Dear Joanne,

Just Check for the material in

T. Code: MM02 --> Tab: Sales: General/Plant --> General Plant Parameters --> Profit Center

I think, Profitability center is attached to your Material Master, Hence trace the material when this error is coming and there after in mm02 check if your entries are maintained properly.

More information can be read in

hello, friend.

profit segment number is one of the required entries in the sales order item when CO is activated in your system. it is used for profitability analysis and may correspond to a market segment.

by preference, your material or group must have been configured by the CO consultant (KEDR one of the relevant tcodes) so that you do not need to enter this number manually in the sales order. profit center, which may be assigned to the group of which your material belongs, is a related issue.

if you entered the material as a sales order item before the relevant CO configuration, you can still manually enter this number (assuming CO configuration was eventually done) by going to menu > GoTo > Item > Account Assignment > Profit segment.

an alternative to this long process is, after CO config, to delete the item and re-enter it. the complete profit segment details will then automatically appear.

regards.
