There are 2 types of profit centers in PF2: 

1. Reporting profit centers

In PF2, the determination of the business structure is done in the P&L using a reporting profit center  that is in the  COPA posting.  To make this everything works (through interfaces):

• All material codes should be assigned to a reporting profit center (in the view "costing 1")
• All objects in CO should be assessed to a profit center in COPA 

2. Organizational profit centers

All CO objects (cost centers, orders, WBS) are assigned to a non reporting profit center

In WP2 the profit center is used to:

Assign the following variances to the P&L (COPA)

• Variances on purchase
• Inventory differences
• Variances on transfer
• Variances on process order
• Revaluation variances

Split the Working Capital by enterprise

• Split the accounts payable and the stocks by CGU (Cash Generating Unit)

Calculate some indicators of the industrial dashboard and identify by Value Stream

• Inventories
• Variable costs (the actual ones posted through process order)
• Fixed costs (from the direct production costs center)
• Freight on sales costs (from the P&L and freight on sales cost centers)
• Accounts payable
