COPA Charcteristic group for assignment screen --KE4G/ FBCJ

[Former Member]

Hi,

We have Account based COPA. I have created one Charcteristic group and have assigned this group to Business Transactions which are RFBU, RFBV,RFIG,RKU2(T code KE4G). In entry aid,only cost center and profit center is required in Profitability segment being real cost object while posting any revenues. (SD module is not implemented).

In invoice posting (T code FB70) user has to first specify Cost center and has to click on Prof seg tab being real cost object . Here the profit center gets automatically picked up as it is defined in Cost center master.

Now the problem is , in Tocde FBCJ, (Cash receipts) if I select business transaction type "other Receipts" and use the same GL of revenue which I use in FB70, system is not deriving Profit center automatically even if I am specifying cost center first and clicking on Prof seg tab

What could be the problem? Do i need to add any other Business transaction in Tcode KE4G or any setting is required in FI.

Request for the help.

regards,

makrand

Hi

I dont think any addition in KE4G is going to solve it..

I was just wondering - why you put a cost center 1st and derive PC from it.. Instead of entering Cost center, why not think of entering a PC directly in the PSG tab... It will be same effort - entering one object instead of other

Hi Ajay,

Thanks for the reply. Actually If you want the revenues to be captured at Cost center level (Statistical posting) then cost center entry is required. If you directly click on Prof Seg tab, only Copa Document will be generated and not controlling document.

Second thing is. if the cost center is mentioned first and after that Prof seg tab is clicked then system automatically derive Profit center. If first entry is made in Prof seg tab, user has to first select cost center and after that profit center. ( I mean extra effort will be required) so it's a two time entry of cost objects

Now I am not able to understand why ssytem is not picking up the profit center automatically in Prof Segment. Is anything required to be done in FI?

Hi

I dont know why in FBCJ it should behave differently...

Can you try the below steps and see if PC gets derived from CC in FBCJ

1. Try to post the entry just be entering a CC..

2. System would give an error that real object is required for posting

3. Convert this error into warning in OBA5...

4. Now try to repost the doc right from start in FBCJ

Once the doc gets posted, check if PC is derived or not... Ofcourse, you can do this only in a test client
