Profit centre error when cross company code asset transfer

[steveyarnold]

New GL active with doc splitting

TXN ABT1N cross company asset transfer

Error message KM183 - No postings can be made to profit center &1 in company code &2 because the Profit center is not assigned to the company code. This is correct as the asset that has received the transfer posting is in a differnt company code with a different profit centre.

Why is it trying to post to the wrong profit center?

This is the message. We are using New GL with document splitting and I have a feeling that it is due to something there rather than asset settings.

Hi,

Check if this profit centre is not assigned as a constant in New G/L for non-assigned process. It could also come from a substitution or defaulted by G/L setting. The best thing is to create a similar example in your test environment, while defining this profit centre for the company code in question, and see the eventual posting. This way you would see the logic of this profit centre derivation.

The profit center is not the default one nor from any substitution but the one associated with the asset that is being transferred and is correctly only in one company code; I was expecting it to pick up the profit center associated to the receiving asset that sits in another company code.

Well, a transfer creates a G/L posting. Since, it's a cross-company posting, then aforementioned posting can adopt the profit centre from the source asset. As I said, the best way would be to visualise the posting...

Hi Eli,

Thanks for taking the time to respond - I am aware of the G/L postings effectively Credit the sending company and debiting the receiving company with the NBV. What I am expecting is, for the sending company, the assignment is against the profit centre relative to the cost centre in the sending asset and the posting in the receiving company to be against the profit centre relating to the profit centre that is linked to the cost centre in the receiving asset; something like:

Sending

75 1100 601123 FU1P811 10000

50 1100 65520000 FU1P811 10000

Receiving

70 1170 605632 FG1P811 10000

40 1170 40210000 FG1P811 10000

But the system is trying to use FU1P811 against all entries - I think this is caused by splitting
