Views on Subsequent Activation of Profit Center Accounting when Funds & Grants are in useDear FICO collegues,

My client is having the specific requirement as mentioned below. currently,we are using ECC 6.00 with EHP-4.

Business requirement :- He wants to activate the profit center accountingin order to carry the settlement of revenue / balance sheet accountsbetween profit centers. According to him, he had a call with SAP and SAPrecommended them to activate the profit center accounting in order to meetthe same.

Existing configuration :-

(a) New GL activated(b) Document Splitting is Not activated & single ledger is in use(c) Funds Management - Activated(d) Grants Management - Activated(e) Funded Program - Activated(d) Profit Center Accounting - Not Activated.(e) All company codes are using fiscal year variant Apr to Mar except onecompany code, which is in Jan to Dec(f) Common chart of accounts for all company codes except one company code& controlling area vs company code relation is one to one.(g) One currency is being used called 'GBP'

I am looking for any experts views who worked on the above scenario"activation of profit center accounting subsequent to go-live.. when Funds& Grants is activated under ECC 6.0".

Kindly revert with your views and any SAP documentation / notes / sideeffects related notes in the above scenario.

Solution

Hi

I believe, activation of PCA does not have any impact on Grant & FM...

Its advisable you use New GL PCA i.e. assign scenario FIN_PCA to your FILedgers... While doing this, SAP gives a scary warning message, but Ibelieve that can be ignored, unless you intend to activate doc splitting aswell

Do not create PCs from CO menu, as it would ask you to activate EC PCA andDummy PC..

Ideally cost center masters allow change of PC from new FY.. I dont knowhow it would behave since you are activating it in middle of the year..Please try this in a test system 1st...

You would require adding of PC in all masters like Cost center, Int Orders,WBS, Material Masters etc... So, the structure of PC hierarchy is a verykey decision

Help call outHi,

Can anybody help me out on the below issue.

am getting an error when i run the Transaction KP98 Copy actual to Planversion 20.

Selections for KP98

Below is the error screenshot.

All  710 Series accounts are primary cost elements and they are P & Laccounts.

KP06 -

Below is the screen shot for one of the combination in the error screenshot above has the values in KP06 for version 0.

I understand that when we run KP98 it updates KP06 Fixed planned cost orvariable cost..

Please understand me why am getting this error..

one more thing if i plan the Activity in KP26 and execute KP98 then thaterror disappears.

Please let me know if you need more inputs..

Hi Somashekara ,

What I understand, these cost centers are activity dependent in the sourcei.e. actual data which is getting copied & hence you need to maintain thePlanned activity rates in KP26.

Hi Somashekara,

In SAP Planning is divided into two parts ,1> Activity-independent cost planning2> Activity-dependent cost planningNow if we are using KP06 then it triggers the Activity Independent Planning

as per the standard SAP but when we use the KP26 then it triggers theActivity Dependent Planning. So as per your screenshots system is forActivity Dependent Planning so when you are marinating that KP26 then theerror has gone out. For more details about the Activity Dependent andActivity Independent Planning please refer to the below link,

Functional Area Field in KB31NHi All,

I could not able to see the Functional Area filed in T.Code: KB31N, How cani get the functional area filed in KB31N.

Hi

I doubt this field is available in KB31N.. Func Area is what woud bederived from Cost center

I checked the screen variant where you can define a new one... See thescreen print below.. This field is not available

Hi Ajay,

I have checked in the Screen variant it is not available, But I have seenthe other project they are getting the filed of Functional Area in KB31N, Idon't know what are the other components we need to activate.

HiFirst of all you need to activate the Cost of Sales Accounting foractivating the functional area. If you are in ECC 6 then the path would beIMG>FIN Accounting (New)>Fin Accounting Global Settings (New)> Ledgers>Fields > Standard Field > Functional Area for Cost of Sales AccountingUnder which you will find the Functional Area creation activationeverything. For the use of of functional Area you can refer to the belowlink,

Cost Element category.Hi All,

Need a little help.

One of the Cost Elements in our system was created by the users , as acategory "1" by mistake.    They intended "11".

This needs to be brought  back to  "11".  We know SAP will prevent iteventually... but we have just started our new fiscal year on Oct 1 2012and hence this might be a good time to do that. This will not have anyposting in fy 2012 for another day.

 I was hoping to change it's  "analysis period ( Edit->Analysis Period)  "data from this year's first date.. if it allows.  Ran in test systems, butit runs forever... hence not sure yet what it's going to do..

Any input on this would be of great help.

Hi Dola,

If you have access to use OKC5 transaction, please try to delete the costelement which is created with wrong cost element category and create samecost element with correct cost element category.This transaction shouldallow for cost element deletion if there are no postings in the requiredFiscal Year.

KEDVHi,

Has any one worked on building summarisation levels in KEDV for performanceenhancements of KE30 reports ?

We are experiencing Time out error since last 3 weeks in these reports inall systems. Reports that normally take 5-10 mins are taking upto 2.5hours to execute. Even in development system where data is minimal it istaking almost 45 minutes to give an output.

I am looking for building new summarisation levels rather than systemproposed level through KEDVP. If any one has worked on this before and canhelp, please reply back.

Hi,

Enclosed the steps in creating Summarization level and using it for KE30report.

Error in J1INPR posting

Dear All,

I have done the configuration settings for Provision for Taxes on ServicesReceived under Withholding tax.

I am getting below error while executing transaction J1INPR and If I clickon customizing it is going to NEW GL Document Splitting characteristics.Where Profit center is mandatory in our case.

There is no option to fill up Profit center in J1INPR transaction, as itgetting posted in Background.

Can any one suggest how resolve this issue.

Appreciate you inputs.

Hi Deepak,This issue as you have pointed out is correct that this issue is DocumentSplitting functionality issue. So you need to check two things,1st > You need to check the material master whether any profit center hasbeen maintained or not. Or,2nd> If this PO does not contain any material master then you need to checkin the PO itself whether any cost center has been maintained in the PO ornot.If either or this two has been maintained system will autometically pick upthe Profit center from there.

Failing to Trigger OKB9Hi All,

Need a little help.

During Normal Journal Entries, if a Stat Order is being used in the line ,OKB9 settings for that GL are not getting invoked at all.

e.g I have a GL X ( In OKB9 , for that "Default Profitibility Segment"

checked as well as Profit Cntr is P etc , fully set up ).

Case 1.

Use GL X for the posting ( along with the Stat Order in the input). Itstops as it can't find a CO Object assignment . ( Which means it failedto invoke OKB9 as OKB9 already had these mentioned for the GL X).Now if I force it to derive the profitability segment manually, it doesit, but with a Profit Cntr DUMMY and allows to post.

Case 2.

Use GL X. Same steps as Case 1. But, before putting the Stat Order, hitenter . Then put the Stat order . SAP derived the profitability segmentand profit Cntr without any error message, but profit cntr is wrong.Profit Cntr becomes DUMMY again instead of P .

In all cases it's actually going to one step in KEDR ( as found byanalyzing the derivations) " Check whether Profit Center Accounting isactive" and is putting in DUMMY

I am looking at NOTE 105024 . If you have any further suggestion forme , please let me know.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi Dola,

Its an interesting case....

1st of all - The reason for Dummy PCA in PSG is the fact that you did notenter any PC in the FI Line item... You must enter the PC in FI line itemand the same gets adopted in PSG... Am not sure if you can enter the PCdirectly in the PSG window.

2nd issue - The reason why OKB9 is not called is that there already existsa CO object (even though statistical)... The design of the program is thatif there is any Co object, OKB9 is not called... It does not check thenature (real or stat) of the CO object.. A SAP note does exist for asimilar issue (373823). This addresses the case where Revenue line itemcontains a Cost center and hence OKB9 is not called... With this note, youcan invoke OKB9 for revenue account if Cost center exists in the line item

You can raise an OSS msg to SAP and check if similar note exists for yourcase. If not, raise a Development Request with SAP... I hope this is avalid ask and can definitely be addressed... You can address it usingfunction module which is used in the background for OKB9.. Its somethinglike K_ACCOUNT_ASSIGNMENT_GET...

@ Sarada: Do you remember that FM?

Hi Ajay,

Thanks .. I'll take a look at that note shortly.

As in point one, we don't want to input PC in the line item, we wantthat to come up from OKB9 too ... GL X is set up accordingly...( I meanif possible. ....else putting in detail line is an option).

Let me do a little more research with the notes/FMs ( Sarada,..pleasepitch in here... ) will update what all comes up.

Distribution Cycle Error : "No senders have been found"Hello,

I have created a distribution cycle in FAGLGA31 with three segments withthe following criteria, The cycle is maintained with version "001"

Sender:

Account, Profit Centre C postings and Functional Area YB20

Receiver:

function area YB20, profit center A: 80%functional area YB20, profit center B 20%

Likewise I have the other 2 segments with different % of distribution.

But when I am trying to execute the cycle in FAGLGA35, i am getting theerror message that "no sender has been found". I have checked the cyclecompletely and all the relevant master data exists. Also the transactionaldata relating to document type SA also exists in the system. Please findbelow the details of the error message.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Cycle 0L2050, start date 20110101, does not include any senders.Message no. GA749

DiagnosisNo senders were found for cycle 0L2050, starting date 20110101.

System ResponseIt is no longer possible to create receivers and assign senders for thesegment.

ProcedureCheck the definition of the cycle in the maintenance transaction for ActualDistribution: General Ledger. No valid sender cost centers could be foundto match your selection.

If you use the sender rules "Posted amounts" or "Posted quantities", checkwhether records exist in the database for the criteria you entered (costelement, version...)

During indirect activity allocation with the sender rule "postedquantities", you should also note that only the difference between theplanned/posted activity allocation and the scheduled activity quantity isallocated. If you entered activity types as sender, you should at thispoint also check the activity type category. For those quantities postedwith an activity type of category 1 (manual entry, manual allocation) noindirect activity allocation is possible.

1. If this is an allocation in the FI/FI-SL area, the problem could also bedue to the inheritance logic for FI-SL totals tables, whose "Inheritance ofsender based on the receiver" indicator is activated in the "Partner objectupdate" view (T811U-INHERSRC). These are tables that were installed beforeRelease 4.6A.Use transaction GCA8 to check this, and see the section on:

Inheritance Logic for Allocationsthen correct the affected cycle, if required.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Could somebody please help me on how to resolve this

Hi

Transaction code FAGLGA31 is for creation of ACTUAL Distribution cycleHere you have assigned PLAN version of 001/1. For this planned versionactual price will not be calculated . (OKEQ).Check it and try to use 0 version

Hi Srinu

She is right in selecting Version 1 for Actual cycle.. If you use cyclesfrom FI, you need to choose Version 1.

Issue with Clearing accont with Doc SplitHi,

We have recently migrated to EHP4. We are facing a unique issue.

Background: When an actual Distribution cycle is run the system initiallygave the error "No GL account maintained against Key SPL" for automaticaccount determination, There are more then 999 record lines & the system istrying to split the record into two documents. We later maintained the samewith account "X", in TCode - FBKP against SPL.

Issue: Profit center is not getting populated in the against the account"X" in the FI document, This account was created as a Balance sheetaccount.

We tried assigning a default Profit Center in TCode - 3KEH against theaccount, however it didn't help.

Any suggestions shall be highly appreciated.

Hi,

Thanks for the e-mail. We tried the option of FAGL3KEH, and Substitutionrule. However, both didn't update the profit center in the GL posting.

Below is a SAP note specifying a similar issue. We would like to know ifsomeone has implemented the said note and what are the implications.

I guess it is FAGL3KEH in New GL

Intercompany ReconciliationDear All,

Our client is looking to implement Intercompany Reconciliation. Does anyone has implemented this scenario in your clients?

I request you to share configuration document and inputs for implementingthe Intercompany Reconciliation.

Hi Bala,

costingHi Team

We have following requirement with our client

They have a part (Material A) in Plant X.

When they cost Material A.. the value is say $100 unit, (make up ofMaterial $40, Labor $30 & Overhead $30)

Material A is used in Plant Y and sourced from Plat X (special procurementkey)

When they roll the part in Plant Y, it comes over as @ $100 from Plant X.

Here's what my client wants:

In Plant Y, the full $100 should show up as all material costs (and not asCost Component Split as broken up in Plant X.

Currently, the system performs multilevel and bring the $100 in Plant Y asM40+L30+O30

Appreciate your response.

Hi Kishore,

For the Plant Y create another cost component structure with including allthe under one component and assign the cost component structure at plantlevel.

But make sure it will impact all the cost estimates of Plant Y.

Please let me know if any further information required.

Hi Srinu,

Thanks for the response.

The given solution is not feasible as it impacts cost split of othermaterial which are existing at plant Y.Hence plz advice alternative option.

Hi Srinu / Kishore

That solution wont work... It will disturb other cost estimates

@ Kishore: Its very strange that your client is expecting what you havesaid.. Usually, with SAP coming in, people want to have finer details... Iwould suggest you educate your client about the importance of getting CCSin Plant Y...It would provide a better and true picture of contributionmargin

However, if they still insist on it, here is what you can do (one of these)

1. Enter the Std cost of Plant X as Planned Price 1 in Plant Y and thenrelease Cost estimate of Part A in Plant Y...

If you extend the material master to Plant Y with ref to Plant X, it willautomatically copy the Std cost as well in the field STPRS and not LPLPR...STPRS should suffice for the purpose of inventory valuation

2. What Srinu said can be extended a bit... This usually works in the caseof Cross company cost estimate.. I never tried it for Intra Co.. You can

give it a try

Copy your existing CCS to a new one and add a dummy Cost Component to it...If the CCS is not same in both plants, the entire cost gets transferredinto material cost (In the case of cross comp costing).. Donno if it willwork for Intra Co or not...

Hi Kishore,

This requirement can be handled by creating separate Costing BOM andpushing the same across multiple plants in order to get uniform standards.Please make sure other OH absorption methods remains same across all theplant.

Transaction Screen Variant - FK02 - Selection criteriaHi,

We have issue related to Screen Variant of FK02.

As per client requirement we have created Screen variant (SHD0) for FK02,where Reconciliation A/c Field & other fields are to be display only.Accordingly we have implemented. We gone with customer for screen variantoption instead of Field Status.

Now user come back with another issue in screen variant.

In Standard (without any Screen Variant), When user go to FK02, and tickany of Selection Criteria & press enter to see that details. When he returnback to FK02 main screen by pressing Back button then same selectioncriteria remain ticked.

But the same is not happening, when screen variant is activated.

How to achieve the same ?Please guide (with screen shots preferably) to achieve the same.

Standard transaction customizing for additional field in profit centerHi,

I have a business requirement for creating an additional field in theprofit center master data for corporate reporting. This field will notpopulate any line items.The Z field has been created in the CEPC table.

For populating or accessing this field business wants the standardtransactions to be modified. KE51/KE52/KE53 without any adverse effects.

Is anyone having an experience in how this scenario can be implementedtechnically (ABAP design) for the modification of standard transactions.

?

Price Result of a ProjectHello,

If I have sent a material for supplier to construct a sub assembly, thevalue of these components are coming into the value of the sub assemblywhich is fine. But the price of this is also coming into the WBS element.

The problem is, system is adding the value of the component at the value ofthe purchase order for the header of the sub assembly and it is also addingthe same value in the detail of the component of the WBS element which isfor the second time.

And we want that the system to add just for one of the two cases i.e,either in the price of the sub-assembly or in the movement of the WBSelement but not for the two

Probably the issue is with the rules about value flows from COPA

Since I am neither a CO nor a PS consultant, I am not able to understandthis issue deeper. Could someone please help me to understand why this ishappening and how to correct this.

Target cost not considered current cost estimate in KKBC_ORD in process orderHi

As I explained, Target cost is not just Std Cost (x) Actual Qty.. Systemrecalculates the whole estimate and uses 3 decimals this time

However, the difference of 9000+ is totally uncalled for...

I would suggest run KKS2 in update mode and then check... If its notresolved, you can raise an OSS message to SAP...

Hi Ajay,

We have no issue with Planned cost. Planned cost calculation is happeningin COR3 as usual  81592.87 l : Planned Qty in the BOM at the time ofcreating prod order(12.415)X Std price of material on the previous period6572.12 for price unit 1000 (as Process order created in previous period11/2011) and in val variant we have strategy sequence as std price inPlanned costing variant PPP1.

Although we have alternate UOM in material master however we have costingLot size 10,000 and Price unit as 1000.

Current standard cost calculated as 5.624,88 for per 1000 unit.

Therefore Target cost calculation for the component in COR3  should be Stdprice as per the current cost estimate 5.62 /unit X Total Target Qty 13958=78512, however system calculated as 67383.59 which is causing 9637 .89unfavorable var to standard.

Yes it is correct before KKS1/KKS2  Target  calculation is statistical inCOR3/KKBC_ORD and will not update in Database.

Does it mean to say this inconsistencies of Target calculation would beeliminated in COR3 after real var calculation done  on KKS1/KKS2.

Please suggest accordingly and would like to know what is the root cause onthis as taget cost does not consider current cost est in COR3.

Thank you for your continued support on this.

Hi Subrata

One correction to what you said, Planned cost does not depend on Std Costat all.... It depends on the Planned Qty in the BOM at the time of creatingprod order (x) Prices as per valuation variant specified in the Prod ordertype.. It can be same as Std cost, but thats just a coincidence and not arule

The Target cost you see before variance calc, is just statistical.. Aftercalc variance, check if the Target cost is OK in COR3.. T

here can be minor decimal differences because Std Cost is calculated upto 2decimals and Target cost is calculated afresh with 3 decimals (The Std costas it is is not considered)

You can see differences, also when you use alternate UoMs in the materialmaster or when your Costing lot size and Price Unit is lower

To minimize it, you should have higher Costing lot size and higher priceunit as far as Possible... You cant avoid using alternate UoMs if businessrequires it... So no comments to that regard

Hi All,

Below is detailed case.

1 Process Order created in Dec 20112 Price Released to Mat master on 01.01.20123 Goods movement,Operation confirmed Material Issues, FG qty delivered @std cost 0n 04.01.20124 Order Technically completed (TECO)5 KKS1/KKS2 not yet done- will be done at month end.

We know that In Process order, after deliver of FG the target cost on FG isnot getting calculated,target cost will be updated only after calculatingvariance. it does not calculate after delivery of finished goods, OnExecution of KKS1/KKS2 variance will be calculated the target cost on FGand will be updated.

In process order (COR3 --> Cost analysis) Target cost ,Actual cost andPlanned cost are calculated based on the following:

Total Plan Cost = Std Cost the material required to Produce X Planned Qtyof the required material

Target Cost = Std Cost the material planned to Produce X Std Qty ofmaterial required to produce, for Produced Actual Qty

Actual Cost = Std Cost the material planned to Produce X Actual Qty ofmaterial consumed, for Produced Actual Qty

The variance is calculated on SFG and assemblies based on the differencebetween actual and target cost in KKBC_ORD. During creation of processorder, the plan cost will be updated with the valid standard cost upon thecreation.

The target cost on SFG and Assemblies is only generated when there is goodreceipt from production order into inventory.

The target cost is generated using the valid / recent costing run for the

correspondence SFG in KKBc_ORD.

All other target costs showed in COR3 (Menu Go to > Costs > Analysis) orKKBC_ORD before doing KKS1/2 is only statistical- However in our caseTraget cost calculatedon SFG in KKBC_ORD which is not relevant with current cost estimate.

However Actual cost and Planned cost Calculated correctly.

Actual Cost= Current Standard costof the materilal(5.624,88)X Actual Qty(13.693)=77.021,48Planned cost= Std Cost the material required to Produce (6.572,12) XPlanned Qty (12.415)= 81.592,87

However Target cost is not considering the current cost estimate;It shouldbe - Current Standard cost of the materilal(5.624,88)X Target Qty(13.958,124)=78512.07.But Errorneously Target cost is showing 67.383,59 which causing unfavorablevariance to standard.

It should be 78512.07-77.021,48= 1490.59 favourable var to standard inKKBC_ORD.

Any help,suggestion and input would be highly appreciated.

Profit centre in Physical inventory postingsHi friends,

The issue is related to Physical inventory adjustment posting (T.Code:MI07) done for Movement Types 701 and 702 for Project stocks (SpecialStock type : Q).

As per the Standard SAP, the Profit Center in the P&L GL Line items(defined as cost elements) of Short /Excess adjustment, is derived fromthe Cost object (WBS Element) assigned. . The inventory related BS GLline item derives the PC from Material.

Customer wants BSEG-PRCTR of the P&L Line items to be replaced with the

Profit Center of the Material , so that the Profit center in both BS andP&L line items is the same.

Tried through Substitution /User exi, but PC is not getting derived fromMaterial, still picking up from WBS element.

Note: The Customer is not using Document Splitting feature but they are inECC6.0.

Any help / suggestion is highly appreciated.

Hi Ajay,Thank  you very much for your immediate reply and valuable comments.Is there any other way than what you had suggested, to pick up the PC fromMaterial ? say through Substitution /user exit/ Enhancement..........

Here, the probability of reposting as such is  very remote, since it isrelated to Physical inventory adjustment .

Please note that I had created cost elements (to enable posting of MI07)with CE Category as 12 .

Your comments will be highly welcome.

Hi Divakar

Thats not possible w/o modifying the standard system and std system shouldnot be modified... And not just for technical reason, it has a businessjustification as well... When you buy inventory, it can lie in a common ordifferent PC... But when you are consuming Inventory in a cost object, itshould be charged to the PC to which the CC is tagged to

If you need to modify, here is the code, but that is @ your own risk andSAP wont take any ownership.. The drawback is, CO internal postings wouldcontinue to take PC from the Cost object only... So, while you may changePC on the original posting, the subsequent reposting will take PC from COobject alone... So, my advice is not to change it........

Target Cost not appearing and issue with Variance CalculationHello Experts,

We have an issue in a Process Order where the Target Cost is not appearingin Cost Analysis.On further analyzing we have figured out that the processorder was first got TECOed on 12/30 and then it was UNTECOed on the sameday and then again it has been TECOed on 01/05. But, system shows thatvariance is calculated on 01/01/2012 when it was in UNTECOed status,Screen shots with time stamp are given below.

How do we bring back the Target Cost figures back ? And how Variancecalculation has been done when the order was not in TECO status ? Pleasethrow some light on this.

Dear Bala,

Variance can be calculated if the status is TECO or delivered. In this caseif status is delivered than it is possible to calculate the variance.Coming to target cost please check if material cost estimation is valid forJanuary period or not.

Dear Viral,

Thanks for the quick reply.Here the issue is Variance calculation has beendone when the Process order was not in TECO/DLV status. Also Cost Estimateis available.

Hi Devarasetti,

I see the status is PDLV , means partial qty might have been delivered.

Can you check the Delivered Qty & Goods Receipt for the Order has takenplace for the same Qty ?

Material Ledger questionHi All,

We have got the below query from our client. Could you please look intothis and help us find a possible solution.

'We setup a new plant (9002) but during the setup the valuation classparameters were not setup completely, therefore the Material Ledger forcertain products couldn’t be processed. Later the Valuation Class was setupbut now that I want to process the M/L for this plant/products, SAP isasking me to run the previous month valuations, which in this case is notpossible to re-open the closed periods in SAP GL. Is there a way to reset the flag of these products and re-start the M/Lcalculations for next month end close (2/1/2012)?'

Hi Rachana,

If there are no transactions for these materials in previous periods, youcan set the Closing status flag for previous periods. Plz refer the belowOSS note for more details and let me know if you need any further details.(See attached file: 645083-Material Period status set to Closing entrycompleted.pdf)

If previous data is not required for the purpose of cost calculation. useCKMM to change the price determination from 3 to 2 and then 2 to 3. This isthe simplest of the solution, but ML data is lost, which should be OK inyour case as the ML data was never met to be use.

Hi Rachana,

Refer the SAP note : 361236, this note will help you to resolve your issue.

While using MUST_SETTLE, MUST_MULTI make sure that "process again' radiobutton selected.

Hi,

You can close Material ledger for previous months using following

transaction codes:MUST_SettleMUST_multimust_cogsMust_close

For further details please refer OSS 361236.

BOM material book which Profit Center in case more then one Profit CenterHi All, there is a queary from client side that   Parent BOM material assigned to a one Profit center and under this Parent BOM material other child material assigned to other Profit Center. Then which Profit Center would be booked, when transaction took place for parent BOM material ? Here main BOM material is it the KMAT material type and the child material are the DEAN material type. Would like to understand how revenue is booked and it will reflect in which profit center ?

Can anybody please help ?

Hi Bhaskar,

This is the Strategy based on which the PC derivation in sales is influenced., whether KMAT material or normal one

1. The PC in Mat Master is carried on to the Sales Order.. The same gets carried into Billing

2. You can change the PC in Sales Order using EC PCA substitution in 0KEM & 0KEL

3. If your sales order is account assigned to an IO or WBS - Then the PC of the CO object will be final and binding on the Sales Order

4. Finally, during billing, you can also influence PC derivation using SD Exit ZXPCAF01

Hi V. Thirunavukkarasu,

Thanks for the reply, Its for Sales.

Hi Bhaskar,

Which transactions do you need clarification Sales or Goods Issue to production order or Goods receipt to Production order?  

Hi Bhaskar,

The profit center is derived in line item level. So the revenue would be posted to respective profit center only.
