SAP Note 11857 - Profit center for asset postings.

Symptom

When you post an asset, the data is posted to the dummy profit center instead of the profit center of the responsible cost center.

Cause and prerequisites

1. In the profit/loss account for asset retirement, a cost center cannot be assigned in the field status definition.

2. The particular posting is not the result of an asset retirement.

Solution

1. Change the field status definition.

2. As a rule, only asset retirements are posted to the responsible profit center, otherwise values would be recorded twice on the profit center - at the time of acquisition and for depreciation.
