Change the profit centre in FI document

[Former Member]

Dear all,

My clients request us to inform the way to change the profit centre in FI document.

I have already informed to change it by using profit centre allocation in CO.

But they say that they need to change the profit centre in FI.

Thus, I would like to ask you if there are some ways.

And actually, root cause of this issue is that system post the FI document with dummy profit centre in FI.

Do you have any idea to avoid posting into dummy profit centre in case no profit centre assigned the source cost object (service order)?

I only have following idea but I feel there are risk to do:

1. Deactivate dummy profit centre

2. Develop check/substitution.

Note:

We are using New-GL and document splitting is not activated.

I know that this QA sounds wired but if you have any solution your idea would be greatly appreciated.

Best Regards,

Satoe

Hi Satoe San

1. You need to reverse the existing posting - Maintain PC in the service order - do the posting again.

That's the only way to make this adjustment in FI

2. To prevent posting with Dummy PC , write a validation in FI GGB0

3. You must not deactivate Dummy PC

Dear Ajay San,

Thank you very much for the reply.

I totally agree with you and I have explained same thing to user many times...

Then, I will try to develop validation in FI GGB0.

Let me ask an additioal question about the validation.

If I will develop this validation, system will show the error and stop the goods issue/billing from service order/sales order so on, right?

I am worrying because some billing can process even though it has accounting error. (System creates only billing document and accounting document will not created.)

If you know above your information would be so much appreciated.

Thanks and Best Regards,

Satoe
