Hello,

Cost center defines the entity where in all costs incurred by a particular company is posted against.

Profit center is another entity which hold all data related to the profits incurred by the company.

Hope the definition is clear. You can search for FI general topics in SDN and know more about the key elements.

Hi,

CSKS is the table for Cost Center Master Data.

cost center: cost center collects the costs. It will try to control the costs with the help of responsible person. Cost centers are not meant for revenues.

Cost center is a real object.

If you give cost center at the time of posting, then real postings will go to cost center and statistical posting will go to profit center (which is assigned in cost center master)

If you give cost center and Internal Order (real), then real postings will go to internal order and statistical postings will go to cost center and profit center (which is assigned in internal order master). The cost center will become statistical or real based on the other real object given.

If you give cost center and internal order (statistical) then real postings will go to cost center and statistical postings will go to internal order (statistical) and profit center (which is assigned to cost center.
