Principles
In PF1, the Profit center is used to allocate sales to an Activity 1, a group of Activities and an GBU. |
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_CONV 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. |
