Hello

I think you cannot create more than one Dummy PC. Moreover, you do not require more than one DPC. The purpose of DPC is to distribute costs to specific PC's when it's nature is known and the target is clear. For example expenses which cannot be allocated at the time of creation.

All the postings in Financial Accounting, Materials Management, Asset Management and Sales and Distribution and Controlling which affect profits are reflected in Profit Center Accounting

The nature of information could be

revenues, sales deductions

· change in stock of finished and semi‑finished goods

· change in work in process

· capitalized internal activities

· primary costs

· secondary costs

This data is transferred directly to Profit Center Accounting from the following application components:

· Transfer from Financial Accounting (FI)

· Transfer from Sales and Distribution (SD)

· Transfer from Materials Management (MM)

· Transfer from Controlling (CO)

· Transfer from Investment Management/Asset Management (IM/FI‑AA)

The assignment of a sales order to a profit center is passed from the sales order to the delivery note and then on to the billing document. The change in stock if posted to the profit center upon goods issue.

PC is assigned to the material master record and material movements capture this PC. Irrespective if GR ir Inv verification.

Any deviations are also posted.

Yes, we can create balance sheets in Profit center. As far as expenses, recievables / payables and stocks are concerned, there is no problem. It could be slightly tricky to distribute losses / profits / loans / capital to individual PC's.

So normally, balance sheet become meaningless and it is an ideal platform to calculate the center's profit only.

Hi,

As per SAP's Only one dummy profit center is possible to one controlling area.When we posting any transactions if you not enter the profit center in business transaction or cost object there is no assignment to profit center system automatically derive the dummy profit center and update the values to dummy profit center later we will identify the original profit center and transfering balances from dummy profit center to real profit center thru assessment and distribution.When you posting any transaction no need to enter the profit center manually any business transaction system automatically derive the profit center,for that we have to assign the profit center to cost center,internal order,material master,production order,sales order and Fixed Assets.

Path for the Assignment of account assignment objects to profit center is

SPRO-Controlling-Profit Center Accounting-Assignment of account assignment objects to profit center.
