Assessments
Three assessment cycles have been configured:
Y0010 – Assessment of Utility Costs
Y0011 – Assessment of Production Costs
Y0012 – Assessment of Administration Costs
In assessment cycle Y0010 (Assessment of Utility Costs), the cost summarized in the cost
element group 2400 (accounts from 630000–630030) and cost center 40150 (Utility Costs) are
assessed to all other cost centers.
The CATT ZPCCCO_UTILITY runs this assessment (see chapter 14, Business Processes for
more information).

Internal Orders
The configuration for overhead orders has been mostly left as standard. We use it to only
demonstrate its use as a statistical object for additional reporting options. The CATT
ZPCCCO_MARKETING takes you through the process. For more information, see chapter
14, Business Processes.
Master Data
To simplify the order creation, order type Y010 (myPCC Internal Marketing Order) has been
created. It uses reference order $STATISTICAL and the order layout Y010. For order type
Y010, the screen selection has been changed to display the minimum number of fields
required.
The order layout Y010 defines the tab pages on the order creation screen and the group
boxes within the tab pages.
Reference order $STATISTCAL gives default values for the following input fields:
Company code 0010
Currency USD
Actual cost center posted 40100
Statistical Order x
Applicant PCC Team
Order Group
The order group 0010 has been created for reporting and planning. It has been structured
such that every order created will be included in the order group, except for imputed cost
orders. If you use imputed costs, please see the note below.

The imputed cost order group 090 has been created for orders with an external number
range starting with 9A. This has not been preconfigured because it depends on the interval
definition of your system. Define the interval as follows:
9A00000000 – 9AZZZZZZZZ if your system is ASCII based
9Aaaaaaaaa – 9A99999999 if your system is EBCDIC based
Planning
To plan the costs on different internal orders, enter transaction KPF6 in the Command field
and choose Enter (or choose Accounting Controlling Internal Orders Planning Cost
and Activity Inputs Change).
To simplify the planning screens and define default values in your planning screen a
planner profile Y0010-PL has been created. You can set the planner profile by using
transaction code KP04 (or choose Accounting Controlling Internal Orders Planning
Set Planner Profile). You can do this at the start of every session, or you can save it in your
user parameters.
For planner profile Y0010-PL, we assigned planning layout Y0010-OR which allows
planning on all marketing orders against the cost element range 650000–660000.
Profit Center Accounting (PCA) is a new addition to the PCC with Release 4.5A. According
to the cost of sales accounting approach, this addition primarily serves to calculate internal
(plan and actual) results for profit centers.
Profit centers are statistical objects. If only a profit center is given during the posting, the
actual posting occurs on a reconciliation object (object type RO); the system automatically
derives a profitability segment, even if profitability analysis is not active. This case applies
for postings to revenue and sales deductions accounts (410000 to 440020). Postings to these
accounts show a profit center document and a cost accounting document for that reason.
The system issues a warning message (KI166) that you can deactivate. For more
information, please refer to SAPNet – R/3 Frontend notes 41103 (point 2) and 106968.
If you do not intend to use Profit Center Accounting, you should deactivate it. This
deactivation prevents the system from writing unnecessary line items and total records. To
deactivate PCA, enter transaction 0KE5 (or in the IMG, choose Controlling Profit Center
Accounting Basic Settings Settings for the Controlling Area Maintain Controlling Area
Settings. Deselect the active indicator for the relevant From fiscal year.
Scenario
myPCC sells its products to both retail and commercial. There are two sales managers in the
company, one in charge of retail and one in charge of commercial. In addition to these two
sales departments, myPCC has a consulting department that generates revenue. It is
important to myPCC that data reported within the company is split between these three
areas for both P&L items as well as selected balance sheet items. The key reporting measure
used by the company is profit divided by assets employed (payables, receivables, assets,
and stock).
Both the retail and commercial business sell the same products. A central group manages
the requirements of the two businesses in terms of stock and works with the sales teams to
optimize the stock levels. The monthly stock holding and production and other costs are
allocated to the retail and commercial business at each month-end based on a fixed
agreement. In all examples, we assume that all transactions will be equally split between
retail and commercial.
Master Data
Profit centers reflect the internal structure of areas of responsibility within your company.

DUMMY Unassigned
Profit center DUMMY collects all postings that are relevant to profit center accounting for
which the system cannot derive what profit center to use. These postings should get
allocated at the end of each period either manually by direct posting into PCA or by creating
(and executing) an allocation cycle.
Profit center 900 (Corporate & Others) has been created for postings that cannot be allocated
to any operational areas in the enterprise. American companies often manage cash or
investment accounts centrally at their headquarters, for example, and default profit centers
are used when posting to these accounts. These postings can then get allocated to the “real”
profit centers or used in reporting of higher-level financial performance measures. We have
assigned profit center 900 as a default profit center for all accounts in the following groups:
Equity
Investment
Cash
Long-term payables
Long-term receivables
To maintain this profit center assignment, enter transaction 3KEH (or in the IMG, choose
Controlling Profit Center Accounting Actual Postings Choose Additional Balance Sheet and
P&L accounts Choose Accounts).
Assignment Monitor
You can use the assignment monitor to check the assignment to profit centers for all objects.

are not assigned to a profit center will post to profit center DUMMY and need to be
allocated at period end.
Account Groups
The following account groups have been created for reporting, assessment and planning. To
maintain or display these groups, enter transaction codes KDH3 or KDH2 (or choose
Accounting Controlling Profit Center Accounting Master Data Account Groups

Period-End Procedures
Profit Center Accounting is used for period reporting. In preparation for reporting, the
following steps must be completed:
1. Run the Profit Center Adjustment program in FI
This program will assign profit centers to the receivables and payables line item
according to the offsetting line items.
In the Command field, enter transaction F.5D and choose Enter (or choose Accounting
Financial Accounting General Ledger Periodic Processing Closing Regroup
Balance Sheet Adjustment Calculate).
2. Transfer payables/receivables
In the Command field, enter transaction 1KEK and choose Enter (or choose Accounting
Enterprise Controlling Profit Center Accounting Actual Postings Period-End Closing
Transferring Payables/Receivables).
3. Transfer assets values
You cannot transfer the balance sheet items for assets until after the posting run for
depreciation is finished, since the program only transfers posted depreciation. Both the
value adjustments and the acquisition or construction costs are transferred.
In the Command field, enter transaction 1KEI and choose Enter.
4. Transfer stock values
You should transfer material stocks to Profit Center Accounting after period close has
been carried out in Materials Management (MM). In most cases, you will transfer the
