Cost Center assigned to wrong Profit Center

[Former Member]

Hi experts,

I have a problem with the following.

There was a mistake in assigning the proper profit center to one of our cost centers. We begun with SAP on september, and I detected this error 2 weeks ago. I was able to change the profit center to the proper one, but there had already been some entries to de cost center, badly assigned to the wrong profit center. The entries made from that day on are OK, but I need to re-assign the proper profit center to those entries made before (there are 52 entries to re-assign).

Any idea how to do it?

Thanks a lot,

Alex

Hi

You can use 9KE0 to create profit center document... Using this, you can nullify the effect of old posting and create posting on proper pr ctr

Also, one cruel idea coming to my mind is to try KB11N where sender and receiver cost center is same.. I never tried it though, but would like to ask you to try it

Thanks Ajay.

I already tried that with KB11N but I couldn't make it work.

One thing I did try was KB61, and I was able tu anull the entry, but it was re-assigned to a partner profit center. Do you know how I can change the partner profit center to the real one?

Thanks,

Alex

Hi

KB61 is not the option for you in this situation... KB61 is used where you will need to change the CO object, especially to move the line items out of REO (Reco Object) to respective CO objects..

You will have to use 9KE0...

Another Crude way oif doing will be thru FB50 .

Enter a GL entry with same GL in Debit and Crdit

Same cost center is debit and credit

Correct Profit Center in Debit and incorrect profit center in credit..

This will also nulify your effect..

HI,

Better option is to try with 9KEO.

Hi Sarada

You can not do that... Once you enter cost center in a line item, Profit Center will be derived from the cost center... Even if you change the PC manually, it will be over ridden

@ Alex -

For 9KE0, Select a layout in the initial screen... The description of layouts will help you to choose the right one..

Execute and then click on the overview button (Mountain icon).... Based on the layout you chose, it will show you the next screen... Enter your GL account and old profit center and make a -ve posting... Then enter your GL and correct profit center and make a +ve posting...

Try this in a test client 1st

@Ajay

I tried that in 9KE0, but it tells me to create a number interval for local documents (don't know if it's the right translation, I'm in Chile and SAP is in spanish), and with that it doesn't take me to the next screen...

Hi

Use IMG > Controlling > Profit Center Accounting > Actual Postings > Basic Settings: Actual > Maintain Document Types > Define Number Ranges for Local Documents

Do settings in this path and i think it should be done

Hope this will solve it

OK, thanks Ajay.

Do you know if doing this could bring any bad consequences? Maybe there is a reason it hasn't been done before?

I'm new to SAP and I really don't know very well about the repercussions...
