Before you begin creating profit center master data, it is important to map out exactly
what the profit centers in an organization represents. It is also important to determine the
numbering convention to be used for the profit center master data.
Before you begin creating profit center data, you need to make the following
configurations:
- Before a profit center can be used it needs to be activated. You can either perform
the activation as a part of the profit center creation, use KE52 and activate, or as part
of the mass activation process, you can navigate as per the above screen to activate
the profit center master data
- It is a very good and normal practice to create your profit center hierarchy and
structure in the SAP development environment, and then transport this hierarchy up
to production as it will save you a lot of time in creating the master data
9. Choose Accounts: 3KEH: In this activity, you define which accounts or account intervals you
want to transfer to Profit Centre Accounting. If no profit center is specified in a posting, the
system uses the default profit center for the account or account interval.
a. BS readjustment: The balance readjustment program read all AR, AP and TAX postings
(posted without or with profit center DUMMY). It allocates the correct profit center to
AR/AP and TAX and creates postings in FI and In the period end-closing schedule we
also run the PCA AR/AP update where all open items (AR/AP) are updated in total in
PCA per profit center. The offset postings are updated real time. This means we have
double counting in PCA in the AR/AP area. To solve this the readjustment accounts are
removed from 3KEH.
10. Derivation Rules for Finding the Profit Center: 3KEI: 3KEH configuration is used for determining
default profit centres for all Balance Sheet accounts, other than reconciliation accounts, where
the COB cannot be determined. These accounts are therefore, assigned to Corporate or
Financing. Certain Balance Sheet accounts are defaulted to DUMMY because the COB cannot be
determined at time of posting, and should not be reported against any particular COB from a
'day to day' perspective. They are, however, dealt with during the period end and eventually
are allocated to the COB's guidelines.
11. Adding fields to PCA distribution /assessments: Transaction GCA6: View/Table: V_T811I
12. Assignment of Profit Centres to Co codes: In this activity the profit centres are assigned to
company codes. This can be done while changing the Profit center or can be done collectively.
Transaction KE52, KE56
13. Perform Account Control for Valuation Differences: When payables and receivables are
transferred to Profit Center Accounting, the system adjusts valuation differences arising from
foreign currency revaluation. In this activity, you decide which account these adjustments
through foreign currency revaluation are to be posted to. There are two possibilities here:
Posting to the General Ledger account for payables/receivables
Posting to the balance sheet adjustment account of the general ledger
account for payables/receivables
