PC Account Dimension
Return to Profit Center Model Overview.
Elements in the PC Account
dimension are account hierarchies within internal profit and loss statements used to allocate amounts between profit centers and cost objects. This dimension can be configured to meet reporting and planning requirements with the Profit Center
model.
The base elements of this dimension are either single ledger accounts or reporting positions. Aggregations in the dimension represent the hierarchy that is used to form the reports. Account numbers should be used as elements and readable names should be stored in the Name
attribute, which simplifies the import and export of financial data, minimizes the impact of amendments of the readable names, and allows for the usage of localized translations of the accounts. Usually, there is at least one hierarchy with the profit or balance sheet result as the topmost aggregation. To provide multiple views of the profit and loss figures, parallel hierarchies can be set up.
This dimension is intended for the internal reporting of profit and loss. The PnL Account
dimension used in the Profit and Loss model, in contrast, is used for statutory reporting. The PC Account
dimension can be set up identically to the PnL Account
dimension or entirely differently – whatever makes the most sense to manage the organization.
The PC Account
elements can be configured through their attributes:
