Hi

Based on specific values of sales office and sales group, the profit center should be determined. This should be done irrespective of whatever profit center is maintained in the material master."

My suggestion would cover the standard SD cycle of sales order processing - you may try is `Substitution in Sales orders'. (An extension of Alison's idea)

IMG -> Enterprise Controlling -> Profit Center Accounting -> Assignment to Profit centers -> Sales orders -> Sales order substitutions -> Define Substitution rules (0KEM)

What you would like to do here is to define a substitution for the field profit center (PCASUB-PRCTR). In the pre-requisite, include your sales office (Table field - CASUB-VKBUR) and sales group (PCASUB-VKGRP). Then state substitutions for your profit center.

You would then have to assign the substitution rule to your controlling area

and set it as active.

IMG -> Enterprise Controlling -> Profit Center Accounting -> Assignment to

Profit centers -> Sales orders -> Sales order substitutions -> Assign

Substitution rules (0KEL)

After activating the rule, create and save the sales order; check the profit

center field in the sales order, whether the desired substituion has taken

place. Subsequently when you raise the invoice, the substituted profit

center should get posted to in the various documents

If Profit Centre is maintained in Material Master Data, in Sales: General / Plant data, then the same will default in sales order.

Incase you also have project system configured, then the profit centre maintained in Project will supercede the profit centre maintained in material master.

If the profit centre is to be maintained manually in sales order, then select the Line Item --> goto Item detail (First Icon below all line item) --> next goto Account assignment Tab page --> Maintain Profit Centre.

Profit center can be entered at the item level in the sales order T.Code: VA01, in the Account Assignment Section.
