What's the diff. between Operating Concern &
Controlling Area and their roll.
Answer Posted / amit
Operating Concern are created in a CO Code and are used to
do analysis on PCA (Profit Center Acctg) / CO-PA. OP
Concern used for performing these tasks which are time /
project based / event based (like Advtg Mktg Exp, Training
Exp. Etc.)for the analysis of parameters, like measuring
internal profit of a SBU, Sales data analysis (COPA).They
can even be used for Analysing balance sheet items
(Stocks,Assets,cash etc.)
The controlling area is used for Internal Cost measurement.
The Contolling activities (Like - Expenses, Cost objects,
Internal Orders (Cost Elements), Production orders etc.
need to be created and assigned in a Controlling Area for
that co code. Generally, You define One Controlling Area
and Assign that to the Co Code. However, you may have more
than One Controlling area, but Best practices suggests to
keep one controlling area for ease of configuration.
Please correct me if I am wrong.
