Profit center field for posting key 06

Hi!
I have configured as profit centre is an optional field for GL account field status group & posting keys field status group.
But for posting key 06, system is not showing the profit centre for transaction code FB01 or F-28 or F-02 .
I checked for coding block also, but for other posting keys, system is showing profit centre, but not for this.
if i have to change coding block , how to assign coding block to transaction codes?

There can't be a profit center on sub-ledger (customer/vendor) items. Check out the following thread.
Profit Center for Vendor/Customer line item in F-02
In new GL, you specify profit center on the GL line items in entry view and then via document splitting characteristic settings, you can see the profit center on receivables/payables reconciliation account in the entry view.

Cost Center Locking for Direct Posting

Hi all,
I am getting an error reading something like this:
"cost center is locked for primary posting.".
Can any tell me how do I address issue? Is changing the cost center in the control tab of change cost center node in img guide the only way? If i do that, do I need to explicity activate it? And most importantly, which of the 6 check boxes prevents(if at all) from being directly posted.
Thanks,
Vivek
PS: Good and fast replies shall be rewarded

Hi Vivek,
Execute Transaction code KS02, input the affected cost centre to change the master data. Click on the "Control" tab and uncheck the box "Actual primary costs". Save your changes. With this amendment, you would no longer have the error message during posting.
Normally, if the check box is checked, this is what would happened.
Lock Indicator for Actual Primary Postings
Indicator defining whether a cost center is locked for posting with direct costs.
If the indicator is checked/active, no primary costs can be posted to the cost center. You may, however, still use the cost center for evaluations such as summarization, etc.
I hope the above helps.
Do not forget to award the points please.

Jacob

Profit Center cannot be posted to in new financial year

I am unable to post an invoice or any document to a particular Profit Center- the error msg says "Profit Center cannot be posted to in new financial year"
I am able to post to other PCs in the same co code.
The validity in that PC master is till year 9999 and it is activated for that co code.
Any suggestions?

Pl check PC master Indicator tab if wrongly it is locked.

Profit center lock indicator has no effect

Hi all,
I have following situation:
A cost center X is assigned to a Profit center Y. Profit centre Y has status "Inactive:change" and is valid from 01-01-2002 to 31-12-2008. Also, the lock indicator has been set and the assignment to company code 0011 has been de-activated.
Cost centre X is valid from 01-01-2008 to 31-12-9999.
I would expect that:
1) It would not have been possible to assign profit center Y to cost center X due to the limited validity date of profit center Y
2) Posting to cost center X (and profit center Y) would lead to an error message for documents with a posting date in 2009
However, SAP allows me to assign profit center Y and make postings in 2009 without a problem. The help texts and several notes I found all suggest my expected system behaviour. So am I doing anything wrong or how can I prevent assignment of profit center Y and postings being made to it in 2009?
Thanks in advance!

Hello,
If you have created a profit center in inactivate status, they system cannot read the details of the same and you are not able to assign the same to a Cost Center.
If the lock indicator is being set in profit center, you cannot use the cost center to which the locked profit center is being assigned. It will stop you at the time of posting the FI journal.
If you have removed the check box for a company code in profit center, it will stop you from being posted to the cost center to which the profit center, where the tick for company code has been removed.
Only profit centers which are in active state can be assigned to a cost center.
If you have locked a profit center and trying to assign the same to a cost center, the system throws the warning message at the time of assignment. But, however, you can further proceed with that.
If the validity period of the profit center is 01.01.2008 to 31.12.2008 and assigned to a cost center, in turn you are using that cost center as an real assignment object, it will stop from being posted the document, stating that the profit center is not valid for that period.
Please let me know if you have any further concerns.
Thanks,
Ravi

Profit Center determination for Stock G/L accounts

Hello,
The scenario is as follows:
A single G/L account is defined in our system for Finished Goods. FI documents resulting from material movements are posted to this account in PCA, i.e. table GLPCA shows material document numbers in the reference document field along with the corresponding movement types for this account.
There are a large number of materials with Profit Center 10000 (Industry General) defined in the material master record. All postings to the G/L in question are currently being made against the Profit Center defined in material master. There are also two other Profit Centers defined in the system; 10001 (Industry Motors) and 10002 (Industry Others). The business requirement is that all materials are common to both segments, but the Profit Center should be determined from the sale, i.e. if a material is sold to an Industry Motors customer the Profit Center should be 10001, otherwise it should be 10002.
For the revenue G/L account which is hit at the time of posting of the invoice, a substitution has been configured that determines the appropriate Profit Center from the division specified in the invoice; there are two divisions for Motors and Others respectively. For the stock G/L however, all postings are made to Profit Center 10000 as defined in the material master record.
Since the stock G/L will show postings from all goods movements, including GR, initial entry, GI for delivery, etc., and all materials are common, it is clearly not possible to completely segregate all postings to 10001 and 10002. For example, GR will always be posted to 10000 (General) as it is not known whether this should be in 10001 or 10002 till the time of sale. However, for sales movement type (Goods Issue delivery) at least, postings shoud be made to the appropriate specific Profit Center. For the remaining postings, the business applies a calculated ratio to the acumulated balance.
For the stock G/L, is it possible to derive Profit Center for outward goods movements based on invoice? For example, 1000 USD worth of stock is posted to the G/L in PCA with movement type 101 and Profit Center 10000. 200 USD worth of stock is sold under Motors and 400 USD worth is sold under others. Entries in GLPCA should be:
G/L            Balance Profit Center     Movement Type
31000000   1000       10000              101
31000000   200         10001              601
31000000   400         10002              601
So from this it is easily possible to determine that 200 USD worth of stock has been sold under Motors, 400 USD worth under Others, and 400 USD worth of stock remains unsold.
A solution for this is required. If anyone can think of any other way to accomplish this as well, please share your suggestions. Thanks!
Regards,
Khan

to arrive the profit center at a time of Goods Movment, select the cost center for Industry Motor before to that do the settings in OKB9 for the Cost element a default Profit Center for Cost center.
Hope this helps u in resolve the issue.

Profit center change in posted accounting document

Hello,

We DTO'd open customer balance with wrong profit center. PC document has been created as well. Please, what is the proper way to change the PC?? Or how to proceed?
Thanks a lot

It is not possible to change profit center, for that matter any other CO assignment cannot be changed. You can try transfering to correct profit center through 9ke0

Profit center line for free of charge items

Hi all
Is it possible to force SAP to write the create a profit center items for free of charge items of SD invoice (positions TANN), of course with zero value but with the quantity data?
Thanks.
Davide

Hi,
in NewGL I am sure that its not possible as there is no accounting document created (which contains the PRCTR information as well) if the revenue is zero.
And I am pretty sure that its not possible too in old PCA (Ledger 8A).
CO-PA docs. can be created for free of charge items (otherwise the cost of these items are missing in costing-based CO-PA).

How to find the profit center group for a profit center?

How to find the profit center group for a profit center?

Hi,
try this also
In order to pass the setid parameter of the FM, you have to concatenate the following things
Setid + KOKRS (Controlling area) + Profit Center Group into one variable.
In my example below, I have declared as constants and concatenating to gv_setid.
gc_01016 is the set id for profit centers
gc_kokrs is the controlling area
gp_pprct is the Profit Center group entered in the selection screen.
You will get KOKRS value from the cepc-kokrs.
data :   gc_0106(4)   TYPE c VALUE '0106',
           gc_kokrs      LIKE cepc-kokrs VALUE 'ABCD'.
           gv_setid          LIKE sethier-setid,
           gt_set_values_1   LIKE setvalues OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE.
CONCATENATE gc_0106 gc_kokrs gp_pprct INTO gv_setid.
CONDENSE gv_setid.
CALL FUNCTION 'G_SET_TREE_IMPORT'
    EXPORTING
      client                    = sy-mandt
      fieldname                 = 'RPRCTR'
      langu                     = sy-langu
      setid                     = gv_setid
      tabname                   = 'GLPCT'
      no_table_buffering        = 'X'
    TABLES
      set_values                = gt_set_values_1
    EXCEPTIONS
      set_not_found             = 1
      illegal_field_replacement = 2
      illegal_table_replacement = 3
      OTHERS                    = 4.
By using the above FM you will get the values into gt_set_values1 once sys-subrc value eq 0, it is internal table which consists of all the profit centers for the proft center group.

Hierarchy authorization: profit center, 0account for 0PCA_C01 data.

Hello my SAP Net friends,
I have built the authorizations/roles using profit center hierarchy for PCA data based the paper in BWExpert(Avoid these common pitfalls in using reporting authorizations with and without hierachies), it works fine.
Both 0profit_ctr and 0account are in the 0PCA_C01 cube, they both have hierarchies.
Now users also want to use the 0account hierarchy to limit PCA data access beside using the profit center. Have any of you had experience to use both profit center and 0account hierarchies for authorization? Could it works? Any limitation or issues?
I have created authorization object using the profit center, if I create another authorization object using 0account. Could these two authorization objects works together?
I will assign points to any helpful responses.
Thanks!
JXA

Hello Jun,
0profit_ctr and 0account are two different characteristics, so authorization to those two are independent of each other.
I.e., you can set authorization two both characteristics by means of both hierarchies.

Profir Center Update for Vendor Line Item

Hi,
While entering an inter company document, cost center is required field for the expense line item. The system is picking up the profit center based on the cost center. However, while saving the document I am getting a error message that you can not post to profit center XX in company code 2. The profit center is only assigned to company code 1 (KE52) and it is not to be assigned to company code 2. Ideally the vendor line item should be assigned to dummy profit center maintained in config but system is picking the profit center assigned to expense line item. The following entery is being passed and the document type is AB. Document Splitting is active.
Expenses A/c. Dr - company code 1 - PC - XX
To Vendor            - company code 2
can anyone help me with the same?

Hi,
Validations are in 3 steps (Mostly Inter-company transaction fetch this validation in sequence)
1) Derivation Rule
2) Default
3) Dummy
Option 1:
T-code: 3KEI
setup default profit centre by company code and GL Account
if above does not resolve your issue then also setup option 2
Option 2:
Create substitution rule on document completion level
If G/L account is (B/S) XXXXXX u2013 XXXXXX and company code is 2
   then PC = 2
End if
try first in test system

Profit Center Error in posting

Hi All,
My clinet getting an error that while posting the transfer entry for Customer to Customer or Vendor to Vendor (Posting keys: 04 & 34) we were getting error that Balancing field "Profit Center" in line item 001 not filled
Regards,
P.N

this is to do with document splitting and you need to review the way you have set this up.
Check the GL account you are using the document type and all of the rules associated to them
Do you actually want to split by PC? If not make the change in the config so it is not required.
Finally if you are making a BS to BS posting, you will need to have a default PC. If you are using the document to clear other Customer or Vendor postings it should be able to derive the PC.
