Profit Center as fund center

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have created Cost Centers as Fund Centers for Expenses and Profit Centers as Fund Centers for Revenues. Now I have posted one vendor invoice vide transaction code FB60. The fund center derived by sytsm is a profit center which is attached to the cost center. Is this the stadard behviour? Becuase I have budgeted the items against the fund center which is created against the cost center. I want system to derive the fund center which is based on the cost center and not the one which is based on profit center.

How do I resolve this? Please advise

Please check your derivation rules. You can enter conditions in the rule that derives a fund center based on the profit center such that it applies only for revenue entries.

Hi,

Tried to make the derivation rule as under:

Source Field: Proft Center

Target Field: Cost Center

Condition: for Commitmnet Item < 4XXXXX (as we have expenses starting with 4 & revenues starting with 3).

Is anyting I need to modify? Pls advise..

Shailesh

Eli: I got your point, but I need revenues to be budgted, we budget them as per profit centers...

What do you mean by target field 'cost centre'??? You are not deriving cost centres, but FM assignment: fund centre, commitment item, etc. If you want to derive fund centre, based on G/L account (which I repeat does not make sense), you have to create the rule accordingly: source field (G/L), target field (fund centre) and fill the values. Alternatively, source field 'profit centre', target field 'fund centre' and condition G/L starting with 3*.

Eli,

Extremly sorry, it was Fund center only.. And Thaks a million, it is done. Now I am not getting profit center as fund center for my expenses...

Thanks again,

No problem

Hi,

There is no 'standard behaviour' as such for derivation of FM assignment: it all depends on your derivation rules. Please, notice that defining fund centres separately for cost centres and profit centres does not make much sense. Fund centres are budgetary objects and should combine all together revenues and expenses or concentrate on expenses exclusively.

Hi Shailesh,

In this type of structure, You should edit derivation rule which combines profit center and fund center. In that rule you insert a new condition that this rule will be applicable only for some specified revenue GL.
