Segment reporting, split by profit center; still need segment splitting?

HI experts,
With reference to the subject of this post, I would like to have better understanding on the followings:
Settings (1) IMG > Financial Accounting (New) > Financial Accounting Global Settings (New) > Ledgers > Ledger > Assign Scenarios and Customer Fields to Ledgers ... I have settings of <Profit Center Update and Cost Center Update>
VERSUS
Settings (2) IMG > Financial Accounting (New) > General Ledger Accounting (New) > Business Transactions > Document Splitting > Define Document Splitting Characteristics for General Ledger Accounting ... I have profit center to be split (updated)
My concern, is I want to have segmental reporting. In the SAP material, it says that segment derived from Profit Center.
My Question: With the above settings (1) and (2), do I still need to have additional settings for segment? For example:
Settings (2), do I need to set segment here?
How about settings (1), any need to have <segment update>?
In settings (2), help file says: "This determines what fields in a ledger are updated when it receives posting from other application components." Not quite sure what this statement mean.
Thanks and regards,
sbmel

Hello,
The actual need of scenarios to be added in every ledger is the need for these objects to be updated in new tables like FAGLFLEXT. If you do not add scenarios then information of cost center, profit center , segment will not be updated in New GL Tables.
Hence it is mandatory to pass entire information related to Cost Centers, Profit Centers and Segment by adding relevant scenarios to all the ledgers activated.
Secondly, segment is such a field that can not only be derived from profit center but also through a BADI using a logic written using ABAP code.

Splitting in NEW GL with one profit center and two segments

What options are avialble for splitting in New GL when there should be one profit center and two segments - maybe characteristic derivation could solve it?

If I have understood your question correctly then you have one profit center and you want to attach two segments to it.
Segment is higher level than the profit centre. One segment can have n number of profit centres but one profit centre will have only one segment. This is the drawback in using the 'segment' in SAP. Also, it is difficult to change sengment embedded in profit centre master.
You might try using profit centre groups than segment.

Hi,
We are in a re-implementation scenario.Client is using the older version of SAP and the new version is ECC 6.0.The requirement is to activate the document splitting with profit center and segment as scenarios.(Charecteristics for splitting).As on the cutoff date we take the balances and upload the same in the ECC 6.0 system.The question is how these balances will split.How the customer and vendor line items will split.
Please clarify...let me know if you need further info.

Display Report for 30 Profit center in 30 sheets in a Workbook

Hi all
I have a very unusual requirement .
Part A.
I need to display a particular report for a profit center , then I need to display the same report for each inner node of the above Profit center in separate sheets . & all these sheets should be renamed with the name of the Profit Center .
These then need to sent via a Information Broadcaster to the user.
e.g if I have a Profit Center A. & within Profit Center A , the inner hierarchy nodes are A.a , A.b , A.c etc
Then my 1st sheet should contain the report for Profit Center A with the sheet name as Profit Center A . then the next sheet would contain the report for Profit Center A.a & also renamed as Profit Center A.a , then 3rd sheet would contain the report for Profit Center A.b & also renamed as Profit Center A.b
This is part A. Would this be possible ?
I know that I can manually add the report each time in each sheet separately . But can be this done Dynamically ?
Also the renaming of the sheet , can something be done to pick up the value of the profit center manually ?
Part B
I need to send the above prepared report workbook through Broadcaster to the users.
can the above settings for multiple values of the Variable Profit center be created in the broadcaster setting ?
When I searched for this , the Broadcaster allows multiple variables selection for some Formats ,but not for Excelsheets.
Please help me out here.
Thanks

Hi,
Check SPRO configuration for account assignment settings @
SRM server->cross application basic settings->account assignment->Define account assignment
1. Check for your acc assignment category for ex. WBS , what are account assignment fields are maintained.
if not there maintain profit_ctr from search help.
2. If you are not able to track profit_ctr in search help then you may need to make respective profit center entry in table BBP_C_ACC_F and then perfom step 1.
after above steps even you are not able to get profit center on screen then you may need to check
1. Meta data configuration
2. WDP component for profit_ctr field

Segment Field missing in Profit Center

Hello gurus,
We have activated New GL feature in our system and I created segments.
However I am unable to find the segment field in my profit center master data setting.
Are there any steps which I have to configure to get the field for segment in my profit center master data.

It turns out that we had not activated it and hence segment was not showing up in Profit center.

Thanks
Sreenivasulu

Hi Friends
The problem has beend solved. It turns out that this is a report writer issue. We raised the issue with SAP and they informed that 'For Report Painter/Writer every item is checked if you have the authori-zation or not. Only the items with authorization fullfilled will be displayed afterwards'.
Based on SAP answer we created different reports for each profit center/company code.
I would like to thank you all for your time and inputs.

Derivation segment (new GL) from profit center in CO-PA

Hi experts,
i have problem with derivation segment (new GL) from profit center in CO-PA. I tried Table lookup in KEDR to CEPC table, but SAP want date - DATBI (Valid To Date). I don´t know which Field name with origin CO-PA should choose? How solve this problem with derivation segment from profit center in CO-PA? I think, i will have to use Enhancement - userexit...
Thanks a lot,
Gustavo

3.Tax Report - Splitted by Profit Center

Hi Colleagues,
My customer has following problem.
They have a vendor and customer invoice posted to more profit centers, but in the tax report the firts Profit centers wehre the document is posted is only visable?
Do they need to activate a New GL (document splitt) in order to get a tax reports splitted by Profit centers.
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards,
Slavisa Lecic

Hi Ashish,
If you have hierarchy node like "ALL" which have all the base members of Account and there is no data for other combination.
Ex - Combination of Profit Center A with Accounts 100001 - 100010, 420000, 430000 etc.
Combination of Profit Center B with Accounts 100001 - 100010, 520000, 530000 etc.
In this case if there is no data for combination of Profit Center A and Account 520000, 530000 etc.
and Profit Center B and Account 420000, 430000
then you can use hierarchy node.

Profit Center Accounting - Need an appropiate DataSource for reporting

We have a report which gives us debit-credit info based on Business Area for given G/L accounts. Modeling is as follow:
0FI_GL_1 -> 0FIGL_C01 then report is based on virtual cube 0FIGL_VC1(logic is based on 0FIGL_C01 only)
now we need a report which will be giving us Profit center wise debit/credit for given account numbers...
so we moved to Profit center accounting---> used the cube 0PCA_C01,,modeling is as follow:
0EC_PCA_1 -> 0PCA_C01
we extracted the datasources 0FI_GL_1 and 0EC_PCA_1 in R/3 whose debit/credit info is not matching for the given G/L accounts.
Please let me know which datasource will be suitable to get profit center wise o/p instead of using 0EC_PCA_1
thanks

Yes you are right...
but as of now table GLT0 is throwing 0 record whereas relevant data is available in table FAGLFLEXT, same has been discussed with FI consultant ,,,anyways its okay...
my second worry is on Fiscal variant...
we need historical data which is based on V3 (apr to Mar)---->present in old R/3
however in new R/3 we have implemented K4 (Jan to dec)---> present in New R/3
>
Data modeling is done for both to new BI ,means:
BI7 is talking to old R/3 and New R/3
so we have historical data till mar09(coming from old R/3 (V3)) and fresh data coming from New R/3 (K4) since apr09
>
now the problem is we have data for all periods but due to difference in fiscal yr variants we will be having data in BI as follow:
Mar 09 - 12/2009 (V3) - data available
Apr 09 - 04/2009 (K4) - data avaiable
here we are seeing data avaiable for both mar and apr but due to difference in fiscal yr variants we are not getttin data since 01/2009 till 03/2009 nevertheless its present ...reports are based on fiscal period/year so if user wants to view report for the period 01/2009 - 03/2009 then it cant be viwed....
lets know yr opnion on this

Hi Experts,
We use flexible upload for first consolidation, at that time we take profit centers as prefix P company code eg., Company code: ABCD then profit center : PABCD
In LDS mapping tab page for profit center configured move with constant as "PABCD" and then for segment we use reassignment based on segment - Company code - GL accounts.
Now client requires wants to take actual profit centers for segment reporting
For this we are going to changed in LDS as follows:
1. Removed constant value "PABCD" and maintain source attributes - Profit Center in profit center
2. Removed all reassignment and configured reassigned segment based on profit centers and GL accounts is it correct procedure if not please guide me how to do
If the above is correct we expecting problem may be as under:
1. In Total Records FS items shows both Actual profit centre and PABCD how i can resolve - may be post any entry if so in which period before Balance carryforward period or after
2.We are going to execute Balance Carry forward Task in next month, what is result for FS items and profit centers, is carry forward with actual profit center or PABCD or Both
Pls give reply

thank in advance.

Hi,
using New GL and activating "old" PCA is possible, just do the settings in T-Code 1KEF.
But as PCA is an integrated functionality of NewGL why do you want to post this documents again to "old" special ledger?
Guess its more senseful to update your reporting based on the NewGL data source...
Best regards, Christian

PS Report with the Profit Center

Hi All
Is there a standard PS Report that will give me values as per the hierarchial structure of the WBS Element and additionally the Profit center also as an output.
Thanks much
RS.

Hi
Some times we do go beyond the question. You can say addon package on foc basis. :). let us not get into aurguement mode and try to share our best experiences to members. There are so many ways and means to accomplish the output so every one is sharing their experiences. By looking at all those possibilities its amazing to see such different approaches being followed.
In my opinion your answer is the best answer in releavnce to the question. You know one thing CN41N is the best report in my opinion still it does not have field PC to view.

Making segment field mandatory in Profit Center Master Data

Hi,
We are using SAP version ECC 6. While creating a profit center using KE51, we would like to make the 'Segment' field mandatory. Can anyone tell me how can this be done? Thanks.
Regards,
Sangeeta

Hi,
There seems to be no standard setting which makes this mandatory. You may need to take the help of an ABAPer to create a field exit.
Cheers.

Segment not activate in profit center master data

Dear all,
I activated all the profit centers using KEOA2, but the segment field in profit center master data is still greyed out ? is there any process to activate the segment as well? Your input will be appreciated.

SPRO>Financial Accounting(new)>GL Accounting (New)>Preparation for productive start>Migration of existing SAP Data>Additional Activities>Make settings for segment and segment derivation.
Maintain Segment.
Indicator is set('X')
You can edit the segment in the profit center master data before New
General Ledger Accounting is activated.
