Urgent:Profit centre differing from SO to material master

[Former Member]

Hi SAP Gurus

May i know where from Profit centre gets populated in the SO(Line item level-A/c assignment Tab-Profit centre field).

To my understanding it gets populated from material master.

But i have a sales order wherein the PC has PC$$$$ but when i checked the material master data ,i could find PC##### in the sales general plant view.

Why it is differing?

What i need to check further?

Regards

Sush

As you have cited that the profit Center set in Material Master record is different to the value available at Sales Order, please check in following points:-

1:- Check the Change History log of the particular Sales Order.

2:- Check whether there are any User exit being used which is altering the value of Profit Center of the Sales Order with the help of Technical consultant.

Kindly share you observation based upon these above pointers.

Regards,

Dear Sushma

Go to material master "Sales:General/Plant" view and see what Profit Center is maintained. Compare the same with your sale order and see whether any change is made to this field.

You need to check as suggested by PJ. For further information on profit center substitution in sale order you can check the wiki:

Please have a look.

Hi,

Profit Center flows from the Material Master.

It could be differing ,

1. Somebody has manually changed the Profit Center in the SO.

2. Check if any Profit Center Substitution rule has been maintained.
