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

Now, if you change the Business Area and Profit Center what would be the business impact.
thanks,

Hi,
First of all itu2019s not a good business practice to change the Business area and Profit Centre.
However if at all l you change the Business area and Profit centre the following is the impact::
Business Area: effects the sales order in accounts assignment at Header level.
Profit centre: effects the accounting part at Item level
Overall in MIS reporting w.r.t Profit and Business Analysis in Finance will be affected.
Thanks and regards

Business Area & Profit Centre

< MODERATOR: Message locked. Please post this message in the [Controlling forum|SAP ERP Financials - Controlling;. >
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.

Difference between Business area and profit center accounting

Hi Frnds,
Can any body explain about difference between business area and profit center accounting .

Hi
Business area will have many profit centers. For example Vehicle is a business area in a company. Vehicle can be cars and Bikes etc. Here Vehicle is business area and Cars and Bike are profit centers. In broad Vehicle is a profit center. But as it has sub areas those are profit centers. So profit centers cannot be replaced with business area and vice versa. We can replace business area by Profit centre, only condition is that it should be in same controlling area. The business area is more like a business unit of a company. You can have multiple profit centers within a business area.
Main distinguish factor is that distribution and assessment in possible in profit center but not in business area.
One more distinction is that Business area need not be attached to any organisation structure. But profit centres can be created only under the controlling area. Business area can be across controlling area.
Business area concept is used for making stragic decisions by the management whereas the primary purpose of profit centre accounting is responsibility accounting.

profitcenter.
thanks,

HI
Read below
Profit Center - The profit center view shows the various
internal areas of responsibilities. Objects such as cost
centers, materials, etc can be used for profit center
analysis. Profit center can be used to determine the
revenues, costs, and profitability for specfic areas of
responsibility.
Business Area - Business area forms an important part of
external reporting. Analysis of various segments, product
divisions, regions etc is possible using business areas.
Business Area: This is optional
This can be used cross compane codes
This is for Internal Purpose
It is not Legal Entity like Co Code
The transation entered in Business are, Debit total will
not tally with credit total
Since it is used for segment wise or area wise or line wise
this is used for internal report purpose only .
Balance Shhet and P & L stataments can be drawn on segment
wise
Profit Centre: Generally in terms of SAP or Finance the
meaning of Profit centre is to know the profitabilty.
In same manner , The managers wants to know the ROI from
their investments, obviously we nned to use the tool.
This ROI may be geographically or area wise or division
wise. P.C provided us profitablity of the particular area
for internal purpose ( Only for Internal )
Business Area is an optional entry.Whenever company wants
financial statements businessarea wise we can maintain
BAs.And also we can maintain BA as Segment Wise,Product
Wise,Geographical Location wise.
Profit center is used to know the profits of companies.PC
is also used for to know the profits as aProduct
wise,Segment wise,geographical location wise.If anything
wrong inthis answer plz correct me..
Hope this helps
Good Luck
Hari

Any idea for it? Thanks.

hi Kyle,
thanks for the effort, but it wasn't the thing i asked for ...
what i would like to find out is:
if CO area settings are set w/o profit centers, why the system still demands profit center assignment with cost center master data (ie.)
well, i can always turn off the message, but this isn't the solution i want to use ...
i will rather open one PC (along with dummy, of course) even though those are not used for the customer ... although, this will not solve statistical posting to cc with cost element category 11 ...

Difference between business area and costcenter

Hi All,
Could u pls let me know the differences between Business Area and Cost Center.
Awaiting ur valuable responses.
Thanks & Regards
Chennuri

Hi,
i am giving a realtime information on business areas and cost centers.
For our company we have 25 branches. in sap we treat all of our branches as a seperate business area. the reason why we maintain business area. at the month end or year end financial statemensts are generated on company code basis and business area base. so we consider branches as a business area.
Cost center is like a cost object.
Hope this is clear,
Regards,
Sankar
