Unfortunately, we have not turned on the new GL in ECC 6.0 (no doc splitting), so I don't really have any experience with that. The SDN message will hopefully help! Cheers, Byron Hi Shailendra,

The Accounting Doc and other Sales Docs will still have the original profit center. This may not be a problem if your profit center reporting is coming out of PCA or CO-PA (you'll have to fix CO-PA using KE21N or some other mechanism). If that is not acceptable, you may want to try the backing everything out and re-doing it. Byron Teree,

I'm not really clear to use 9KE0. Is the Act document (including sales doc, billing doc, SO doc) are still remain have the wrong profit center after running 9KE0? Only Profit ctr doc will fix it? Kindly clear me about this issue. Thanks! Hi Byron,

Certainly for the items that are already posted, using 9KE0 is a good choice, especially since the profit center has already been corrected in the material master. Your 2 basic choices for fixing profit center related items are: 1) undo the transactions with the material master referencing the wrong profit center and then fix the material master and redo the transactions. This is not feasible or even possible in some cases. 2) allow the incorrect transaction to stand (when it is only incorrect with the profit center) and then fix it in PCA usine 9KE0. As for your Sales Order, Billing Doc and Payment Doc, if the Sales Order has already shipped and billed, you have the above 2 options. If it has not shipped and billed (I think you say that yours has, so this is not an option), you can get the field to change the profit center on the Sales Order by changing the Sales Office (depending on your profit center derivation algorithm) or fixing the profit center in the Material Master, whichever may be wrong. The point being that you can change things on the sales order before it ships & bills. If you are using CO-PA (Profitability Analysis), don't forget to make your adjustments there as well. I believe you would use something like KE21N to make those corrections (out of the old profit center, into the new). I haven't used it myself, so I'm not 100% certain. Hope this helps, Byron Teree,

I found wrong profit center in Act doc. after payment posting. My user has made correction for profit center in material master but after posting is done. Can we use 9ke0 to fix this problem in CO internally? How to correct the Sales Order, Billing Document and payment doc then? Thanks! Hi,

To answer the rest of it, 9KE0 is definitely useful for correcting profit center posting errors, even after the GL is locked down. This is probably the main purpose for 9KE0. Byron Michael,

If so, then the answer as to whether 9KE0 is "top-level" is a bit complicated. 9KE0 can be used for top-side postings, even for postings done after the GL is closed. It can also (and often is) used to do just the opposite of a top-side posting, i.e. taking a summary level posting and splitting it up into multiple profit centers. The important thing to know about 9KE0 postings is that they have no effect on the GL. This makes them both useful and dangerous, because ultimately we want our GL to balance to Profit Center Accounting. For this reason, we try not to do 9KE0 posting between GL accounts, but to restrict it to moving $ around between profit centers. However, it can be used effectively in other ways as well. You just have to be sure you have a good handle on how you're going to use and make sure you monitor that strategy. Hope I answered the question you were asking. Regards, Byron Hi Michael,
