1. Course Introduction
Controlling (CO) offers information to decision makers for planning, measuring and monitoring enterprise's operations and performance. It represents the internal accounting view of an organization. All data relevant to cost and revenue flows are created from various sources such as Financial Accounting (FI), Materials Management (MM) and Sales and Distribution (SD). The cost and revenue flows will update FI and simultaneously create equivalent postings into CO. As part of this process, the system assigns the costs and revenues to different CO account assignment objects like cost centers, orders, or profitability segments. The relevant accounts in FI are managed in CO as cost elements or revenue elements.

Exercise 1: Process for Creation of Profit Center – KE51
The Enterprise contains Profit Centers at the lowest organizational unit that requires a full Income Statement. All actual and plan revenues are managed at the Profit Center level. Actual and plan costs are managed at the Cost Center level, and, through the assignment of one or many Cost Centers to a Profit Center, an income statement can be produced. Use Profit Center assessments or distributions to allocate actual and plan revenues between Profit Centers. Costs may be allocated between Profit Centers; however, this may be considered a “top side” adjustment because an allocation between Profit Centers will not be reflected in the assigned Cost Centers. Plan revenues in Profit Centres. Again, plan costs can be reported here if a Cost Center is assigned. Unlike Cost Centers, a Profit Center is active for all Company Codes assigned to a Controlling Area.

Exercise 1: Process for Creation of a Profit Center Group – KCH1
The standard hierarchy is a profit center group, or tree structure, which contains all the profit centers in one controlling area. The standard hierarchy usually corresponds to the organizational structure used in Profit Center Accounting.
The standard hierarchy consists of two types of nodes:
• A profit center area is an end node in the structure, which is not the top node. You can only assign your profit centers to the end nodes of the structure.
• A summarization area groups together profit center data at a higher level. Each
node of the standard hierarchy, which is not an end node, is a summarization area. You cannot assign profit centers directly to a summarization area. It merely groups together the profit center areas and summarization areas which lie below it.
In addition to the standard hierarchy for your controlling area, you can also create alternative profit center hierarchies -- so-called "profit center groups" -- for use in the information system, allocations and planning.
In contrast to the standard hierarchy, these profit center groups do not have to contain all the profit centers in the controlling area. On the contrary, profit center groups let you select only certain profit centers and reorganize them to allow you more flexibility.
