How to change Profit Center

[Former Member]

Dear PS Gurus,

Kindly help me out on this.

My Query:-

I am trying to create a PO using the T-code ME58. When i am selecting the PR and adopting it i get a message as "Profit Center was set to 9999". However i want to post the data to profit center 1300.To do so the system is asking me to to assign the PSG, cost center or other object to that profit center as well.

Diagnosis by the System

You entered profit center 1300 or transferred it from a previous transaction, such as material receipt from an external order. However, the system derived the profit center 9999 from the account assignments.

Kindluy suggest as to where i should go and change the profit center so that i dont get the error message while creating the PO.

Points will be rewarded.

Hi gokul,

In T-code OKB9 check the profit center is assigned to which cost center and cost element.

In mm03 check materail to which profit center it is assigned and in ks03 check the costcenter to which profit center it is assigned.

finally check the project profit center.

Dear NAG,

As suggested i checked the Proift Center in t-code OKB9. I found the details as follows:

CoCd - 1000 (IDES AG)

Profit Center - 9000 (IDES Portugal)

Cost Center - This field is blank

Cost Element - 800000

I checked the profit center in the material master also and found that the profit center 1300 is assigned, which is fine. Also i checked the profit center in my project. There too the same profit center has been assigned.

I changed the profit center from 9000 to 1300 in t-code OKB9, and tried making the PO.But still i am getting the same error.I have checked the entire list of profit centers assigned to CoCd 1000 in t-code OKB9 but nowhere i could find the profit center 9999 assigned. I am confused as to from where the system i picking up this profit center (9999). When i checked the details of the profit center 9999 it was found that it is a Dummy profit center but i dont know where it is assigned and from where the system is picking this Profit center.

Request you/anyone to knidly help me out in solving this issue. For your information i am trying this example in IDES.

Please help me out.

Thanks & BEst Regards,

Dear Pratap,

I checked in the material master.However no profit center has been assigned to the material.I assigned the profit center 1300 in the material master but unfortunately i am getting an ABAP screen.The screen shows a breakpoint. I dont know whether its an error or something else.Need to consult ABAP guys for this.I tried to avoid getting that error message by entering the profit center in the basic data tab page of the project definition but still am getting the same error.

Hi,

To proceed from the breakpoint screen, you keep pressing the "F8" button. Then see what happens. Or else ask an ABAPer to remove the breakpoint.

Dear Pratap,

I proceeded by pressing F8 and was successful in changing the material. Later i tried creating the PO, but the moment i copy the PR i get the error message "Profit center was set to 9999".

Where else do i go and change the Profit Center to 1300 so that i dont get this error?

Gokul
