Dear Malaika,
Control indicator
This flag activates Profit Center Accounting in the controlling area beginning with the specified fiscal year.
This flag lets other components easily see whether they need to perform activities for Profit Center Accounting. If the indicator is not set, no data is posted to Profit Center Accounting.
Actions
Maintain the desired control indicators for the current controlling area.
Then enter the control parameters for transferring actual data.
If you want to transfer plan data, you also need to create the desired plan versions.
Select the checkbox in the line with the correct fiscal year to activate Profit Center Accounting.
Note
In the view "Control Indicators for Profit Center Accounting", the system only displays those combinations of controlling area and fiscal year for which other control indicators in Controlling already exist. This means that other functions in CO must be active for the corresponding controlling area and fiscal year as well. These might include: Cost Center Accounting, Orders, Projects, Sales Orders, Profitability Analysis, etc. Since Profit Center Accounting takes its data primarily from these applications (the profit center is automatically posted in the background), it only makes sense to activate Profit Center Accounting if at least one of these other applications is also active.
If there are no entries for the control indicators then postings will not go through into PCA !!!!
Best regards,
Andreas
