B/S Entries requires a Proft Center assignment - 3KEH not working

[Former Member]

I'm getting an error when I'm trying to default a Profit Center on a FI transaction to B/S GL account. Following are the config settings that I have maintained. However when I look up the document, the profit center field is showing <blank>

1. For the B/S account, I maintained settings in Trx: 3KEH to deafult a Prf Center

2. I've changed the Profit center field to optional on the FS Grp of the B/S GL account

2a. When I try posting a transaction to this GL account, Profit center given in 3KEH is not being populated

3. I tried using a derivation rule by the GL account and Company Code to a default profit center in Trx: 3KEI.

3. The profit center is still not getting the default value (its showing blank) when I post a journal in FI to that Co Code and that GL Account.

Can anyone pls tell me if there are any additional settings required to get a Prf Center derived on the Balance Sheet entries

THanks

Are you looking at the Finance doc, or the Controlling Doc.

3keh is a Controlling transaction, and makes posting for PCA only.

If you want to hit Finance, then you need to look into Document splitting which is part of the new GL, and the most stable version is available in ERP 6.0

Im not sure I understand your point.

Here is what I'm looking to achieve.

I post a FI transaction on a Balance Sheet account say 1111.

I have a contra account for this posting say 2222.

Now whatever I post to account 1111, I want track the amount in a profit center as well (say PC1111) . I can achieve this by entering "PC1111" in the profit center field at the time of FI transaction posting. This would result in a PCA document.

What I'm looking to acheive is to default the value "PC1111" when ever I post to GL acct 1111. I tried doing this in Trx: 3KEH but it did not work for me.

Thank you for responding anyway.

Hi Shruti

Which version are you working now. As in ECC 5.0 onwards 3KEH has become redundant and the concept of New GL has been introduced by SAP. The New GL has Document Splitting concept.

It is be easier to give solution if you can provide the version.

Suraj - Thanks. That might be the problem

We're on ECC 6.0. Can you please let me know how to achieve this in ECC 6.0 using new GL?? I haven't worked on this before.

Thanks
