Profit Center Accounting (EC-PCA)

Profit Center Accounting forms an interface between the operative controlling (CO) applications and the Enterprise Controlling (EC) module. It reflects the actual and plan postings from operative controlling and settlement components, with which it is integrated in real‑time. It then summarizes this data according to profit centers, which reflect the internal structure of areas of responsibility within your company.

Profit Center Accounting primarily serves to calculate internal (plan and actual) results according to the period accounting approach. If the function area is specified for the data in the controlling components, you can also analyze results using the cost‑of‑sales approach.

In addition, EC‑PCA lets you analyze certain balance sheet items by profit center. This also makes it possible to control the necessary key figures for an area of responsibility.

If you store values flows in multiple fields using different valuation methods, you have the option of valuating goods movements with transfer prices in Profit Center Accounting.

Profit Center Accounting is account‑based. That means, the values are updated in EC‑PCA according to account. Consequently, you can reconcile the data here with that in Financial Accounting.

You can modify or supplement both actual and plan data taken from the operative components to meet your company’s requirements for Profit Center Accounting (assessment/distribution). You can then use this data as a basis for a more strategic analysis using EC‑EIS.

Multiple profit center hierarchies (profit‑oriented, functional, regional, and so on) make it possible to analyze data in different ways in multidimensional organizations. Through the elimination of internal business you can also represent data at higher hierarchical levels.

EC‑PCA provides you with a comprehensive and flexible information system for analyzing your data by period. You can access the original postings from FI, CO, SD, MM, and so on directly to identify potential weaknesses. Using the report/report interface, you can drill down to the information systems of other components
