Profit Center issue when executing GR55
Hi Experts,
I was reported by the business users that they see transactions with the Dummy Profit Centers when they run report for Balance Sheet and P&L Statements. They dont want to see any Dummy Profit Center Report Transactions in their financial statementsin both BSand P&LStatements.
For example a number of Documents posted against same G/L account and few of them have dummy profit centers, users doesn't want to see them.
I already checked in tables BSAD,BSID, BSIS,BSAD, BKPF,BSEG
TCodes: FAGL3KEH (No default profit centers allocated to anyone of the company codes), FBL3N, FBL5N, VF03
So we know that there is issue but I need to know the process to find it.
Can anyone help me out the procedure to find out the issue. This is very high priority issue.
Thanks,
Andy Roger
Refer to the IMG Activity Documentation for the following IMG Node.
Financial Accounting (New) -> General Ledger Accounting (New) -> Master Data -> Profit Center -> Create Dummy Profit Center
Here is the documentation:
Create Dummy Profit Center
This function lets you create the dummy profit center for the current controlling area.
The dummy profit center is updated in data transfers whenever the object to which the data was originally posted (cost center, order, and so on) is not assigned to a profit center. This ensures that the data in Profit Center Accounting is complete. You can later send the data on the dummy profit center to the other profit centers using assessment or distribution.
You create the master record for the dummy profit center using this special transaction. To change or display it, use the normal profit center maintenance functions.
The name of the dummy profit center is displayed in the controlling area settings for Profit Center Accounting.
Prerequisites
The standard hierarchy must exist for the current controlling area.
Actions
Enter the name of the dummy profit center. The rest of the steps are the same as when you create a normal profit center.
Choose the function Extras -> Set controlling area first to make sure that the correct controlling area is set.
I am guessing this is where your dummy profit center postings are coming from (a cost center / order or some other account assignment object that is not assigned to a profit center). It should be mandatory (in your month-end close) to run reports on dummy profit center(s) and move balances, if any, to the real profit center, before you pull financial statements.

Hello Gurus,
If New GL is activated, do we still need to attach Profit Center to Controlling Area? Some one checked the Profit Center Accounting in the Controlling Area and we did uncheck that profit center accounting indicator on Controlling Config as the New GL is activated. What are the implications of checking and unchecking the indicator for profit center accounting when new GL is in the implementing state? I appreciate your inputs.
Thanks

Hi
one of our billing documnet has got cash pricing procedure assigned to it. Accordingly, when a billing document is created, certain G/L is getting debited instead of customer account. We are also crediting same G/L account thru VKOA settings. e.g.
Debit G/L 300000 $100
Credit G/L 300000 $100
G/L 300000 is created as a revenue cost element in CO.
Now the issue is,
Does revenue cost element requires assignment to CO object ? DO we need to give cost center in default settings ? If not then, I am getting error - G/L 300000 requires assignment in CO
If I give cost center in OKB9, only the first line item is getting cost center thereby not matching in Cost center accounting. How to get cost center in second line item. IN this case, profit center for these tw line items will also be different. First line item will get from default of the cost center in OKB9 and the second one gets from sales order.
If no cost center is required, then also, first line item does not get profit center assigned to it. On the other hand , second line item gets the same from sales order.
Can anyone help me in this regard ? Either both line items should get same cost center ? PC or if no cost center at all, then, same profit center in both line items
Regards
RajHi
It dosen't help.
My question is if the same G/L is getting profit center in the second line item, then why cant in the first line item also ?
First line item is determined by cash pricing procedure. Second line item is determined by condition type in regular pricing procedure. SAme G/L is deterimined in both of these line items.
If I maintain defauld cost center for this G/L in OKB9, first line item takes that wih default profit center of that cost center. However second line item does notget any cost center but gets profit center from sales order
What I want is either it should take cost center as first line item or both line items shiould take profict center from sales order

wht happened , we have made MIS Report Thru Report Painter KE80, we have map based on Primary Cost Element, at the time of Business Transaction, we have capture the Finance Cost center i.e FI000, Marketing Cost center i.e MK000 , HR Cost Center i,e HR000 and assign the same cost center FI000 to Profit Center i.e FI000 also same name, respectively. in MIS report there is two Head i.e Sustaining Cost and Development Cost ,where we have to capture only Cost center for Sustaining Cost related to display i.e FI000, MK000 and HR000. KE80 report belongs to Profit Center wise you can see the Report. But same FI000, MK000 and HR000 also updated related with business transaction and capture above cost center like in depreciation GL Amount 1000 cost center FI000 and sustaining cost also updated the same amount 1000 because we have assign FI000, i.e wrong . last 3 months post the amount now wht should I do for not updated sustaining cost, as I understand , should be delete sustaining Cost as well Development, and later on we can take report from KSB1 for FI000, MK000 and HR000, for management purpose, so if I cannot assign profit center FI000 to Cost Center .kindly correct me whether ryt or wrong.

NarenHi ,
Why are you using 9KE0 transaction when you are working with New GL ? It is a transaction pertaining to Classic PCA and you are no longer supposed to use that transaction. If you want to carry out any rectification entry then you may use transaction F-02 to do that.

FI: Business Area and profit center Issues
Hi Sap Gurus
Could you please help me with the following error
We have business areas defined as 1001 so on to 1006 and we have defaulted the profit center and business areas in the cost center master data and when I am booking expenses pertaining to two different business areas cost center for ex:-
001 31 1001 0000200055 A & A Holdings 14.000,00-
002 40 1001 0076003000 PlacemtRecruit Chrg 10.000,00
003 40 1002 0076003000 PlacemtRecruit Chrg 4.000,00
The system is throwing up the following error
Balancing field "Profit Center" in line item 001 not filled
Message no. GLT2201
Diagnosis
The field Profit Center marked as balancing is not filled with any value in line item 001, even after document splitting.
System Response
The document cannot be posted.
Procedure
First check your entries.
Additional causes could be:
u2022 No value can be derived for this field from the current document data.
u2022 You have entered a document type that is not designed for this business purpose.
Can someone provide a solution please as this is go live critical for us now
Thanks in advance
PSNGHi,
Actually, we have all three scenarios, profit center, segment and business area..
As suggested, we have checked all field status relevant.. profit center is optional in all cases..
Now, Pls consider the scenario without business area in document splitting characteristics..
If I post an expense, profit center is picked thru cost center and segment thru profit ctr. The vendor or bank line item inherits the characteristic values from the previous line item.
Now, in addition we have business areas in doc splitting characteristics.
Business area, again is populated thru cost centers, along with profit ctr and segment.
The business area gets correctly populated in the vendor line item.. but the profit center doesnt.
Please let us know the reason..

In OKKP T code what is the impact, if we select Profit center option.
Generally we have selected Projects and Cost objects. But are in CRM Implementation process, in that scenario below error we are getting.
Account-based PCA not active in year 2011 in controlling area XXXX (Notification I KM 029).
Error occurred during determination of profit center (Notification E IAOM 039)
Error occurred during creation of internal order (Notification E IAOM 018)
If we select Profit center options in OKKP issue will be resolved because we did same in sandbox. But any major impacts, please let me know.
Note: We have implemented New GL.No In oke5 we dont have 2011 fiscal year .
Please suggest any impacts if we select in OKKP.
This problem in ECC 5.0 ( New gl is there)
But we have ecc 6.0 Also. There in okkp we have selected Profit center.

Balancing Profit center Issue ?
Dear All
Experts.
I am facing one problem Balancing profit center in line 002u201D is not filled error. I untick the PRCTR option on my Test client.
The probem is regarding Document Splitting. I changed the status of profit center and posted document , the document got
posted. But while saving the system pop up some messages amongs those one is as follows :-
Making subsequent changes to characteristics can lead to inconsistencies.
How ever I saved it because it is my test client. Proceeding further If i change the same on my production Client
How harmful it is if I go with it ?
Experts comments are welcome and will find usefull to other consultant also.
Regards,
Pankaj.This error generally comes when system tries to split the line items based on your config. Suppose you have activated the document split at Profit center level in your system then this error means that system is not able to derive the profit center from the corresponding line item. I am not sure about your entry but to clarify it further just take an example:
GL PROFIT CENTER AMOUNT DR./CR.
001P&L A101 100 DR.
002 P&L A102 100 DR.
003 BS 200 CR.
In case you want to post above entry in your system and you have activated document split at PRCTR then system will try to split your B/S line into 2 line items based on the ratio of expense lines. After splitting your entry should look like this:
GL PROFIT CENTER AMOUNT DR./CR.
001P&L A101 100 DR.
002 P&L A102 100 DR.
003 BS A101 100 CR.
003 BS A102 100 CR.
You are getting this error in your system because system is not getting correct configuration to split the balance sheet line items at profit center level so the line item where system is not able to derive the PRCTR system gives this message so that you can correct your config.
To check where your config error is. Try to simulate your entry in Journal ledger view and click on expert mode tab. Now open your entry so that you can see where system is not able to derive the profit center. You need to check the base item category and the item categories to be edited. Then go to the transaction variant in your config to check why system is not deriving. Hope this helps -
Dear Sap gurus,
while i am posting odocument i am giving cost center and profit center is (1011 is pc) but system takes default profit center like dummy profit center.
Regards
NaiduHi,
a) When you are entering the cost centre in a line item the profit centre assigned to cost centre would be defaulted.
Please check the profit centre in the Cost centre master data.
b) Check 3KEI for any derivation rule maintained.
c) check substitution rule if any being used through GGB4

Dummy Profit center issue while posting the transaction in FB60
Dear SAP friends,
We have implemented ECC6.0 version,
I have the below issue:
I am posting the document in FB60 transaction: after simulating the document system is throwing the error "Profit center 9937/FIREPRODMY does not exist for 14.08.2009"
Message no. KM700
Document spilitting active at Business area level..
In 0KE5( maintain controlling area settings) I have not given the Dummy profit center.
Eventhough it is asking for Dummy profit center while posting, Please let me know apart from the 0Ke5 settings do i need to remove the dummy profit center anywhere in the Config.
I have not maintained any settings in FAGL3KEH, 3KEH and OKB9.
No sunstitutions are active in the system.
Please let me know from where i need to remove the dummy profit center.
My client going live on 17th Aug 2009.
Regards,
AnandHi,
Check the validity period of the Profit Center 9937/FIREPRODMY. The valid from period should have the date same or earlier than 14.08.2009
If not then change the profit center master data to be valid from an earlier date (Tcode KE52). Steps-
KE52 - Profit Center FIREPRODMY
Click Change Validity Period (Ctrl +F1)
Valid from - put a date earlier or equal to 14.08.2009
Click Activate (Shift + F1)

No profit center posting when posting to GL (only cost center documents)
Hi, to all
When we are creating any financial document for any student and we input the Cost center, the system brings an error which says that the cost center we are trying to use is blocked for actual revenue. I had to access the master data of the cost center and disable the check of Actual revenues, to allow the posting in FICA to be done. I though that was enough. But after transferring the reconciliation key which contains the document I can not see any affectations in any profit center.
We copied the CO Rule: CMAC_ACC_DERIVE_ORG and created a Zfunction to derive the cost center and profit center according to registration data.
If I review the FICA document it contains the correct information for the Profit center document. But no Profit center documents are being created.
I have checked the FICA integration and I can not find an item in which I can "turn on" the profit center accounting for FICA.
Thank you very much
Sergio ArtiñanoHi Sergio,
Do you have PCA completely configured and active? Once G/L postings are configured to go to PCA, the integration from FI-CA should post to PCA without any additional configuration. Please let me know if PCA is fully configured and receiving postings directly from FI-GL.
Thanks,

Dummy profit center determined when performing MIGO (after MB21)
Dear experts,
I have the following problem in SAP release 4.7:
Step 1) Perform MB21 (ok, no problem)
Step 2) Perform goods issue (MIGO): Sometimes it determines profit center from the material correctly while sometimes it determines dummy profit center!
The correct one is the profit center of the material master but no dummy. The account has a check in Profit. Segment in OKB9 setting.I have checked that dummy profit center is determined because the characteristic "plant" is not copied to COPA for derivation. Is it a system bug? Can anyone help?
Thanks!Hi,
Good morning and greetings,
Maintain a substitution rule in the system through GGB1 / OBBH to ensure that the right profit centre is determined during the transaction.
By maintaining the substitution the system will automatically determine.
Please reward points if found useful
Thanking you
With kindest regards

Material Extension Profit Center issue
Another Issue:
u2022 While extending material from plant to depot(depot is also a plant)
u2022 Error message is u201CDO want to change the profit center, but in material stock still existsu201D
u2022 Plant (phillaur) and Depot(ahmadabad),Phillaur having one profit center,ahamdabad is having another profit center.
u2022 Here it should allow the material(plant-phillaur) to extend (depot-ahmadabad).
Please give me ur valuable inputsHi
Whenever you are extending a material to new plant, then you can use same profit center or different profit center. If there is no stock then you can change profit center. But in your case it is coming for new plant - material combination which should not come. However you can change it if there is no stock.
Thanks
