Changing the work order concept .

Question

While creating  PM Order IW31 , I get responsible work center and profit center populated once I select the main work center .
My question is if I change the Main work center should the responsible work center and profit center change automatically ?In my case it does not change and my client is asking if they can be changed by some settings .
Along with this I have some doubts as where the following comes from and what s their significance.
>Responsible cost center(Additional Data)
>Profit Center(Additional Data)
>Cost Center (location tab )
>Cost Center (in settlement rule )

Answer 1

Responsible cost center(Additional Data)
This is labor cost center which have been defined in Main work center. In KP26, for the combination of this cost center & activity type which has been mentioned in Main work center, cost will be defined. So its important to calculate the Internal labor cost.
Profit Center(Additional Data)
Generally profit centers will be defined to club the costs & profits, so that in controlling, profitability analysis can be done. Each cost center will be assigned to profit center. More cost centers can be assigned to profit centers. For example, by means of production, company will get the revenue. By means of maintenance, they incur some cost. By comparing cost & revenue, analysis for CO can be done easily.
Cost Center (location tab )
This will be picked from Technical object (Equipment / Functional Location) masters. This is settlement receiver where order cost will be settled. So that, by seeing cost center based report, we can find out how much we spent on for maintenance.
Cost Center (in settlement rule )
Generally Cost Center (in settlement rule ) will be Cost Center (location tab ).
