Profit Centre Allocation

G'day all,
Hope this finds everyone well.
In any case, we have a scenario where 100% of revenues/expenses is initially posted to a profit center 1000 of company code A.
This then needs to be allocated to profit center 1001 of company code B.
Both company code are assigned to the same controlling area and uses the same cost centre and profit centre hierarchy but have different cost centre/profit centre groups.
We will be running on ECC 6.0
Can anyone advise as to how this can be performed?
Should we use distribution/assessment of the classic PCA functionality? OR should we use PCA allocation within New GL?
In either case, we are not sure how this works as we find that it is not possible to allocate revenues/expenses from one company code to another. Are we missing something?
Thank you,
Richard

Hello
I am not sure of transferring values to PC of a different CC, but check in 9KE0, maybe you will have parameters for inter CC transfer.
Actually enter the PC of the other CC and see what happens.

Using SKF to do allocation for Profit Centre

Dear All,
I am in the process of setting up the distributing the cost from 1 cost element to several profit centre base on SKF, which requires ratio of number of employee.
The requirement of SKF is basically to capture the number of employee of one PC / total of employee of Profit centre group. Distribute the cost of cost element of ONE profit centre to a several profit centre (defined in PC group) base on SKF.
I have created the SKF via KK01 and creating Profit centre group.
Change the SKF via 9KE5. Now, i am stuck of ensuring the ratio is created properly, which i think should be defined in 9KE5?
I have tried to define the distribution rules via 4KE2 by choosing variable portion with actual value / SKF. However, the receiver of the profit centers which i defined the PC group was zero after i executed the cycle via 4KE5.
Could you please shed some light what i have gone wrong or missed anything, as i have been trying to google and forum on the steps of setting up the distribution.
Thank you so much and very much appreciated.

Hello,
Thanks for the reply. The concept should be the same for the distribution and assessment. I may adopt the cost allocation instead.
However, may i know using SKF, are we able to compute the ratio :
the number of employee of one PC / total of employee of Cost centre group?
Could you shed some light on that? I understand we need to manually enter the number of employee, but using formulae for the SKF?
Thanks

Profit Centre Hierarchy Change and Profit Centre Budget

Hello Friends
For better view of Profit Centre Reports we are planing to change the Profit Centre Hierarchy.
I wanted to know that, are there some Specific Points which we have to take care of, before changing the Hierarchy?
Will some other settings get affected in System after changing the Hierarchy?
Also i want to know the TCode for entering Profit Centre Budget in System.
regards
prashant

Hi,
Profit centre planning (there is no budget for profit centres) is entered via 7KE1 transaction. If you change your hierarchy you should think of the effect on your reporting and allocation processes. That is if you use certain group in your cost allocation cylce and now you change it, it might have an effect on costs distribution.

FI:Business Area,Profit centre

Dear All,
Its a ECC 6.0
We have 4 different product & physically two plants Now is it possible to get different balance sheet at plant level & product wise?
Or
Is it mandatory to have different plants for each profit centre to get balance sheet at profit centre level & in this case how STO's will be apportioned.

Hi!
It is possible to have balance sheet Plant Wise. But, as per statutory compliance, I don't think product wise balance sheet is possible.
One profit center should be allocated to only one plant. One profit center asignment can't be possible to more that one plant. In case of STO, profit center would change from supplying plant to recieving plant and same accounting entry would get generated at the time of Goods Issue from Supplying plant. At the time of GR document, no accounting document would get generated seperately for recieving plant.
Hope it will clear your doubt. Revert back for more information.
Thanks & Regards,

Dear,
It is believed and felt it is the persisting problem if you are not using the using Document Splitting functionality in New GL...
You can map one common profit center in 3KEH and at the month end you can allocated the to respective profit centers based on sales value..

Business Area & Profit Centre

< MODERATOR: Message locked. Please post this message in the [Controlling forum|SAP ERP Financials - Controlling;. >
Hi,
What is the difference between Business Area & Profit Centre.
how alternative profit centre is from business are.
any documentation available.
Regards,
Shekar.

Business area:An organizational unit in external accounting, which corresponds to a separate operational or responsibility area in the organization, and value flows recorded in Financial Accounting can be assigned to it.
The business area should be treated as a separate economic unit, for which you can create an internal balance sheet and a profit and loss statement. The business area is, however, only an internal organizational unit and does not have any external impact.
You define business areas if you wish to create a balance sheet and a profit and loss statement for internal areas, in addition to company codes.
Profit Center:
A profit center is an organizational unit in accounting that reflects a management-oriented structure of the organization for the purpose of internal control.
you can use your profit centers as investment centers.
Profit center Accounting at the profit center level is based on costs and revenues. These are assigned statistically by multiple parallel updating to all logistical activities and other allocations of relevance for a profit center.

Can one profit centre be assigned to many business areas?

Hi
Can any one tell me that whether "one profit centre be assigned to many business areas"?
Regards
Rakesh

Dear,
We never assign tehm to ech other,
But both business area and profit centers are created for internal reporting. Now a days profit center is a felling that business area enhancement would not be supported by SAP future version

Cost centre vs Profit centre

Hi to all
what is the exact difference between cost centre and profit centre?
Thanks
ravi

Dear
cost center
An organizational unit within a controlling area that represents a defined location of cost incurrence.
The definition can be based on:
Functional requirements
Allocation criteria
Physical location
Responsibility for costs
Part of a company seen as a separate area of responsibility, location or cost-accounting entity. Place at which costs occur.
profit center*
An organizational unit in Accounting that reflects a management-oriented structure of the organization for the purpose of internal control.
Operating results for profit centers can be analyzed using either the cost of sales approach or the period accounting approach.
By analyzing the fixed capital as well, you can expand your profit centers for use as investment centers

Profit Centre Document issue at the time of Post Goods Issue on SD.

Dear Experts,
While SD person is posting Post Goods Issue, System is generating Profit Centre Document along with other documents. We are facing an issue with Profit Centre document here and the issue is:
Some Profit Centre Documents are populating Delivery Order Number on respective field while some are not. Ideally all profit centre line items should show Delivery Order Numbers.
Please guide any solution to resolve this issue, its urgent.
Thanks in Advance.
Regards,
Zain Bashir

Hi Zain
This is a tricky issue
Are you saying that the PCA document has the Delivery Number (VL01N) updated in some cases and not updated in some cases?
The Delivery Number is updated in PCA document when you create Delivery from VL01N and do PGI from VL02N
But, if you do PGI from VL01N itself, then the delivery number is not updated in the PCA document
SAP recommends to post PGI from VL02N

When I run transaction FBL1N for vendors and include profit centre in the layout, the profit centre column is included but is not populated with and values for any line item. However when I run a report in FAGLL03 the line items dispolay a profit centre.
How do I get the profit centre to report in my FBL1N output?
The Program running FBL1N is RFITEMAP.
Warm regards
Victor

I have done that. The column appears but it is not populated with any profit centre for line items, although the items belong to profit centres.

Stock balances by Profit centre-New GL

Hi,
Is there any standard FI report by which I can get the stock/material/inventory balances by profit centre and segment. We are in ECC 6.0 with new GL activated.
If there is no standard report, can this be acheived by using a ABAP query by table join.If yes, please let me know the tables to consider.
Thanks
Aravind

Try the report S_E38_98000088 - Profit Center Group: Plan/Actual/Variance for your inventory accounts. This will give you stock values by profit center. Leave the profit center value blank in the selection criterial. Run MB5L for stock values by inventory account and then double click the account to get the stock values by material.
FAGL_FLEXT, MBEW and MARC can be joined to get the values.

Profit centre at storage location level

Hi Experts,
Can we define a profit centre @ storage location level?
My scenario :
The document splitting of FI is activated for the document type of FI and also the profit centre is mandatory entry for any accounting document that will be created so when I am trying to post a MIGO I encounter the error
"Balancing field "Profit Center" in line item 001 not filled"
We have a option of maintaining a profit centre in plant data/storage location but i will be updated in the profit centre field of Costing1 view . But we does not want to upadate in costing view of material master data.
Basically We want the system to determine profit centre based on storage location in Goods reciept transaction .
Helpful Sugestions on this would be helpful & rewarded max .
points.

Hi Raju ,
Thanx for the reply.I am Basavarajs Collougues.
Our Enterprise Structure of our Client is as follows
One company code is assigned to one plant and we have treated all the branches across India as Storage locations.Each Branch (Storage Location- MM) is configured as Profit centres in FICO.The goods are procured for a storage location.
By using the functionality of document splitting, the profit center field is made mandatory for all the accounting documents generated in the system. Now we are trying to post a goods receipt against a Purchase Order, the system is giving error "Balancing field "Profit Center" in line item 001 not filled"
The option is there to maintain a profit center at the plant level.But we have several storage locations under the plant and each storage location has to be linked with the particular profit center. So that, while doing goods receipt the system should determine profit centre based on the storage location in purchase orders.
Please suggest on this.

if sytem is behaving correct in this case how to take the vendor or customer line item with respective profit centre wise.
Thanks in Advance,
Sahil. K

First of all go to SE37 and copy the function module SAMPLE_INTERFACE_00001650 and make a Z one out of it .
Then code your requirement playing aorund with the structure RFPOS .
Then Go to FIBF - Settings - Products - Of a customer . Here make a new entry with a Z one of yours as per your convinience .
Again go to settings - P/S modules - Of customer - Entere here the BTE 1650 and the product that you have created and enter the fucntion module name that you have made the codings in .
Save the entries .
Also , in the FM you can keep a break point and check what is the effect that is coming out in the Structure RFPOS after the FM is executed .
May take the help of an ABAPER for the same .

Profit centre-wise Vendor/Customer outstanding

I am working in ECC6. Profit Centre and Segments are activated.
While I am posting a vendor invoice, I assign the profit centre in the expenses account and the vendor is also posted to that profit centre while posting.
Now my requirement is to view the profit centre-wise vendor outstandings. I tried to execute the Open item report per profit centre (S_ALR_ 87013343 & S_ALR_87013344). However, I am unable to see any output figure. The list is coming as zero. System shows a message "Report 8A4-0012 does not contain any data pages".
Is there any other report or what is wrong with the above report ?
Regards

The profit centers are not posted directly in PCA.
The Vendor/Customer reconsilatin accounts should NOT be 3KEH
Have you run:
F.5D - Calculate
F.5E - Post
F.5F - Display Log
or
1KEK - Transferring Payables/Receivables
