SRM PO profit center addition

Question

Hi All;
We have extended classic scenario in our project. So approved & complete shopping carts are automatically converted into PO. Now the client is asking to add profit center for certain type of indirect expenses as they have to be assigned to a profit center. So the question is:-
1) Can we add a field for profit center in shopping cart creation? If yes; how?
2) Can we link the requirement for updation of profit center to any element in shopping cart? If yes; is it a configuration or a BADI?
3) Do we need any configuration on ECC side for this? i.e. while replicating SRM PO to ECC?

Answer 1

Hello,
Regarding your question 1), in template SAPLBBP_PDH_ACC_1000_1 (BBPACCOUNT Internet Service), you can find some comments, like:
<!-- following line has to be activated if customer wants to have profit center on screen-->
<!--      if (j==1|| j==2 || j==3 ||  j==5 || j==6 || j==7 || j==8 || j==9  );-->
          TD(TC_1000-column[j].title); 
     end;
and
<!-- following line has to be activated if customer wants to have profit center on screen-->
<! --   `TD()`                                                                               
`if (T_SCREEN_ACCLIST-PROFIT_CTR[j].disabled)`                         
            `T_SCREEN_ACCLIST-PROFIT_CTR[j].value`                               
          `else`                                                                 
            <input type=text                                                     
name="`T_SCREEN_ACCLIST-PROFIT_CTR[j].name`"                                     
value="`T_SCREEN_ACCLIST-PROFIT_CTR[j].value`" maxlength="10" size="10">         
          `end`  -->                                                              
So, if you uncomment this screen control, the profit center will appear in shopping cart screen. This field is displayed beside the "Business area" field.
