No postings can be made to profit center 3200 in company code 2000

[Former Member]

Hi All,

My client is having two company codes i,e 2000 and 3000.

2000 company code is having only one profit center i.e 2000

3000 company code is having two profit centers i.e 3100 & 3200

Document spliting is activated in both the company codes.

If we want to post FI Invoice in FB60.

First selected the companycode 2000

Selected the vendor belonging to 2000

Below:

Another line item of expenses selected, one expenses GL Account

BUT the company code selected for this line item is 3000 and selected the cost center 3200

After saving the Error of "No posting can be made to profit cetner 3200 in company code 2000" is coming.

I understood that it is because of First line item belonging to vendor is for 2000, so the profit center 3200 is inheriting to first line item which is not possible to post.

If iam able to provide the profit center in the Vendor line item the problem will be solved. But there is no profit center field available in any tab of vendor items.

I have checked the field status belonging to Posting key 31, the profit center is available which is optional, but not available while posting.

Kindly suggest how to select the profit center for the vendor line item.

Thanks & Regards

Hi,

Vendor line irem you will not find profit center field, this is Std SAP. It will pick profit center of another line item and post profit center to vendor. This is the Document splitting concept in SAP.

Hi,

are you trying to post an invoice in company code 2000 for expense incurred for company code 3000?

Please clarify

Hi Gangadhar,

I am trying to post the Vendor invoice in 2000 Company code but the expenses belongs to Company code 3000.

Because of document spliting the vendor line item is taking the profit center of another line item belongs to 3000 which is not possible to post in 2000. If i am able to manually give the profit center 2000 for the vendor line item the problem will be solved.

Is it not possible to have the profit center field in vendor line item though it can be through complex posting of posting key31?

Thanks for your response.

Hi,

Please check if the profit center 3200 has been assigned to co.code:2000 in Profit center master data (T.Code:KE52/KE53 in company codes tab).

If you assign this profit center to co.code:2000, then you are allowed to post the transactions.

All the best

Prasad

Prasad,

The vendor line item should not go to 3200 profit center as iam taking the full balance sheet per profit center. This vendor line item should go to 2000 profit center only.

Hi,

System picks the same profit center given in expense line item to vendor line.

You can follow the below process:

1. While invoicing: in co code 2000

Dr Intercompany clearing a/c

Cr vendor (2000)

2. Clearing the Intercompany transactions: in co code 3000

Dr Expense (profit center 3200)

Cr Intercompany clearing a/c

Please check
