This function lets you create the dummy profit center for the current controlling area.
The dummy profit center is updated in data transfers whenever the object to which the data was originally posted (cost center, order, and so on) is not assigned to a profit center. This ensures that the data in Profit Center Accounting is complete. You can later send the data on the dummy profit center to the other profit centers using assessment or distribution.
You create the master record for the dummy profit center using this special transaction. To change or display it, use the normal profit center maintenance functions.
The name of the dummy profit center is displayed in the controlling area settings for Profit Center Accounting.
The standard hierarchy must exist for the current controlling area.
Enter the name of the dummy profit center. The rest of the steps are the same as when you create a normal profit center.
Choose the function Extras -> Set controlling area first to make sure that the correct controlling area is set.
You can transport the Customizing settings for Profit Center Accounting under Transport tools.
