Assign sales order to profit center

It is necessary to assign SD sales orders to profit centers in order to reflect receivables, sales revenues, and sales deductions on profit centers.

The profit center assignment is also passed on from the sales order through the supply chain: sales order -> delivery note-> goods issue-> billing document. This means that the when a goods issue is posted, the corresponding revenue value for the goods is also passed on to the profit center of the sales order.

Sales orders are divided into header data and item data. Each order item is assigned separately to a profit center, since this is the finer level of detail.

The system proposes the profit center of the material in the supplying plant as the default profit center. Consequently, you usually do not need to enter a profit center manually. This default supports both a product oriented and geographical division of your organization into profit centers.

You might want to divide your company into profit centers according to a sales-oriented structure. In that case, you can define substitution rules in Customizing of classic Profit Center Accounting or new General Ledger Accounting. The system uses these substitution rules to determine the profit center from sales orders. You also need to activate these substitutions for each individual controlling area.
