Profitability segment lost

Hi Gurus,
       I created a FI doc and I filled one item with profitability segment, and this doc was posted successfully.
       But when I check this document, that item's profitability segment got lost. The button of profitability segment is grey, meaning it can not be clicked.
       Profitability segment field status for corresponding account is required. No COPA doc is generated. And its real CO assignment object is cost center, not profitability segment.
        Anyone has some clue,thanks.
regards
zhihua

Hi..
You should check whether the Substitution is applied for the GL account to replace profitability segment with cost center using t-code OKC9 or OBBH.

How to update sales order number (KAUFN) characteristic in the profitability segment of the PA document created at the time of service entry sheet confirmation, as a result of shipment cost document

Hi,
We have a scenario wherein we create shipment cost documents against delivery. As a result of shipments fully transferred, a PO for freight vendor is automatically created and a service entry sheet confirmation happens. As a result of service entry sheet confirmation, we have Financial accounting, Controlling and profitability analysis documents created. We have a requirement wherein we need to have the characteristic “sales order number (KAUFN)” populated in the profitability analysis document created as a result of service entry sheet confirmation.
Could someone please advice how could this be attained in COPA. Thanks for your help in advance.
Regards,
Sandeep

Hi Ajay,
Thank you for the quick update.
The document is updated to COPA through OKB9 settings. The profitability segment is updated with fields like customer, product, company code, plant, sales area data, profit center, etc; however the sales order number is missing.
Could you please elaborate further how could FI substitution be implemented to call for the FM COPA_PROFITABILITY_SEGMENT through user exit? Are you recommending the substitution through GGB1? What could be the possible validation to call for the user exit to be implemented?

Profitability Segment while releasing invoice to Accounting

Hi,
I am configuring a scenario in which a debit memo request and a corresponding debit memo will be created. Users want to put in a WBS element at the line item level of the debit memo request (which is fine). Business gave me a GL account in which the profitability segment is a required entry. Now, when I try to release the invoice to accounting, I get an error saying "Field Prof.Segmt is a required field for G/L account" (Msg Number F5808). I know that by changing the field status group on the GL account, i can make it post, but that is not the point. I want to know
a. Why system is unable to determine the profitability segment (i entered GL account in OKB9 and checked auto determination of profitability segment)
b. Is it because I am using the WBS element and trying to post to both FI and CO (because, when i use WBS in sales order, during account determination, system looks for KOFK condition type to determine the GL account) and i am not supposed to do that? If i do not use a WBS, then, the posting happens (using KOFI) and the profitability segment is also determined.)
Please let me know if you need more information.
Your help is most appreciated.
Regards,
Mukund S

We closed this issue by changing the field status group for the GL account. Though this is not the perfect answer, we had to do it for the business need.

In KEPM error msg ' not all profitability segment can be processed'

Hi
PL HELP ME WITH THE FOLLOWING ERROR, when doing 'enter planning' in KEPM.
Message no. KG803
Diagnosis
You cannot maintain all of the profitability segments in the current transaction. This could be due to the following:
1. Errors occurred when characteristic values were derived for the profitability segments.
If this is the case, you can display the error messages under the menu option "Extras -> Error logs -> Derivation".
In the log , it says
Diagnosis
The characteristic "PRCTR" ("Profit Center") should be posted to Profitability Analysis (CO-PA). When the system checked the entries, it was established that the transferred characteristic value (" 1000 YB999") is not valid in CO-PA.
Thanks
kamala

Hi Kamala,
I would kindly ask you to check transaction OKEQN with your relevant planning version you are using in KEPM and where the above error occurs.
The system checks within derivation (where the error comes from) if the characteristic value is valid for a specific date set within the version (thus trans. OKEQN). If you have PRCTR '1000 102C511' not valid for the date set in the version within OKEQN, then this error message is justified, as the system realises that the PRCTR was not valid by that time.
Could you please check this? If the profit center is not valid for this date please adjust the date to a more recent one.
Best Regards,
Abhisek Patnaik

Error in Derivation and Profitability Segment

Hello Gurus,
I am two issues, which isnt allowing me to create a sales order in IDES.
I am referencing a quotation when i want to create the sales order. But i got a warning message 'error in derivation rule' and the log text has

I proceeded and the sales order couldnt save. An incompletion log pointing towards the profitability segment was generated. I have put the profit center, yet i have this issue.
Kindly help resolve it.
Thanks

Hi Luqman,
This issue is realted to the COPA Issue.
Please Try by giving the Profit Center at sales order Header by giving the Derivation rule and most important thing here is we have to mention the country of ship to here.
Please Reward IF Really Helpful,

Problem with profitability segment derivation while posting sales order

Hello,
We have the issue of profitability segment being not derived when the sales order is changed using BAPI 'BAPI_SALESORDER_CHANGE'. Subsequent to calling this BAPI we execute a BDC - to derive the profitability segment - which runs well in the foreground but fails in the background. Immediate help in this regards would be of immense help.
I have searched the forum but could not locate anything useful. There is this thread (Re: BDC for profitability segment VA02 (sales order)) citing the same problem but without answers.
Kind Regards,
Indu Shekar

Probability Segment is maintained but Profitability Segment is still grayed out.
The only way i was able to move things to COPA was to do a project Settlement from
WBS element to Profitability Segment (PSA).
But does anyone know if we can move things to COPA during Sales Order (specifically for a project-based Sales Order)?
Thanks.

Incompletion log Profitability Segment at item level in the Sales Order

Hello Sapians,
We recently activated the "Sales Order value flow to COPA". When we create the Sales Orders the Profitability segment for the item is getting picked up automatically and have no issue in saving the Sales Order.
But when we edit the Sales Order and then try to save it, Sales Order has incompletion log which is leading to Profitability segment in the item level.
When I click the little box in Sales Order Item > Account Assignment tab> Profitability Segment forward arrow--> "continue" or "derivation" in the populated screen, then the Forward arrow in the profitability segment is deriving the characteristics, then system lets us to save the Sales order with out any incompletion log.
I checked the OSS notes 114520, in this OSS note, my sitiuation is exactly first point but could not get any clue how to resolve automatically.
Why it is happening only when we edit the Sales Order? How to update bulk of Sales Order automatically?
Any inputs?
Thank you.

Hi
Since you have activated the Sales order flow to COPA, any change in the sales order triggers a Prof Segment redetermination.... Thats why you are able to save it once you redetermine the Prof Segment....
Ideally, if no Chars like Plant/Org Elements/etc are changed - It need not trigger the Prof Segment redetermination...
Refer Note 729381 - When is a profitability segment supposed to be determined?.... With ref to this note, raise an OSS msg to SAP and check if it is possible to avoid the redetermination of PSG as long as none of the relevant chars are changed in the sales order....
There is a similar issue in MTO where by, even if you change the Header text of sales order, it triggers the Sales order cost estimate.... SAP provided a note to stop this... Note 1548608 & 1260868.... Your case is similar to this.... Raise an OSS to SAP and ask them if they can provide such a note for your case.... I feel, it should be possible for SAP to give this!

Difference between New G/L Segment and Profitability Segment

Dear friends,
Can somebody explain what is the difference between New G/L segment and Profitability segment.
Thanks, Prakash

Hi,
Segment in New G/L is puerly for external reporting purpose.A segment is a sub area of a company for which has separate financial data and which has expenses and losses.For this segment we need virtually complete balance sheet for external reporting purpose.
Profitability segment is for analysis of profit within the organisation.A Profitability segment is a combination of different characteristic for which we want to analyse sales revenue and cost.These characteristic can be any thing for example customer, product, sales organisation etc.
For example We want to analyse what is the total sales of product A for customer group B under the sales organisation XYZ. Here profitability segment = Product+customer group +sales organisation

Sales Order No profitability segment!! Account assignment error!!!

Dear Experts
We are running an MTO(make to order) scenario!
First we create an contract in the system!Then we create sales order
with reference to this contract!
And when the sales order is sent to the planning department! They use
TCODE:CO08 create production order with reference to the sales order!
But we get an error message as follows:
Account assignment cannot be carried out because of different origin no.
Message no. V1134
Diagnosis
The sales document to which you want to refer is based on sales document 41033737 and item 000010.
Therefore, the settlement and possibly inventory management are carried out using the number of the
preceding document.
ut when I entered the the contract in Co08 and then I am able to create
the production order.
And when I back to see the detail in the sales order ,I find there is no
value in the account assignment to the profitability segment!!
Why the sales order have no profitability segment??*
Why we can not create production order with reference to sales order??
It seems there are one problem!
Thanks for any reply!!

Please refer note 327195 or 35445
thanks

EDI Vendor posting (INVOIC01) to account assign Profitability segment

Hello Experts,
Have anyone used INVOIC01 (EDI vendor) Idoc type to post to a Profitability segment in a InterCompany sales scenario? If yes, could someone guide me how to achieve this? I see that OBCC transaction has Profitability segment field, but I am not sure how to use it.
Any ideas?
Thanks for your time.

Thanks Waman for the SAP notes.
In fact, I have looked at those notes, already. We cannot change to INVOIC02 Idoc type.
I wonder, why SAP does not offer the functionality to update Profitability segment on the EDI Vendor posting. Transaction OBCC has Profitability segment, but giving a fixed PSEG will not meet any business requirement! EDI enhancement FEDI0001 has only EDI-FIELDS and not the IDoc segment details. There is nothing much one can do with just the EDI-FIELDS.
Have you used FEDI0001 enhancement for PSEG determination? Looks like all that one can do with FEDI0001 is move the OBCC configuration values to Coding block.
Thanks for your time.

How to make profitability segment pushbutton visible in FB50 transaction

Hi All ,
I want to make profitability segment pushbutton visible in FB50 transaction. I tried to change a transaction variant which is assigned for this transaction code. It was a user created Z transaction variant and i unchecked the invisible checkbox in SHD0 transaction and saved it.But still in FB50 i am unable to see it. Can anyone tell me why it is still invisible though i unchecked the invisible checkbox . Do i need to reassign the transaction variant again to FB50. I didnt do it because it is already assigned and i had just modified.

Hi,
In SPRO there is no Field selection for QA. If you want to maintain QA based MPN( get the material number relevant to MPN). Press F4 and select the search criteria search by MPN, you will get the material relevant to that MPN.

Required a customer field(located in the profitability segment box) as mand

our client is requested that the customer field (located in the Profitability Segment box) be a mandatory field for GL accounts which are getting posted directly from FI. This field is needed so that proper reporting can be generated for bad debt and product liability claims. Currently this field is not a mandatory when making journal entries, so there were some postings happened with out customer field. Due to this we are unable to extract exact values in CO-PA reports . Please can some one help me on this and explain the process and settings for this??
Thanks in advance.

Hi Eli,
I have posted note to SAP and i got the below reply from them.
Get this functionality you should change
the coding of form DERIVE_CRITERIA_EXTENDED from include RKEVRK2L after
uninstallation of note 115500(in case you have installed) like this:
Im Dialogfall (Kontierungspopup) Verprobung ob für Feld
Mußeingabe erforderlich (Merkmalsgruppe!)
(nicht f. Faktura, da dort keine Fehlermeldung moeglich)
if ( xt_criteria-field is initial
BEGIN OF DELETION *****
and xt_criteria-status eq '2'
and not is_status_flags-dialog is initial ) .
perform send_message using 'KE' 'E' '494'
END OF DELETION *****
BEGIN OF INSERTION *****
and xt_criteria-status eq '2' ) .
data: l_mtyp type c.
if not IS_STATUS_FLAGS-DIALOG is initial.
l_mtyp = 'E'.
else.
l_mtyp = 'W'.
endif.
perform send_message using 'KE' l_mtyp '494'
END OF INSERTION *****
xt_criteria-fieldname
is_cobl-vorgn
i_char_group
endif.
Afterwards you have to run function module RKE_GENERATE_INTERFACE_ACT
for your operating concern to update the generated program RK2LXXXX.
