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,

Hi,

Have you identified why no profit center is determined in the service order? Is it a design issue or master data issue?

Thanks

Hi Ali,

Thank you very much for the reply.

This is master data issue since in some irregular cases, user should maintain this field manually but sometimes they forget.

So we might be able to add varidation for profit centre in service order during goods issue.

Thanks and Best Regards,

Hi Satoe,

Can you describe the cases where profit center needs to be updated manually? It can be that you can use a substitution rule to get the profit center determined.
