Profit centers: recording and allocation

Record centres, allocate amounts through confirmed allocations and review each centre's result.

Check the active company, period and editing permission before any confirmation. Follow only steps applicable to the company's legal form and accounting regime.

Supporting documents

Prepare rules for assigning revenue and expenses by activity.

Completing and checking data

Open “Profit centers” and stay in “Catalog” to add or correct a center. Search for the existing entry before creating a new one.
For an existing centre, select the row and choose “Edit row details” in its details and options window. Once the centre has been used in an allocation, only its name can be corrected; the code, type and historical hierarchy remain protected.
Check the pop-up form and save the center. For another center, close the form and start editing the corresponding row separately.
Check revenue assignment and expense allocation for the same period. Profit or loss by centre explains internal activity and is not automatically taxable profit.
In “Allocations”, use “Allocate” to allocate an eligible amount and check the basis before “Confirm allocation”. For a confirmed allocation, use “Correct” and review the corrective version. In “Result by centre”, compare the calculated totals without rewriting cells. Income and expense closing entries are not allocated again. If there are no eligible amounts in the interval, the coverage percentage remains uncalculated.
- Managerial situations

The center catalog is saved through a controlled process, while allocations and results remain traceable to the transactions that produced them.

Practical example

Compare Store activity with Services. Keep separate centres and check that each centre’s linked income and costs are complete for the same period. Do not allocate all company income to both centres, which would double the comparison.

Frequently asked questions and solutions

You cannot change a center’s code, type, or parent.

Check whether the center already has allocations. To preserve history, correct only its name or create a justified new center and use it for future operations.

A result or allocation is incorrect.

First check the document and amount to allocate. If the source is correct, open “Allocations”, choose “Correct” for the confirmed allocation and check centres and amounts before “Confirm corrective version”. For a reversed entry, the original allocation remains in its period's history; allocate the correction against the reversing entry on its date.

There are two similar Catalog records. How should I choose?

Compare identification and details determining the record’s purpose: code, partner, unit, stock location or period as applicable. Check documents using each record. Choose the record reflecting reality; do not rename or remove a used record merely to hide a duplicate.
