Profit Center Default In Sales Order 

Question: 

In sales order we have profit center tab in line item --> account assignment. From where does this profit center comes here? The source I mean.

Answer:

Sales order takes profit center from material master view Sales: Plant/General data.

Profit center is assigned in (material master record) MMR in sales orgn 2 view. If you assign there automatically it will trigger in the sales order. In the item data -> account assignment tab .

This profit center is used in MMR because, once you do OR- LF- F2 for that material this material value has to trigger in the profit center in FI properly. 

After doing F2 and when you save a the Invoice i.e., F2, automatically an accounting document gets generated along with a profit center document also gets generated if you have assigned profit center to your MMR. 
 

In material master, I was created profit center PBB2K for part A but it is showing different profit center when sales order created. 
Advise why different profit center show in sales order? 

Check 0KEM for any sales order substitution for profit center.

In general, the material master profit center defaults to profit center, but at sales order you can change the profit center otherwise check 0KEM
 

It seems as though we have a FI setup in our system through which the Profit Center on the Sales Order is NOT defaulted from the Material master, but is showing up another value, could you please provide me the steps where I could look that up? What configuration is it from the FI side that is preventing the standard material PC to be over ridden? 

Please check OKB9, 

or

Simple,

It is in substitution,

Go to transaction GGB1 and see under the node profit center accounting. 

You will see that you can substitute the profit center in the sales order using substitution.

You can define your own here.
 

How can I make the Field Profit Center in the line item level of the sales order to mandatory?

You can do this by transaction variant.

Goto tcode SHD0, give t code as VA01. Make a transaction variant and make the fields mandatory.

or

Please include the Field Profit Center (PRCTR) in incompletion Procedure of Sales Order Item.  So without Profit Center Entry Sales Order will be incomplete.

Goto T.code OVA2 copy the procedure you are now working with and add the field vbap-Prctr.

In VUP2 you can assign your new procedure to your item category.
