If we want to Implement profit center accounting...for both the plants.. what are the settings we need to make to get Plant wise report?
Kindly provide me inputs..
Thanks

Hello,
Before adressing the same, does Document Spillting is activated in your client? What is the characteristic of Document Spillting if activated?
In case if Profit Center Accounting is required, you need to create Profits Centers for the areas which are generating revenues.

Using EBS search strings to allocate a customer profit center

Hi All,
I am using IHC for my incoming payments. I use substitution for profit centers in customer orders, I would like the EBS to automatically deposit into the customer's account using the same profit center used when creating the customer orders. I have been researching on the use of search string, whoever am failing to see how to set this up.
Any suggestion is greatly appreciated.
Thanks & Regards,
Godhelp

Hi Shannon,
Thanks for your response. Here are the results of my latest test.
I set the algorithms in both the transaction mapping and the search string allocation to "021". FEBSTS did not find the imbedded reference numbers.
I left the algorithms in the transaction mapping at "021", but added "000" to the search string allocation (so that both "000" and "021" were active there). FEBSTS did execute the search strings and returned the reference numbers.
Unless there is some magic somewhere or I am really misunderstanding something, all of my tests are telling me that the simulation (and presumably the live program) will NOT execute the search strings properly unless "000" is active in the search string functionality, and that means the document retrieval must be done in the user exit.
This may be part of why SAP recommends that one does not use MT940, but one must deal with what one has.

FGI0 - FGI5 Issues with Some Profit Center with Line Items

Hi Experts,
I am running with some issue, not sure if im missing something. I have created a report form thru FGI4 (with FAGLFLEXT), i have two line items which are related to expenses which are going to cost center and another line item which are related to revenue which is goint to PA segment. In expense line items i just added two characteristics one is chart of accounts and another one is account group for revenue items i have added chart of accounts, account group, profit center group and CO area. later i created a report thru this form and executed, i dont get any values for expense line items, where as for revenue i get the values, i dont why.
If i remove the profit center group in revenue line items, i get value for both expense and revenue. and i tried this option adding all profit center group for expense line items, then i get nothing for both exp and revenue.
The reason for having profit center group in line items, is to show reveneue from different profit centers.
I dont know what i am messing up, can anybody help me out please
Best Regards

Profit Center issue when executing GR55

Hi Experts,
I was reported by the business users that they see transactions with the Dummy Profit Centers when they run report for Balance Sheet and P&L Statements. They dont want to see any Dummy Profit Center Report Transactions in their financial statementsin both BSand P&LStatements.
For example a number of Documents posted against same G/L account and few of them have dummy profit centers, users doesn't want to see them.
I already checked in tables BSAD,BSID, BSIS,BSAD, BKPF,BSEG
TCodes: FAGL3KEH (No default profit centers allocated to anyone of the company codes), FBL3N, FBL5N, VF03
So we know that there is issue but I need to know the process to find it.
Can anyone help me out the procedure to find out the issue. This is very high priority issue.
Thanks,
Andy Roger

Refer to the IMG Activity Documentation for the following IMG Node.
Financial Accounting (New) -> General Ledger Accounting (New) -> Master Data -> Profit Center -> Create Dummy Profit Center
Here is the documentation:
Create Dummy Profit Center
This function lets you create the dummy profit center for the current controlling area.
The dummy profit center is updated in data transfers whenever the object to which the data was originally posted (cost center, order, and so on) is not assigned to a profit center. This ensures that the data in Profit Center Accounting is complete. You can later send the data on the dummy profit center to the other profit centers using assessment or distribution.
You create the master record for the dummy profit center using this special transaction. To change or display it, use the normal profit center maintenance functions.
The name of the dummy profit center is displayed in the controlling area settings for Profit Center Accounting.
Prerequisites
The standard hierarchy must exist for the current controlling area.
Actions
Enter the name of the dummy profit center. The rest of the steps are the same as when you create a normal profit center.
Choose the function Extras -> Set controlling area first to make sure that the correct controlling area is set.
I am guessing this is where your dummy profit center postings are coming from (a cost center / order or some other account assignment object that is not assigned to a profit center). It should be mandatory (in your month-end close) to run reports on dummy profit center(s) and move balances, if any, to the real profit center, before you pull financial statements.

Profit center change in FB01

Hi,
when i do posting in FB01:
For first line item for GL a/c - 'GX' profit centre 'PC1' and for second line item GL a/c - 'GY' profit center 'PC2'. After posting for GL account GY profit center automatically changing to 'PC1' of first line item.
this is happening for only G/L account GY account and not for others. Directly it is picking from first line item
I've seen the substition rules and Customer exits and they won't have any effect on this.
Our Fucn Consultant telling there is no config for this modifcation.
While in debugging, I am able to see the change is happend to XBSEG-PRCTR for second line item from PC2 to PC1 of first line item.
THis has happened at following form of SAPMF05A.
MF05AFF0_FCODE_BEARBEITUNG_BU_BS.
Can any one tell me reason for this behavior and how to rectify the same..
Your help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks

Hello Saint,
Once the document posted you can not change the profit center, there are two options are available
1) Reverse the original document and post new document with correct profit center.
2) Post the document in profit center using 9KE0.

Profit Center : Reflect - Vendor, Customer, Bank/Cash Balance

Dear Experts,
Ref. : Reflect - Vendor, Customer, Bank/Cash Balance, Balance Sheet GL Accounts - Profit Center wise.
When we do postings to P&L Items, we assign a CO / Cost Object. Such Cost objects may be Orders, Cost Centers, etc., which has a Profit Center assigned to it.
Now, we wish to view Balance Profit Center wise.
My Concerns :
1. Can Vendor, Customer, Bank/Cash Balance, Balance Sheet GL Accounts - Profit Center wise. Since we do not assign CO objects to such line items, but the correspondense line items (P&L GL) has a CO object.
2. If yes, how do we move balance of such items, to Profit Center / profit Center wise.
Experts, please help me to understand the concept.
Regards,
Hussein.

Hi,
Are you in ECC activated new G/L? If yes, then you can define Profit Center as Document Splitting Characteristic for General Ledger and profit center will be in the AR/AP line item as well in ledger view (though you don't enter profit center during document entry).
You cannot give the Profit center in line item level to the Subledger accounts like vendor and customers.Vendor and customer accounts take the profit center from the offsetting entry.If want to see the profit center to the particular document, open the document go to Environment field and select Balance Sheet Adjustment option.
If you want to see the Profit center wise payables and receivables, use T.code GR55 and take report group 8A90 for Periodic Receivables and 8A91 for Payable.
If you want to see the all payables with Profit center use Table BFOK_A for vendors BFOD_A for customers.

Hi
Try to assign a constant profit center through T Code 3KEH or FAGL3KEH to the GL A/cs in Question. If you cannot assign a fixed Profit center, use a substitution rule to populate profit center based on combination of T code and plant.

Substitution of Profit center across project structure.

Dear All,
Requirement: Need to substitute profit center entered at Project definition level (at all times) to all project elements (WBS elements, N/W header and Activities). Also I need to validate this complete structure for the profit center inconsistency.
Problem: I have created Substitution rules, which will substitute across all the project objects (only when a new project is created). But if you change the profit center afterwards, it will change only at WBS elements level, however profit center at N/W and Activities will be substituted only when you make some changes to them. To avoid this I have created a validation, which will check across the complete structure.
Now after changing the profit center using CNMASS for all the objects, even though in physical you can find the new value at N/W header, however while saving it will validate and finds only the oldvalue and hence throws an error.
Can anyone throw some light on this?
With regards,
Harisha

Hi Martina,
My problem in detail:
I am creating a new project structure XXXX (having WBS elements, N/W and Activities) with initial profit center as AA. 1st time while saving the project, profit center AA will be substituted to all objects (I have maintained substitution rules at all objects)
Now again I will reopen the same project XXXX and I will change the profit center of project XXXX to BB (in the project definition level). With this due to automatic substitution only the profit center at WBS elements will be changed to BB. But not at N/W header and Activities (till you make some changes to N/W or Activity the profit center will be AA only, afterwards if you make any changes to N/W and Activities profitcenter will changes to BB). To avoid this difference I have created a validation rule, which will check the inconsistency of profit center all along the structure.
Now I am using mass change functionality to change the profit center in onego at all the objects. After making the masschange the profit center at all objects will become BB (but still not saved), however while saving the system validates the profit center and found still N/W and Activities having AA only (in database), so it wont allow us to save.
If you require further information please ask me again.
With regards,
Harisha

BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA for updating Profit center giving an error message.

Hi All,
I have a requirement to update Profit Center in storage view of Material Master. So for updating Profit Center I used BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA. In this BAPI we will pass Material number, Plant and New Profit center. When I used this it is successfully updating the MM view and in the return message its showing no authorization for this transaction. For my ID I have authorization for General Plant Data / Storage, Costing and Plant/Storage Location Stock views in Material Master Change (MM02).
I want to know why it is giving error message. Do I need to have authorization for all views in MM02 if I want to update the profit center through this BAPI?
Pointers to any other BAPI which can be used for updating Profit center in storage view in such a way that I need to have authorization for any specific view in MM02 will be helpful.

Hi Shyam,
Check out the Auth object for which it is saying no authorization or
Do the changing of Profit center using the transaction and check whether it is asking for Authorization object or not.
Reward Points if it is helpful.

Tcode : KCH5N - profit center group heirarchey

Hi All,
     When ever we try to change the profit center group of a profit center using drag n drop in tcode KCH5N , the status is still in active state.
     But when we try to do it manually some changes for the data that is related to a profit center(even when we assign a profit center to a new profit center group ) it will be in inactive state.
      Is this a standard functionality provided by sap? Can any body explain the same.
It would be gr8 if any one can let me know is ther any user exits that are related to the tcode : kch5n.
     pointers will be appreciated.

Do you mean to say only when some change is done manually state wil be moved to inactvive,even if the change is related to hierarchy (change in profit group for a profit center).
but i could see,if am going to use the drog drop for changing the profit group in tcode kch5n then the state is not changed to inactive.?
