Business Area, Profit Centre and Segment

Hi,
In my current business scenario shall I use Business Area, Profit Centre and Segment all together at a time or if I use Business Area and Profit Centre, Segment configuration is not required there. Kindly guide me these 3 activities and its exact purposes in the business.
With regards,
Samrat

Hi ,
We are using  ECC 6. In our business scenario profit centre is there. Under Document splitting there is a Business Area and Profit centre in config area.. Should we mention Segment field under document splitting. If we mention segment under Document Splittng inspite of Business Area, what are the problems may arrises ? Or if we mention all 3 (Business Area, Profit Centre and Segment field) in document splitting what may effect in other areas.
Kindly guide me.
With Regards,
Samrat

    Hi,
    What is the difference between Business Area & Profit Centre.
    how alternative profit centre is from business are.
    any documentation available.
    Regards,
    Shekar.

    Business area:An organizational unit in external accounting, which corresponds to a separate operational or responsibility area in the organization, and value flows recorded in Financial Accounting can be assigned to it.
    The business area should be treated as a separate economic unit, for which you can create an internal balance sheet and a profit and loss statement. The business area is, however, only an internal organizational unit and does not have any external impact.
    You define business areas if you wish to create a balance sheet and a profit and loss statement for internal areas, in addition to company codes.
    Profit Center:
    A profit center is an organizational unit in accounting that reflects a management-oriented structure of the organization for the purpose of internal control.
    you can use your profit centers as investment centers.
    Profit center Accounting at the profit center level is based on costs and revenues.  These are assigned statistically by multiple parallel updating to all logistical activities and other allocations of relevance for a profit center.

  • FI:Business Area,Profit centre

    Dear All,
    Its a ECC 6.0
    We have 4 different product & physically two plants Now is it possible to get different balance sheet at plant level & product wise?
    Or
    Is it mandatory to have different plants for each profit centre to get balance sheet at profit centre level & in this case how STO's will be apportioned.

    Hi!
    It is possible to have balance sheet Plant Wise. But, as per statutory compliance, I don't think product wise balance sheet is possible.
          One profit center should be allocated to only one plant. One profit center asignment can't be possible to more that one plant. In case of STO, profit center would change from supplying plant to recieving plant and same accounting entry would get generated at the time of Goods Issue from Supplying plant. At the time of GR document, no accounting document would get generated seperately for recieving plant.
    Hope it will clear your doubt. Revert back for more information.
    Thanks & Regards,

  • Business area & profit center

    hi sap gurus,
    When it is useful to activate new Profitcenter & when it is useful to activate Business Area.
    Can any body narrate difference and benefts of each
    Thanks & Regards
    krishna.

    Hi,
    Profit center and business are org units and both are used for similar purposes.
    Business area is gared on external accounting where as profit centers are used for internal accounting purposes
    Business Area
    Based on the above we can prepare Balance sheet and profit
    centre for separate product segment, geographical segment
    etc.  In India for certain companies it is the external
    reporting.
    Profit Centre
    Based on the above responsble profit centre derive the
    profit (only profit) (revenue minus expenses).  Internal
    reporting
    Thanks

  • Doubts on clearing line items in profit centre and deleting the profit cent

    hello All
    We are using ecc 5.0 and new g/l, document splitting is activated. We are not using classic profit centre accounting.
    We have two accounts which has values for profit centre 1010219.
    1. 228100 which is assigned in cross company code clearing account
    2. 228200 which is assigned in cross business unit ( as a part of zero balance account) in documen splitting.
    now i want to clear all he entries for this profit centre and transfer them to another profit centre 1010403.
    I am unable to do so as everytime I try to pass cross profit centre entry, Account 228200 gets a balacing line item( as a part of zero balance). this way my profit centre trail balance will never become zero.
    can some body help me with this,,,,
    1. in classic profi centre we could use t-code ke90 just to pass a document entry in PCA, this is not possible in new g/l... is there alternative.....
    please  help....
    thanks
    sanjeev

    Hi,
    You can try Profit Center Distribution(both sender and receiver gets original account numbers) or Assessment(Assessment cost element shall be a bring in between) to transfer values from multi profit centers to one single profit center or multi profit centers. The cycle can be run on a periodical basis.

  • Activity elements planned values not showing in profit centres and cc.

    Hi,
    i'm currently working on a project involving Co and PS. I'm in charge of the CO module and i've got a problem with planned values on activity elements and in PS. Planned values are calculated on activty elements and so are actual and they show in real time in profit centres and cost centres but not their planned counterpart values. i've absolutely nothing on profit and cost centres reports. Integrated planning is activated in PS and so is project in versions.
    i've asked the PS "Expert" and he said it comes from the "plan cost calculation" tab in cj20n, which obviously isn't the cause.
    Doesn't it come from the project profile or status profile customizing? (opsa or ok02)?
    Can the problem come from CO?
    any help appreciated
    regards

    Hi Sreenivas,
    thanks for your help and sorry for my late answer.
    what is the difference between FAGL_CO_PLAN and transaction 1ke0.
    when i log on transaction 1ke0, i can see all my planned values.
    wouldn't the issue be resolved by launching t-code faglgcle "fi-gl activate update of plan line items" ?

    In a case with New Ledger where Profit Center and Segment scenarios are activated:
    1. How derivate the Profit Center and Segment in a stock purchase, because here there isn't an expense account imputed to a Cost Center.
    stock             +1000
    supplier          -1000
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    Material Master will have a profit center attached and profit center amster shouldl have segment. And thus derivation of both will happen.
