With Profit Center Accounting, R/3 provides you with a periodic profit and loss statement for individual organizational units. The classification of the organization into profit centers forms the basis for the controlling activities of areas with internal responsibility, allowing business responsibility to be delegated to decentralized units.

Making profit center assignments lets you display profit-related business transactions in Real Estate, such as:

• Revenue from basic rent
• Operating costs
• Heating expenses

Your cost planning activities on Real Estate objects are not updated online in the profit center of the assigned Real Estate objects; you have to run a report to do this as a background job.

You can assign profit centers to the following Real Estate-specific account assignment objects:

• Business entity
• Property
• Building
• Settlement unit
• Rental unit
• Lease-out
• Management contract
• General contract
