Profit Center Accounting

SAP Profit Center Accounting (EC-PCA) lets you determine profits and losses by profit center using either period accounting or the cost-of-sales approach. It also lets you analyze fixed capital and so-called “statistical key figures” (number of employees, square meters, and so on) by profit center. Consequently, you can calculate all the key figures commonly used in cost accounting (return on investment, cash flow, sales per employee, and so on).
