,
Yes, i think now i can join FAGLFLEXT with BSEG to get the profit center.
Thanks to you both!!,

Cost Center and Profit Center in Sales Order and Deliveries.

What are the different methods of determining cost centers and Profit centers in Sales orders ?
Can Cost Center be determined independently in sales order or will be detrmined from Profit center ?

Hi Sunil
Profit Centres are used primarily in S&D (at billing stage it is transferred to FI) for registering revenue.
Billing -
Integration Points Module
Debit A/R - FI/ CO
Credit Revenue - FI/ CO
Updates G/ L - FI/ CO
(Tax, discounts, surcharges, etc.)
Return Delivery & Credit Memo -
Integration Points Module
Increases Inventory - MM
Updates G/ L - FI
Credit Memo - FI
Adjustment to A/R - FI
Reduces Revenue - FI
Profit Centers can be set-up to identify product lines, divisions, geographical regions, offices, production sites or by functions. Profit Centers are used for Internal Control purposes enabling management the ability to review areas of responsibility within their organization.
The difference between a Cost Center and a Profit Center is that the Cost Center represents individual costs incurred during a given period and Profit Centers contain the balances of costs and revenues.

Incorrect flow type and profit center missing in FAGLL03 and FBL3N

After finished a transaction CJ88 ,when we use the transaction FAGLL03 for an associated GL account, profit center goes blank in the screen. In CJ20n also the correct profit center associated with the WB element is shown but it's missing in fbl3n and fagll03. Could you please provide help?

Hi JPA,
All the details that you are asking about is attached in the screen-shots provided 'inheritance_document splitting'. I am also providing you screen shots regarding the problem for a better ease of analysis. Here 'cj20n_example' shows the profit center associated during project buildup and the screen shot 'FAGLL03_example' shows the issue due to which the profit center field for the same WBS element is shown blank.

Changes of CC (profit center) in master data and balance sheet side in PCA

HI
Organizational assignments are not managed as time-dependent in the asset master record.
We want to change the assignment to a cost center, which is in another PC.
The system then automatically run ABUM with appropriate standard transaction type as a default for the posting transaction.
Which standard transaction type is appropriate to reflect change in balance sheet side in PCA ?

The best for this is to use the transaction ABUMN - Transfer within Company Code and not to make the change with AS02

Profit Center population in the Vendor and Customer Line items

hello
our client is asking for getting profit center in the vendor and customer line items where in the view FBL5n and fbl1n we are not getting the profit center populated - in the new gl i understand that there is a standard report based on the gl account.
but our business is not satisfied with the report and expecting report at profit center level.
Can any one suggest any way of doing this.
regards,
Vijay

Dear Vijay,
Let me provide you my view of solutioning for this. This is an enahcement that needs to be done
1. You can get the profit center from the given vendor and customer line item at the time of posting, using an enahcement you will be able to capture it.
2. Existing the profit center field is not populated in the BSIK,BSAK,BSID and BSAD tables
3. Hence, in the same enhancement once you capture the profit center , you can write the code that profit center is updated in these tables also.
4. This will help you to do the vendor line item wise selection in the FBL1N, FBL5N profit center wise.
Constraints of this solution:
The only constraint remains where in the for a given document if there are multiple profit center, then the system will do the splitting profit center wise for a vendor line item, which will not populate the profit center in those tables as there is only one field available in the bsid etc.. tables.
This basically would be the one the soltuion where in as seeen from the end user ther eis no change in the front end interface , the way they are doing always they can do.
You need to also take care the % of document splitting means cross profit center postings /cross document splitting charactericstics postings and the volume involved in this. so that you can suggest this to your client.

Bharathi.

Doubts on clearing line items in profit centre and deleting the profit cent

hello All
We are using ecc 5.0 and new g/l, document splitting is activated. We are not using classic profit centre accounting.
We have two accounts which has values for profit centre 1010219.
1. 228100 which is assigned in cross company code clearing account
2. 228200 which is assigned in cross business unit ( as a part of zero balance account) in documen splitting.
now i want to clear all he entries for this profit centre and transfer them to another profit centre 1010403.
I am unable to do so as everytime I try to pass cross profit centre entry, Account 228200 gets a balacing line item( as a part of zero balance). this way my profit centre trail balance will never become zero.
can some body help me with this,,,,
1. in classic profi centre we could use t-code ke90 just to pass a document entry in PCA, this is not possible in new g/l... is there alternative.....
please help....
thanks
sanjeev

Hi,
You can try Profit Center Distribution(both sender and receiver gets original account numbers) or Assessment(Assessment cost element shall be a bring in between) to transfer values from multi profit centers to one single profit center or multi profit centers. The cycle can be run on a periodical basis.
