Tobeginwith,thesystemdeterminesaprofitcenteronthebasisoftheoriginofthe
documentandanyspecialconditions. Itdoessobyoneofthefollowingmethods:
The system assigns the profit center dynamically on the basis of certain
characteristicsin the document itself. When this method is used, the currently
assigned profit center is always determined.
The system assigns the profit center indirectly on the basis of certain
characteristicsin aprecedingdocument. Whenthismethodisused, thesystem
does not take into account any assignment changes occurring after the date of
the preceding document.
Example:
• WhenyoumakeagoodsreceiptpostinginProfitCenterAccounting,the
system copies the profit center from the corresponding purchase order.
In the order, the system finds the profit center which is assigned to the
material/plantcombinationitcontainedontheorderdocumentdate.
• Itcouldbethatanotherprofitcenterhasbeenassignedtothismaterial/plant
combinationintheperiodbetweentheorderdocumentdateandthegoods
receipt posting document date. If so, when you make the goods receipt
posting, the system still copiesthe profit center that wasassigned on the
order document date.

You can analyze selected balance sheet items for a profit center. The profit
center can thus beexpanded tobecome an investment center. This allows you
to calculatekeyfigureswhich comparethesuccessof theprofit center with its
fixed capital (Return on Investment).
The balance sheet itemsare transferred to Profit Center Accounting at the end
of the period in conjunction with other period closing activities or, except for
payables/receivables,inrealtime(atthetimeofposting).
Figure35: BalanceSheetItems inProfitCenterAccounting
Thefollowingbalancesheetitemscanbetransferredonlineinrealtime:
• Materialstocks(rawmaterials,semi-finishedandfinishedproducts)
• Assets
• Work in process
You first need to enter the accounts you want to transfer to Profit Center
AccountingintheCustomizingtransactionforbalancesheetandprofitandloss
accounts. In addition you also have to transfer the opening balances from the
sourceapplicationonce. Aftertheopeningbalancehasbeencreated,thechanges
can be posted online to Profit Center Accounting. At the end of the year, you
needtocarryforwardthebalancesforthebalancesheetitemsthatwerepostedin

Figure 36: Value Flows of Actual Values
Before you can analyze your profits by profit center, the system needs to
summarizealltheprofit-relatedpostingsinprofitcenters.
Theprofit-relatedcomponentsoftheperiodaccountingmethod(revenues,sales
deductions,changeinstockoffinishedandsemi-finishedgoods,changeinwork
inprocess,capitalizedinternalactivities,primarycostsandsecondarycosts)are
transferreddirectlyfromthemySAPERPCentralComponentFI,SD,MM,CO,
IM and FI-AA to Profit Center Accounting.
The actual data transferred from the applicationslisted above canbe analyzed
using the standard reports in the information system directly after it has been
classified for period accounting.
Tocalculateprofitsaccordingtothecostofsalesapproach, youneedtousethe
