Profit center posting.

Hi Guys,
Are the profit center postings real or statistical postings?
The profit center derives the amount from the cost center.
Where can we see the statistical postings or real postings on profit centers?
Thanks
Srik.

I agree that profit center postings are extremely useful in reporting and decision making but the term "statistical posting" has a different meaning in the context of account assignment in Controlling. Here's an excerpt from SAP help ([http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60_sp/helpdata/en/eb/1370e343c411d1896f0000e8322d00/content.htm]):
Profit Center Accounting is a statistical accounting component ... The postings in PROFIT CENTER ACCOUNTING are statistical postings, since the profit center is not itself an account assignment object in Controlling.
Here's another ([http://help.sap.com/saphelp_40b/helpdata/en/08/5142b643b511d182b30000e829fbfe/content.htm]):
In Controlling, you can post only to profit centers in addition to real Controlling objects. Costs and revenues thus post to profit centers statistically only. Profit centers are based on real Controlling objects.
I thought that the intent of the original question was quite clear. Please do let me know if I am incorrect.
Thanks,

Wrong profit center posted for a customer invoice

Dear All
I have posted customer invoice with wrong profit center, is there any way to reverse the same other than FB08 as I used the transaction 9KE0 but it doesn't support customer and vendor account.
I want to correct the same through profit center only.( i.e. reducing the balance of wrong profit center and
increasing the balance of correct profit center )
Thanks in advance.
Viru.

Hello,
Even if you posted a customer invoice only Control Account totals will be moved to PCA.
Hence, see the control account for the customer masteer assigned and adjust the account accordingly by posting the entry through 9KE0.

Wrong Profit Center Posting during J1IEX

Dear Sir,
While posting the Excise invoice through J1IEX the accounting document generated captures different Profit Center. However it should capture the profit center from Material Master. The material master Profit Center is not getting updated.
Kindly suggest.

Saurabh

Hi,
Since they know the month they can use the reports S_AC0_52000888 for vendors and report S_AC0_52000887 for customers and they can give the input as wrong profit center and from period and to period and find out the document number and based upon that reversal can be passed.

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 Artiñano

Hi 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,
Tami

Dummy profit center posting

We have postings coming up in dummy profit center each month,and we need to remove it, one fix could be to reverse those entries and repost it with assignment of a profit center, but I heard there is some tool available where you can just transfer the balance in one profit center to another, Is it available in Ecc6.0 also , I guess its for classic profit center accounting. Can you suggest me something pelase.how to remove those entries into another without reversing the entries in dummy.We are on ECC6.0 Thanks
Regards
Shaun

Please refer to the FAQ note 1070629.This says.
63. How can I deactivate classic Profit Center Accounting (EC-PCA) after activating the new general ledger?
Note 702854 explains how to deactivate classic Profit Center Accounting.
If you use document splitting for profit centers in ERP2004, delete the dummy profit center from the table TKA01 also. For this purpose, Note 702854 provides the program Z30PCA23. Use the program Z30PCA23 to delete the dummy profit center of classic Profit Center Accounting in the controlling area.
I am not sure if you would continue to need a dummy PC after migrating to ECC6, with classic PCA accounting de-activated.

GR IR Clearing account posting to wrong profit center

Dear All,
Here I am encountering the live problem that ,
After the some customization changes , there was an impact on GR/IR Clearing account with regards to the profit center posting
When we receive (GR) , the FI document line item is posting to the different profit Center, then the PO profit center.
Stock Account is capturing PO and meterial profit Center, when G R is posted ,
GR/IR Clearing account is capturing the different profit Center(wrong profit center)
Please advise me is there is any way to correct, the wrongly posted documents,
we are trying to stop the encountering error by modifying the customisation but the problem is how to correct the error postings.
This is urgent issue ,
Please try to help me by providing proper solution as early as possible.
Thanking you
With regards
Krishna Rao

Hi,
What has already been posted in SAP has been posted. One alternative in front of you is to create adjustment postings in PCA to post to the correct Profit Center. You can use transaction code 1KEL or 9KE0 for the same but it may not work as most probably you will the GR/IR clearing account set to "Post automatically" in the GL Master. In such a scenario the only option would be to have customized program to create IDOCs with Message Type "PRCMAS" to post the adjustment postings in your system.

Prevent documets getting posted to DUMMY profit center for

Hi All,
During posting of accounting documents (for eg: In T-code F-02), we need to prevent documents getting posted to dummy profit-centers when I post documents with cost-centers which are un-assigned to any profit center (T-Code KS02). Instead we need to bring in to the profit-center posted by the user. We have PCA activated.
We have tried to achieve with a substitution along with an user-exit (T-code: GGB1). But the user-exit is getting invoked only after the assignment of Dummy profit-center and is overwriting my profit center. Is this approach right? FYI, the substitution is done at the Financial Accounting/ Line-item level.
Kindly enlighten me with your solutions.
Thanks and Regards,
Gnanasambanthan.V

At my company, we have profit center as a required field on the cost center master - so when posting to a cost center, there is always a profit center.
However, if requiring a profit center on the cost center master is not an option in your case, then I'm wondering if it would work to set up a validation to check that the profit center on a posting is not the dummy.

Shannon

Dear Gurus,
We need to transfer amount from one profit center to another profit centers, wrongly posted how to do it?

around 5000 FI documents has post in worn profit center
In the billing with material line items showing the correct profit center.

Pls advice me for the above said issues as we are nearing the year end pls help me.
Thanks..Srirama

Hai,
You can do profit center posting 9ke0
Profit center will derive from Material in your case it seems some subtitution changing the correct profit center in material master and putting this wrong profit center
Profit center is not the deciding factor for COPA reports so there wouldn't be any impact in COPA report

Dummy profit center when using plant abroad functionality

Dear all,
We are customizing plant abroad functionality for one customer. I have done that before for other customers but all other customers do have profit center on material master data and therefore no dummy profit center posting in the plant abroad flow.
My new customer do not have any profit center on material master data and are normally using profit center substitutions to get correct profit center on the postings. In the plant abroad flow we will have the same amount posted both as a credit and a debet to the same account (we have chosen account 309999) so the total will be 0, but we do not want to have postings on dummy profit center.
I tested to create a substituion in financial accounting in transaction GGB1 and on line item level, with prerequisite saying: When account number is 309999, profit center should be 11010. But I still get posting on dumy profit center?
Anyone that can help me?
Thank you very much in advance!

Need to stop Profit center postings

Hi all,
There are some profit center posting in SAP r/3.
I dont wont to pull posting for 2 specific Profit centers , permanently How can I do in BW.
Will main in R/3 but I dont want to pull in to SAP BW.
advice me in this regards.
Thanks in advance.
Regs
Kumar

Extract & delete in the start routine.
It will get to BW but they are not updated to the cube/DSO.
Or in OLTP delete the lines from those profit centers (in the user exit of the extractor).
I prefer the first suggestion.
Are those acceptable?

hi,
GOto tcode 3KEH and assign a default profit center wihc can be other than your dummy profit center. the Purpose behind this assignment is the system would not post your documents to the dummy in the first place and secondly while posting a transaction if you happen to select the profit center as B assuming profit A is assigned as the defualt profit center in 3keh against those g/ls , the system would check and post the transaction in the profit center assigned in the transaction and in the absence of the profit center in the transaction system will check if their is a default profit center assigned in 3keh for those g/ls incase if the system detects the default profit center which is other than your dummy then the postings will be made to that profit center. remember you can have only B/S accounts assinged in 3keh.
hope dis helps
