Profit Center Report and P&L difference

Hi Experts,
I have setup the following scenario with Profit Centers:
I created a Profit Center called 'A' and another called 'B'.
Then I created a Distribution rule 'AB' directly allocates 75% to A and 25% to B.
I added an Invoice for a line total of $100 and used this Distribution Rule. This did pull through to the Journal Entry.
My question is regarding the Profit and Loss Statement that will not pick up the Profit Center 'A' when I specify this in the Expanded button. This will however pick up the 'AB" for the total amount of $100.
I would have thought that if I ran this only for 'A', I'll see the value $75 in the P&L....
I looked at the Profit Center Report for this invoice and there I could see the $75 for the Profit Center 'A'.
Please let me know what I'm missing, or if you are not able to see seperate Profit Centers in the P&L.
Regards,
Marli

Hello Marli - are you running the Profit Center Report which shows that information???
Path of Finances > Cost Accounting > Profit Center Report...
I do not belive the profit center is on the Profit and Loss Statement (unless you set up each profit center with a specific GL Account Segment)...
Take care - Zal

Amount difference (0.01) between GL and profit center reporting

Hi,
After we run 1KEK for ARAP transfer to profit center there is amount difference (0.01) between GL and profit center reporting for customere reconciliation account. We checked F.5D and rerun 1KEK this issue still exit.
Any idea for it? Thanks.

hi Kyle,
thanks for the effort, but it wasn't the thing i asked for ...
what i would like to find out is:
if CO area settings are set w/o profit centers, why the system still demands profit center assignment with cost center master data (ie.)
well, i can always turn off the message, but this isn't the solution i want to use ...
i will rather open one PC (along with dummy, of course) even though those are not used for the customer ... although, this will not solve statistical posting to cc with cost element category 11 ...

Difference in Profit Center Document and CO-PA Document

Hi,
We are getting difference in Profit Center Document and CO-PA Document Cancelled Sales Invoice.
Sales Accounts GL:
Profit Center Document amount in Sales Accounts GL: 558095.04
CO-PA amount in Sales Accounts GL: 558095.15
In Sales Invoice, Exchange Rate is maintained as 7.75132
Invoice Amount is 72000 USD. So the Amount calculated should be 558095.04.
In Accounting Document the Amount posted as 558095.15 for the GL Sales Account.
But in Cancelled Sales Invoice, Amount posted is 558095.04 in GL Sales Account.
So Profit Center Document is picking the Amount 558095.04, but CO-PA document is picking wrong amount i.e from Sales Invoice and not from Cancelled Invoice.
Please help me to understand why Co-PA Document is fetching amount from Sales Invoice and not Cancelled Invoice.
Also why there is difference in Sales Order Invoice and Cancelled Sales Oder invoice Amount.
Regards,
Debashri Dutta

Hi
Yes you can transfer the planning data from COPA to ECPCA. You can do the configuration at
SPRO->Controlling->Profitability Analysys->Planning->Integrated Planning->Set up transfer of planning data to ECPCA/FIGL
Then you can use TCode KE1V to transfer the planning data.

Regarding Profit center Reporting

Dear All,
I am stucked up at the point where my profit center reports are not coming as i desired.My client wants the reports as per their product line for that purpose i have treated all his product lines as a profit center & group them as per the products to be produced in the same company but at different plants. For Example for 1000 co.code there area three plants & there product lines are A, B ,C & D out of the three plants A product is produced in all three plants, while B product is produced in only one plant & C & D are produce at two of the plants under same co.code.
for this scenario i have treated those product lines as my profit centers & further also group them as follows
Group A - Where ever A product is produced (in this i have taken three profit centers of A product which is produced in all the three plants
Group B -Where ever B product is produced (in this i have taken one profit center of B product which is produced in only one plant )
Group C-Where ever C product is produced (in this i have taken two profit centers of C product which is produced in all the two plants )
Group D-Where ever D product is produced (in this i have taken two profit centers of D product which is produced in all the two plants )
After doing this i assigned all of them to the Dummy Profit center & all my cost centers are also assigned to dummy profit center But now i am not getting my reports right as all the transactions are going to dummy profit center & Is it possible to transfer these transactions to individual profit center & get the Reports Correctly ? If, yes tell me the Way how to do it .
Please help me in this regard
Thanking You in Advance
Santosh Rothe

Prerequisites for Transferring Actual Data
Before you can transfer data to Profit Center Accounting, you need to assign your CO objects and your material masters to profit centers.
When you post subsequently, the posting is made to dynamically derived profit centers (from CO objects) or to the profit center set at the time of the original posting (such as materials).
You also need to create your own accounts in Profit Center Accounting in order to be able to reflect goods movements between profit centers. You do this in Customizing.
It may also be useful to assign a revenue or sales deduction account to a profit center. For more information, see the section Cash Discount Expenses/Income and Exchange Rate Differences .
In the standard system, the following posting rules apply:
· All the postings made to a cost element are transferred to Profit Center Accounting. If it does not find a profit center, the system posts the data to a dummy profit center to ensure that the profit‑relevant data is complete in Profit Center Accounting.
· If an account is a profit and loss account but not a cost element, the system transfers all the postings where the lines contain a profit center. For profit and loss accounts from logistics activities, the system determines the profit center based on the logistics objects involved, such as the production order (for work in process) or material (for price changes or inventory differences). If no profit center can be found, the system transfers the data to the dummy profit center.
· The payables and receivables from the period in question are transferred to Profit Center Accounting. Other balance sheet and profit and loss accounts can be chosen from a Customizing table. The accounts are updated to the profit center specified or to a default profit center specified in the table.

KE5Z Vs 2KEE - Profit center Reports

hi,
Could anyone explain me the difference between these two reports Profit center reports KE5Z and 2KEE.
KE5Z is line item report and 2KEE is Totals report.
I would like to know the diffrence especially with refernce to a report painter report.
I have created a report painter report based on GLPCT table, which is a totals table.
So when i match my report painter report and 2KEE - it tallies.
But my report painter report does not match with report KE5Z (of course it does not match even when i make additions and subtractions of all the line items appeared in KE5Z).
Could any one tell me why this happens.
Thanks,
DSK

Hi
KE5Z will draw data from GLPCA which is the line items table. Please check the parameters for both the reports as ideally it should match.
Check the profit centre , the period and any selections if any.
Thanks

How do we add more fields to the existing profit center reports

Hello everybody,
I need help in profit center reporting. The issue is my client is able to draw profit center reports, however they want to extend this i.e, they wish to get the reports of profitability for each product line, Debtors, Creditors, other current assets, other current liabilities, stock for each profit center. Do I follow, segment reporting as given in help.sap.com (defining report painter etc), or is there any other way to go about. And the fact is that I've not worked on report painter, in a way I can say that i've not worked much in controlling.
THIS IS VERY URGENT. INSIGHTS INTO THIS WOULD BE HIGHLY APPRECITED.

Q

The structure of the profit center report in new GL

Hello,
I must finish a query for the customer this week. This query must base on a sap standard report for the new GL.
Because our ECC 6.0 system hasn't the Enhancement Package 3 (contains the necessary new features) yet, so I can't see this standard report which should be displayed under the path:
SAP Menu --> Accounting --> Financial Accounting --> General Ledger --> Information System --> General Ledger Reports (New) --> Profit Center Reports --> S_E38_98000088 - Profit Center Group: Plan/Actual/Variance
Can somebody tell me the structure of this report, if you can see this report in your system?
- Which key figure has been used in the report?
- What are in the rows and columns?
- Which characteristics are available to navigation?
- Which variables and General data selections are there?
Hope somebody can help me. Thanks a lot!
Best regards,
Yuanyuan

Hi,
Then my suggesion is you copy the form & report structure of most suitable report (which you have downloaded through FGIQ) .Modify the form according to your reporting requirement. Create new report by coping standard report & assign this newly created form to this report.This will serve your purpose.
Please do not make any changes to standard report.Copy it & then do the changes.
Transaction code for the same is FGI0 or FGI1 or FGI2 or 3 or 4 or 5 or FGI6.
Second suggestion is in SPRO in GL information system (infact in each information system ) you will find drilldown report node in that import report transaction e.g. FSIQ .Import all reports you might get your required report.

Abhijit

Profit Center Report doesn't show data

Dear Experts,
I've posted some data thru FB50 in FI, with different cost center assignment 1201 and 1202. Both cost centers are assigned to profit centers, YB110 and YB120 respectively in master data.
Then, I tried to run a profit center report, S_ALR_87013326 from Profit Center Accounting (PCA) module but doesn't show any data.
Do I need to do any period-end processing in order to get the data out from PCA report?
By the way, the selection required for plan version, I just keyed in '0'. Not sure of the number, where to find the plan version as I didn't create any plan before this.
regards,
Abraham

Hi
If you see the screen shot I attached, it has the text "(new)" against the Folder name...
All new gl reports are under such a folder to differentiate... You cant deactivate any reports from the Standard Menu... You can just control it by authrization....
You can also ask your BASIS guy to display only the authorized trans on the user screen so that they are not able to see the std set of transactions

Profit Center Report issue

Dear Experts,
We have activated NEW GL Functionality and Classical PCA is switched off (i.e. no dummy pc is created)
and client's Profit Center report requirement is as following.
Under Profit Center,client wants to view the costs -Cost elements wise (BOTH THE REVENUE & COSTS) and Cost Center wise.
We have searched all the standard reports,but there is no such report to meet the client's requirement.
So we have decided to go with the development.Can any body share the table name ,by which we can develop a report to meet the client requirement.
Note that Table :COEP is tried ,but cost center field is not available in this table .
Regards
Su

Hi
You should use the library 0FS or 0FL to write your own report as per the format required. Standard Reports will not have the layout required. The link below will guide you on the steps to write a report in Report Painter. You need to down load the PPT

Profit center report does not show selection criteria

Hi,
The SAP Business One software misses a functionality :
When creating a financial report, you can enter surtain selection criteria in order to shift the data, and in order to get only the relevant data. This is possible in all reports. Also, in the result of all reports, those selection criteria are shown. In that case you actually know what the data is all about.
This is not the case with the profit center report. When you run the report with e.g a date selection, these dates are not printed on the actual report. When a second person views the report, he/she has no clue as to what the data consists of, they are unaware of the selection criteria.
The only solution is to export this to excel, or run Chrystal reports. But this should be entered into the standard report !!
Hopefully, you can help me out.
Kind regards,

Secondary Cost Element Values doesn't display in Profit Center Report

Hi everyone,
I'm having a problem with our Profit Center plan/actual/variance reports wherein it doesn't display the postings I made to the Secondary cost element when I executed an assessment cycle (KSU5). I already set in the configuration that all postings to be done in the cost centers, should have a parallel posting to the profit center assigned to it. I can see the postings in my cost center reports, but not in my profit center report. Could I have missed out on any procedure to enable the secondary cost element parallel posting in my profit centers? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

it might be the configuration of the library or some parameter in the report (record type should be 0 and 2 for actual values, where 2 stands for distributed values and 1 and 3 for planned values)
but it also might be that the reconciliation is done between different CC and same PC
- check your CC organisation asignment
- if sender cost center and receiver cost center have tha same PC it is probably the reason
- I had that problem my self and didn't solve it
cheers

Print Sort Code in Profit Center Report

Hi,
i'd like to print the field Sort Code in the 'Profit Center Report by Linked Accounts', from Profit Centre Report, but i'm not able to do.
I can see Profit Centre field, and Name field, but not the Sort Code.
There is a way?
Thank you very much.
Regards
Marco

Hi,
You will still get the answer from ERP financials. SAP Business 1 is simply a preconfigured SAP R3 system with the same modules etc. and this question is very definitely a financial module problem.
I am sure that you will get the answer there.
Good luck

I have checked the period is correct and profit center is active.
Please help.. why the profit center is missing?
Thanks
Pauline
