Hi Shantanu,

Yes you can. You'll need to assign an additional entry for the Organization Assignment on the Posting Parameters tab. Per condition type you'll then need to assign the right assignment number to make sure the condition amount is posted to the right profit centre.

Keep in mind that this profit centre is used for the contract posting. During the transfer posting (normally RE object but can be IO, WBS or cost centre) the profit centre that is maintained on the distribution object will be the receiver. So for example:

Customer          1000    

to revenue A               300     REC 1000     PC1

to revenue B               700     REC 1000     PC2

revenue A          300              REC 1000     PC1

revenue B          700              REC 1000     PC2

transfer accnt               300    RO1              PC3

transfer accnt               700    RO2              PC4

Based on this example you'll see that PC1 and 2 are zero and the the revenue is on PC3 and 4. Therefor you'll need to clearly understand what you want to achieve with the posting. You could also use a generic contract profit centre (normally receiving just credits and debits so zero in the end) and make sure that the distribution receiver is assigned correctly to the condition types.

It higly depends on the posting logic you plan to use. If you are not interested in contract revenue you can also use the Integrated Posting functionality that posts directly to the receiver.

Hi Andre,

If I understand correctly, the profit centre field is greyed out as standard solution in SAP when you try to assign multiple organisational assignments. Therefore in order to be able to assign multiple profit centres on the contract, we need to implement a BADI.

Note: The screen shot shown in your post reflect the greyed out field too. Thanks.
