Example: Direct Posting of Revenues
If you are not using the SD Module, you can post revenues directly in Financial Accounting. To do so, you need to create the account as a revenue element or a sales deduction.
If you are using account-based Profitability Analysis, you also need to make an assignment to a profitability segment. In this case, you must specify the profit center of the profitability segment.
Without account-based Profitability Analysis, the system updates the field "Profit center" directly to a so-called "reconciliation object" in Controlling.
In the latter case, the posting to the reconciliation object is treated as the real posting. Consequently, the profit center assignment is statistical here as well.
With account-based Profitability Analysis, you get the following

The characteristic "Profit center" is transferred to Profit Center Accounting.
Without account-based Profitability Analysis, the account "Revenues" is defined such that a direct assignment of the field "Profit center" is possible.
In CO, the system updates a so-called "reconciliation object" in the background for reconciliation with Financial Accounting. From the CO point of view, the posting to this object is regarded as the real posting.
The reconciliation object is a combination of company code, business area and profit center.
