System picking default Profit center as dummy profit center

Hi all,
when ever i posted a docuemnt with selected profit center by defualt system picking dummy profit center where i need to set pick selected profit center manually.
Kiran

HI,
System may be picking up the dummy profit center from configuration which is overwriting your manual entry.
eg: Substitutions in FI,  profit center derivation (3KEI) etc.,
Check your configuration.
Also, read through the link for better understanding of profit center determination:

  • Entries hitting only to the dummy profit center

    Hi All,
    While doing the PCA configuration I have created the 3 profit centers & 1 dummy profit center and the same is assigned in controlling area settings also but the problem is while posting the entries in any one of these 3 profit centers by default system is picking dummy profit center ABCD by giving  message "Profit center was set to ABCD" which is a dummy profit center.
    I have assigned the related profit center in cost center master data also.
    Looking for the solution.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Ravi,
    Thanks for your reply.
    In 3KEH,I have assigned the account from 1000000 to 2500200 with default profit center Hyderabad but by default the entries are hitting to dummy profit center ABCD.
    In OKB9, i have assigned Gl 4200030 which is a revenue gl in co code and account assignment detail 3 (Profit center is mandatory).
    Still the entries are hitting to the dummy profit center.
    Thanks

  • Deletion or deactivation of Dummy Profit center in ECC 6.0

    Dear Experts,
      How do I delete or deactivate dummy pofit center.
    Regards,
    David

    HI,
    Dummy Profit Center is a must with Classic Profit Center Accounting, so no question of deletion/de-activation of Dummy PC.
    The dummy profit center is the default profit center to which data is posted when the corresponding object has not been assigned to a profit center. If you have PCA active and any of your posting results in not being able to derive Profit Center, then system posts to this default Profit center called 'Dummy Profit center'.
    Learn more on 'Dummy Profit Center' from this link:

  • Dummy  Profit Center Issue

    Dear Sap gurus,
    while i am posting odocument i am giving cost center and profit center is (1011 is pc) but system takes default profit center like dummy profit center.
    Regards
    Naidu

    Hi,
    a) When you are entering the cost centre in a line item the profit centre assigned to cost centre would be defaulted.
    Please check the profit centre in the Cost centre master data.
    b) Check 3KEI for any derivation rule maintained.
    c) check substitution rule if any being used through GGB4

  • Dummy Profit Center in Accumulated Dep.

    Hi All
    In my companies we still have 4.7 version of sap with report based on profit center accounting. Now we are facing problem that when we run the depreciation system transfer the Accumulated Depreciation to Dummy profit center rather in the profit center which is assigned to cost center.
    Can some one tell us what can be the reason of it.
    Regards ...

    Deepak,
    You will have to define which profit centre the Accumulated Depreciation should be posted to in 3KEH

    Hi Tran,
    Dummy Profit Center
    In SAP, we need to create a dummy profit center when you activate profit center. It is mandatory. This dummy profit center gets values when the system could not find regular profit center in its attempt. We need to configure the system such a way, there is no posting into dummy profit center. Or otherwise, by mistake, if it gets posting, the same have to be post PCA documents to clear them. Then only we get balanced Profit Center wise statement of income or balance sheet.
    Dummy Cost Center
    There is no such term in SAP and there is no need to use any of the cost center as dummy cost center. Only very few companies use some cost center for making accounting adjustments and shall not be allocated to other cost objects including products, I think that it is better that we need not such term in our consulting and practice of Controlling.
    Trust this answers your query!

    Hi,
    Transfer within PCA - from 1 PC to Dummy PC
    - Use Distribution/Assessment Cycles 3KE5/4KE5
    - this would not reduce Gl balance; happens in PCA module only
    Transfer within FI - from 1 PC to Dummy PC
    - post a new journal with correct PC assignemtn
    - this would reduce the gl balance

  • 1KEK posting the reversal documents to dummy profit centre.

    Hi expertise,
    First let me explain the scenario.
    Through FB60, I posted a document as per the below:
    Doc date : 23.07.2007, Period: 8, Posting date : 17.08.2007, Doc type : KR.
    PK    Account            Profit Centre       Amount
    31    14898 - Vendor                            164.20-
    40    46200 - Exp        285620              149.27
    40    84100 - GST       285620               14.93
    I run the 1KEK transaction for period 8 after running F.5D and it posted the vendor balance payable 164.20 to profit centre 285620 correctly.
    Then I reversed the above posted entry on 30.08.2007 , period 9 through FB08 with reversal reason 02. The accounting entry are as follows:
    PK    Account            Profit Centre       Amount
    22    14898 - Vendor                            164.20
    50    46200 - Exp        285620              149.27-
    50    84100 - GST       285620                14.93-
    When I run the 1KEK again for period 9 after running F.5D, the system posted the the vendor balance 164.20 ( debit balance ) to Dummy Profit Centre.
    Now my question is why the system posted the vendor balance to dummy profit centre but to the real profit centre 285620.
    Waiting for fast solution. Points will be awarded.

    Hi
    It seems that New GL is active in your system. Hence the system is populating the DUMMY Profit center. If you have sepearate excise accounts for every plant and every profit center is also a plant, you can define a default profit center to excise accounts for every plant through 3KEH. If the GL account is same for all plants, you can create a suitable Substitution Rule. The T code for the same is GGB1 and assign this to your company code through OBBH.

  • Activating Dummy profit centers.

    Hi Gurus,
    We have a problem.
    Our user has created a PO and while MIGO, system picks up Profit center as Dummy Profit Center and not the PC from Material Master.
    Dummy PC is not assigned to any segment and neither activated hence sys throws error that "Segment not assigned in Part I entry"
    My question is, can we activate the Dummy PC?? What are the pros and cons for the same??

    Hello!
    Please check if you have activate the enhancement PPCO0006, and also refer to the following note for more information:
    150959 Profit center is incorrect in production order
    I hope that this information is of some assistance.
    best regards!

    Hi, to find bugs like these is always "triggy" and I am afraid that there are no easy solutions!
    You could try to go in TC GGB1 - go down to the substitution in "Create sales order" and there "activate total trace" or perhaps Expert trace - set breakpoint. After you done those go in and create the sales order again in the same session.
    In order to be successful here ... will you need the help of an ABAP'er.
    I believe the error to be related to master data as itu2019s usually are u2026 but sometimes are there a bug in the system.
    Good luck

  • Picking Dummy Profit center in GL simulation

    Hi,

    1st pass
    Vendor A/c Dr
    to Bank Clearing Cr.
    In this bank clearing will inherit profit center from the vendor you are clearing.
    Then you pass
    Bank Clearing Dr
    To Bank Cr. In this bank will inherit profit center from bank clearing account. Hope in second entry you are posting as well as clearing the bank clearing account.
    Also check
    SPRO > Financial Accounting > General Ledger Accounting > Business Transaction > Document Splitting > Activate Document Splitting
    Make sure that "inheritance" is checked.

  • Automatic Posting accounts are posting to Dummy Profit center....

    Hi experts....
    We are configured New GL
    Generally we are creating Customer Invoice (T. Code: VA02) and
    Vendor Invoice (T Code. MIRO) for WBS Element only. While posting the
    customer/Vendor Invoice System is not checking that CO Object (WBS
    Element) in main line item (Sales/GRIR) as well as Automatic Account
    assignment setting (T. code: OKB9). System is showing the Error. If
    that G/L Account is not a cost element then system is posting to DUMMY
    Profit Center in place profit center assign to that WBS Element
    Requirement:
    We need to post tax and Customer/Vendor line items in document
    against WBS Element which should be picked up from Sales/GRIR Line Item
    of the same document. If there is no CO Object (WBS Element/Cost
    Center) in Sales/GRIR line item in document then based on Automatic
    Account assignment configuration (Valuation Area is Mandatory) system
    has to post to Cost Center/Profit Center
    We are not maintained any derivation rule of PC & Edit Constants for Nonassigned Processes in New gl config. then also system posting to Dummy PC only.
    We can delete that dummy?
    or any configuration changes needs for it. plz give me ur valuable suggestions
    Please Do needful
    Thanks

    Hi,
    You have to maintain Dummy profit center, it is mandatorily for configuring profit center accounting . If u have not maintain Default profit center to that cost element, it will directly flow to Dummy Profit center. Better to maintain default profit center and u cannot delete  the Dummy profit center.
