Impact Analysis: Business Area, Profit Center changed for Sales Order type

[Former Member]

Hi All,

Can you please let me know the impact of changing the Business Area and Profit Center for Sales Order Document types.

Scenario:

Let's say that sales document type ZOR has been used for sometime. On this document x number of sales orders have been raised, delivered and invoiced over the years.

Now, if you change the Business Area and Profit Center what would be the business impact.

thanks,

Hi,

First of all itu2019s not a good business practice to change the Business area and Profit Centre.

However if at all l you change the Business area and Profit centre the following is the impact::

Business Area: effects the sales order in accounts assignment at Header level.

Profit centre: effects the accounting part at Item level

Overall in MIS reporting w.r.t Profit and Business Analysis in Finance will be affected.

Thanks and regards
