Hi Krishna,

Yes, I agree with Sammar. You need to use user exit for the same and to have a more clear and concise user control for this. I will advise you to use validation after using user exit and put the check condition as PRPS-PRCTR = PRPS-FKSTL or PRPS-PRCTR <> PRPS-FKSTL then throw a proper error message that profit center is not matched up as responsible cost center.

I hope my observations does make some sense here.!

@Sammar:- Thanks for your feedback. After all, SCN is always a platform to learn new things. Feeling obliged to be in touch with good consultants like you.

Hi Sammar,

Just one doubt.

Have you given the static solution or a dynamic one ? I doubt whether this solution will work dynamically.

I believe you are asking to put or hard code the value under constant with the same value being maintained in cost center. If yes, then the number range/nomenclature of cost center and profit center has to resemble.

And also, if you try to give use PRCTR field and it will ask for profit centers only as a constant which are being maintained in the system.

But, may be I am assuming something wrong with your solution. and you might have observed the solution but I am not able to track that.

Hi Amit,

Thanks for pointing it out.. it will not work in a dynamic situation.. I didn't thought it out. I was asking for hard coding the field by writing a small code.. didn't put the details correctly..

Krishna,

Sorry for the half solution.. In your scenario is it possible that within the project structure you have different responsible cost centers? If yes ignore my earlier solution it will not work out..

Assuming there is a chance of having multiple Responsible Cost Centers within your project.. what you need to do is use the user -exit functionality and ask your abap team to write a simple code wherein you take the value from the Resp. Cost Center field and update the Profit Centre.

They may have to check for hierarchy wherein the Cost Center are different.

Hope it helps..
