■■Note
Before creating a profit center, make sure that you have defined the standard hierarchy for your profit
center in the controlling area’s basic settings.
To define a profit center, follow this menu path: IMG: Controlling – Profit Center Accounting – Master
Data – Profit Center – Define Profit Center. Or use transaction code KE51. The Create Profit Center Choose
Activity screen is displayed with the option to create or change a profit center. Select EC-PCA: Create Profit
Center from the activity list by double-clicking it or selecting it and then clicking the
button on
the bottom-right side of the screen. An initial Create Profit Center screen comes up. Enter your profit center.
It is advisable to use a numeric value. We used 1100 as our profit center. To specify details for the proft center,
click the
button on the top-left side of the screen. The Create Profit Center screen for further
specifications is displayed (Figure 18-39). On this screen, notice the defaults used in the following fields—
Controlling Area – C900, Profit Center -1100, and Analysis Period – 01.01.2012-31.12.9999. You can change
the analysis period if you choose to.
