Profitability analysis allows you to evaluate user-definable profitability segments (such as products, customers, product lines, regions, business areas etc). The aim of the profitability analysis system is to provide your sales, management board, and corporate planning departments with information to support internal accounting and decision making. Based on the profitability segments that you choose for your organization, profitability analysis allows you to create your own tailor-made reports to analyze gross contribution or other operating figures (per profitability segment or a combination of profitability segments).
