Profit center does not exist error during MIGO

Former Member

Hi All,

I am getting error Profit center 1000/12345 does not exist for 10.09.2013 while posting goods receipt for inbound delivery.

The problem is the article is deriving profit center 12345 even though I have changed the profit center from 12345 to 990990. I would like to know why this is ?

Please do not ask me to create the profit center or to extend the validity as the profit center 12345 is not the correct profit center.

When we got this error we reversed the inbound delivery and changed the profit center in Article master and then again did inbound delivery , profit center is correctly derived for other articles but only for one article it is deriving old profit center.

Please help me

Hi Insomniac,

Profit center is normally copied to purchase order item (field EKPO-KO_PRCTR) from article master (MARC-PRCTR) when you create the PO. This is then used for all subsequent documents such as goods receipt or invoice, and there is - at least to my knowledge - no way to change it in the PO. I believe you will need to delete the PO item (if there is no history for it yet in EKBE) and create a new line, which should take the profit center from the current article master.

If it is too cumbersome then you may need to extend the profit center - even if you do not like it - and then transfer the amounts at month-end (or, rather, keep transferring for some time until all the old PO items do not get fully processed). We did this in the past.

Regards,

Hi Jan,

Thanks much appreciated. It gave a direction to final solution. SAP has released a note for this:

Dear Insomniac

As you have put condition on us that "Please do not ask me to create the profit center or to extend the validity as the profit center 12345 is not the correct profit center." so I will not dare to do so. seems you are applying condition types here also.

Please check following points:

  

1     Check whether any derivation is activated for this profit center.

2     Check validity of your new profit center (990990) is it valid on 10.09.2013.

3     Try deleting PO line item of this material and add again a new line item for the same item as                suggested by Jan also.

4     Check your OKB9 settings for the concerned GL accounts what profit center is there?
