Profit centre vs document splitting

Hi,
in ecc 6 iam not active the document splitting but can i use the profit centre in controlling because iam go for Business area in fi and controlling iam going for profit centre.i want reports at profit centre levell and business area levell .any body help this query
regards
Nagaraju

Business area is not recommended by SAP.
The reason is 'The Problem of splitting of account balance is more pertinent in case of tax accounts'.
Implement Profit center Accounting instead of business area.
Please let me know if you more information.
Assign points if useful.

Profit centre in Document Splitting

Hi!
I am facing problem with profit centre in document splitting.
My client is posting document with two Balanse sheet accounts like Accrued Expenses Dr to Bank A/C, where both are Balance sheet accounts and there is no profit centre in those line items, system is giving error "Balancing field profit center in line item 001 is not filled"

Moderator: Please, search SDN

Dear ramesh,
Simply put profit center for the bank or accrued expense at the time of entry.
Because there is no line item from where the Profit center can be derived right.
It is not a document split problem.

Business Area and Profit Center In Document Splitting

Hi,
We are using Business area and Profit Center characteristics for document splitting.
In one transaction, the Business area and profit centers are defaulted through the cost center.
The document is successfully split in respect of the business area, but the profit center is not filled, thereby giving error while posting.
Please suggest.

Hi,
Actually, we have all three scenarios, profit center, segment and business area..
As suggested, we have checked all field status relevant.. profit center is optional in all cases..
Now, Pls consider the scenario without business area in document splitting characteristics..
If I post an expense, profit center is picked thru cost center and segment thru profit ctr. The vendor or bank line item inherits the characteristic values from the previous line item.
Now, in addition we have business areas in doc splitting characteristics.
Business area, again is populated thru cost centers, along with profit ctr and segment.
The business area gets correctly populated in the vendor line item.. but the profit center doesnt.
Please let us know the reason..

OKB9 does not work to derive a Profit Center from Document splitting

Hi GL Gurus,
I am trying receive customer payment with payment difference. Original invoice has two Profit centers so Customer line items have these 2 PCs derived by Doc splitting. I have defined Document splitting characteristic as Profit Center in General Ledger and In Controlling as Cost center. While posting Customer payment with payment difference , It gives me error that CO object does not exist. I have done OKB9 assignement to the above 2 profit centers but it still does not derive a Cost center.
Do you know how to resolve this error?
Thanks in Advance!

I have done OBXL and then OKB9. In OKB9 you have feature as "Mandatory fields for detailed account assignments.Field for specifying detailed account assignments." Here you can define for a Cost element/by Profit center assignment and then to a Cost Center. This works when you have a Cost element/Profit Center combination. But the situation above it does not read the PC derived in Customer line item.
The issue is OKB9 does not Read the Profit Center when it is derived by Document splitting/Inheritance.
Is there a solution to do this?

Profit centre error while vendor rebate settlement

Hi
this is regarding vendor rebate settlement TC- MEB4.
while settlement of agreement, system is not able to determine the profit centre, hence unable to post the entries. in this regards, i have checked following:-
1. material used in rebate agreement - profit centre maintained
2. field status of all GL used in settlement process is optional for profit centre and cost centre
3. in document splitting, categories of the GL's are Balance Sheet Item and Revenue
4. field status of the posting key also open for profit centre
5. document type is defined as Unspecified posting in splitting
do i need to look some other place for possible cause of error? please revert
Regards
DD

If you have mainatained the Rebate as accrual based on agreement adn Sales conditions then you should use Item Category as "01300-Cash Discount Clearing".
Change and try in atest system and while changing the category read the warning message carefully that the system issues and understand the implications.

Change Document splitting rule

Our company has been live with the new GL and document splitting for 3 years. The original splitting rule was set to split on the Business Area. However we would like to change the rule to split on Profit Center instead of Business Area. Is it possible to change the splitting rules without adversely effecting the system?

Hi Michael,
There is no harm in discontinuing the active rule but activating the inactive rule is really a big deal and SAP doe recommend this because it has potential threat. See below example.
Only Business Area active as Document Splitting rule.
Invoice was posted where there was profit center not populated for some reason and system did not give any error since it was not active field.
Now you activate profit center as document splitting characteristic
You clear the invoice posted above, system will give error like Document Splitting: Item for clearing not found which is irresolvable by the way of confguration change for which data has to be migrated using cockpit and that has to be done under SAP's Consultancy only.
If you want activate Profit Center as a Document Splitting Characteristic then go ahead but do not select it as a Mandatory Field

Document Splitting-Balancing field "Profit Centre"

I am trying to post an F-02 transaction as follows:
Salary & Wages   1000     Dr.   Cost Centre(A) & Profit Centre (A)
Salary & Wages 1000     Dr.   Cost Centre (B) & Profit Centre (B)
Salary Payable    2000     Cr.
But when I tried to post it, the system is showing the error that "Balancing field Profit Centre not found in item 3.
I am expecting that the item-3 as above should be split and inherit the profit centre information. However, the document is not split and the system is showing the error.
I cannot assign a default Profit centre to the item -3 . How can I reslve this error. Document type used is SA and it is 'unspecified posting' in the Document Spitting method 0012.
Please help out.

Dear,
Nikitha.
Isn't your system asking you profit center as your mandatory field ? If it is so just put your enter your respective profit center
and simulate the entry. ( In some cases enter your cost center system will catch assigned profit center from CC try out )
Follow the following path :-
IMG --- FA NEW -
General Ledger Accounting New --- Business Transaction -
Document Splitting -
Define Document
Splitting chracteristics for General Accounting.
Here is your PRCTR is defined mandatory.
If you untick it your system will allow you to post the document. But listen if you have activated segment also with that.
Your reporting will be of no use and result void.
In the SAP best practices it is said dont untick it if you have posted documents with same activated functionality
By unticking your profit center wise & segmental reporting will be of no use.
or do one thing go to down side of the same path a little you will see one transaction as Edit constants for non assigned
process select your constant and double click on assignment of profit center maintained there default profit center or
maintained dummy profit center 9999. Now your system will pick this profit center 9999 or your mentioned one
as your default profit center.
Or one more else thing you can do is by posting key make your profit center optional through its posting key's field status
group.
Hope this helps you to solve your issue.
Please revert back for further clarification.
Regards,
Pankaj.

Reval Balance sheet adjustment account splitting to Constant Profit Centre

Hi all
I am performing currency revaluation for Vendors.
Document splitting is active u2013 Cost Centre u2013 Profit Centre - Segment
The original invoice was split between two Cost Centres.
I revalue the invoice currency using FAGL_FC_VAL.
The batch processing -SM35- runs and gives a posting document number.
When I examine the document, the GL account created as the Balance Sheet adjustment account in OB09, is posting through the Constant PC and Segment.
This is then creating Zero balance lines in the CO-FI reconciliation account.
The expense/revenue account for gains/losses is being correctly shown in the Profit Centre.
My question is whether the Balance sheet adjustment account for unrealised exchange gains/losses should be using the constant PC and segment, or whether this is due to an error?
Any advice is appreciatedu2026

All I had to do was change the Field Screen Variant to G004 to enable the SM35 in picking up a cost centre> Job done

Document which does not contain profit centre

Dear Gurus,
We are using New Gl and Document splitting using profit centre. But while inter segment transaction system allows automatically created line item(TDS) with out profit centre. now i want to delete that document or update profit centre in that line item how can we do that?
How we will restrict system from allowing such documents to post?
Regards,
Devesh Chaudhari.

Dear Devesh
Pls check the assignment of Segment in Profit Centre.
Better you reverse the existing document and post again.
Enable checkbox as profit centre is mandatory in step "Document splitting characterstics in GL Accounting" or write a validation with profit centre mandatory.

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
