RE - Change profit center and cost center after LO activated

Hi ppl, One question. Is there any harm if we change the profit center and cost center of the business entity, building, rental unit only after the lease out has been activated?

No need to change the cost center, as you want to have valid from date as 01.10.2010.
Having profit center before that date is not an issue and does not have any negative impact.

Functionality of Profit Center and Cost Center

Hi,
I am unable to understand the functionality of Profit center and cost center, I know that cost center represents area within an organization for which you will like to see the expenses for a particular time period. for example in an organisation we have three cos centers Accounts, HR and Admin. whenever you post an accounting document in FI you will specify the cost center to which the expense relates. but in some cases when you post an expense and give the relative cost center the profit center is also driven by the system. why is this behavior? i mean i have posted an expense not an income then why is system driving the profit center as well?
Profit centers are used if you want to see the profit of different area of your organisation. in what kind of postings we use profit center? and if we could use profit center to draw income and loss for a specific area why do we need segment reporting? and what is the difference between Segment and Business area. what i understood from their definition is that they are both same and use for same purpose.
I am totally lost in these concepts. please some one help me out with an example. i am stuck at this point. some one please clarify my concept of Profit Center, Cost Center, Segments and business area please.

Hi,
Cost center & Profit Center are organizational units within the enterprise structure , created for better internal control.
As the name suggests Cost Center is the lowest level of the organizational unit representing a defined location of cost incurrence or otherwise to which you can meaningfully assign the cost(both direct & Indirect).
Profit Center is an organizational unit in accounting ,where management would require to see the profitability & fix the responsibility. It may be each plant/division of the company .
If you consider the Plant is the Profit center, you can take the various deptts in the Plant as cost centers. you can draw a balance sheet & profit & loss account statement at profit center level but this will be for your internal use.From this you can know the ROI on particular area. Profit centers are assigned inside the cost center so when you update cost center, profit centers are updated automatically.
Where as Segments are used for legal reporting of your accounting standard as per IFRS. Both Business Area & Segments are more or less same with some technical difference.
Business area is a free organizational unit. It can be derived through cost center or can be entered manually.
But segment is a dependent organizational unit. It is defined & attached inside the profit center master data. It can’t be entered manually.
SAP suggest to use the Segment concept.
Thanks & regards

Assignment of Profit center in cost center

Hello Friends,
What is the significance of assignment of profit center in cost center ? System does not allow me to post activity prices in KP26 without assignment of profit center to cost center. It gives error that
"Profit center 1000/DUMMY_PCA does not exist for 01.04.2009"
How to solve this error with out assignment of profit center in cost center?
Waiting for reply!

Profit Center is an Organizational unit in Accounting that reflects a management-oriented structure of the organization for the purpose of internal control.
Hence its Assignemnt with Cost center should be there for proper assessment of Organisation.
If you do not assign a profit center, the SAP System transfers the data from the dummy profit center defined in configuration for the respective controlling area to Profit Center Accounting.
Therefor proper cost center with Proft center assgined has to be used for Cost center / actvity type planning in KP26.

Profit center vs cost center

Hello Friends,
is profit ctr info needed in cost center planning?
if so, could you advise how profit ctr info is used in cost center planning.
regards
Markus Zambizi

The cost center is assigned to a profit center in master data . You don't need the profit center in cost ctr planning. You would plan your profit centers in PCA planning. There is a function in PCA to transfer plan data to PCA from CCA which makes it much easier.
pls assign points to say thanks.
