Profit Center update on Product Cost Object

[vivek_srivastava12]

Hi All,

I would like to know that is there any way in Standard SAP that if we change profict center on Material Master then the same profit center gets updated on Product Cost Object such as Production Order, Process Order, Product Cost Colletors etc.

Thanks!!

Vivek

Hi

Once the object is created, PC wont change automatically in them upon a change in mat master

you have to do it manually

We will put user exit or do a customization because all the Cost onject is to be updated..so user will not executre LSMW again and again.

Thanks all of you...

Hi,

In the PP production order, there is an option to read PP master data. unfortunately, there seems no option to rederive the Profit center in case of any change to Material master. I have checked in Profit center accounting too.

However, to minimise the errors, i suggest you can use a validation with a User exit such that the Production order Profit center is same as the Material master profit center, otherwise reject the posting.

Hi Siva

I dont think this exit will help much.. Even if we put this exit and reject the posting, ultimately the PC in prod order needs to be changed to make the posting pass through... Else the exit wont allow to proceed

It is easier to identify open prod orders for a material from T code COOIS.. So, better option is to go and change the PC in prod orders using an LSMW

Moreover, this exit will be called every time till the end of the system, whereas his issue is only for the prod orders open as of now

Hi Ajay,

I agree that the exit will be hit everytime. The exit will just help you to identify any such cases of discrpeancy so that we can correct it either manually or through LSMW.

1. You will code such that , only Open production orders are checked / validated.

2. If there are multiple materials requiring change of profit center, manually changing the PC in the Production orders etc may not be complete, ( means you may still miss out few PC changes).

3. The exit will help in avoiding postings to wrong profit centers, Once you get the error, atleast this indicates that the PO need to be changed.

Assuming this is a one time Job, You can deactivate the Validation rule, once you are sure that the Material master PC matches with PP master data.

Hi Vivek,

If a real account assignment object lie a production order exists in a posting, the profit center of this account assignment object must always be posted to. To make this sure, the PERFORM accountings_combination_check is called at

the end of K_COBL_CHECK.

Hi Greta

I think his question is different...

He has changed PC in mat master after creation of Prod Order.. now he wants the same PC to update automatically in all prod orders, etc

I dont think this is possilbe.. At the most he can use a LSMW for CO02 transaction
