Hi
Below are some steps in the SAP transfer pricing:
Define transfer prices
Define transfer prices as surcharges on valuation prices

Hi,
Refer This SDN Blog, which gives you steps in detail....
LSMW Step by Step Guide: Legacy System Migration Workbench is an R/3 Based tool for data transfer from legacy to R/3 for one time or periodic transfer.
Basic technique is Import data from Spreadsheet / Sequential file, convert from source format to target format and import into R/3 database. LSMW not part of standard R/3, if we need this product email [email protected]
Advantages of LSMW:
 Most of the functions are within R/3, hence platform independence.
 Quality and data consistency due to standard import techniques.
 Data mapping and conversion rules are reusable across projects.
 A variety of technical possibilities of data conversion.
 Generation of the conversion program on the basis of defined rules
 Interface for data in spreadsheet format.
 Creation of data migration objects on the basis of recorded transactions.
 Charge-free for SAP customers and partners.
Working With LSMW:
Use TCODE LSMW
Objects of LSMW:
Project ID with max of 10 char to Name the data transfer project.
Subproject Used as further structuring attribute.
Object ID with max of 10 Characters, to name the Business object .
Project can have multiple sub projects and subprojects can have multiple objects.
Project documentation displays any documentation maintained for individual pop ups and processing steps
User Guide: Clicking on Enter leads to interactive user guide which displays the Project name, sub project name and object to be created.
Object type and import techniques:
Standard Batch / Direct input.
Batch Input Recording
 o If no standard programs available
 o To reduce number of target fields.
 o Only for fixed screen sequence.
 BAPI
 IDOC
 o Settings and preparations needed for each project
Preparations for IDOC inbound processing:
 Choose settings -> IDOC inbound processing in LSMW
 Set up File port for file transfer, create port using WE21.
 Additionally set up RFC port for submitting data packages directly to function module IDoc_Inbound_Asynchronous, without creating a file during data conversion.
 Setup partner type (SAP recommended US) using WE44.
 Maintain partner number using WE20.
 Activate IDOC inbound processing.
 Verify workflow customizing.
Steps in creating LSMW Project:
 Maintain attributes choose the import method.
 Maintain source structure/s with or without hierarchical relations. (Header, Detail)
 Maintain source fields for the source structures. Possible field types C,N,X, date, amount and packed filed with decimal places.
 Fields can be maintained individually or in table form or copy from other sources using upload from a text file
 Maintain relationship between source and target structures.
 Maintain Field mapping and conversion rules
 For each Target field the following information is displayed:
 o Field description
 o Assigned source fields (if any)
 o Rule type (fixed value, translation etc.)
 o Coding.
 o Some fields are preset by the system & are marked with Default setting.
 Maintain Fixed values, translations, user defined routines Here reusable rules can be processed like assigning fixed values, translation definition etc.
 Specify Files
 o Legacy data location on PC / application server
 o File for read data ( extension .lsm.read)
 o File for converted data (extension .lsm.conv)
 Assign Files to defined source structures
 Read data Can process all the data or part of data by specifying from / to transaction numbers.
 Display read data To verify the input data being read
 Convert Data Data conversion happens here, if data conversion program is not up to date, it gets regenerated automatically.
 Display converted data To verify the converted data
Import Data Based on the object type selected
 Standard Batch input or Recording
 o Generate Batch input session
 o Run Batch input session
 Standard Direct input session
 o Direct input program or direct input transaction is called
BAPI / IDOC Technique:
 IDOC creation
 o Information packages from the converted data are stored on R/3 Database.
 o system assigns a number to every IDOC.
 o The file of converted data is deleted.
 IDOC processing
 o IDOCS created are posted to the corresponding application program.
 o Application program checks data and posts in the application database.
Finally Transport LSMW Projects:
 R/3 Transport system
 o Extras ->Create change request
 o Change request can be exported/imported using CTS
 Export Project
 o Select / Deselect part / entire project & export to another R/3 system
 Import Project
 o Exported mapping / rules can be imported through PC file
 o Existing Project data gets overwritten
 o Prevent overwriting by using
 Import under different name
 Presetting for Inbound IDOC processing not transportable.
One Last thing, Check in BD64 is the Distribution model is Active for Profit Center.
Cheers...

Dear Eugene,
What do you mean? What is the report?

Profit Center Accounting-Transfer of Accounts payable/Receivable

Dear All,
in our company SAP was implemented in 2005 . Now we configurd PCA and transfering the Ending balance of Accounts Payable/Recivable ( Transaction 1KEK). System only select the invoices which were posted in last month ( Feb,2009) and ignore all the open invoices which were posted before Feb,2009.
Please advise me, How I'm able to post the ending balance of Accounts payable/Recivable on respective profit center.

Hi
The transaction 1KEK is specific to a period. The first box that you would provide the period and then the year. Subsequently you will be providing the fiscal year. So only the entries for Feb 2009 will be going over to PCA. If there were any entries subsequent to the execution of 1KEK, you need to execute it again in order that the delta entries make it to PCA.
You transfer payables and receivables to Profit Center Accounting in the course of normal period‑closing activities.You can transfer payables and receivables as often as you wish, since the system deletes previously transferred data before each new transfer.
Hope this clarifies. Else please get back.

DOC Splitting in New GL and Profit center accounting activation

Dear All,
I am in a dilemma regarding the following -
We are activating doc splitting with profit center and segment as characteristics.
1) While maintaining Controlling area settings(OKKP) - do we need to activate "Profit Center Accounting" component?
2) Similarly, in IMG-Controlling - Profit Center Accounting- Basic Settings-Controlling Area Settings-Maintain Controlling Area Settings (0ke5), do we need to maintain any settings?
I am of the opinion that ,based on the SAP Note - 826357, that we need not activate PC accounting as it is built into New GL Accounting.
I am also of the opinion, again based on the note, that we can use classic PC accounting, but the note recommends and I quote
we do not recommend you do this on a long-term basis due to the increased data volume and the increased time and effort required, and in the case of active document splitting, the update response changes.
But I am not able to come to a conclusion.
In earlier implementations, I activated PC accounting in OKK5 in New GL doc split scenario. So keeping that in mind, pl guide me.
Thanks & regards,
Gov

Activate Profit Center Accounting with Splitter in SPL / New GL

...............New G/L go live date.....................Migration Point (after this cannot post back)
...............I<--old G/L--
>I
...............I..(using old G/L till Migration).........I
I--I>---
...............I...................................................I
...............I...................................................I
...............07/01/2011
...............PCA (activating it with splitter)
We are Public Sector and are on ECC 6.0, we have been splitting Document based on Business Area and Fund. Before migrating to New GL functionality, we are also thinking to use the feature of document splitting with characteristic profit center. To do that we are thinking of the two following scenarios, but want to understand the possibility, the benefits and impact on the system
Scenario A. Activating Profit Center Accounting with Splitter in Special Purpose Ledger on the GO-live date and populate Profit Center field in Classical G/L.
Scenario B. Activating Profit Center Accounting with Splitter In New G/L on the GO-live date and populate Profit Center field in New G/L.

Yes, I understand that (ours too). Based on your diagram, migration will be some time after 7/1/2011.
Actually, I think what SAP recommends is complete migration before opening the new FY for posting. In any case, if you want to add a new split characteristic and you are already using SPL, I think it is better to add it to SPL before NewGL migration because SAP handles migration with SPL and without SPL (from classic GL) differently. With SPL is a lot more straight forward.

Internal-Profit Center Accounts Receivables/Payables

Dear All,
Within a single Company Code, Profit Center 1 is assigned to Plant 1 while Profit Center 2 is assigned to Plant 2. To track inter-divisional revenues and costs between Profit Center 1 & 2 during stock transfer, Transfer Pricing will be activated using Profit Center Valuation in Profit Center Accounting.
Only Legal Valaution is turned on in FI. No Profit Center Valuation will be turned in FI.
We understand that Inter-divisional Accounts Receivables/Payables can be generated for Profit Centers if these Profit Centers belong to 2 different company codes.
Thus we would like to clarify if Inter-divisional Accounts Receivables/Payables can be generated in the scenario within a Company Code where Profit Center is assigned to Plant 1 while Profit Center 2 is assigned to Plant 2?
Prompt respose is appreciated!
Million Thanks in Advance!

Dear Suraj,
I realiee appreciate your prompt response.
I have been reading SAP HELP and forums. The internal-divisional AR/AP scenario between Profit Centers are usually between 2 Plants and 2 Company Codes.
We understand that we can Define Account Determination for Internal Goods Movements for P/L Accounts in PCA for Internal Revenues, Internal Change in Stock and Delivery from Profit Center.
Would you please give us some pointers where and how internal-divisional AR/AP between Profit Centers within a Company Code can be configured in IMG?
Regards

Here the PC is general Plant level PC now I want to distribute this posting to the vendor account to the other PC. How this can be done?
the same query for Asset and material reconcilition posting.
Please let me knwo if more information is required.

Hello,
Thanks for the reply.
in my company Plant and Profit center is mapped on one to one basis. now we are reengineering the profit center hierarchy as Plant and product group combination.
now come to the example the material purchase entry. Here the material is updated with the common profit center at plant level which we need to distrubute to the other profit center (which is created as product group and plant combination) in period end closing activities with the decided allocation %. This we are doing for generating Balance Sheet at Profit Center Level (which is now a combination Plant and Product Group)
Now I am not able to run Distribution with FAGLGA3*. Please guide how to run distribution for Reconciliation account like Vendor, Asset and Material.?
Please let me know if more information is requried.

Difference between Business area and profit center accounting

Hi Frnds,
Can any body explain about difference between business area and profit center accounting .

Hi
Business area will have many profit centers. For example Vehicle is a business area in a company. Vehicle can be cars and Bikes etc. Here Vehicle is business area and Cars and Bike are profit centers. In broad Vehicle is a profit center. But as it has sub areas those are profit centers. So profit centers cannot be replaced with business area and vice versa. We can replace business area by Profit centre, only condition is that it should be in same controlling area. The business area is more like a business unit of a company. You can have multiple profit centers within a business area.
Main distinguish factor is that distribution and assessment in possible in profit center but not in business area.
One more distinction is that Business area need not be attached to any organisation structure. But profit centres can be created only under the controlling area. Business area can be across controlling area.
Business area concept is used for making stragic decisions by the management whereas the primary purpose of profit centre accounting is responsibility accounting.

Origin Object Type for Plant Maintenance Orders in Profit Center Accounting

Hi,
I want to make a selection for plant maintenance orders in transaction KE5Z, report for line items in Profit Center Accounting. When checking possible input options for the selection field Origing Object Type the system shows value 15 for Maintenance Orders. However I discovered in our system the maintenance orders are reported as Origing Object Type 03, which is Overhead Orders according to the selection list. So I cannot distinguish between overhead orders and maintenance orders in this report.
What is the cause our maintenance orders are assigned to Origin Object Type 03 in stead of 15 and what is the customizing transaction to correct this ?

Looks like, this is no longer supported. Refer to note 168004 and 102434.
Cause and prerequisites
These functions were not programmed to meet the above requirements.
As of Release 4.0, the object type is transferred directly.
Solution
Once you have implemented the advance correction. the origin object type 'Overhead cost order' (03) is assigned irrespective of what is the SCOPE for orders.
As a result of implementing this note or as of Release 4.6B, the order category distinguishes between overhead cost orders and production orders in the origin object type. In this case, the following origin object types result (as described above in 1.):
Order category 04 to 10, 40 => 04 (production order)
All other order categories => 03 (overhead cost order)
The logic that the origin object type was set depending on the object class (as described above in 2.) is no longer supported. The object class can be evaluated separately in Reporting. -
The corrections of this note refer in Release 4.0B to the corrections from Note 102434.
