Postings without profit center ECC 6.00

[former_member2342]

Hi,

There are a few transactions which have been allowed by the system to be posted even without profit center.

How to

1. Prevent further postings without entering profit centers/cost centers.

2. Rectify the postings which have already been posted without profit center/cost center

Is the above because of software problem?

Hi Aravind,

How to

1. Prevent further postings without entering profit centers/cost centers.

Answer:

While creating New G/L accounts :Make profit center and cost center mandatory at field status level. for this create the seperate field status and assign otherwise change in current field status impact the existing G/L accounts.

For existing doc assign default cost center(in cost element master data/in OKB9) temperarily. Create CO doc with OKBA and the do reversal of FI doc. With these steps cost center report will be not effected as FI doc will be reversed automatically in cost center reverse entry will be posted.After this do not forget to delete the temprary assigned Cost center in cost element.

2.Rectify the postings which have already been posted without profit center/cost center

To post the profit center doc with refernce to existing FI doc use T.code 1ke8

To post the cost center doc with reference to existing FI doc use T.code OKBA.

Thanks,

Hi All,

Thank you for your response. We are using document splitting and field PRCTR Profit Center zero balance is ticked and partner field PPRCTR Mandatory field is also ticked. Any patch to be applied as given below? Does it work? We are in ECC 6.00.

An accounting document is posted without profit center, segment or business area, even though it is mandatory field in the document splitting characteristic configuration. The system may not allow to reverse or clear such corrupt line items, and users may get the following error while trying to reverse of clear the erroneous document.

Balancing field "Profit Center" in line item 001 not filled

Erroneous line items thus posted would have blank Profit Center even in the general ledger view.

All such inconsistent documents may be found from table FAGLFLEXA - General Ledger: Actual Line Items, Profit Center=Blank

Implement the following SAP Notes to prevent further occurrences of this issue

Note 1249888 - Simulate General Ledger: Incorr. data or dump MESSAGE_TYPE_X

To reverse any inconsistent documents which have already been posted erroneously before implementation of the above note, create an OSS message under the component FI-GL-GL-X

Even after application of the above note in testing client, I am in a position to post without profit center. How to overcome?

HI Arvind,

We applied this note in ECC6.0 and it worked.

In your development client if you still do not see a profit center in table FAGLFLEXA for the new documents which you post, you should raise a msg with SAP.

Hi,

No. After application of Note Note 1249888 now I am not in a position to post without profit center. It is being tested further in Quality client.

Hi Arvind,

Did you get the solution from SAP as to how you can correct the existing faulty postings without profit center in ECC 6? If so,can you please share with me as we too got the same issue in our company?

Dear,

If you are using document splitting then make profit center characteristic as mandatory and if not then make profit center field mandatory for all balance sheet account in transaction OBC4....because P&L accounts will have cost center which will in turn send document to profit center.

Documents already posted without Profit Center, use transaction 1KE8 to transfer them....

Hi,

Are you using Document Splitting?

If yes, then configure "Define Document Splitting Characteristics for General Ledger"

Financial Accounting (New) -> General Ledger Accounting (New) -> Business Transactions -> Document Splitting -> Define Document Splitting Characteristics for General Ledger Accounting

Else change the field status of either cost center or profit center in T-Code OBD4.

Rectification of already posted documents wouldn't be possible as per my knowledge. Really sorry, I couldn't help you with this.
