Advise if we should keep Classic PCA with new GL (with profit center update)

[Former Member]

Dear Expert,

Is there any issue of keeping Classing Profit Centre Accounting along with New GL Accounting with Scenario FIN_PCA (Profit Center update)? Please
tell me the advantages and disadvantages and what business scenario support either?

Thanks & Regards,

Hi Raj

There is no point in having both, sap recommendation is also the same because it causes data duplication

One more point

There is a note which says how to deactivate classical pca. I think it is 702584. You can search here

Hi Ajay,

Thanks once again for the comments! However, I am not able to figure out if any company has gone live with both scenario?

In my given example, operation team wants to run reports via CO that they want to view by Cost Centre/ Profit Centre & WBS Element (it's project based accounting). And they are going live with New GL with profit Centre (which will have balanced reports per profit center)

If both the scenario is active, will we have two different balance in Profit Center per FI Reports (New GL) and CO Reports (per classic Profit Center report)?

Also is there any advantage of Classic Profit Center reports in CO over FI New GL Reports per Profit Center? And can we customise report design within FI?

Hi..

Do you know Note 826357 - Profit Center Accounting and New General Ledger in SAP

ERP ?

Hi

Classical pca is not meant to reconcile with FI, there is an sap note to that extent. For that reason. Pca was integrated with fi by means of new gl

Even with new gl, you can continue to use classical pca, but then don't use new gl pca. There is no scenario which necessitates to have both

You can get co and wbse reports from CO and PCA reports from FI

Or

Get all of them from FI because faglflexa table has all these dimensions
