Substitution rule - company code

[Former Member]

Hi

We are in the implementation phase of a new Company Code. When an item (IS-U billing) with the old company code has been reversed we will substitute the company code + GLs + CCs to the new ones. During the transfer to FICO from FICA (transaction FPG1) we get the following error message:

“Inconsistency between a document field and the prof. segment number       

Message no. KE396

Diagnosis

    A line item was assigned to a profitability segment (number 0000045781)

    which has the value 7100 for characteristic Company Code. The original

    document (FI document, sales order, internal order, etc.), however,   

    contains DIST in this field. It is therefore inconsistent with the    

    profitability segment found.“                                      

7100 the old CoCo, DIST is the new one.

Can anyone pls assist me how I can change the char value of CoCo of a profitability segment?

Thanks,

Hi,

  The error which you mentioned is CO-PA error as per my knowledge.

A profitability segment corresponds to a market segment. You can  calculate the profitability of a profitability segment by setting off its sales revenues against its costs.

Here, you have the old company code ---- 7100

                             new company code----DIST

First you change the char value of the company code in tcode :KEND by doing the COPA realignment.

If its helpful pls revert me back.

Hi,

By the given screen shots,

  I think you are directly select the company code in conversion rule.

Thats why the error came.

First select the company code in the selection condition tab and change the characteristics and then go to the conversion tab and  do it.

Hi,

Thanks for solutions described above but they are correct for change of COPA values in posted documents.

My problem appears during the posting of a document from FICA to FI (through transaction FPG1).

Once again the diagnosis in the text of the error message:

"Diagnosis

A line item was assigned to a profitability segment (number 0000045871)

which has the value 7100 for characteristic Company Code. The original 

document (FI document, sales order, internal order, etc.), however,    

contains DIST in this field. It is therefore inconsistent with the     

profitability segment found.  

Procedure

Enter the correct characteristic values on the CO-PA assignment screen.

The system will automatically assign a corresponding profitability    

segment number. If it is not possible to enter values in some of these

fields, delete the entire assignment to a profitability segment number

and then enter it again.                                              

As a rule, you should first enter the fields in the original sender   

document and then make the assignment to a profitability segment."    

According to the system procedure firstly I should enter the correct characteristic value on the CO-PA assignment screen.

My question is that how can I modify the characteristic Company Code to the new one instead of 7100? I think this would be the solution for the above problem.

Thanks again,

Gergo
