The field "Department" of the profit center is a critical field that is used in BW to assign a cost center to a plant and then to a site. |
ex:
- The cost center 7512-1022 is assigned to the profit center 7512-I0449
- The department of the profit center 7512-I0449 is 7512
=> The cost center is assigned to the plant 7512
Depending on the type of profit center the department code can be:
- a plant code = a code maintained in table T001W in WP1 or PF1 (1)
- a generic plant code (only in WP1) created by GBU (2). This code doesn't exist in the table T001W.
Rule by ERP + type of profit center
| ERP | Type of profit center | Department | Example | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| PF1 | Reporting profit center | = "blank" |
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
= plant code By default the department code = profit center code without the letter C However the rule is to have one department code by site even if for historical reasons there can be several profit centers in the same site. ex: in Tavaux, all profit centers are assigned to the department TAU:
There is one exception when there are several management units / GBU in the site (only in GBU Soda Ash). In the GBU Soda Ash, there should be one dedicated department for Soda Ash another one for Bicar. ex: in Torrelavega
