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

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

Dear SAP Expert,

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.

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,
SAPUK.

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.

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.
Pavan H S

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

Billing document pulling wrong profit center

Having a problem getting sales revenue posted to the correct profit center. Order is created and pulls the correct profit center (1010) from the material master. When sales document is created, it is putting it to sales revenue account but with wrong profit center (2010).
Using one sales revenue account, 410000, cost center 1602 linked to profit center 2010000
Getting confused as to why my sales when posted to 410000 revenue account I don't get the correct profit center ?
Any help or suggestions for configuration - just using my sandbox.

Hi,
Profit center is determined from material master for sales orders, direct assignment of accounts to profit centers, derivation rule in PCA, or via user exit (if some custom logic is inbuild in the system). Check your PCA configuration in section PC assignment to object & accounts.

Wrong Profit Center Posting during J1IEX

Dear Sir,
While posting the Excise invoice through J1IEX the accounting document generated captures different Profit Center. However it should capture the profit center from Material Master. The material master Profit Center is not getting updated.
Kindly suggest.
Regards,
Saurabh

Hi,
Since they know the month they can use the reports S_AC0_52000888 for vendors and report S_AC0_52000887 for customers and they can give the input as wrong profit center and from period and to period and find out the document number and based upon that reversal can be passed.

Wrong profit center in accounting document

Dear Experts,
There was wrong profit center in accounting document since the user changed the profit center in material master to the correct one after posting is created.
How to make correction in Accounting and controlling side for the wrong profit center?
Please advice.

Hi,
If you want to make an update in FI, you will have to reverse the document and post it again. However, if it's sufficient for you to make an internal update in PCA, you can use 9KE0 transaction.

Hi,
What has already been posted in SAP has been posted. One alternative in front of you is to create adjustment postings in PCA to post to the correct Profit Center. You can use transaction code 1KEL or 9KE0 for the same but it may not work as most probably you will the GR/IR clearing account set to "Post automatically" in the GL Master. In such a scenario the only option would be to have customized program to create IDOCs with Message Type "PRCMAS" to post the adjustment postings in your system.

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,

Hi,
Are you using NEW GL or EC-PCA? If New GL, you can do manual adjustment (FI entry). If EC-PCA, you can do it using 9KE0.

Wrong Profit Center being picked

Hi,
We have users who picks wrong profit center unknowingly, so is there any solution to restrict uisers to pick only particular profit center in a Plant while creating.

Hi,
Another suggestion would be to default the profit center in a respective cost object like cost center, or profitability segment (through derivation rule).
You can also check OKB9 to default PC based on cost element.
If business requirement doesn't allow you to default PC, then the validation rules can be set to restrict the usage of profit centers.
Thanks,
Nirav
