You want to change the profit center but material stock still exists
Help Document

Diagnosis

You want to change the profit center in the material master record. However, changing the profit center could lead to inconsistencies in FI because stock data already exists for this material.

Examples:

  • Stock data already exists for a material and was posted with profit center 'A' according to the current assignment in FI. If you change the profit center in the material master (for example, to 'B') and the current stock is consumed, none of the old stock would be used up in FI (with profit center 'A'), and there would be a negative material stock posted on the new account assignment (profit center 'B').
  • If there are price differences for the material on profit center 'A' and these are only offset in FI after the profit center was changed and were therefore offset against profit center 'B', this causes more problems.

System Response

The action is terminated.

Procedure

If you want to enable the profit center to be changed, proceed as follows:

  1. Determine the potential effects of a profit center change on the corresponding balance sheet in FI.
  2. You can change this message from an error message to a warning. Do this in the IMG activity Define Attributes of System Messages (work area MM, message number 335).
