In addition to the standard hierarchy of the controlling area, you can also create alternative hierarchies, which are called "profit center groups". These can be used in planning, in allocations or in the information system.
Unlike the standard hierarchy, the profit center groups do not have to contain all the profit centers in the controlling area. They let you select and regroup several profit centers in a meaningful way.
Actions
Enter the controlling area and the name of the profit center group. You can then enter or change the compressed nodes, end nodes and profit centers which you require.
Notes on transporting
You can transport the Customizing settings for Profit Center Accounting under Transport tools.
