Use of profit center in Material master

Hello Consultants,
Kindly explain me the use of Profit center in material master in Sales General/Plant and Cisting 1 view?
Thanks,
SK

Hi,
Generally you use this field of profit center based on the organizational logic decided while implementing the SAP.
i.e. Suppose, you want to have your profit center with nomenclature as Site (Plant) + Line of Business (LOB). So, according to this logic you map the same line of business with External Merchandise category and concepts (according to your verticals of business). So, whenever you create any transactions related to this article (material), system will pick up profit center from this article master and for common profit center (for expenses such as service tax and other which needs to be done at common and after that distribute through assessment / disrtibution cycle).
Hope it will clear the purpose of the same from above example. Pls get back for further query.
Thanks & Regards,

  • Profit center in material master is not in MARC table

    Hi All,
    We have maintained profit center in Material master costing 1 screen but when I am checking it in MARC table I am not able to see profit center in MARC Table.
    Please tell me in which table this profit center data will sit.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    The field name of profit center in table MARC is MARC-PRCTR, maybe you should increase the width of output list in the selection screen when you use data browser of table; or from menu Settings>List Format>Choose Fields, then select field PRCTR to display, that will be okay!
    Good day

  • Changing a profit center on material master

    Dear,
      My user needs to Change the Profit Center on Material, and he sent to me the questions below:
      Could you please help me with these questions ?
      If that inventory is issued off the system, will it allow change?  If there are open orders (purchase, process, sales or transfer) will it allow change?  What are all the things that the logic is looking at?
    Thanks and regards,
    Orlando

    just think about it. do you use profit center accounting?
    As you maintain profit center, I assume the answer is yes.
    do you want accurate profit center accounting?
    if yes, then  never change the profit center while you have stock.
    ..because: you received the stock to profit center A. if you change the PC in material master, then the stock does not move to profit center B. but the next goods issue is recorded with profit center B.
    so at the end of the day, you have an amount at profit center A, which will never get removed. and you have an issue on profit center B for that you do not have a goods receipt.

    Hi
    I think you have written two substitution on one filed
    one is from the WBS element and another is from Material
    So one rule is overwriting now. i think it is taking value from Material but it is overwriting with past value ie from WBS
    Ask you abaper, after WBS rule your new rule should be trigger
    So that new rule will overwrite the old rule
    Advise : Dont keep contra entries like this, keep some if conditions

  • How to manage change of profit center in Material master?

    The material master of a number of materials were populated with wrong profit center. Transactions were also posted for a few years. Now we want to change the profit centers for some of the materials. These materials have inventory balances and is set for on line transfer to PCA. If we run 1KEH data is duplicated.
    What is the best way to manage this change?

    Hi Mr.Sanjay,
    Good Morning to you,
    Regarding your thread the best and easy way to change the profit center is goto MM02 and give the material code and enter and goto Sales: General/plant and in down you can see the Profit Center XXXXX now you change it to YYYYY and save it. So, from now onwards what ever the postings you do the system will show the values in YYYYY - Profit center.
    Hope you can solve your thread & for further clarrification feel free to ask me.
    Best Regards,

  • Error MM335 when trying to change profit center on material master record

    We are trying to change the profit center that is assigned on the u201CSales: general/plantu201D tab in the material master (same as what shows on the u201CCosting1u201D tab of the material master).
    The following error message appears:  u201CYou want to change the profit center but there are still material stocks u2013 Message no. MM335.u201D
    Our SAP version is SAP ECC 5.0 with support pack 19.
    This particular material that we are trying to change only exists within one plant and one storage location in SAP.
    I have done the following in order to try and resolve this issue:
    1. Removed all inventory from the inventory management and warehouse management side for the material.
    2. Closed all open purchase orders and process orders for the material.
    3. Looked at the MD04 screen to verify there are no outstanding documents for this material.
    I also searched for OSS notes and found note #1249513 which was applied to our sandbox environment.  This note did not fix our problem.
    I had a developer to debug the code that is being triggered upon making a profit center change.  Two important pieces of information he found is that the SAP code is:
    1. Looking to see if the u2018New G/Lu2019 is turned on and u2018profit centeru2019 is active in the new G/L.
    2. Looking to see if previous period stock exists for the material.
    The code is then setting a flag which causes the error message to appear.
    I have found other comments in the forum stating to change the error to a warning for message MM335.  I believe this is not the correct solution; as this would allow a change to a profit center even if stock exists, open orders exist, etc.  I also know we could trick the system by temporarily changing the message to a warning and sending that through to production, changing the material master and following up with a transport to change the message back to an error.  This would work, but we want a final resolution to this problem.
    I believe that 2 OSS notes that were included in our latest support pack upgrade has caused this problem.  Those notes are: 1057674 and 1106510.
    I plan on opening a note with SAP, but was wondering if any users have experienced this same problem after a recent support pack upgrade.
    Regards,
    JH

    Following is additional information regarding this problem.  We were able to successfully change the profit center on some of our materials by making sure there was no stock in previous period and current period (and no open sales orders, purchase orders, etc.).

  • Wrong Profit Center on Material document (Goods Receipt PO for Asset)

    Dear SAP Expert,
    When our company upgrade our SAP version from 4.6C to ECC6, all Profit Center on Material document (Goods Receipt on Purchase Order for Asset) is filled by profit center DUMMY.
    This condition not happend in our previous version (4.6C). Is there any new configuration on ECC6 for Asset Accounting?
    Many Thanks
    Maickel P

    Hi, Maickel:
    There is a setting for Dummy Profit Center, you can check in SPRO: Controlling->Profit Center Accounting->Master Data->Create Dummy Profit Center.
    And you can refer to the help of this IMG activity:
    Create Dummy Profit Center
    This function lets you create the dummy profit center for the current controlling area.
    The dummy profit center is updated in data transfers whenever the object to which the data was originally posted (cost center, order, and so on) is not assigned to a profit center. This ensures that the data in Profit Center Accounting is complete. You can later send the data on the dummy profit center to the other profit centers using assessment or distribution.
    You create the master record for the dummy profit center using this special transaction. To change or display it, use the normal profit center maintenance functions.
    The name of the dummy profit center is displayed in the controlling area settings for Profit Center Accounting.
    Prerequisites
    The standard hierarchy must exist for the current controlling area.
    Actions
    Enter the name of the dummy profit center. The rest of the steps are the same as when you create a normal profit center.
    Choose the function Extras -> Set controlling area first to make sure that the correct controlling area is set.
    Notes on transporting
    You can transport the Customizing settings for Profit Center Accounting under Transport Connection.

    (2) Go to OMS9 , Select Your Field Selection Group and Press Details Button. This Field would be optional. Now check a mandatory selection Group in this screen.

    HI Werner,
    Based on Note 684659
    Question 10:
    "Why aren't the correct profit centers derived from the account assignment objects?"
    Response[1]:
    You first have to maintain the account assignment objects as described in the response for question.
    Action:
    I Already assign account assignment object PS_PSP_PNR "WBS Element of Investment Project", transaction type '*', account assignment type 'APC Values Posting' because our transaction is using WBS element as an account assignment on purchase order.
    (Before I assign this account assignment object on t-code ACSET all transaction for asset which account assignment using WBS element doesn't generate controlling document on GR process)
    Response[2]:
    You also have to make sure that the profit center is ready for input in the field status of the account and the posting key.
    Question:
    Where I have to check this condition?
    Please check the field status of the account FS00 if Profit Center and Cost Center maintained optional.
    Action:
    I Already check on "FS00 - Edit cost element" and found that "Default account assignment" is blank

  • Change profit centre in material master

    Dear all,
    How to change profit centre in material master with stock(opening balance - 561 stock ?
    What are implications of changing profit centre in material master ?
    Jeyakanthan

    In standard SAP it is possible to change the profit center at any time.
    However this will create inconsistencies in your profit center accounting. Hence you should issue all stock first to a cost center with 201 movement, then change the profit center, then get the material back with 202 movement.
    You need to make MM335 message an error message in OMT4 to allow a change only if there is no stock
    If you dont follow this way, then you create inconsistencies in profit center accounting.
    Because...you received your stock without profit center (actually it is a certain default profit center), if you then change the PC in your material, then each issue will be posted to the new PC, while it never had a receipt.

  • Most use ful t code for Material Master changing

    Dear All,
    Can any one give me most useful T-codes for create, change and display material master.
    I have one T-code which is very useful for material master it is "MM50". With help of this tcode you can see material extend detail and also you can delete mass material with help of this tcode.
    So please use it and also give me other this type of tcodes.
    Regards,

    Hi,
    MM17, LSMW, MM50 --- These are the 3 main transactions which is used frequently to Mass change the  Material master.
    There is one more option is there using BDC Upload.
    Batch Data Communication or BDC is a batch interfacing technique that SAP developed. It is mainly used for uploading data into the SAP R/3 system. BDC works by simulating the user input from transactional screen via an ABAP program.
    The data input data file will come in the form of a flat file which the user save as file type txt file or prn file from the Microsoft Excel program. An Abaper will create a program to read the text file and upload into the SAP system.
    Transaction -- SHDB will be used to record the change material master. After, the simulation, the Abaper can generate a sample program and modify from there. It makes the programming easier and faster.
    For a BDC upload you need to write a program which created BDC sessions.
    hope you got it. Take a help of  ABAPer for this BDC Upload.

  • Changing the profit center for Material impact on inventory turnover

    Dear All,
    Due to recent organization structure change, we have some up with new set of profit center in our organization.
    This means that old profit center as case in point in material master should be changed to new ones, after flushing the stock out. Probably, by moving stock to cost center with movement type 201 and then after the profit center change we reverse with movement type 202.
    We use standard SAP report MC.7 inventory turnover calculation. Based on this inventory turnover, we use this ratio to calculate the inventory obsolescence provisions.
    So, our issue is the above movement profit center change by moving it to cost center, does it impact the inventory turnover?
    Or alternatively, can use some other movement type which does not change the inventory turnover? So, that we are assured from our side, about no change on inventory turnover and subsequent the change to our inventory obsolescence provisions.
    Please help me here.
    Kind Regards,
    Prakash

    Hi Venkat,
    Thanks for the reply. How different this movement type 562 (intial stock upload) is different then 201 (cost center consumption)?
    I mean does it not update the info structure?

    Prakash

  • Bydefault selection of profit centers during material master creation.

    Dear SAP Experts,
    My business wants that when ever they want to create a new material the profit center field should come bydefault after the selection of the plant.
    Each plant has been associated with a profit center.
    Is it possible , If yes then How.
    Please guide me.
    Regards
    Debjeet Banerjee

    There is no direct link of profit center and plant , the profit center is linked with plant via material master.So you cannot default the profit center when you select the plant while creating the MMR.
    Better try with any custom table were you can make this link and default it while creation of material master.
