Missing Profit Center (VBRP-PRCTR) in Billing Document

[NKX]

Hi SAP Gurus,

We are facing an issue where the profit center (field VBRP-PRCTR) is missing from several billing document items due to the customize logic. However, the value still exists in the corresponding COPA document.

This issue is currently blocking our business from performing delta accrual postings, due to the missing profit center value in the billing item. It causes delays in our financial closing process and affects the accuracy of our monthly reporting.

Upon further investigation, we found that the required value still exists in the COPA table. Therefore, we are considering the following workaround as a temporary solution:

• Develop a custom Z-program to retrieve PRCTR from COPA table where RBELN = Billing Document Number and RPOSN = Item Number.
• Update the missing value back into VBRP-PRCTR for affected billing documents.

We plan to execute this program during non-business hours to minimize system impact.

So, has anyone encountered this kind of situation before? Is our proposed solution technically feasible and safe, or are there any alternative recommendations you would suggest?

Hello,

If you have cross-company sales, it is possible that the profit center is missing, this is a standard system behavior. Please check OSS note 1532865. If this is the reason why you are seeing blank profit center values in VBRP-PRCTR, then you can check this note for a possible solution on the SD side.

If this is not the reason for the missing profit center and you are determined to fix the missing profit center at time of settlement, you can check transfer manager event 65, target structure KOMLFP-WERKS or KOMFLP-PRCTR and you can use sample class CL_WLF_TR_SV_6F_COMP_CODE as an example to write logic to populate the missing plant or profit center in the settlement document line item.

Hope this helps.

Thanks
