Profit Center

[former_member319737]

Dear Expert.

while payroll run system throwing messages field profit center is a required field for g/l account 307122 (Provision for expenses A/C).

In field status variant field status group for profit center is required field. we can't optional field  for that field status group, if we do optional field for that G/L we can't derived profit center wise report for that field status group which is used for g/l.

we can't default account assignment through OKB9 because our G/L is a Balance Sheet Item.

we can't maintain field status for posting key 40 through OB41 as a optional field, because if we do that it will take optional field for all 40 posting key.

we can't assign in FAGL3KEH as a default profit center, because we can assign one g/l in a one profit center we can't assign one g/l to many profit center, here this 307122 (Provision for expenses A/C) used for multiple profit center.

please give solution.

Hello Debasish

The best solution in this case would be to maintain OKB9 in the (source) HR system for these GL accounts and pass the cost center information in the interface between HR and R/3 system.

This will ensure the profit center is derived from cost center to which employee is assigned to.

Just to add you can also send cost center from HR to R/3 as part of interface...

In OKB9 we assign only cost element  not balance sheet item, because all line items are Balance sheet item.

Hi Bebasish,

Is that employee have master cost center in PA30. If document splitting is activate. System automatically pick the profit center from Expenses GL account.

Hi Preeti,

Thanks for response, but the thing is that there is no expenses account when payroll is run. Both line items are balance sheet item.

Accounting entry:

Provision for Expenses A/C----Dr.

     To Vendor A/C.

If all the accounts are balancesheet account then we have only 2 options:

1. Maintain FAGL3KEH in HR system and then pass on the PC in the interface

or

2. Maintain a substitution in the target system

In FAGL3KEH we can assign one G/L with one profit center, we can't assign multiple profit center in one G/L & what is PC interface can you give more explanation.
