SAP 0KEL Transaction Code: EC-PCA: Substitutions

In this blog, I would like to present some  ways of comparing DME Trees, Validations / Substitutions / CO Templates (CPT3) etc. Normally before moving these kinds of changes to Production Client, a lot of precaution is required. Care should be taken to ensure that some existing values in Production Client are not overwritten by values from Development Client or Quality Client to avoid serious inconsistencies. At other times, we may also be required to compare the values between different Client’s for certain audit purposes.  In addition, I shall touch upon the document relationship features in...

We created sales order. Further we did delivery, PGI and then billing. When we did 'release to accounting', it gave error "Enter CO object for GL 321000" My GL account 321000 is revenue account (with 11 cost element category) Hence it should pick up profit center from material master. But its not happening.

"The profit center is defined at sales order level. Depending on the system settings the profit center comes either from the material master (View: Sales:General/Plant) according to delivering plant (transaction MM03) or from the Sales order substitution rules defined in profit center accounting (transaction 0KEL). With these rules the profit center can be defined for example according to sales organisation, product or customer characterics."

I have a situation where we are making a sales, but since the material belongs to a different plant, 2 invoices are generated - intercompany invoice and customer invoice. The problem is that the profit center on the customer invoice is not showing up (it shows up on the intercompany invoice).

"I am trying to use a profit center substitution for this, but can't get it to work. I have a very simple user exit as a test that changes pcasub-prctr yet this doesn't work. (it is activated in 0KEL)"
