STOP POSTING TO PROFIT CENTER BY VALIDATION RULE

Dear all gurus, I am being asked by my user how to stop posting into a profit center.After searching the forum, i found an answer :"For blocking the posting to profit center, use validation rule with a check that (Profit Center=12345)->FALSE"
I do not know how it works. Can any gurus please share with me step by step in details?
Please help i am really need this solution as soon as possible and many thanks in advance for the help rendered.
Best regards,
Yew

Hello,
You need to create the validation in GGB0
You will have pre-requisite, check and message.
Then assign the validation rule in OB28.

With holding tax posting to Profit center

Hi ,
when we create vendor invoice ,withholding tax line items will come by default by assing accounts for automatic postings .so how to set these accounts automatically posted to profit center.
thnaks in advance

Hi,
If you are working with ECC 6.0, through document splitting it is possible. Through the GL account in the transaction, system automatically derive profit center for WHT line items also.
Try once, assign points if useful.

Profit center and Distrbution Rule

Is there any difference between profit center and distribution rule, or they are the same thing?
Thanks

Hi,
This question belongs to main forum. These two concepts are different. Distribution Rule is only a rule to distribute costs or revenues. You may find the online help as follows:
A profit center is a company unit or division that performs a specific business function.
For costs and revenues that can be assigned directly to a profit center, you define a direct distribution rule. When you create a profit center, SAP Business One automatically defines a distribution rule with the same name and code as the profit center. This distribution rule cannot be changed. The default values of the rule are: direct debit, and factor 100 for a total value of 100.
When it is not possible to determine the profit center to which to assign the costs and revenues, you can define an indirect distribution rule.
If it is not practical or possible to distribute indirect costs as soon as they are incurred, you can assign the costs to a "zero profit center" and then distribute them by running reports and evaluations at regular intervals.
Thanks,
Gordon

How to prevent the system to post without Profit Center

Hi All,
SAP has posted some transactions without profit center being filled, which is causing issue to our profit center reporting.
How can we force the system not to post the document without profit center and how to correct the existing one?
Regards,
Servesh

Hi,
You can pass on the exiting documents to the profit center accounting using transaction code 1KE8
For forcing the system to check profit center, please apply OSS note 1249888:-
[https://websmp130.sap-ag.de/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/sapnotes/index2.htm?numm=1249888]
Alternatively, you can define validations. But best is to use this OSS note.

Query on GR/IR Clearing - does Not post to Profit Center.

Pl refer the business scenario given below.
Request your help on the following.
Situation: For a given Purchase Order, GR (MIGO) is done. But IR (MIRO) is not yet done.
The FI entries are :
1. Dr. Stock valuation a/c
Cr. Gr/ir clearing a/c
2. At the period end, when we do the GR/IR clearing (F.19) (prog : RFWERE00) for such a PO system will posting the following entry:
Dr. Gr/ir -recd not invoiced
Cr. Delivered but not Invoiced a/c
The second entry is reversed at the beginning of next month.
Issue:
the first entry is posted with a Profit Center.
While the second entry carries the dummy PC (maintained in 3KEH)
requirement:
The second entry should carry the PC of the original entry.
Thanks
Jai

Hi Ramesh.
Thanks for the response
1. Why doesn't this happen automatically? (is it a standard sap behaviour not to post on the Profit Center of the Original entry)
2. I had checked substitutions. But this seems to be for Sales Orders rather than for GR /IR. Moreover we have over 100 Profit centers and Business areas..So this seems impractical at this point in time.
Pl give your comments/inputs.
Regards,
Jai

Hi Viral
Is the Profit Center Mandatory in document splitting for your implementation ?
If yes,
then check the link below
http://sapfin.blogspot.com/2009/06/issuesolution-accounting-document.html
If pofit center is mandatory and the original document was posted without a profit center,
You would need to contact SAP to get the original document corrected,
and follow the steps in the above link to prevent further occurrence of such cases.

Depreciation Posting to Profit center

Hi,
My project has one of the company code which has 15 profit centers. Against these profit centers there are 6 common cost centers. The requirement is to get profit center wise P&L statement.
The issue is, how can I post my depreciation to profit centers. As there are only 6 cost centers defualt assignment of profit centers cannot be given in cost center master data.
Example: Electrical is one of the profit center. The assets of this will have a Admin cost center. Hence at the time of AFAB, the depreciation amount will got to ADMIN cost center but how will it flow to Electrical profit center.
Let me know the solution for the same.
Thanks & Regards,
Ajay Gupte

Hi Ajay
In the Asset master, you can either put a cost centre (1) or Internal order (2)
(1) In the Cost centre master data, you can only assign one Profit centre, so you will need at least 15 cost centres assigned to the 15 Profit centres.
(2) Internal orders are usually the 'real' posting and this can be settled periodically to cost centre/s by a % if more than one cost centre. This in turn will post automatically to the relevant Profit centre as stipulated in the CC master data.
You also need to check online transfer to be ticked in transaction 1KEF which will ensure Profit centre update from the cost centre.
Hope this helps

Problems during GL posting in profit center

Hi experts
Here I m facing a problem while doing revenue posting thru F-02,(I created a primary cost element with 11 ) when I entering profit center in field during document entries,a massege comming that"Enter a true account assignment object with revenues"
Message no. KI166
Diagnosis
You made an account assignment for 30001, a revenue element, in controlling area B001 to a cost center or profit center.
System Response
Cost centers and profit centers can carry revenues in the R/3 System as statistics only. To ensure reconciliation between FI and CO for revenue element 30001, a CO account assignment object must record the revenues as a real value. This object type is used for updating to the reconciliation ledger.
In principle, it's possible for the R/3 System to automatically derive this CO account assignment object, the reconciliation object. However, all postings made in CO for costing-based Profitability Analysis are logged in the reconciliation ledger under "reconciliation object". In this manner, the reconcilation ledger identifies the exact values flowing into the operating profit. If you post reconciliation objects during revenue postings to cost centers or profit centers, you must do so while keeping the interpretation of the reconciliation ledger reports in mind. The sums of revenue postings to profitability segments, cost centers, and profit centers cannot be broken down further.
Kindly help
Thanks

Hi,
On a cost center you have costs! In the cost center is possible to block Actual revenues (KS02)
When you post revenue on a cost center you have to see it as negative costs and use cost element type 01.
11 you are using for CO-PA and FLEX (RE)

Third party sales revenue getting posted to Profit Center valuation in COPA

Hi,
We have activate profit center valuation for our operating concern.
During normal OTC cycle (third party sales), all the data is flowing correctly in legal view for the COPA document
In profit center valuation, only revenue is flowing and no other values like discounts, standard costs are flowing to Profit center valuation view
My question why only revenue is flowing and not any other values. Is this way system should behave
Thanks.

If you have created new GL Accounts to map the Third party scenario, the pre-requesite is that you might need to create cost elemenet with category 11 or 12.
Further only assignments are condition types assigned to value fields.
Check if the billing type is reset under TCode KE4W.

Profit center Validation

Dear All,
I have a requirement in which suppose in FB60, I have multiple line items then the system should not allow me to post multiple line items into distinct profit centers.
If line litem 1 is posted to profit center "1000"
System should not allow to post line item 2,3,4 in profit center "2000" or any other except PC 1000
How can i use Validation rule for the same?
I have tried using the logic in GGB0 -
Prerequisite - Line item - 001 and Profit center - 1000
Check - Line item - 002 and profit center - 1000
Message - Different profit centers are not allowed in multiple line items (Error Message)
Activated the same in OB28
But it's not working and system is allowing me to post to distinct PC.
Kindly Suggest
Regards,
Prashant

Hi again, itu2019s the u201CNever ending storyu201D between business and the IT department!
Some business controllers want to intensify the automatic quality control of especially manual postings in SAP. Basically they want to improve the quality in the reporting by built in u201Cpolice controlsu201D in the system that will enforce the accounting logic and reporting principles!
The user in a u201Cfar a-way countryu201D does not understand these requirements and just wants to post a journal.
It is of course possible to build these kinds of controls using validations, substitutions, modifications, user-exits, sets and z-tables. The problem is that very few users, super-users, consultants etc understand the big picture of what is happening inside such a system and sometimes does they by accident jeopardise a table, transport a set, a changed table entry or something like that u2013 coursing the system to go down until somebody is able to restore the controls.
The problem with automatic u201Cpolice controlsu201D are that it can have a great impact on system performance u2013 causing the system to slow down significantly. A simple validation does u201Cnot make a summeru201D, but suddenly is there a major performance problem.
Personally do I think that you should create a query/ABAP to the requestor that finds these u201Cfaultyu201D postings! The requestor should then call the responsible person in order to educate the responsible user in how to posting should have been and then ask the responsible user to reverse the faulty posting themselves.

A material document was posted to a Profit Center that didn't exist yet

Material document 4900876825 posted to profit center
P102925892 on 1/26/07. According to the master data record it wasn't created
until 1/31/07. This caused an FDM issue.
How is this possible?
There is an include program in FI_DOCUMENT_PROJECT which calls the function module Z_GET_PDC_PLANT. Apparently, this function module does not contain any logic for checking if whether the "formulated" profit center is valid or not (or the FM did not use function KE_PROFIT_CENTER_CHECK to validate profit center).

Good luck, Apple tends to treat suggestions as their own property, though

Profit center balance sheet derivation rules

i have maintain both settings while i am posting documents cost & revenues accounts derives pca automatically ,but balance sheet items are not derives automatically .
is there any additional settings need for balance sheet accounts .
is there any difference between - 3KEH & FAGL3KEH

Hi
In the IMG Step "Activate Document Splitting", did you tick "Inheritance"
Also, assign FIN_PCA scenario to the ledgers...
Check FAGLL03 for the balance sheet account after posting a transaction once you ensure the above config
