Profit center report picks production variance posting from prev periods

(This is a repost, from a ill-chosen forum)
Guys I am lost
I am running S_ALR_87013340 : profit center Plan Actual comparison report, on a group of profit centers: the total I got is different from the sum of the individual profit centers in the group: the difference being on my production variance account, and a sales posting that relates to the prior period
I had the same issue last month, with the discrep. only being my production variance account.
but I was expecting something of the sort: it was the first time we closed orders, and SAP closed all orders since the implementation, years earlier
What could cause this?
Thanks for your time, again

Hi
The Production Variance account is usually not created as a Cost element.. Hence, the PC from the Mat Master is derived into this Line item.... Ideally, the PC from mat master gets copied into the Prod order also... If you change the PC in mat master later on, you can see a mismatch
Whats the situation in your case? The Prod Var account has PC or not or which PC does it have?

Profit center not picking correctly in PO from sales order

Hi Experts,
Profit center is not picking correctly.. in PO
In material master Profit center is configured as XXXX
We have raised a sales order for the same material with two line items (e.g) 1500 kgs & 1600 kgs and profit center has been changed in the sales order to YYYY
There is one purchase requistion for the same material with two line items
But we have raised two purchase order for each line item in which the same sales order is linked to these two purchase order.
In the first PO , for the first line item in sales order ie., 1500 kgs profit center is picked from the sales order ie, XXXX which is correct but in the second PO, for the second line item in sales order ie., 1600 kgs profit center is picking as YYYY ie which is configured in material master.
What could be reason ? Help in this regard will be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Narayanan

Hi Narayan
Check the Account assignment in the 2nd PO.. Does it have E as Acct Assgn Category?
It should have sales order as the account assignment... If yes, then it must pick up PC from the sales order...
Try to put a deletion flag to this PO and create a new one, if possible... You would come to know if some one has changed the PC

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

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.

Profit center report S_E38_98000088 not showing periodic values

Dear colleagues,
In ECC6.0/new GL we are trying to use report S_E38_98000088 to display Actual/Plan values for a specific month, but it looks like the system will always show a cumulative value since the beginning of the fiscal year.
We enter the following on the selection screen:
Currency type: 10
Company code: XXXX
Account number: XXXXXXXX
Ledger: 0L
Controlling area: XXXX
Plan version: 1
Fiscal year: 2011
From Period: 4
To period: 4
Profit Center: XXXXXXX
But when we execute the report, and srill down to the line item level, we see that the report picks up all posting in 2011 instead of 04.2011 only.
The same happens if we try to execute the report for 12.2010 - it will select all postings in 2010.
Anyone knows why is it working like that and how can I display a specific period?
Many thanks,
Yoel.

Dear Yoel,
Is the normal behavior of the trx for balance accounting, show us cummulative values.
For P&L accounting the filter for periods works well.
Regards.

Error in S_ALR_87013340 - Profit Center Group: Plan/Actual/Variance

Hi Sapians
When I execute the following report by enter following data
Controlling Area ZZZ
Fiscal Year 2009
From period 03
To period 03
Or values (Profit Center)
Profit and Loss account Group (say 127)
S_ALR_87013340 - Profit Center Group: Plan/Actual/Variance
I know there is no posting in March 2009 but system show considering Jan to Mar 09.
Actualy I need to check posting for the month March 2009 or Feb 2009
Regards

An SAP standard report writer is used in the transaction. The report group that is used is 8A26 (T-code GR53 for display).
There is a column set 8A-STOCK.GLPCT that uses the basic set 8A-VT-BIS.GLPCT for the field period (GLPCT-RPMAX). This is set to from value 0 to &8A-BIS (variable). Therefore when you enter 3 for march, it takes the value cumulative to 3 or whatever period you enter.
You could copy this report and change the values suit your requirement.

S_ALR_87013326 - Profit Center Group: Plan/Actual/Variance

Hi,
I am looking to branch off from a line item in the S_ALR_87013326 - Profit Center Group: Plan/Actual/Variance report to the actual posting document. Is there a way to do this?
Thanks,
Ram

Hi Nadini,
Thats cool. I have assigned points.
Another question. S_ALR_87013326 shows balance sheet accounts as well with zero balances. Is there a way to eliminate these accounts or populate them with the relevant values.
Thanks,
Ram

Regards
Adit

Hi Aditya
Your question is not clear...
1. Did you assign new GR/IR account in OBYC - WRX?
2. Which PCA you use . New GL PCA or Classical PCA?
3. If you use Classical PCA, then GR/IR line item wont appear in PCA reports.. You need to run T codes 1KE* at period end

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

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

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

Dear All
I have Planned Sales of 200,000 per month for my Profit Center 101. In the month of August I made a Sale of 17,000. When I run the report *S_ALR_87013326 - Profit Center Group: Plan/Actual/Variance * I get the Variance as 217,000 and Var % as 109%.
Whereas I should get the variance as 183,000.
The actual sale should not get added in the plan sales.
Please advice.
Thanks & Regards
Kanwaljit

Dear All
Thanks for the reply.
Can you please tell me how to see the debit/credit indicators?

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
