Before creating Profit center, we need to have profit center hierachy through transaction KCH1. You need to assign this 0KE5 . You also need to create Dummy Profit center through transaction KE59. After this through transaction KE51 you can start creating profit center

At the time of making journal entry. i have selected the profit center 2000 but the systems gives error message that proft center was set to Dummy Profit center.

Hi

You cannot use the Dummy profit center for posting transactions manually. Dummy profit center will be used automatically by the system when it is not finding any proper profit center. Hence when passing an entry use profit centers other than dummy.

i have selected particular profit center instead of dummy profit center but the error message shows that an entry in field profit center is not permitted for GL account number 900000. Is ther any special settings to be made for GL account.

Check the Field status group of the GL account. May be it has Profit center supressed.

hai,

i have created two profit center and one dummy profit center. In proft center 1100 have posted one journal entry but the system was taken dummy profit center (i.e PGENERAL) and the following message is displaying

Profit center was set to PGENERAL

Message no. KI339

Diagnosis

You entered profit center P1100 or transferred it from a previous transaction, such as material receipt from an external order. However, the system derived profit center PGENERAL 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 P1100, assign the profitability segment, cost center or other object to that profit center as well.

If the posting to profit center PGENERAL is correct, no further action is necessary.

This message is sent as an error in the standard system. You can make the message a warning 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.

hi

Send the entry that you have made, if it is expenses entry may be it is trying to derive profit center as it is not getting anything it is putting in Dummy. You can use profit center derivation 3KEH & 3KEI for solving direct FI entry related derivations.

hai,

Printing & Stationery expenses entered in Proft center P1100 because this expense is relate to this profit center.While making entry all the profit center is showing to select. If i select the particular profit center for save option, it is automatically changed to Dummy profit center and saved.

Hi

Are you also giving any cost center in this transaction. I think you are entering through FB50 or F-02 transaction?

Hi

PC is to be assigned to any of the cost objects like cost center, IO etc. If system does not find any assignment , then it automatically selects Dummy PC. Assgin PC to CC in CC master data.

You can check PCA assignments monitor to check out if any PC has missed out assignment ( in 1KE4 )

Hope this helps

hai,

I can't assign in profit center in Cost center master record. because we have 4 cost center and 9 profit centers. If i assign the cost center 1 to profit center 1 then i can't able to assign the cost center 1 to proft center 2. that is my problem.

cost center 1 will be used all nine proft center

cost center 2 will be used all nine profit center like wise.

that is why i am not assigned the profit center in cost center.

I have checked up 1KE4 PC accounting : Assignment master there is empty screen in that assignment monitor (cost center) which one is i want to maintain in the following

nonassigned

assigned cost center

profit center without cost center

Hi

You have to assign the Profit center in the cost center, Assign one of the profit center after wards you can use assessment in profit center accounting to split the cost to nine profit centers. For the data to flow to the proper profit center an assignment in Cost center is a must, otherwise it only go to the dummy profit center. Or otherwise you can use derivation through 3KEH

hai,

as per your given explanation i can't take profit center wise p& L in FI (because we have assigned only one profit center). But i can take report in controlling profit center wise. This is my assumption is it correct.

Yes you are right, Since you have a problem of having 4 cost centers and 9 profit centers this is only way out.
