Profit Center picking wrongly during billling

Hi SAP Experts,
We have one issue where wrong profit center is getting picked during the time of billing.
The SD flow is Customer Contract>Exchange customer order>Purchase Order>Billing Invoice> Accounting Doc.
Till Purchase Order the profit center is 100000 which is correct and is entered in customer contract & in material master data also. but in billing the profit center is changing to 400000.
When i futher analyse this issue, i found out that the line item in the accounting doc for profit center 400000 is coming from COPA assignment. In OKB9 also Proft Seg is ticket for that Cost Element which is having profit center as 400000
So is how to check where is this profit center 400000 assinged in value fields or some where else in COPA.
Pls advice.

Hi Gabriel
I asked you when is the COPA doc generated? Is it generated out of SD Invoice (VF01) or is it generated out of MM Invoice?
I would like to know your scenario in as many steps as you can describe...
If the COPA doc is generated out of SD Invoice - Then record type of the document is F.. Usually, this picks up the PRCTR correctly from the originating document and there is no means of specifying a default profit center in this case...
If the COPA doc is generated from MM, it will have record type B and this record type can take the default PRCTR from OKB9

Accounting Doc Profit Center picked is wrongly

Hi guys
I have a Task of updatingg the correct Profit Center in an Accounting Document (For which the Profit Center is wrongly taken while posting)
The issue is Stock has been transferred from one Plant to another Plant. A Material Doc gets generated and also an Accounting Document gets generated.
In the Accounting Doc Profit Center picked is wrongly, so now the Profit Center has to be rectified with the correct one without changing or reversing or deleting the accounting doc.
There is a Transaction in Controlling through which we can change it Please let me know on priority. If any clarification revert back so that I can clarify.

Dear Babu,
While creating PO you can select Cost center and also you need to maintain KS01 cost center and profit center 1:1 ratioo so that based on cost center your profit center will be modified accordingly.
I hope the answer may be useful.

Problems during GL posting in profit center

Hi experts
Here I m facing a problem while doing revenue posting thru F-02,(I created a primary cost element with 11 ) when I entering profit center in field during document entries,a massege comming that"Enter a true account assignment object with revenues"
Message no. KI166
Diagnosis
You made an account assignment for 30001, a revenue element, in controlling area B001 to a cost center or profit center.
System Response
Cost centers and profit centers can carry revenues in the R/3 System as statistics only. To ensure reconciliation between FI and CO for revenue element 30001, a CO account assignment object must record the revenues as a real value. This object type is used for updating to the reconciliation ledger.
In principle, it's possible for the R/3 System to automatically derive this CO account assignment object, the reconciliation object. However, all postings made in CO for costing-based Profitability Analysis are logged in the reconciliation ledger under "reconciliation object". In this manner, the reconcilation ledger identifies the exact values flowing into the operating profit. If you post reconciliation objects during revenue postings to cost centers or profit centers, you must do so while keeping the interpretation of the reconciliation ledger reports in mind. The sums of revenue postings to profitability segments, cost centers, and profit centers cannot be broken down further.
Kindly help
Thanks

Hi,
On a cost center you have costs! In the cost center is possible to block Actual revenues (KS02)
When you post revenue on a cost center you have to see it as negative costs and use cost element type 01.
11 you are using for CO-PA and FLEX (RE)

Wrong Profit Center

Hi,
In Material Master, the Profit Center was wrongly put.
The MIGO & MIRO for the same Material is also done.
In MM02, I am able to change the Profit Center.
What all changes need to be done for the same along with chaging the Profit Center thru MM02.
Regards,

Hi PK
as sachin said if it is not possible to have new profit center attached to already posted accounting and material document. for that you have revese the cycle that is reverse invoice and cancel Gr and then proceed again.
as far as settings are concern as you have already changed the profit center in the MM02 without error that means config settings are ok.

But i need to post teh billing document for teh respective profit center.
Can you help some body.

See Note 386391
The CRM Server is connected to an R/3 System that can be used to map Controlling and Profit Center Accounting. This note describes how the profit center is determined in the CRM integration.
In the sales process and in service processing, the profit center is determined during the replication into the R/3 System and is stored in the translator.

Bal field "Profit Center" in line item 001 not filled at the time of F-53

We are in ECC6
I have posted a vendor document. The entry is shown as under.
     GL                           CC     PC     Segment
Dr     Expense GL-1     RV01     RGV1     Hyderabad
Dr     Expense GL-2     RV02     RGV2     Mumbai
Cr     Vednor a/c
but when i am posting a payment document (Dr Bank GL and Cr vendor a/c) to this vendor I am getting the following error.
Balancing field "Profit Center" in line item 001 not filled.
I have check ed the configuration setting in this regard. Zero balance, mandatory fields for profit center and segement check box is enabled. And also the inheratence check box is also enabled.
Pls suggest soulution soon for the above problem.

Hi,
Try to default the profit center in FAGL3KEH for the Bank account and try posting.
In SAP, the vendors and customers cannot be assigned to any profit center. They derive the profit center from the profit center picked from the GL as in the case of the expense entry that you mentioned.
Try to assign a default profit center and check.

Cost center line items by profit center

Hi,
We have an issue, where user has processed a document in FI with profit center "X" however the cost center of the document has profit center "Y" in the master data.
In FI, accounting document showed against the profit center "X" with which user has processed.
In CO document profit center was coming with "Y whcih is in cost center master data.
There is a variance between FI and CO for profit centers.
However profit center account is not completly configured, it is configured minimally. So GLPCA, GLPCT do not fetch data for the given profit centers, I do not have profit center appearing in CO line item reports. We are using ECC 6.0 version.
Please help me to reconcile the difference.
Regards,
Ramesh.

Hi,
I think your case for SAP is not normal process. Normally, if user assign separate profit center which is different to profit center in the Cost Object, lets say the cost center, during the posting the system will issue message that the profit center is changed the profit center assigned in the Cost object. System would not accept two different profit center on one posting process.
For example:
Posting material using assigment cost center X that contain profit center 1000, then also assign own profit center 1402.
During posting, the system will issue message " the profit center is changed to 1000". This is what happen when there is discrepancy in profit center during posting.
So, by having one profit center in a document, the data that flow from FI will follow the assignment in the Cost Object.
For this problem, I think you need to raise this issue to OSS.

Error in profit center determination for settled vendor down payments

Hello All,
When we try to settle vendor down payments an error is detected for the profit center determination .
The settled down payment is found on the dummy profit center instead of the profit center of the original invoice. This means that the reporting of oustanding payables per profit center is wrong
When you only see the invoice and not the settled down payment which should reduce you outstanding debt (down payment already paid).
Can any one help in this matter
Regards
Arun

Hi,
Check the document splitting configuration. Advances to vendors recon.. account should be assigned as category 'Vendor 'special gl transaction''.
Check the document type 'KA' transaction as '0300'... or unspecified posting.
Thanks,

Profit center related question

hello,
do we need to make profit center requried in feild status for recon acc feild status grp, i am wondering if the recon acc gets auto upated from the offsetting acc coz we never usually pso directly to recon acc.
i am basicaly trying to set up field statuses for all grps and we are not goin to use business area functinlaity so we want to capture all rev and exp on profit center to do b/s and p/l reporting and we are usign ecc 6
kindly advise
thanks.

Profit Center is required to be updated directly, in case of the A& L accounts and revenue accounts.
In case of expenditure accounts, Profit center pick from the Cost center. so no OKB9 settings is relevant in this case.
In case of the A&L (assets and liabilites) accounts , you need to derive the profit center, in this case you need to define the derivation rule, use TCODE: 3KEI .
Based on the derivation rule defined , system posts the amounts to relevant profit center.
you asked about recon. account, recon a/c is nothing but Balance sheet account...so use the 3KEI

Profit center accounting   activation for 3KEH to work

Hi
I have   document splitting activated, where I have sent the constant as PC - Dummy.
Now in 3KEH - GL acct    interval    for PC , I have defined B/s account   and also defined different PC for the same.
But when I   have transaction   using the GL in 3KEH, it takes   the    DUMMY PC and not the one defined in 3KEH.
So I    unticked the standard assignment in Document spliting and in which case , there is NO profit center picked.
Pl advise whether   I have to activate PC Accounting in controlling, so that   3KEH works.
Thanks
kamala

HI
Even though I activate PCA, the system   uses the setting defined in   'activate docu splitting' ie the constant.
There must be   some logic   on when the     assignment of GL acct    to PC based on derivation rule    in 3KEH will   apply. Does it apply only to FI transactions, or   even to the FI docu generated from other modules.    From the testing in F-02 or FB60,   I do not see    the 3KEH setting being used.   System   reads   the   one in   'activate docu splitting'.
Thanks   for any input on the above.

Internal-Profit Center Accounts Receivables/Payables

Dear All,
Within a single Company Code, Profit Center 1 is assigned to Plant 1 while Profit Center 2 is assigned to Plant 2. To track inter-divisional revenues and costs between Profit Center 1 & 2 during stock transfer, Transfer Pricing will be activated using Profit Center Valuation in Profit Center Accounting.
Only Legal Valaution is turned on in FI. No Profit Center Valuation will be turned in FI.
We understand that Inter-divisional Accounts Receivables/Payables can be generated for Profit Centers if these Profit Centers belong to 2 different company codes.
Thus we would like to clarify if Inter-divisional Accounts Receivables/Payables can be generated in the scenario within a Company Code where Profit Center is assigned to Plant 1 while Profit Center 2 is assigned to Plant 2?
Prompt respose is appreciated!
Million Thanks in Advance!

Dear Suraj,
I realiee appreciate your prompt response.
I have been reading SAP HELP and forums. The internal-divisional AR/AP scenario between Profit Centers are usually between 2 Plants and 2 Company Codes.
We understand that we can Define Account Determination for Internal Goods Movements for P/L Accounts in PCA for Internal Revenues, Internal Change in Stock and Delivery from Profit Center.
Would you please give us some pointers where and how internal-divisional AR/AP between Profit Centers within a Company Code can be configured in IMG?
Regards

Profit center field is mandatory

Dear friends,
How can I make profit center field is mandatory in Cost center master?

Hi,
if profit-center acounting is active I guess profit-center is a required entry in cost center master. If not use enhancement COOMKS02 to check if profit center is maintained during creation/changing of cost centers.
Best regards, Christian
