3.2 Defining Profit Center Distribution Actual
© SAP AG Page 5 of 8
SAP Best Practices Segment Reporting (166): Configuration Guide
Use
Profit center distribution is used to distribute the costs from one profit center to other profit
centers. This is used for segment distribution. Since segments are assigned to profit centers
the new segments are automatically derived from the distributed profit centers.
The distribution is needed to distribute revenues and costs from the dummy segment to the
other segments which are related to products. A complete segment reporting related to
product segments can be prepared.
The distribution is defined in FI area and is to be applied for FI postings.
The distribution can only be applied for P&L accounts. For other accounts
segment repostings are to be done manually (with FI posting transactions, for
example FB50).
Prerequisites
All profit centers which are not product related are to be distributed to product related profit
centers. The dummy segment is assigned to these profit centers.
