Profit Center is not updated automatically at PR/PO using B/S AAC

Hi Experts,

I have a scenario, might be the basic one, but could not find out the solution on my own.

Requirement is to derive Profit center automatically when creating Purchase Requisition or Purchase Order using Account Assignment Category "3" (B/S related).

I was in the assumption that system would derive profit center mapped against B/S GL account in transaction code either 3KEH or 3KEI, but when I actually test, I see no automatic derivation profit center is happening though actually mapping maintained, but when I create FI document using the same B/S GL, system deriving profit center mapped at 3KEH.

We can rule out the below:

  • settings like OKB9 (as the GL account is not a Cost Element),
  • we don't give any material as the purchases are NPM related,
  • no other cost objects to derive profit centers in turn as the GL is B/S,
  • writing Substitution rule as we are not posting any FI document and
  • even OME9 & OBC4 settings are in sink (if not we get error message) for Field Statuses of profit center.

NOTE: The requirement is to update profit center automatically, but not through manual entry any more.

Kindly let me know, how to meet the requirement.
