Purchase Order Line Item

[Former Member]

Hi,

We have a PO line item. This PO line item is linked to a Profit Center ( Not directly ) .This item is linked to a Sales order in the " Account Assignment " tab and this sales order has a Profit Center.

My question is, normally where do we assign the Profit Cetner to a PO line item. Because I dont see any field for assigning a Profit Center to the PO line item.

Second, if the line item is linked to the Profit Center in the Sales order, why is it that a Purchase is being linked to a Profit Center?? As it is a cost and not a profit..

Thanks..

Srikanth.

Hi,

"My question is, normally where do we assign the Profit Cetner to a PO line item. Because I dont see any field for assigning a Profit Center to the PO line item."

If you purchase goods on stock, the profit-center is found from material/plant combination where a profit center is assigned in material master.

If you purchase something related to a CO-object (eg for a cost center, internal order...) the profit-center is taken from this CO-object master data.
