the purpose of cost center profit analysis attributes and project profit analysis attributes

[mostafa_mahmoud1811_5]

Dear experts,

I can't understand the purpose of cost center profit analysis attributes and project profit analysis attributes

For Ex. What is the purpose of defining a customer group or a product category in cost center profit analysis attributes so when I make a transaction on this cost center (for ex. Finance), this transaction will be shown in the profit analysis reports (ex. Profit detail by contribution margin) when I filter by the previous customer group or or product category. What is the relation between the cost center (finance) and this customer group or this product category? I think that will mislead the information

can anybody make me understand this point better ?

Dear Mostafa,

don't care, you are not the onyl one who is gathering about this option. But in 10 years I didn't meet anyone in the ByD-community who was able to explain the intention of this option. Obviously, this must be one of ByD's most kept secrets.

I would also be glad if someone could describe a use case which he/she managed by these settings.

Best Regards, Peter
