Technically, transaction data is updated in Profit Center Accounting using the tools of the component FI-SL Special Purpose Ledgers. The ledger "8A" is a so-called fixed ledger , which is maintained entirely in Profit Center Accounting.
In addition to the application-specific control tables, other tables also must be maintained for the internal control of FI-SL. This usually takes place automatically in the background when you maintain higher-level settings in Profit Center Accounting.
Under some circumstances, such as when you import customizing settings or change an assignment of company code to controlling area, you may need to generate these additional control entries manually.
The following control information is generated or checked:
If important entries (in Table T800A) are missing, you need to run a generation program in FI-SL to install Profit Center Accounting. No data may be posted in any productive client in your system while this program is running! This could cause postings to be lost without your becoming aware of it.
The program sends a confirmation prompt, so that you can inform your users accordingly. Once you have made sure that no more postings are being made, you can confirm. Then the system automatically generates the objects. This should only take a few minutes.
Preconditions
Profit Center Accounting must be active in at least one operating concern.
The Customizing settings for Profit Center Accounting must have been either maintained manually in or imported to all controlling areas.
In addition, the assignments of company codes to controlling areas must be up to date.
Further notes
If you are not sure that all the internal control tables are up to date, check this using the function Analyze settings.
