Dummy Profit Center

[rey_miranda]

Hello SAP gurus.

Supposed that there is a new plant, and sales have begun, and accounting documents have already been created for the SD billing and order, and found that it has been assigned to a dummy profit center, can this be re-organized to point to the correct profit center? Also, where to link the profit center to the new plant?

Thanks for your time.

Regards,

Rey

You cannot change the Profit Center for the already posted document in FI.  Check with your FI if you want to deviate the standard process.  For information, if you search in Google with the text "Profit Center Substitution", en-number of documents you will get. 

where to link the profit center to the new plant?

There is no direct link between Profit Center and Plant.  You assign the Profit Center to a Company Code where you also create a plant.  Of course, you create a  material master in a plant where Profit Center is also assigned.

Thank you, G. Lakshmipathi.

Found out that the profit center is getting from material master plant record. Will do mass change to update the profit center there.

As for the second query, yes, no direct link, but good thing one invoice has only been posted so far. Will work on profit center substitution on the FI doc level.

Thanks again for the message, G. Lakshmipathi.

Well, the solution we did was to maintain the profit center in MM master (in our case), then to reverse the invoice and re-post to accounting to reflect the correct profit center in the FI doc and profitability segments...
