3528048 - Project Task Expense Entries Posting Against Profit Center Instead Of Cost Center

Symptom

When posting expense entries to a project task, the system is posting it to the profit center instead of the cost center.

Environment

SAP Business ByDesign

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Go to General Ledger work center.
  2. Go to Reports view.
  3. Search for report: G/L Accounts - Line Items report.
  4. Maintain all company and set of books relevant data.
  5. Filter for journal entry ID: XXX (XXX represents the project task expense posting).
  6. It has profit center assigned not cost center.

Cause

The system always check the source document to derive the cost center in the journal entry. Click on the source document of journal entry to check whether there is a cost center maintained.

If there is no cost center ID column, add the Cost Center ID field via Personalization menu to see whether the field is maintained.

If a cost center is maintained and the G/L Account hit in the journal entry allows postings with cost center, then the cost center is derived.

Resolution

System behavior.
