Additional Process Information 

Profit center planning forms an essential part of your overall corporate planning.

The integrative character of corporate planning is particularly evident in profit center planning, as it allows you to summarize, expand and change planning data from other areas of your company.

The aim of profit center planning is to provide all the data and key figures available for a self-contained area of responsibility (profit center).

If the required pieces of data already exist, they can be transferred from their original objects to the profit centers. Any missing information (such as revenues, changes in stock, and so on) can be planned directly in Profit Center Accounting. For further information, see Direct Planning in Profit Center Accounting.

For the purposes of this scenario, the data is transferred from costing-based Profitability Analysis and Overhead Cost Controlling. You will transfer revenues and material costs from sales and profit planning.

You will transfer overhead costs and statistical key figures from the Cost Center Accounting application.
