Hi Experts,

One of our client is currently created the Profit = product group, with that he is not able to generate the Plant level reports, hence asking to created the new profit center @ Plant level for the reporting purpose,

while try to change the Profit for the same in the material master system throw the below error.

Please throw lights on this is there any way we can achieve without the inconsistence.

ERROR:

You want to change the profit center but material stock still exists           

 

Message no. MM335    

 

Diagnosis            

 You want to change the profit center in the material master record.       

However, changing the profit center could lead to inconsistencies in FI 

because stock data already exists for this material.         

Examples:          

O Stock data already exists for a material and was posted with profit      

center 'A' according to the current assignment in FI. If you change           

the profit center in the material master (for example, to 'B') and              

the current stock is consumed, none of the old stock would be used        

Procedure          

If you want to enable the profit center to be changed, proceed as          

follows:               

  1.             Determine the potential effects of a profit center change on the             

corresponding balance sheet in FI

  1.             You can change this message from an error message to a warning. Do   

this in the IMG activity Define Attributes of System Messages (work      

area MM, message number 335).

Regards,

Santhosha BH

Hi Buddy, Please refer to note https://me.sap.com/notes/2552651/E for your concern , especially pay attention to explanation about cloud part below.

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition Make sure that no stocks in actual AND previous period exist! see SAP Note 30656, with an example how to get zero stocks ( use the Apps 'Display Stock Overview' and 'Stock - Single Material' to view stock available) Select all PO items for the related material and delete them using the app Manage Purchase Orders Archive Production Order for the all items of the related material/plant using the App Analyze Archiving Variants Distribution These hard restrictions are necessary as inconsistencies in account assignment will follow after change of profit center, when proceeding follow up functions of a po item before and after changing profit center. So, all depending purchase order items of this material/plant have to be marked for deletion Use SSCUI '103090 System Messages' to customise type of message raised In the app Manage Your Solution , the messages MM 335 'You want to change the profit center but material stock still exists' , MM 326 'There are still open purchase order items or scheduling agreements' or MM 327 'There are still production orders for the material' are customizable as a Error ( 'E' ) , Warning ('W') or The message can be suppressed (' ') in the SSCUI '103090 System Messages'
