titleUsage of the Profit center in PF1PF2

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

The Result (Reporting) Profit Centers are the basis for Group reporting

All elements for BFC statement are extracted from the Profit centers (except NETV, QTV and TPT which are extracted from CO-Profitability Analysis -> CO-PA). To make this extraction work (through interfaces), all objects in CO must be assigned to a profit center;
  • Material (plant level, Costing view)
  • Cost centers
  • CO orders
  • PM orders
  • PP orders
  • Cost collectors
  • WBS
The Result Profit centers are depending on the Profit center group “CHEFCHEOPS”. These profit centers are generally assigned to all the ERP companies;
The non reporting Profit Center are in group “CHEF_CNTRL

In WP2, since we can not restrict the usage of the profit center to a certain controlling area, it is recommended that whenever creating a new profit center in a certain controlling area, it's also extended to the VPART nodes in the other active controlling areas.
