Profit center not maintained properly

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

We are into a manufacturing company, whose production takes place at 2 locations but have 4 sales depo(including production depo). In SAP, profit center was maintained for all the 4 location but for 1 location the profit center was not maintained properly.

Ex: 4 locations are-

1. Andheri

2. Bandra

3. Dadar

4. Mumbai CST

Hence Mumbai CST and dadar are 2 production location as well as sales depo where as Andheri & Bandra are 2 sales depo, no production carries out at these two location.

So the actual problem is at the time of implementation Andheri depo got assigned with Bandra profit center and now we want to change the configuration of Profit center assignment for andheri. Also the Billing process was also completed for 4 months and now we are thinking to change the configuration of wrong profit center assignment without impacting the previous billing carried on.

Kindly guide me as what all impact it will make in SAP if we change the profit center of 1 sales depo? Do we need to clean the previous billing process and make new entries? What impact will go in FICO at year end?

Please guide with this subject of profit center.

Hi Sweta

  Basic concept of profit center is to design for reporting and any change may only hit your reports not any financial entry...so In my opinion not a worried situation...

  1. Make/ decide a cut off date , better from start of any period

  2. Create new profit center  as required under proper hierarchy

  3. Before cut off date, better at last day transfer all data from wrong PC to correct one

  4. Also see any open orders related to old PC is pending..either make them correct or cancelled

Hi Sweta,

1. Check any open sale orders or open POs exist for the material. If exist, then delete it.

2. You have to change it in one cut off date. In the meantime check the postings for the profit centers and do transfer posting to the correct profit center by manual JV.

3. Then after do changes to the master data.

Thank you for the quick response.

But we can't post manual JV with respect to profit center.

And reversing all sales billing of 4 months is very tedious task.

Please guide.

Hi,

Change the desired profit center in the mater master.

Previous postings will be with the old profit center only.

New postings will happens with the New profit center.
