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


Check the consistency between the data present in the code, in the short name and in the long description



Check that the Reporting Division is within the validity dates in table ZZR_REPO_DIV



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




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.

 


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)
