 Info System: Profit Center

Use

Within reporting, you can analyze all postings on the accounts relevant to business results (such as profit-related G/L accounts) both on an individual or summarized basis (for example, by profit center/account). A number of standard profit center reports from the Profit Center Accounting (EC-PCA) are available for this.

Integration

You can assign profit centers to the following objects in SAP Real Estate:

  • Real estate objects (business entity/property/building/rental unit)

  • Settlement unit/Master settlement unit

  • Lease-out

  • Management contract

  • General contract

A profit center is inherited to subordinate objects: If within the object hierarchy you have not specified a profit center at the lowest level (rental unit), the profit center of the higher-level object is used when you make a posting (if, for example, a building has not been assigned a profit center, the profit center of the business entity is assigned).

Prerequisites

A complete overview of all the postings that are relevant to profit and loss can only be assured, if:

  • A controlling area is available

  • The controlling area is assigned at least one plan version

  • Profit Center accounting is active

  • Profit Center groups and hierarchies are created

  • The profit centers are assigned to the individual objects
