Dear friends,
The functionality of the Business area and profit center is
to create profit & loss a/c and balance sheets under the
company code level. Both have their own pros and cons.
Both are used for internal reporting only.
Both have a typical month end closing activity.
The problem with business area is when splitting the
document at the month end activity and there is a belief
that the business area concept may not support in future
version of sap.
*If i am wrong just correct me :)

Hi! I need to change the fiscal year variant from V9 (Oct-Sept) to K4 (Jan - Dec). I understand creating a short period for fiscal year variant K4 this could be solved, but the problem is that my Controlling Area, assigned to several company codes (which should keep V9 fiscal year) variant, has fiscal year variant V9 as well. I wonder if is there any way to have a company code with fiscal year K4 and assign it to a Controlling Area with different fiscal year variant, is there any alternative fiscal year variant? Or what do you suggest? Thanks!
