INTRODUCTION
The main aim of Profit center accounting is to determine profit for internal
areas of responsibility. By Assigning balance sheet items (Fixed assets,
Receivables and Payables, Stocks) to profit centers, we can analyze our
companys fixed asset by profit center. Profit centers can be set up according
to product lines, geographical factors (region, offices or production sites) or
function (production, sales). We divide our business into profit centers by
assigning the profit centers to the various master data (materials, cost
centers, orders, projects, Sales orders, assets, cost objects and profitability
segments). Every profit center is assigned to the organizational unit
controlling area.
In our scenario we have already configured controlling area 9100 in e-book
Controlling configuration. In the controlling area settings for 9100 we have
switched on the component profit center active. A group which is a fast
growing group intends to have profit center based on product lines. We
therefore create profit center based on the product lines.
Let us proceed with the configuration of the profit center module.

1 Basic settings
For doing the configuration we use the following path on the SAP application
screen: SAP Menu Tools AcceleratedSAP Customizing SPRO - Edit
Project
Configuration for all the modules will be done here. The above path will
not be referred henceforth; we will directly refer to the IMG node.

The Dummy profit center will be updated, once we create the dummy profit
center.
We have switched on the elimination of internal business which ensures
that transaction data between two objects of the same type that are assigned
to the same profit center (such as two cost centers or two orders) is not
updated in Profit Center Accounting.
Since material ledger is active for the A Grp, we select the valuation view
profit center valuation. If the material ledger is not active we need to select
Legal valuation.
ALE distribution method We have selected no distribution to other systems
since we do not want to transfer data from one system to another. In case we
want to transfer master data from one system to another (development to
quality and production system) we need to select another setting.

Similarly create other profit centers such as 1101, 1102, and 1103 under profit
center group 11
Create profit centers under profit center group 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 and 99
Create a Corporate common profit center 9999 under the profit center group
99.

Other master data sets such as statistical key figures need not be
created again in profit centers since they are already created in the cost
center accounting module. The transaction code for creating statistical
key figure is KK01.

The two lines "Change in stock" on the receiver side cancel each other out.
The transaction is an external delivery from the point of view of the receiver
profit center, which is reflected in the line "Delivery from profit center".
Material withdrawal of a semi finished product 1 (profit center 1) for
production order 2 (profit center 2) using transfer prices
The stock value using legal valuation is: 1,000.00
The stock value using profit center valuation is: 1,200.00
The transfer price for the semi finished material is: 1,500.00

Let us create planner profile for excel upload (decentralized)
A file description is a generic file name for use with integrated Excel and with
the Excel upload function that assigns the cells in the Excel spreadsheet with
those in the planning layout. The system automatically enters a file description
when we save the generic file name for our Excel template. If you want to use
the same layout more than once, you can enter the generated file description
for the next planning layout

5 Actual Postings
5.1 Maintain Document Types
IMG Controlling Profit Center Accounting Actual Postings Basic
Settings: Actual Maintain Document Types
This option lets us define which document types are valid for allocating actual
data (assessment and distribution) and creating profit center documents.
The three columns for the transaction currency, local/company code currency
and third currency determine which currencies are stored for this document
type. Select all three.
The information on the number ranges used for local and global ledgers are
only displayed here. It is defined here automatically for when we maintain
number ranges for this document type later.
The profit center ledger "8A" is a local ledger.

In case there is a difference in FI PCA and in case you need to pass a single
entry in PCA you can select the balance check indicator 2 No balance check.
Normally we dont need to configure here anything.
