Principles


In PF1, the determination of the business structure is done in the P&L (KE30 - Profitability report) using the profit center of the COPA posting. 


Determination of the business structure using the profit center


The following rule is applicable when the codification of the profit center starts with a D or a F. When the code of the profit center starts with another letter (ex: S, E or C), it can not be allocated to a business.




When the code of the profit center starts with D or F, the system looks at the Profit center name in english.

It can be displayed with KE53 - Display Profit Center

Example: 

The name of the profit center F47ABBXXE1 is 747 ABB 0227E

The system takes the position 2 & 3 of the Profit center name. It corresponds to the reporting division

Example: 

The reporting division of the profit center F47ABBXXE1 is 47




In some cases, the "reporting division" is replaced by the "converted division". It is done using the exception table ZZR_REPO_DIV_EXC that is maintained at company code level. 

Example: 

In the company code 0125, the reporting division 47 is replaced by the converted division 59

In other companies, the reporting division remains 47




The activity 1 is determined with the table ZZF_BFC_DIV_COVV using the original or converted reporting division. 

Example: 

The division 47 corresponds to the BFC Activity 1 = 47

The group of activities is determined with the table ZZR_REPO_DIV using the original or converted reporting division. 

Example: 

The division 47 corresponds to the BFC Group of activities = SDERI

The GBU is determined using the group of activities with the table ZZR_REPO_SBU

Example: 

The group of activities SDERI belongs to the GBU SD Soda Ash & Derivatives.
