Profit center was set to 2000-DUM

587 Views

Hi

I have an issue here...in material master we have assigned profit center 2700 (Sales and Marketing-Jeddah) and the profit should go to 2700 profit center...but though this profit center is assigned in Material Master...the profit is going to (2000-DUM) which is a dummy profit center.

Processing at MB31.

Getting the following message:-

Profit center was set to 2000-DUM

Message no. KI339

Diagnosis

You entered profit center 2700 or transferred it from a previous transaction, such as material receipt from an external order. However, the R/3 System derived profit center 2000-DUM from the account assignments.

System response

The system automatically determines the profit center from the assigned profitability segment, cost center, order, project, network, sales order, or cost objects. This overrides the profit center you entered manually.

Procedure

To post the data to profit center 2700, assign the profitability segment, cost center or other object to that profit center as well.

If the posting to profit center 2000-DUM is correct, no further action is necessary.

This message is sent as an error in the standard R/3 System. You can make the message a caution or deactivate it entirely in Customizing. Use the Implementation Guide under "Controlling: General" and choose Change message control. Enter area KI and message number 339.

With the above warning message i can do the settings accordingly but it will not serve the perpose...of profit going to profit center 2700.

Diagnosis says about assigning of profitability segment...(I DONT WHERE TO ASSIGN).

Please give your expertise as how can i send the profit to profit center 2700 instead of dummy profit center.

Thanks!
