Kishore,
Profit center is used for internal controlling purpose. It helps you to analyze clearly the costs and revenues.
You can create Profit Centers according to product lines and Functions. Before creation of profit center we should do the basic settings you divide your business or company into internal areas of resposibility. You divide your business into profit centers by assigning it to master data like Materials, Projects , Cost centers, sales orders .
It is necessary to assign to SD sales orders to Profit Centers in order to reflect receivables, sales revenues and sales deductions on profit centers
The profit center assignment is also passed on from the sales order through the supply chain: sales order --> delivery note --> goods issue --> billing document. This means that the when a goods issue is posted, the corresponding revenue value for the goods is also passed on to the profit center of the sales order.
Each order item is assigned to a profit center. The system proposes the profit center of the material in the supplying plant as default, you donot assign profit center manually. This default supports both a product‑oriented and geographical division of your organization into profit centers.
AFter Creation of profit center you will assign sales order to profit center.
