Consistency checks to be made before validating a “PIF level” profit center : if one of these conditions is not met, we need to challenge / reject the request
STEP 1
Check the consistency between the data present in the code, in the short name and in the long description
STEP 2
Check that the Reporting Division is within the validity dates in table ZZR_REPO_DIV
STEP 3
In the table view ZZRT179V control that:
1 .The “ Flag PIF ” is ticked,
2. The PIF is not deleted - The description of Product hierarchy can't contain *D*
4. The validity period - We cannot have profit centers at higher / lower levels of the hierarchy than the PIF
STEP 4
Check the Business area assignment in the production plant is consistent with the Reporting division present in the profit center, in table view V_134G :
Plant = plant corresponding to the industrial origin, via transaction ZPRI with the “Establishment” of the industrial origin - take into account that it can be not the 3-character code but one of the 4-character code derived from that one; check also that this Establishment is still active / valid in that transaction,
Product division = the one corresponding to the PIF, in table view ZZRT179V,
- The Business area indicated in view V_134G must be consistent with the Reporting division of the profit center.
STEP 5
Check that the other profit centers for the same PIF are linked to the same or other Reporting divisions.
Taking into account that they are exceptions, such as for PIF U* for utilities which can be assigned to several reporting divisions, as well as some product lines for which there are several Reporting divisions (e.g. chlorovinyls Russia <> Thailand <> Mercosur)
