An operating concern represents an organizational unit in your company for which the sales market has a uniform structure. It is the valuation level for Profitability Analysis (CO-PA).

Dear friend,

operating concern is highest reporting level of organisation for reporting pupose like sales & marketing etc.Under one operating concern there may be multiple controlling area.

where controlling area is the primary objective to the management for internal reporting purpose for cost and revenue.It is only internal controll of the orga.
