Analyze Settings (SAP Library - Profit Center Accounting)

Analyze Settings

This function lets you display and check the settings for Profit Center Accounting.

At this time the system checks the following settings. The analysis always applies for the current controlling area:

General control information which is maintained in Customizing:

control indicators for each controlling area

dummy profit center

standard hierarchy

profit center report currency and

other indicators (elimination of internal business, storing of transaction currency)

fiscal-year dependent control parameters for plan versions (lock indicator, line items, online indicator)

fiscal-year dependent control parameters for actual postings (lock indicator, line items, online indicator)

the business activities which are transferred to Profit Center Accounting

additional technical control information for the General Ledger, which is used for updating data. These control entries are created automatically in the background. No manually entries are required.

assignment of the company codes in the controlling area to the fixed ledger 8A (Table T882)

additional control information for the plan versions (Table T894) and fiscal-year dependent version parameters (Table T895)

General control information for the fixed profit center ledger 8A (Table T881), such as the storing of three different currencies or the debit/credit indicator

In addition to this information, a check is made for consistency between the profit center standard hierarchy and the master data of the profit centers contained there.
This test recognizes inconsistencies in the target system after transporting customizing settings.
First, the system checks whether or not master data exists for all the profit centers contained in the standard hierarchy. Then it checks whether all the existing profit centers are contained in the standard hierarchy.

Further Notes

If inconsistencies occur in the technical control information of the General Ledger, you can create this information automatically using the function Update.

If inconsistencies occur in the master data, check whether the master data or the standard hierarchy has been transported. If either of these is incomplete, transport the missing information.
