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.
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_EXCthat 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.
