Profit center was set to 2000-DUM

Hi
I have an issue here...in material master we have assigned profit center 2700 (Sales and Marketing-Jeddah) and the profit should go to 2700 profit center...but though this profit center is assigned in Material Master...the profit is going to (2000-DUM) which is a dummy profit center.
Processing at  MB31.
Getting the following message:-
Profit center was set to 2000-DUM
Message no. KI339
Diagnosis
You entered profit center 2700 or transferred it from a previous transaction, such as material receipt from an external order. However, the R/3 System derived profit center 2000-DUM from the account assignments.
System response
The system automatically determines the profit center from the assigned profitability segment, cost center, order, project, network, sales order, or cost objects. This overrides the profit center you entered manually.
Procedure
To post the data to profit center 2700, assign the profitability segment, cost center or other object to that profit center as well.
If the posting to profit center 2000-DUM is correct, no further action is necessary.
This message is sent as an error in the standard R/3 System. You can make the message a caution or deactivate it entirely in Customizing. Use the Implementation Guide under "Controlling: General" and choose Change message control. Enter area KI and message number 339.
With the above warning message i can do the settings accordingly but it will not serve the perpose...of profit going to profit center 2700.
Diagnosis says about assigning of profitability segment...(I DONT WHERE TO ASSIGN).
Please give your expertise as how can i send the profit to profit center 2700 instead of dummy profit center.
Thanks!

Normally the profit center gets derived from the master data i.e. material master, cost center etc. You can also derive the profit center using derivation rule. In your case, check whether you have maintianed any derivation rule in T code 3KEI and also check whether there is any default assignment mainatined for cost element in T code OKB9.

  • MB1A message - Profit center was set to 14000

    Hi,
    When i am doing MB1A with movement 201, enter cost center - 90100 and Profit Center - 13750 and hit enter. Then system shows an information - Profit center was set to 14000.
    After that system automatically change the profit center. Why system shows this???
    i found 1 related thread..
    WBS in Sales Order
    there mentioned a standard include 'FV45PF0V_VBAP-PRCTR_FUELLEN' for solve thew problem. If this is correct one, what should be change in it.
    Plz guide...

    In this note, solution is for movement type 221. Can i do the same for movement type 201 also.
    Solution As per SNOTE
    Solution
    Correct the table entries:
    Call transaction SE16 for table T8J156X
    1.Correction:
    Enter :
    BWART : 221
    BUSTW : WA01
    CNT02 : 02
    and press the execute button.
    One or more table entries will come up. Set the curser on each entry, press the 'change' button and clear the single, editable field. Save the entry.
    2. Correction:
    Enter :
    BWART : 221
    BUSTW : WA01
    press execution button.
    If there is no line with CNT01 = 98 one must create a new entry.
    The new entry should be as follows:
    BWART   : 221
    BUSTW   : WA01
    WERTU   : X
    MENGU   : X
    CNT02   : 98
    JVACCOVR: X
    The rest should be blank.
    If there exists in addition lines with CNT02 = 99 the JVACCOVR fields
    must be BLANK.
    You can check also with: BWART : 221, BUSTW : WA01 and CNT02 : 99
    after calling SE16 and pressing execution. For all lines with CNT01 = 99
    which comes up the JVACCOVR fields must be blank as well.
    3. Correction:
    Enter :
    BWART : 221
    BUSTW : WA01
    CNT02 : 98
    press the execution button.
    One or more table entries will come up. Insert a 'X' in all rows of
    column JVACCOVR which are left blank and save afterwards.

  • Project with profit center was not created for entire period

    Hi everybody,
    I need a help with a problem here.
    The alert mesage "project with profit center was not created for entire period" was displayed.
    Then I searched for the creation dates and the profit center was created before the project gets its firsts postings. Therefore, some line itens don't exist in profit center (ledgers).
    My two questions:
    The first one, is it possible to input line itens in a retroactive way?
    Everytime I need to use the project master data this alert is displayed. How can I fix avoid this message?
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    Regarding your issue, it is theoretically possible to reverse all settlements up to the start of the project and then to settle again it
    is a must to check in standard if the profit center is valid from the project start date onwards.
    Check the attached note 1048945.
    The system generates error message KM700 ('Profit center <PRCTR> does not exist for <date>') when you enter a profit center on a project definition if the profit center is not valid in the entire period between the basic start and the basic finish date of the project definition . However, only one warning message should only be generated in this case.

  • Profit Center was not maintained during order n billing creation.

    Dear, Gurus
    I'm facing a problem of Profit Center. User created a service material, maintenance contract. They created a Billing Document as it is order related billing. Accounting document was not generated when saving invoice. When I got to the bottom of this I realized no costing tabs were ever maintained for material type services. (Henceforth no Profit Center in Sales Order n Invoice).
    I have done the necessary config n assignments but question now is what should I do as in billing doc  the field is greyed out it will not allow me to assign Pr Center now. I am thinking that this may work if I cancel the billing document and then go back to sales order and try and changing the field, then re-create the invoice. I'm trying to avoid canceling. Is there any program, bapi, user exit I may use to re assign or make system re check the MM while saving invoice to allow accounting document to be created?  This is one scenario.
    2nd scenario is similar but in the case of this contract everything was made. Accounting document was cleared even but with some dummy weird Profit Center. (No proft center in Order nor invoice.) Whole problem at first in this scenario is User saying everything is complete so status in doc flow should show maintenance contract as complete but wasn't. it showed being processed. I discovered no completion rule was maintained. I maintained E Full target value referenced but status still has not changed any idea guys? (New config not showing on old existing data only show on new document, concept?) Is there a program or anything to make system update status doc flow? aside from this Profit center  incompletion log is coming in Contract. Not maintained in order or invoice.

    In one of my earlier projects, a similar requirement was putforth by users and we had developed a zee tcode to change the profit center in billing document via SM30 which can be done only by FI authorised users.
    I am reproducing the said program as under:-

  • How to change Profit Center

    Dear PS Gurus,
    Kindly help me out on this.
    My Query:-
    I am trying to create a PO using the T-code ME58. When i am selecting the PR and adopting it i get a message as "Profit Center was set to 9999". However i want to post the data to profit center 1300.To do so the system is asking me to to assign the PSG, cost center or other object to that profit center as well.
    Diagnosis by the System
    You entered profit center 1300 or transferred it from a previous transaction, such as material receipt from an external order. However, the system derived the profit center 9999 from the account assignments.
    Kindluy suggest as to where i should go and change the profit center so that i dont get the error message while creating the PO.
    Points will be rewarded.
    Regards,
    Gokul

    Dear NAG,
    As suggested i checked the Proift Center in t-code OKB9. I found the details as follows:
    CoCd - 1000 (IDES AG)
    Profit Center - 9000 (IDES Portugal)
    Cost Center - This field is blank
    Cost Element - 800000
    I checked the profit center in the material master also and found that the profit center 1300 is assigned, which is fine. Also i checked the profit center in my project. There too the same profit center has been assigned.
    I changed the profit center from 9000 to 1300 in t-code OKB9, and tried making the PO.But still i am getting the same error.I have checked the entire list of profit centers assigned to CoCd 1000 in t-code OKB9 but nowhere i could find the profit center 9999 assigned. I am confused as to from where the system i picking up this profit center (9999). When i checked the details of the profit center 9999 it was found that it is a Dummy profit center but i dont know where it is assigned and from where the system is picking this Profit center.
    Request you/anyone to knidly help me out in solving this issue. For your information i am trying this example in IDES.
    Please help me out.

  • Profit Center substitution in FB50

    Hi All,
      I have a requirement to substitute profit center by a contant value say 'CSB1.3' in the line of the Accounting doc which has the GL account no. which belongs to a particular cost element group.
    Example: In FB50, when I give the G/L account in the item line, and the order the profit center, by default is picked up from the account assignments in the Order. But, this has to be overridden by a contant CSB1.3 value.
    I tried achieving it by SUBSTITUTIONS through OKC9, but i didn't work.
    However, Now I have written a field exit for PRCTR for screen SAPLFSKB 0100.
      This is working, but it immediately pops-up a message saying...
    PROFIT CENTER WAS SET TO CSB2.8  -
    > which is the old value, coming from the order.
    and gets back the old value on screen.
    Can you please suggest, how to correct this or any other way to achieve this substitution.
    Thanks in advance,
    Sheetal Singh.

    Hi Sheetal,
    I observed there are 2 problems in your issue posted.
    1) Default profit center would have been assigned to the GLs u are using , which u need to delete. i.e. CSB1.3 assigned to GL accounts.
    Check in the below path whether any profit centers are assigned to GLs.
    SPRO->Financial Accounting (NEW)->General Ledger Accounting->Master Data->Profit Center-> Assign Default Profit Center to Accounts.
    If assigned removed so that ur field exit may work.
    2) If you want to write substitution for financial transactions there are 2 transaction codes involved.
    a) Tcode: GGB1 - Here u can select the Financial accounting folder and create substitution for which area u want like Document Header or Line item or Complete Document.
    i) U need to create a Step like SBUS_1 or something u like.
    ii) Now that u will find Prerequisite which u need to define, like company code & account type etc..
    iii) After that defining that u should click on Substitutions link under Prerequisite, u will find field & substituted by headings, add a field with + button available in that screen.
    iv)A popup window will be opened for field selection, u should select Profit Center field and press enter.
    v) It will give three options after BSEG-PRCTR selection, select a radio button constant value if you know the profit center number.
    b) Tcode: OKC9 - in New entries enter the following under columns,
    COAr- XXXX-Controlling Area
    Event- Line Item
    Substitution-SBUS_1
    Active-1
    and save it under a request.
    Now u can go to FB50 or any financial transaction u can see this substitution working.
    I hope it will help u in resolving issue.

  • MIRO; Determinatoin of Profit Center

    Hi Guys,
    Please share your views on this query:
    While doing MIRO, the system is deriving profit centre from the account assignment ignoring the profit center which is getting entered manually.
    At the time of PO creation, the material used, does has right PC maintained in material master data, which is getting entered manually but at the time MIRO system is picking up/forcing end user with a message saying "Profit center was set to XXXX" to use a different profit center and stating that this profit center is getting derived from account assignment.
    Anybody would be able to advise, how this profit center get derived in the whole process; creation of PO to MIRO. I am trying to find out how this different profit center is getting picked up by system when it is not maintained anywhere in material master or getting entered manually either.
    Please advise.
    Thanks.

    Thanks for your reply!
    Would you be able to comment, where else does MIRO pick up the profit centre from if there is different (profir centre) maintained in a material master data.
    The material I am using in this purchase order, hasn't got profit centre 1101 maintained in master and still its picking up a different profit centre and before saving the MIRO transaction system asks "Profit Center was set to 1201"
    Another thing I would like to share; at the time of transaction FB50 if I debit/credit GL Inventory Difference Loss account, it picks up Cost Centre 1201 by default, I would like to change it to 1101 so the posting could get directed to Profit centre 1101 as well. I could change and save desired cost centre here which means changing cost centre from 1201 to 1101 in FB50, which leads it to profit centre 1101 as desired.
    Please advise and let me know if you would need to more information on this.
    Thanks

  • Entries hitting only to the dummy profit center

    Hi All,
    While doing the PCA configuration I have created the 3 profit centers & 1 dummy profit center and the same is assigned in controlling area settings also but the problem is while posting the entries in any one of these 3 profit centers by default system is picking dummy profit center ABCD by giving  message "Profit center was set to ABCD" which is a dummy profit center.
    I have assigned the related profit center in cost center master data also.
    Looking for the solution.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Ravi,
    Thanks for your reply.
    In 3KEH,I have assigned the account from 1000000 to 2500200 with default profit center Hyderabad but by default the entries are hitting to dummy profit center ABCD.
    In OKB9, i have assigned Gl 4200030 which is a revenue gl in co code and account assignment detail 3 (Profit center is mandatory).
    Still the entries are hitting to the dummy profit center.

  • Profit Center- questions

    Hi All,
    Can some one help me understand and ans. the below question
    1. What is difference between 3KEI & 3KEH
    2.  Is there any chance of get amount difference between GLu2019S account balance and profit center amount in single posting?
            Eg: In posting 5000/, GL balance is 5000/- but profit center capture only 4000/-what would be reason how to rectify
    3.  What is use of the T.CODE 9KE0 
    4. How to restrict the some tractions for INTERNAL ORDER
    Thank you
    Anil

    Hi,
    If no profit center was specified or none can be derived for the selected interval of accounts when you make a posting, the system checks, whether the account is listed in 3KEH. If yes the system search for entries in TC 3KEI. If there are entries in
    TC 3KEI the default profit center is taken from TC 3KEI otherwise the default profit center from TC 3KEH is taken.
    For example: You have mantained profit center 1000 for the balance sheet account 1000 in 3KEH but not the 3KEI. Than the system will use this profit center by bookings with account 1000,  if you have not enter a profit center by the booking with accunt 1000  in FB01.
    3KEI allows you a more specified derivation than 3KEH.  It means you can define a strategy for the derivation. For example, you can define, that by booking with account 1000 and business area 1000, the profit center 1000 will be  derived and by booking with account 1000 and business area 2000, the profit center 2000.
    You can use transaction 9KE0 to enter a document in Profit Center Accounting. It is the new transaction for 1KEL.

  • Link material to profit center at storage location level

    Hello,
    I have one plant 0001,  two storage location assigned to this plant (MAG1, MAG2).
    In " MAG1", I am keeping the consignment stock (stock blongs to my vendor), hence when I create the material at the storage location I need that profit center be set to PF1
    "MAG2" is my own stock location, so when I create material at MAG2 level, I need that profit center be set as PF2.
    Does standard SAP allows such scenario.
    Is there any possibility to map this scenario
    Many thanks for your help
    Meher Souayeh

    Dear,
    Basically GUIXT script work mainly from Technical point of view..
    Here they can write codes accordinly so that if you want to make any sort of changes in the application or if you want to put some restriction parameters then by writing codes, it is very much possible to get the desired output.
    Hope this clears your doubt.

  • Substitution of a profit center at FI document posting

    Dear experts,
    I have created a cost center in which master data no profit center has been indicated. This because I have set up a substitution that, with a user exit check a custom table, retrieves the correct profit center to be used in the posting and populate it in the "Profit Center" field.
    The problem is that the system is then changing the content of the field profit center with the dummy profit center (since no link between profit center and cost center is indicate ad cost center master data), which is not correct.
    Do you know how can I overcome or avoid this automatic substitution that the system is making?
    If I include a profit center in the cost center master data the system is anyway changing the one included in the document by the substitution with the one included in the cost center master.
    Thanks in advance for the help.
    Regards

    Hi again,
    actually OSS note 62417  and 102737 seem to indicate that the  behaviour you observe is intended by SAP:
    We must have done something to our system to change this behaviour and make substitution work. I will try to find out what this might be.
    62417
    Symptom
    In accounting, posting is carried out to a dummy profit center, although the triggering billing document contains an explicit profit center.
    The dummy profit center is set in a line item after a profit center has been explicitly entered first.
    Additional key words
    VF01, FB01, profit center, CO interface
    Cause and prerequisites
    In addition to the profit center, the line item contains further CO account assignment objects, for example, cost center, order or profitability segment. Among the account assignments entered in addition to the profit center there is an actual CO account assignment object, for example, an actual order. In this case, the system requires that you always post to the profit center of this order. If no profit center is assigned to the order, posting is done to the dummy profit center.
    Under such circumstances, the system cannot post to the explicitly assigned profit center, since in the case of a later CO-internal allocation of the order to another order, the profit center assigned to the other order will always be credited. However, debit and credit must occur on the same profit center so that profit center accounting stays consistent.
    Solution
    The effect is authorized:
    Under such circumstances, the system cannot post to the explicitly assigned profit center, since in the case of a later CO-internal allocation of the order to another order, the profit center assigned to the other order will always be credited. However, debit and credit must occur on the same profit center so that profit center accounting stays consistent.
    OSS 102737:
    Symptom
    You want to reset the Profit Center in the document using a substitution (OKC9).Although the substitution is defined correctly, another profit center is written in the document afterwards.
    Other terms
    CO interface, profit center, G_VSR_SUBSTITUTION_CALL, KI339, KI 339
    Reason and Prerequisites
    In the line item, a posting is carried out to a controlling object which is assigned to a Profit Center.However, the substitution places another Profit Center into the line item.
    Solution
    The Profit Center of the line item and that of the controlling object posted to the line item must be identical.A substitution under these conditions is ineffective.

  • Cost center line items by profit center

    Hi,
    We have an issue, where user has processed a document in FI with profit center "X" however the cost center of the document has profit center "Y" in the master data.
    In FI, accounting document showed against the profit center "X" with which user has processed.
    In CO document profit center was coming with "Y whcih is in cost center master data.
    There is a variance between FI and CO for profit centers.
    However profit center account is not completly configured, it is configured minimally. So GLPCA, GLPCT do not fetch data for the given profit centers, I do not have profit center appearing in CO line item reports. We are using ECC 6.0 version.
    Please help me to reconcile the difference.
    Regards,
    Ramesh.

    Hi,
    I think your case for SAP is not normal process. Normally, if user assign separate profit center which is different to profit center in the Cost Object, lets say the cost center, during the posting the system will issue message that the profit center is changed the profit center assigned in the Cost object. System would not accept two different profit center on one posting process.
    For example:
    Posting material using assigment cost center X  that contain profit center 1000, then also assign own profit center 1402.
    During posting, the system will issue message " the profit center is changed to 1000". This is what happen when there is discrepancy in profit center during posting.
    So, by having one profit center in a document,  the data that flow from FI will follow the assignment in the Cost Object.
    For this problem, I think you need to raise this issue to OSS.

    Irhasni
