Profit centre information in F-02 (customer to customer / vendor to vendor)

Question

One of our user is trying to post a FI document using F-02 for transfering from customer to customer and vendor to vendor.  While doing the transaction, he is not able to give a required Profit centre in the transaction.  I checked the Field status of the reconcliation accounts used and found that Profit centre is an optional field.  How can the user assign a profit centre while doing these transactions ?

Hi Nikitha,
Profit Center field is not displayed in transaction screen. If you are using document splitting then profit center is derived from offsetting account and if not using then profit center is derived from F.5D execution , which ultimately derives from offsetting account.
To give remedy to this problem, it is better that you create one clearing  G/L account. Let's take an example.
One clearing G/L 150000 has been created. Now customer Rs 5000 (debit balance) is to be transferred from customer 1000 to customer 2000. Entry would be.
Pkey          account            amount              profit center
40              150000             5000                  9000
14              1000                5000          
Pkey          account            amount              profit center
50              150000             5000                  8000
04              2000                5000          
This way profit center will remain balanced.
