Profit Center in Journal Entry

Hi,
I have a problem add an AP Invoice.
In my invoice, I specify for each line a profit Center.
After adding this invoice, in the journal entries, the profit center does not appear, and I've to specify it manually on each JE.
I don't know why.
can anyone help me ?
Franck

You should only get the Profit Center code on any Revenue or Expense accounts in your JDT1 records. So do you get it on the expense account line for your AP Invoice? The JE for the BP will not have the profit center but you can add it manually

Blocking Updating Profit Center on Journal Entry

Dear Experts,
We would like to block all finance users from editing/updating profit centre or cost centre on journal entry, especially for all those transactions which are coming from marketing document and payment. But of course, finance user still can post journal entry transaction and select profit/cost centre.
Is there a way to achieve this requirement without customization? Please advise.
Best Regards,

Hi,
With the help of transaction Notification , you can do this.
Use Cursor in SP Transaction Notification for your purpose.
Hope Helpful!!

Need to make profit center a req entry in F-28

I have the need to make frofit center a req entry in F-28. I did OBC4 and went to the field status group for reconciliation accounts and made profit center a req entry there. I also did ob41 and made the profit center a req entry for the psting key 15-incoming payment.
But after doing all this it still doesnt show as a req entry in F-28. It allows me to post with out entering a value for the profit center.
Can anybody tell me what Im missing here.
Thanks
Ratheesh

Please keep in mind that the reconciliation accounts are not relevant for Profit center. They derive Profit center.
If your version is < ECC 5.0 then the profict center will get derived when you run the periodic process of running 1KEK.
If you are using > 4.7 EE and new GL is activated then the document split will take care of filling the profit center provided ZERO balance for profit center is checked in Document splitting characteristics. Enterign the profit center in the line item of which GL acount type A,D,K is no meaning and not relevant.
Even if you write a validation the system may stop by not posting without a profit center. If you post with profit center and expect the standrad reports to show this like FBL1N or FBL5N it will not happen.

Profit center an optional entry for Movement Type

Hi All,
I have the need to make changes on the Field Status for the Movement Type 561 to set profit center to be an optional entry.
Right now when I go to MB1C and enter the movement type and the plant, it asks for a profit center since its a req entry. I want to change that to optional. Please help.
Thanks
RFico

Hi
1. Go to SE38 - Program RM07CUFA
2. Enter Movement Type 561 - GL Account as your stock account
3. Execute
4. It will show you 2 columns - Field Status as per MM and FI
5. Make Profit center as optional there for MM...
6. Pr Ctr as optional for FI can be made from OBC4

Profit center -- segment as entry ifield in customer posting

Hi,
we're in a New GL environment with the document splitting active.
I wonder if it is possible to have the profit center -segment field open for entry in the customer line of a posting?
I tried to make profit center and segment as 'mandatory entry' in the field status of the posting key and the customer reconciliation account but without succes.
thanks for advice,
François

Christian,
I'm using F-28 transaction. What I'm willing to do is to allocate some money I received from my client to the correct site (Segment->profit center). The thing is that the remittance advice has not yet been received so I can not yet clear my bank account against my customer.
On the other hand I'm not allowed to allocate the cash to another profit center than the one linked to the bank accounts (business rule). So I can not indicate the profit center of the site on the bank account. this is the reason why I want to set one particular profit center on the customer side/
thanks for info

Hi,
I am quite sure that there would be some validation in use. You can use in OB28 transaction, if profit center is a mandatory entry for the related transaction.
If it is not so, then just check the message number by clking on the message thrown by system and let me know the same.
Also see if some user exit is used for making profit center as mandatory entry for FI transactions.

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 updation in vendor line items

Hi,
how to update profit center field in vendor line items. it is displaying in general ledger view, but i can't find it in entry view. i maintain obbh settings also.
Regards
Sree
Moderator: Please, search before posting

Hi ,
It is standard behaviour of the system that only GL line item will have profit center and vendor line item will not have profit center .
In entry view only GL line item should have profit center and in GL view all the line item should have profit center .
If this is happening , then dont panic system is working fine .

Deferred Tax - Incorrect Profit center at the time of Transfer

Hi,
We are on ECC 6.0 ehp4. We have created the service tax codes with target service tax codes & every month end we run standard sap program S_AC0_52000644 to transfer the service tax from receivable to availed account. Following is the issue
Invoice Posted with following entry (In GL view)
SRIR A/c Dr..............                                          Profit center 5001
Service Tax Recevble A/c Dr...............                  Profit center 5001
R/off A/c Cr                                                         Profit center 9001
Tds A/c cr                                                           Profit center 5001
domestic vendor A/c cr                                         Profit center 5001
domestic vendor A/c cr                                         Profit center 9001
This entry was reversed with transaction code MR8M & exact reversal entry was posted. Now this reversal entry and the above original entry was cleared, after that when in the mont end I ran the service tax transfer report below is the scenario
Service Tax Receivable for Original Invoice entry got transfered correctly to profit center 5001. Service tax receivable for reversed entry also got transfere correctly but the entire amount of service tax was transfered to profit center 9001 instead of 5001, can any one advise on system behaviour. Now in this my issue is, for reversal entery, the service tax got credited to profit center 5001, but when it got transfered system credited to profit cetner 9001.
Please advise

Profit Center Derivation in AuC Line Item

Hi Team,
We have Investment Profile configured, where in AuC gets automatically created in background with WBS Release.
Step 1: While settlement from WBS to AuC, Profit Center remains blank under Entry View for AuC Line (GL View = Inheritance from the Exp Line)
Step 2: Settlement from AuC to FA, Profit Center remains blank under Entry view for AuC Line (GL View = Inherits from the FA Line)
Mismatch occurs in the Step 2.
Ex.:
CJ03 - WBS - AAAA - Profit Center = 1001
Settlement - WBS to AuC - CJ88
Entry View:
CWIP A/c. Dr.                    1000 - WBS ELement - Blank - PC - Blank
to Exp. A/c. dr.                  1000 - WBS Element - AAAA - PC - 1001
GL View:
CWIP A/c. Dr.                    1000 - WBS ELement - AAAA - PC - 1001 (Inherited)
to Exp. A/c. dr.                  1000 - WBS Element - AAAA - PC - 1001
FINAL SETTLEMENT - CJ88
AS03 - ASSET MASTER DATA - PC = 1002
Fixed Asset A/c. Dr.          1000 - PC - 1002
CWIP Asset A/c. Cr.          1000 - PC - Blank
GL View
Fixed Asset A/c. Dr.          1000 - PC - 1002
CWIP Asset A/c. Cr.          1000 - PC - 1002
In above scenario Balances at PC level are not getting cleared (CWIP Balances remains under different PC).
Document Splitting is active, and the Business Variant assigned to the Doc. Type is 0000 - 0001 (Unspecified Posting)
How to determine Profit Center in Entry View during 1st settlement run from WBS to AuC?
Account Determination Object - ACSET - are active for WBS Element also.
Request to revert.
BR, Jaymin R. Bhatt

Hi Ajay,
I read the help.sap for the same and it says as below: Plus now its working fine.
Investment Orders / WBS Element under the ORIGIN tab of Asset Master Data are used for Statistical Posting (Value Type 11) and in order to populate the same in document posting (Entry View) we need to create a Statistical Cost Element (CE Type 90) which ensures that WBS gets populated under AuC Line.
I created the Cost Element for the AuC Asset Class GL Account and subsequent transactions made the Profit Center avaliable under Entry View.
It is splitting perfectly now.
The only thing we need to do is to create it GL as CE under 90 Category.
Agreed ACSET configuration is also required.
One drawback for the above is, It consumes the WBS Budget during settlement and it reverses the same after final settlement. We need to exempt the GL from avaliability control.
Again thanks for the suggestions till date. Help.SAP has many things to know.
Thanks again.

Profit Center : Reflect - Vendor, Customer, Bank/Cash Balance

Dear Experts,
Ref. : Reflect - Vendor, Customer, Bank/Cash Balance, Balance Sheet GL Accounts - Profit Center wise.
When we do postings to P&L Items, we assign a CO / Cost Object. Such Cost objects may be Orders, Cost Centers, etc., which has a Profit Center assigned to it.
Now, we wish to view Balance Profit Center wise.
My Concerns :
1. Can Vendor, Customer, Bank/Cash Balance, Balance Sheet GL Accounts - Profit Center wise. Since we do not assign CO objects to such line items, but the correspondense line items (P&L GL) has a CO object.
2. If yes, how do we move balance of such items, to Profit Center / profit Center wise.
Experts, please help me to understand the concept.
Regards,
Hussein.

Hi,
Are you in ECC activated new G/L? If yes, then you can define Profit Center as Document Splitting Characteristic for General Ledger and profit center will be in the AR/AP line item as well in ledger view (though you don't enter profit center during document entry).
You cannot give the Profit center in line item level to the Subledger accounts like vendor and customers.Vendor and customer accounts take the profit center from the offsetting entry.If want to see the profit center to the particular document, open the document go to Environment field and select Balance Sheet Adjustment option.
If you want to see the Profit center wise payables and receivables, use T.code GR55 and take report group 8A90 for Periodic Receivables and 8A91 for Payable.
If you want to see the all payables with Profit center use Table BFOK_A for vendors BFOD_A for customers.

Viswa

New GL - Field that do the balance "profit center"

Hi people,
We are doing the post by upload file.
40 - Bank account
31 - Vendor
And the system shows us: Field that do the balance "profit center" is not fulled in the item 001
The account bank is correct to have profit center, but the estrange thing is that the system is taking of the information (delete) the profit center we put.
Do you know what we can do?
Thanks,
Rosana.

Hi,
For the cost center, check whether the cost center master data is having the profit center and at entry level profit center is not hedden field.
For vendor, if you have the profit center in bank line item it should come in other line item. check whether inherittence is ticked in the below mentioned config-
Financial Accounting (New) > General Ledger Accounting (New) > Business Transactions > Document Splitting > Activate Document Splitting

Assigning profit center for vendor to vendor transfer (F-02)

Hi,
We are having two profit centers and would like to generate financial statments each profit center wise for which we must assign profit center for each entry passed.
Now we want to transfer balance from one vendor to another(which is a normal scenario in our case) with tcode F-02, but it doesn't allow us to select profit center and at the same time it gives an error that profit center not selected.
kindly guide us
Sanjay

Hi,
You have not mentioned teh Verison you are in.
Assuming you are in ECC 6.0 (As the error posted seems to be more relevant for this version) and document splitting is enabled, you cannot transfer from vendor to vendor or customer as profit centres in recon accounts are not taken by system.
So you need to take a intermediary GL account for first transferring from one vendor to GL account where you will be giving the profit center in teh gl line item and save. After that you use same GL account to transfer th amount to other Vendor account.
The system derives the proft center from GKL line item to teh AR/AP line items. Use F-44 or F-32 as the case may be.
Check document type in F-02 if you are using this as document type also controls the psoting in new GL.
Reward if useful.

Profit Center assigned to a line item by default.

Hi,
When posting an entry to Bank account the user is not giving any profit center, but in entry view you can see the profit center being assigned to that line item and displayed. From where is that Profit center getting assigned and How can that be checked in the system?

Hi,
A default profit center can be maintained in transaction 3KEH (table T8A30).
Check if the a default profit center is maintained for the Bank GL code the table.

Sameer
