Resolution
System derives the Profit Center based on Company hierarchy. If an org unit is acting as a Company, then all the profit center maintained under this unit will appear while creating Journal Entry Voucher.
For example, Company is A and below are the org units with functions:
1) 1000 - Functions: Profit Center, Segment
2) 1011 - Functions: Segment, Cost Center
3) 1022 - Functions: Company, Profit Center, Cost Center
4) 1033 - Functions: Profit Center, Segment, Cost Center
Now, when you enter Company = A in Journal Entry Voucher and click on search option for Profit Center, you will see only two Org Units - 1000 & 1033. For your information, Org Unit - 1022 is also acting as a Profit center, but it will not derive because it is also acting as a Company. Therefore, if you enter Company = 1022 then you will see two Profit centers - 1022 & 1033.
