Why each option
Profit center accounting reports in New GL can provide a balance sheet statement, return on investment (ROI), and cost of goods sold, allowing for a comprehensive view of a profit center's financial performance.
By collecting both revenue and relevant asset information at the profit center level, New GL allows for the calculation and reporting of key performance indicators like Return on Investment (ROI) for individual profit centers.
With document splitting and profit center update activated, New GL can produce a full balance sheet statement at the profit center level, showing assets, liabilities, and equity attributed to that specific profit center.
Fixed and variable cost portions are typically provided by cost element accounting or contribution margin accounting, not primarily by profit center accounting, which focuses on responsibility accounting and segment-level P&L and Balance Sheet.
Variance categories of production are results typically found in product cost controlling (CO-PC), focusing on differences between planned and actual production costs, not a direct output of profit center accounting.
Profit center accounting tracks costs and revenues, and with proper assignment, it can report the Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) at the profit center level, contributing to profit and loss analysis.
