Update the functional area (AUFK-FUNC_AREA) directly in the table AUFK

[former_member232549]

Hello,

The OSS note 150959 gives a report, which directly updates the table field AUFK-PRCTR (profit center). Have you ever tried the same thing with the Functional Area (I am afraid to cause database incoherencies, if I do this) ?

We have to do this both for production and maintenance orders.

Thank's a lot for your answer.

Best regards,

Holger

Hi,

If the profit center accounting is active in the controlling area it is must to have the valid profit center maintained in the controlling objects to have proper accounting entries.

There are three ways to maintain the profit center for the production order- maintain it manually, default it from the material, default it from the WBS/Sales order assigned to production order.

The note talks about activating the user exit PPCO0006 which will default it from the WBS/SO assigined.

Please go thorugh supporting notes 176012 and 88644

As this will have an impact on the controlling part, better to get it clarified from your CO expert.

Hello Hemant,

Thank you for your answer.

But, we have to make a mass update of all production and maintenance orders in our system.

So we have to write a program, which is doing this.

In order to avoid the direct update of the table AUFK, we will write a batch input.

Best regards,

Holger
