Profit center -- segment as entry ifield in customer posting

Hi,
we're in a New GL environment with the document splitting active.
I wonder if it is possible to have the profit center -segment field open for entry in the customer line of a posting?
I tried to make profit center and segment as 'mandatory entry' in the field status of the posting key and the customer reconciliation account but without succes.
thanks for advice,
François

Christian,
I'm using F-28 transaction. What I'm willing to do is to allocate some money I received from my client to the correct site (Segment->profit center). The thing is that the remittance advice has not yet been received so I can not yet clear my bank account against my customer.
On the other hand I'm not allowed to allocate the cash to another profit center than the one linked to the bank accounts (business rule). So I can not indicate the profit center of the site on the bank account. this is the reason why I want to set one particular profit center on the customer side/
thanks for info

  • Deriving the profit center / segment during Bank Reconciliation

    Hi SDN,
    One of our requirements is to generate a Financial Statement by Segments.
    For this reason, we also need to derive / tag our Bank Reconciliation documents (Manual and Electronic) to the corresponding profit centers or segments. The problem though is that during FF67 or FF_5, there's no way we can enter these data.
    At the same time, we can't set a default profit center via FAGL3KEH since these bank accounts may be used for multiple profit centers and not defaulted to one only.
    My question now is, can we use the document splitting functionality so that we can "inherit" the profit center / segment from the payment document during bank recon?
    To give you an idea here's a sample flow of what we wanted.
    Customer Invoice (GL view)      - OK in the system
    Dr  Accounts Receivable  (profit center 1) *inherited
    Cr  Revenue Account (profit center 1)
    Incoming Payment (GL view)     - OK in the system
    Dr Incoming Clearing (profit center 1)
    Cr Accounts Receivable (profit center 1)
    Bank Reconciliation        
    Dr Main Bank             (profit center 1)
    Cr Incoming Clearing (profit center 1)
    Currently, system does not inherit the bank reconciliation document to the right profit center. Is there any way we can do this in the system?
    Thanks

    Dear,
    During bank Reco system inherit the Profit Center from the document which it is clearing. There is no need to maintain Default the same in FAGL3KEH.
    Please activate splitting at Profit Center level.
    Hope this helps!!

  • Unable to update profit center or plant code in the customer line item

    Hi,
    We require the profit center and plant code and division in FI
    documents (Posted through billing document or through direct FI entry)
    We are unable to input plant or profit center in the customer line item
    while using F-21 or any other FI transaction
    The plant and profit center is not appearing even in customer line item
    in RV document (From SD billing)
    We have made the Field status group as optional for the reconcilation
    accounts.
    Regards

    Hi
    Profit center / cost center are generally entered in revenue & expense line items (P&L items). Customer / vendor master and line items are balance sheet items which will not show profit / cost centers.

  • Changing profit center - segment assignment in ERP2004

    Dear Experts,
    A customer of mine uses segments for IFRS reporting. They have been live for about 9 months, so obviously all profit centers already contain transaction data. In beginning of next year the number of segments will increase, but they do not want to create totally new profit centers since they already now have thousands of profit centers, so they would very much prefer to simply change the profit center-> segment assignment.
    Changing the segment is commented in OSS note 940721. Given their current version and Support Pack level, segment can be changed in Mass maintenance, as implied in OSS note 940440. This is an error, but customer is very happy about this error.
    However, now they have discovered that segment can also be a time-dependent field. This is commented in OSS note 940629, where it is stated that segment should not be changeable therefore, if I understand right, it should not be time-dependant.
    Customer's question to me is: Since they at the moment can actually make time-dependant changes to segment, are there any side-effects if they do so? I can appreciate that the answer which I presume to be SAP's official answer "you must create new profit centers instead of making time-dependant changes" is not a desired solution for my customer. I expect customer will have problems if they implement the SP's where segment becomes a totally unchangeable field or if they upgrade to ERP2005 - at the minimum they will lose the possibility to change the segment, but I do not know what will happen to the time-dependant data if the field is changed so that it no longer is time-dependant.
    From a document posting point of view, I guess there should not be any side-effects, I expect system will post documents to the segment that is valid on the posting date.
    I hope there is someone who has had the same problem, or if there at least is someone who has had to solve the problem of having the need to change the segment assignment - is creating a new profit center really the only safe way to do it?
    All answers are appreciated!

  • Profit Center population in the Vendor and Customer Line items

    hello
    our client is asking for  getting profit center in the vendor and customer line items  where in the view FBL5n and fbl1n we are not getting the profit center populated - in the new gl i understand that there is a standard report based on the gl account.
    but our business is not satisfied with the report and expecting report at profit center level.
    Can any one suggest any way of doing this.
    regards,
    Vijay

    Dear Vijay,
    Let me provide you my view of solutioning for this. This is an enahcement that needs to be done
    1. You can get the profit center from the given vendor and customer line item at the time of posting, using an enahcement you will be able to capture it.
    2. Existing the profit center field is not populated in the BSIK,BSAK,BSID and BSAD tables
    3. Hence, in the same enhancement once you capture the profit center , you can write the code that profit center is updated in these tables also.
    4. This will help you to do the vendor line item wise selection in the FBL1N,  FBL5N profit center wise.
    Constraints of this solution:
    The only constraint remains where in the for a given document if there are multiple profit center, then the system will do the splitting profit center wise for a vendor line item, which will not populate the profit center in those tables as there is only one field available in the bsid etc.. tables.
    This basically would be the one the soltuion where in as seeen from the end user ther eis no change in the front end interface , the way they are doing always they can do.
    You need to also take care the % of document splitting means cross profit center postings /cross document splitting charactericstics postings and the volume involved in this. so that you can suggest this to your client.

    Bharathi.

  • Profit Center & Segment wise payments

    1. Looking for a document for enhancement of profit center & segment wise payments in F110 Payment Programe. exit\BADI ?
    2. What exit is sutable for automatic bank determination in F110 payment programe

    There is a workaround to use the field business place or payment method supplement.
    E.g. You can use specific payment supplement method for specific profit centers. And then can populate that payment method supplement during the document posting - manually or via substitution.
    Then you can select that payment method supplement in the free selection in F110.

  • Profit Center Segment Change

    Hi,
    We have been using a segment on a profit center that is incorrect. There have been many postings to the profit center. I realize that I cannot change the segment directly in the master data of the profit center. What is the best way to approach this problem? Do I change the validity period of the existing profit center, create a new profit center with the correct segment and transfer the values?
    Any suggestions are appreciated.
    Thanks in advance,
    Andy

    Creating a new profit center with the correct segment is a good idea, but you will also have the need (I assume) to rectify the segment in the existing postings; else you have to have another means to consolidate the numbers into the correct segment for reporting purposes.  The segment from the profit center gets defaulted in the transaction data, but using field status, you should also be able to change the incorrect segment in the existing transaction data (again, volume may be a constraint here!).

  • Profit center segment characteristics fileds activation.

    Hi All
    Where we can activite (t.code or path) Profit center segment fields (charasteristics) while generation of Sales order.

    Hi,
    Profit Center field should normally be available in Sales order line item in Account Assignment tab. If it is not visible, please check the field status group of Revenue GL Code. (Profit center field should be made optional). Also check the settings of Movement type 601 (hope this is the movement type which is used when PGI for this Sales order is done)
    Please revert if it helped.

  • Need to make profit center a req entry in F-28

    I have the need to make frofit center a req entry in F-28. I did OBC4 and went to the field status  group for reconciliation accounts and made profit center a req entry there. I also did ob41 and made the profit center a req entry for the psting key 15-incoming payment.
    But after doing all this it still doesnt show as a req entry in F-28. It allows me to post with out entering a value for the profit center.
    Can anybody tell me what Im missing here.
    Thanks
    Ratheesh

    Please keep in mind that the reconciliation accounts are not relevant for Profit center. They derive Profit center.
    If your version is < ECC 5.0 then the profict center will get derived when you run the periodic process of running 1KEK.
    If you are using > 4.7 EE and new GL is activated then the document split will take care of filling the profit center provided ZERO balance for profit center is checked in Document splitting characteristics. Enterign the profit center in the line item of which GL acount type A,D,K is no meaning and not relevant.
    Even if you write a validation the system may stop by not posting without a profit center. If you post with profit center and expect the standrad reports to show this like FBL1N or FBL5N it will not happen.

  • Profit center an optional entry for Movement Type

    Hi All,
    I have the need to make changes on the Field Status for the Movement Type 561 to set profit center to be an optional entry.
    Right now when I go to MB1C and enter the movement type and the plant, it asks for a profit center since its a req entry. I want to change that to optional. Please help.
    Thanks
    RFico

    Hi
    1. Go to SE38 - Program RM07CUFA
    2. Enter Movement Type 561 - GL Account as your stock account
    3. Execute
    4. It will show you 2 columns - Field Status as per MM and FI
    5. Make Profit center as optional there for MM...
    6. Pr Ctr as optional for FI can be made from OBC4

  • Profit Center & Segment: difference?

    Thanks in advance!
    Ferdinando

    Hi
    Segment is a new field in New General Ledger Accounting. From ECC 5.0, PRofit Center Accounting is part of FI and no more part of CO. If new GL Accounting is activated, segments can be used as another reporting entity. Each Profit Center is assigned to a Segment.
    Hope this helps.

  • Profit Center in Journal Entry

    Hi,
    I have a problem add an AP Invoice.
    In my invoice, I specify for each line a profit Center.
    After adding this invoice, in the journal entries, the profit center does not appear, and I've to specify it manually on each JE.
    I don't know why.
    can anyone help me ?
    Franck

    You should only get the Profit Center code on any Revenue or Expense accounts in your JDT1 records.  So do you get it on the expense account line for your AP Invoice?  The JE for the BP will not have the profit center but you can add it manually
