These two service centre are having the following costs:

1. Man power (these elements having GL accounts)

2. Spare parts (Its having material masters, and goods issued to this service cost centers from unrestricted stock and consumed in this service cost centres with respect to service order)

3. Other expenses (maintainence cost of service centre; these cost elements having GL accounts)

Please guide me in this regard.

Hi,

The Profitcenter is enoug to have the profitability analysis of the company.

Define the Profit center as you define the Business areas.

Then Assgn this profit center to all Trading goods material master & Spare parts Material master.

Whenver the goods movement happen for the Material which you assign profitceneter the posting will be done automatically to the profitcenetr,

Create the costcenter for the Services & the other expenses then assign Profit center to the Cost center.

Whenever the setlement of the service to the costcenter will be done the profit ceter posting will done automatically.

Make FI & Profitcenter assignment.

Hello Dear,

Raj just want told you about the scenario.

In all the Material Master there were a place where you can assign you profit center on it's Costing View, when goods movement will be done eg. 601it's cost will automatically will go on the same profit center. which you have defined.

Example: There is a Cost Center ABC1020 it is fully for the Procured Items (External Procurement), and the Other one is 1030 for your finished product. now when you will create any material master data you should be put the ABC1020 for the Purchased material and 1030 for you Final FERT Material.

Now on the base of Profit Center you get the total expenses on Material (F) and total profit on (E) Material.
