Sales Documents and Profit Centre and GL Accounts

Currently a when we create a sales document for a plant, that document is posting to a specific GL account (Cash on Hand account) and profit centre. In VKOA, the Account Assignment Group is assignment to a GL Account, and that AAG is assigned to the material master. I want to find out how SAP is currently determining to which profit centre and GL Account it is posting to. The only thing that I can get is the Plant and sales office in the Sales document. I want to know the determination factor

Have you checked in OKB9 ??

Division and Profit Centre Relationship?

Hi,
Is anyone able to provide a definition of the objects DIVISION and PROFIT CENTRE and also what their relationship is with each other?
Thanks,
M.

Division : A way of grouping materials, products, or services. The system uses divisions to determine the sales areas and the business areas for a material, product, or service.
A product or service is always assigned to just one division. From the point of view of sales and distribution, the use of divisions lets you organize your sales structure around groups of similar products or product lines. This allows the people in a division who process orders and service customers to specialize within a manageable area of expertise.
Profit Centre: 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.

Assign Plant to a GL Account and Profit Centre

Where do I assign a plant to a GL account and Profit Centre.

Hi,
a plant is not direct assigned to a profit-center and not to a G/L account.
A plant is assigned to a company code (in customizing), a GL account can be created (account master data) within a company code (if its used in this CC), a profit-center is assigned to one/more company codes (profit-center master data).
In material master / costing 1 view (which is plant related) you can assign a material to a profit center, thus all postings in one plant related to this material belong to this profit center.
Best regards, Christian

Profit Centre and Cost centre not updated

Hi,
I have posted expenses through FB60 and assigned cost centre to the expenses account and not for vendor item. Entry passed was posted.
But when i checked the document, i saw that the cost centre and profit centre is appearing in one line item (i.e. expense line item) only.
Afterwards i made payment through F-53. In this entry also there was no cost centre and profit centre in vendor line item. But the same was appearing in "outgoing bank" line item

Hello,
If you are on classical GL, your vendor line items or customer line item will not be updated automatically.
If you are on New GL functionality and document splitting, you will have profit center updated on customer and vendor line items.

Ravi

Doubts on clearing line items in profit centre and deleting the profit cent

hello All
We are using ecc 5.0 and new g/l, document splitting is activated. We are not using classic profit centre accounting.
We have two accounts which has values for profit centre 1010219.
1. 228100 which is assigned in cross company code clearing account
2. 228200 which is assigned in cross business unit ( as a part of zero balance account) in documen splitting.
now i want to clear all he entries for this profit centre and transfer them to another profit centre 1010403.
I am unable to do so as everytime I try to pass cross profit centre entry, Account 228200 gets a balacing line item( as a part of zero balance). this way my profit centre trail balance will never become zero.
can some body help me with this,,,,
1. in classic profi centre we could use t-code ke90 just to pass a document entry in PCA, this is not possible in new g/l... is there alternative.....
please help....
thanks
sanjeev

Hi,
You can try Profit Center Distribution(both sender and receiver gets original account numbers) or Assessment(Assessment cost element shall be a bring in between) to transfer values from multi profit centers to one single profit center or multi profit centers. The cycle can be run on a periodical basis.

Intercompany elimination at legal entity and profit centre level

All,
I have a question regarding intercompany elimination. As far as I understand, BPC can only hold one Interco dimension per application. If you want to perform an intercompany elimination for two dimensions which do not roll up into each other, two separate applications are needed. Please see example below to clarify:
Data is reported the following way:
Legal entity Profit Centre Account Interco Value
The problem is that the profit centre hierarchy does not roll up into the legal entity hierarchy mainly because there are profit centres set up as legal entities. Consequently, the legal entity hierarchy and the profit centre hierarchy are two independent hierarchies.
The business requirement is to have an intercompany elimination at profit centre and legal entity level at the same time (hence requiring two Intercos at the same time). This is needed as some of the profit centres are set up as legal entities.
Can someone advise me as to how to resolve this issue? Did anyone come across a similar problem?
Please let me know if you require any further clarifications.
Marc

Hi
Try to use 2 application for the interco elimination
for the 1st appls ur entity will be the entity dimension and use intco as intco dimension
for the 2nd one use the profit center as entity and build a new intco
As per interco logic this is using the Intco property in the Entity dimension and Entity property in intco dimension
it is very impossible to do this in one application
Thanks

Relationship BCS-Profit Centre and FAGLFLEXT

Hi,
I'm in ECC5, using BCS 4.0 and BW 3.5.
Our current designed required 2 type consolidation, which is company consolidation and profit centre consolidation. Note that the profit centre consolidation also required balance sheet and profit/loss.
Now, I know that basicly the source of data coming from R/3 is actually the special ledger table FAGLFLEXT. In this table, both company and profit centre shared the same table in order to maintain data consistency.
My question is:
1. Is my understanding about FAGLFLEXT correct?
2. What are the prerequisites steps so that the table FAGLFLEXT can have the profit centre data inside?
Any advise please....
regards,
Halim

Hi Halim,
1. Is my understanding about FAGLFLEXT correct?
FAGLFLEXT is a totals table in which totals records are stored.
It is used in general ledger accounting as the basis for your parallel ledgers. It offers a number of dimensions such as company, account, cost center and product. SAP delivers the totals table FAGLFLEXT for general ledger accounting in the standard system.
2. What are the prerequisites steps so that the table FAGLFLEXT can have the profit centre data inside?
When you activate new general ledger accounting, the totals records in general ledger accounting are updated in the standard totals table FAGLFLEXT. This totals table is deployed in functions such as planning and reporting.
If the standard totals table delivered does not fulfill your requirements, you can define your own totals table. To do this, in Customizing for Financial Accounting (New), choose Financial Accounting Global Settings (New) -> Ledgers -> Fields -> Customer Fields -> Include Fields in Totals Table. Choose Extras -> Create Table Group. When a totals table is created, the system simultaneously generates the corresponding line items table.
Hope this will help.

Budgeting and Profit Centres

Hi experts
I need a help from you all,
Can we assign budgets to profit centres?
Iam having 2 profit centres which has to be tagged to one account code and each profit centre will have a different Budget,
Help me to assign two profit centres into one account code and also need to assign budgets based on the profit centres.
thank you
best regards
vinodh kumar

Hi,
If just for reporting purposes that you need to have the following reports:
1) Budget vs Actual for Profit Center A
2) Budget vs Actual for Profit Center B
3) Budget vs Actual for both profit centers.
Then my suggestion is that you create 3 different budget scenarios. Means in Budget 1, you create budget figures that apply to Profit Center A only, then Budget 2 is for Profit Center B and then Budget 3 to have combination of Profit Center A&B's figures.
At the Budget P&L, you will be able to select profit center under 'Expanded' button. Then to compare budget vs actual for Profit Center A, first select the scenario Budget 1 and then go to 'Expanded' button to select Profit Center A only.
Thus you will be able to achieve budget P&L for report 1 above.

Difference Between FI and Profit Centre Value In Stock GL

Hi
After running the report 1KEH (Tranfer Matrial Stocks) the difference of 1000 is coming out between profit centre and FI in one of the semi finished stock Gls. The MM report MB5L is also showing that difference between stock and FI value. (Materail value is less than FI value). Can anybody please guide me how to dig out this problem where the difference is arising.
Kind Regards

Hi,
in most cases its a manual FI-posting that causes the difference, compare MB5L logistics details (per material) with FI-postings (per material, maybe its needed to create a query/quick view to get this info). Do you have the difference again for another MB5L line? This can happen if the Balnce sheet account in FI-account determination is changed.
Best regards, Christian

Cost centre and Profit centre in one query - Authorisations not working!

Hiya,
I have another problem related to Analysis Authorisations.
I have created an AA with Cost Centre and Profit centre access restricted to a certain node of a hierarchy (type 1 - this node and below). For example, the User can only run a query at Cost Centres level of Country Belgium - the query works fine. Now, the user wants to drill down by the relevant Profit centres. According to the log, the system checks for Profit centres like * and says the user is not authorised. All this, despite the fact that all Profit centres belong to country Belgium and user has been given access to see these profit centres.
What do I need to do to enable drilldown by Profit centre? I can't make a "*" access to Profit centre as the user will be able to run other queries at global level, which is not what I can allow.
Any suggestions?

Hello,
I don't know if it is relevant, but I had a similar problem when I had two characteristic each with hierarchy restrictions in one authorization object.
I "solved" it by separting each characteristic into its own authorization object.
