The Design of Profit Center Code

Dear SAP Gurus,
In the design of profit center code, you can design a profit center code that is common across all company codes by flagging the company code assignment in KE51. Alternatively, you can also design a company code specific profit center code. Unlike profit center accounting, this kind of feature is not available in cost center accounting.
If you would to design your profit center codes in this manner, you can no longer in use of all standard pca reports because there is no company code selection criteria when executing the reports. This is quite inconsistent with the above featute in pca. You can definitely customize your pca reports by bringing in the company code as selection criteria.
Besides it will help you to reduce the number of profit center codes, can anyone share of any other rationales or pros/cons of designing a common profit center code across all company codes? Thanks in advance for your help.
Cheers,
Rebi

Dear SAP Gurus,
Anyone has any inputs for my question?
To elaborate further, here is the example of my question:
a. When designing profit center code PC1, you can create the code as PC1 and flag it as applicable to company code 1000, 2000
and 3000 in KE51
b. Alternatively, you can design company specific profit center code of 1000PC1, 2000PC1 and 3000PC1.
I need your help to share with me the pros and cons of the above 2 options. Thanks in adavance for your help.
Cheers,
Rebi

We are trying to delete one of the hierarchies for profit center

We are trying to delete one of the hierarchies for profit center.
The purpose is that this hierarchy group has become obsolete but still appears in the portal in the input selection screen.
Will the deletion of a hierarchy impact the bookmarks which consists that hierarchy?
If any one has tried this before just let us know.
Thanks in advance.

It doesn't effect any boomarks that has the obsolete structure.

Not allowing the change of profit center on sales orders.

Good afternoon everyone,
I am wondering if anyone has come across the need to not allow the changing of profit centers on sales orders. We do not want our CSR to have the ability to change the profit center from what is automatically populated on the sales order.
Thanks,
Matthew Fee

Hi,
Yes this is possible
Go to T-Code SHD0 and use the transaction -va01 & screen variant BUS2032 .
and go to details . Now select the field you want to use and put tick on "output only". this will refer that the mentioned fields are not while creating sales order .
Hope this will resolve your problem

Lock the periods in Profit center Accounting

Hi all,
Does SAP any latest or old versions support a transaction code for locking periods in Profit center accounting like example in FI - transaction code OB52 or in CO - transaction code OKP1 .
If you see transaction code OKP1 then it shows locking periods monthwise. I am looking for a transaction code which supports similarly to OKP1 for profit center accounting.
Please let me know. Thanks for your help.
Ramesh Choragudi

Hi
Profit center / cost center are generally entered in revenue & expense line items (P&L items). Customer / vendor master and line items are balance sheet items which will not show profit / cost centers.

Profit Center population in the Vendor and Customer Line items

hello
our client is asking for getting profit center in the vendor and customer line items where in the view FBL5n and fbl1n we are not getting the profit center populated - in the new gl i understand that there is a standard report based on the gl account.
but our business is not satisfied with the report and expecting report at profit center level.
Can any one suggest any way of doing this.
regards,
Vijay

Dear Vijay,
Let me provide you my view of solutioning for this. This is an enahcement that needs to be done
1. You can get the profit center from the given vendor and customer line item at the time of posting, using an enahcement you will be able to capture it.
2. Existing the profit center field is not populated in the BSIK,BSAK,BSID and BSAD tables
3. Hence, in the same enhancement once you capture the profit center , you can write the code that profit center is updated in these tables also.
4. This will help you to do the vendor line item wise selection in the FBL1N, FBL5N profit center wise.
Constraints of this solution:
The only constraint remains where in the for a given document if there are multiple profit center, then the system will do the splitting profit center wise for a vendor line item, which will not populate the profit center in those tables as there is only one field available in the bsid etc.. tables.
This basically would be the one the soltuion where in as seeen from the end user ther eis no change in the front end interface , the way they are doing always they can do.
You need to also take care the % of document splitting means cross profit center postings /cross document splitting charactericstics postings and the volume involved in this. so that you can suggest this to your client.

Bharathi.

Authorization object for company code and profit center together

Hi all,
Please help me with the following requirement..
Company Code = ABCD
Profit Center = *
The user is authorized to run the report for company code ABCD only but any profit center within this company code.
2 Company Code = *
Profit Center = WXYZ
The user is authorized to run the report for Profit Center WXYZ only but any company code.
3 Company Code = *
Profit Center = *
The user is authorized to run the report for any company code and profit center.
The same user could have 1 and 2. So, in this case he should be able to run a report for the total inventory of company code ABCD, and a report for total inventory of profit center WXYZ only regardless company code.
He should not have visibility to other company codes inventory other then profit center WXYZ.

NEW GL: profit center allocation cross company codes possible?

F-Hi,
In PCA the allocations are postes by company code - also the tracing factors are calculated by company code. In NEW GL, can the profit center allocation (transaction FAGLGA11) be done cross company, including the calculation of the tracing factors. Here is my example.
profit center     Company code     cost center     Posted amounts
P00010     02                           200010     1.000,00
P00010     03                           300010     2.000,00
P00010     05                           500010     4.000,00
P00010 Total                                   7.000,00
P40100     02                          240100        10,00
P40100     03                           340100         5,00
P40100     05                          540100         5,00
P40100 Total                                       20,00
P40200     02                           240200        20,00
P40200     03                           340200        30,00
P40200     05                           540200        20,00
P40200 Total                                       70,00
Purpose of the cycle in PCA:
Split the amount of profit center P00010 on to P40100 and P40200
with a ratio of what is posted already on those 2, cross company
So we should expect to split the 7.000 in to
     20/(20+70) from 7.000 = 1.555 for P40100
     70/(20+70) from 7.000 = 5.445 for P40200
But the program allocates by company code:
split     1.000     by ratio 10/20
     2.000     by ratio 5/30
     4.000     by ratio 5/20
OR, because we are in NEW GL, is the solution a rollup ledger with a global company code?
Thanks
Yves Kieckens

Hi,
I have sent an OSS message and they replied that it is not possible. There is a note about classic PCA indicating that cross company is not possible, and the same concept is valid for NEW GL.
I haven't done the solution via rollup ledger because not enough experience in my network.
We have done some specific programming in the upload of the statistical key figures as a workaround solution.

Profit Center Value in the Purchase Order Pricing

Dear Friends
I am stuck at a process design step and I need your help to proceed further.
We have created a new Condition type in MM Purchasing to display the charges incurred towards the inward freights.
These freight costs vary depending on the Profit center. ( The Profit Center is already included in the Communication Structure KOMP) So We have Profit center field included as one of the field in the Table and in access sequence.
The Profit center is visible in the item data of the Purchase order in the Account Assignment Tab Page Under Item Details section.
But this value is stored in EKKN & not in EKKO or EKPO
I have created condition records also.
Now when I create a PO the value is not picked from the condition records. When i looked at Pricing analysis the value for Profit center is Blank.
So Kindly advice me how can i get the value of the Profit center in the condition records.
Thanks & Regards
Srinivas

Hi,
We have a similar scenario with the order type and we created a new field as ZZBSART in the field catalogue.
included the ZZBSART in to the communciation structure KOMG so that it will be available in the KOMK structure.
After that, some coding have to be written in the user exit J_117_USEREXIT_FILL_KOMK_KOMP.
Sample coding for Vendor region
Select single regio into XKOMK - regio
Where LIFNR = XKOMK LIFNR
Try with this and let me know if you have any issues.

Transaction code: 9KE0 - Posting with Dummy profit center

Hi All,
We have an issue with transation 9KE0, While posting any adjustment entries with single line item, system automaticaly creating second line item few times. We were unable to find the reason why it is creating second line for few documents?
Our requirement is that those entries should have only one line item in transaction 9KE0. Most of the cases we were able to post the document with single line item.
We are using almost 100 co.codes for our client.
For ex: if we post one entry in co.code 1000 through transaction 9KE0 with single item, system posting with one lineitem.
But some times for the same co.code with same parameters if we post one line item, second line item automatically creating with dummy profit center while posting.
Please let us know why the system is creating two line items.
Awaiting for your replies.
Thanks in Advance
Prasad

Hi,
We have further analyzed this issue and found that, whenever the amount in field(KSL -Amount in profit center local currency) is ZERO, System it is creating second line item with dummy profit center.
ex:1
proft cenert        account         amount in co.code cur    amount in profit center local currency
9999                    100000             - 0.13                                 00
dummy                 100010               0.13                                 00
ex:2
proft cenert        account         amount in co.code cur    amount in profit center local currency
9999                    100000             - 3.13                                 1
we have verified the values in GLPCA table also... whenever the tech field KSL-Amount in profit center local currency is zero system creating two line items.
Please suggest us is there a solution to stop the second line item even the amount in profit center local currency field (Tech name -KSL) is Zero
Awaiting for your suggestions.
Thanks in advance
