whats the difference between business area and profit center.

Answer Posted / srinivas

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 :)

I know that in version ECC6 exists the functionality of document splitting like this: If an Invoice is for 11,000/-.Then we write the GL as : vendor A/C Dr XXXX to Purchase 1 XXX to Purchase 2 XXX to Tax XX But through Document Splitting we can write it based on the %age of sharing as 80 : 20%.. Vendor A/c 8,800(DR) Purchase A/C 8,000(Cr) Tax 800 (Cr) Vendor A/C 2,200 (Dr) Purchase 2000(Cr) Tax 200(Cr) This is called Document Splitting But when you talk about tax, you mean a line item created manually like tax or a document where you complete the tax code and the line is created automatically? Thanks a lot in advance. REgards,Lorena
