Awaiting for your golden replies& Points will be assign for the useful answers.
Thanks in advance,

Hi Guru,
As per your yesterday feedback i have assigned in Material Sales:General/Plant Data later when i go VA01 when i give the material i can see the profit center which i assigned in Material but my client is saying that i dont want in MM02 i want to assign the Profit center in Order type so can you explain me some more detaily above SHD0 and VOV8 where i can assign the profit center.
Because if i assign in Material also problem why because there are nearly 500 above materials i need to change. so if it is order type means i need to change very few only maximum 5.
Awaiting for your replies & points will be assign for useful answers.

Re:Profit center as mandatory for VA01

Hi Experts,
Good Morning,
my issue is if i didnt give profit center in va01 the document should not be saved, so in OMS9 which field sel.group (eg:name-0001,0002.....) i need to go and maintain as "Reqd Entry"
Thanks in advance & points will be assign for useful answers,
SAP UK.

For information, Profit Center is flowing in sale order based on the value you maintain in material master. So the first option is make the material master field as mandatory.
Make the said field in material master as mandatory. To set this, go to OMS9, input 8 in "Field sel.group" and enter. Double click on Profit Center and choose the option "Reqd Entry" and save.
Now without maintaining Profit Center, you cannot save the material master.
So while creating sale order for that material, the profit center will flow automatically and no need to maintain the same.
Of course, for sale order, you can make this field as mandatory and it is blank, it cannot be said. To achieve this, Go to OVA2, block Sales - Item and double click on Procedures. There select Standard Item and click on Fields. There maintain the following:-
Table::::Fld name::::::Description::::::::Screen:::Status
VBAP::::::PRCTR::::::::Profit Center::::::::PKNT:::::00
Now without Profit Center, you cannot save the sale order.

Profit center field mandatory and error in OKB9

Hello everyone,
I have a question on Profit center. My user wants to see a message that profit center is mandatory at the time of GL posting and also add a profit center at the time of GL posting.
What I tried was in OKB9 added cost element (GL), assigned category 3 for 'Profit center mandatory' but when I assigned a profit center it gave me a message that 'cost element needs to be a revenue element (Note - cost element is assigned category 11) to assign profit center so I left that. and only used category 3 with cost element and company code.
My question is
1) Why is it giving me this error in OKB9, when I assign cost element.
2) How can I make Profit center field mandatory for the client and he can add his own Profit center

HI,
In OKB9 for profit center assingment it can be only Revenue elements. For those expenses item it can be cost elemtn with category 1.
It can be possible make it as mandatory fiile in field status variant for respective GL accounts and also document type you can make profit center is mandatory in that FSV.
Revert for clarification.

How to assign profit center to automatically generated line items

Kindly help me
Thanks in advance

Hi,
1. In which SAP version you are working ? Are you using SAP 4.7 or ECC 6.0. ?
2. If you are in ECC 6.0, have you activated New G/L ?
3. Segment reporting is happening with Profit Center is one of the scenario ?
Auto updation of Profit Center will depend upon these conditions. Accordingly one can provide you the solution.

Assigning profit center for vendor to vendor transfer (F-02)

Hi,
We are having two profit centers and would like to generate financial statments each profit center wise for which we must assign profit center for each entry passed.
Now we want to transfer balance from one vendor to another(which is a normal scenario in our case) with tcode F-02, but it doesn't allow us to select profit center and at the same time it gives an error that profit center not selected.
kindly guide us
Sanjay

Hi,
You have not mentioned teh Verison you are in.
Assuming you are in ECC 6.0 (As the error posted seems to be more relevant for this version) and document splitting is enabled, you cannot transfer from vendor to vendor or customer as profit centres in recon accounts are not taken by system.
So you need to take a intermediary GL account for first transferring from one vendor to GL account where you will be giving the profit center in teh gl line item and save. After that you use same GL account to transfer th amount to other Vendor account.
The system derives the proft center from GKL line item to teh AR/AP line items. Use F-44 or F-32 as the case may be.
Check document type in F-02 if you are using this as document type also controls the psoting in new GL.
Reward if useful.

Region wise profitablity "Not Assigned Profit Center (s)"

Hi,
In report drill down at Region wise profitablity in BEx "Not Assigned Profit Center (s)" is showing how can this error be solved ?
Thanks and Regards,
Richa

Hi Richa,
I would first check, if the loaded Hierarchy is correct and activated. Then look on the Query which gives the "Not assigned" entry and look which Subregion is not assigned. Check with Source system, because it is a very good possibility, that the assignment is not done there.
Usually: Do not hesitate to assume that BI/BW shows the correct data! Especially if the BI/BW was reliable for some weeks.
If some error like this does show up, first check in the source system. In our environment, about 90% of errors of this kind are due to inexperienced Source system users, or new requirements which were just implemented in the Source system without telling the BI/BW crew.
Kind regards,
Jürgen

Re:assign profit center to a order type

hi gurus,
good morning to everybody,
i have a question i have 1000 materials in my organization using by 5 company codes in that few material i need to assign profit center so i went to mm change and assigned the profit center for sales:general/plant and plant data/stor.2, if i want to assign profit center to order type how can i assign, if i cannot assign in order type i need to assign profit center in mm change for 500 materials, so if i change manually in mm change for 500 materials is it going to effect for the other company code when they post the transactions please give me your opinions.
thanks in advance and points will be assign for useful answers.

Dear Kumar
You cannot assign the Profit Center to Sale Order type. Whatever you maintain in Material Master, that will flow automatically in sale order as and when you create.
If you want to change the profit center in material master in bulk, you can do so via MASS. In fact for sale order also, you can achieve this via MASS but no partial delivery should have been made against that sale order. In case, you have already made partial delivery, then the field would become grey and you cannot change the same.
thanks

Dear Kumar
Go to VA02, input the sale order reference and execute. There double click on the line item and select the tab "Account Assignment". There you can see the field "Profit Center".
As I said in your other thread, if you have generated subsequent documents like delivery or billing, you cannot change this for that line item. You have to close this line item by assigning "Reason for Rejection", and create a new line item but then, b4 doing this, you should have changed the profit center in material master.
Alternatively, if you want to update in bulk, go to T.Code MASS, input "BUS2032" in Object Type and execute. There select "Sales Order Item Data" and click on "Fields".
Select the field name "MASSVBAP-PRCTR" and execute. Either you can input the sale order references for which you would like to change or just execute.
Now you will have a screen "New Values" on top and below the existing sale orders listed. Give the new profit center against the field "New Values" and execute.
thanks

Assignment Profit Center to Plant on material master for Production Order

Hi Experts
Can you help me !
Now I'm trying to lock a profit center to the plant.I've tried searching on the standard menu and customizing but do not get it ?
How to assignment profit center to plant or plant to profit center.
Regards
Dodo M

Hello Dodo,
1.
You can make an assigment between the profit center and the plant in Customizing (SPRO) in two steps (through the company code), under the following menu path:
Step 1:
Enterprise Structure
Assignment
Financial Accounting
Assign Profit Center to Company Code
Step 2:
Enterprise Structure
Assignment
Logistics - General
Assign plant to company code
So, first you assign the profit center to the company code, then you assign the plant to the company code.
2.
Or you can use the Enhancement MGA00001 for implementing your own check in function module EXIT_SAPLMGMU_001.
You can also check the following help to understand the relationships in details:

How to make the Profit Center Field Mandatory in Cost center Master Data

Dear All,
Please let me know how to make the Profit Center Field mandatory in Cost Center Master Data as well as my Internal Order Master Data?
Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Rajeswari Shankar.

Hi Rajeswari,
You can modify message number KS096 to "Error" via OBA5. Thus, the users would no be able to save a cost center without entering a profit center. (Depending on your release you can make KS096 modifiable by implementing note 486781.)
Concerning the internal orders (transaction KO01), you can run KOT2 and set Profit center field as required entry in "change field selection" section.

Greta

How to mix default profit center and mandatory profit center ?

Dear all,
I have defined that the profit center is mandatory for all accounts (with the field status group).
For some accounts, I have defined a default profit center in spro.
When I do a posting for those accounts, and I don't key in a value for profit center, I receive the error message "An entry is required in Profit center field for account xxxx". But, the account has a default profit center defined in spro.
Why the default profit center is not taken in consideration before to display the error message ?
Is there any solution ?
Thanks for your help

When the field status group for an account mandates a field, it has to be filled in ENTRY view, i.e. when you are entering the document. System would not let you go further until the field is filled with a valid value. Default profit center configuration gets triggerred subsequently (just before the posting).
Solution: For account for which you have default profit center configuration, change the field status group so profit center is optional.

To make profit center as mandatory while creating cost center

Hi,
what is the procedure to make profit center as mandatory while creating cost center.
Thanks and Regards
Boppana

Hi Boppana,
There are two possibilities to have the profit center field as
mandatory in KS01 (cost center creation):
a) You can modify message number KS096 to "Error" via OBA5.
   Thus, the users would no be able to save a cost center without enteri
   a profit center.
   Depending on Your release you can make KS096 modifiable by
   implementing note 486781.
b) You can directly modify the field via SE51 (SE51 -> Element list ->
   Rider Special Attributes) to mandatory entry.
   But in order to do this, You will need an SAP developer and
   object key (available via OSS ).
I would strongly advise method a). It's simpler and you don't
have to modify a SAP object (it would be a modification of the standard)
br, Guido
