Distribution is used to distribute values from one profit center to other profit centers. The charge of cost center Energy does not change the allocation in FI. In the receiver profit centers, the values have the same account (which is usually, but not necessarily,
the cost element defined in CO) used for posting to the sender profit center – the original account is used.
In our example, accounts 416100 and 416110. Distribution generates an FI document. The FI document number is displayed in the basic list for clearing. Distributions can be reversed and repeated as often as necessary. The sender-receiver relationships are defined using the cycle-segment technique. Example: Distribution is used to distribute material stocks to different profit centers. This is
necessary if several profit centers are responsible for a material, for example. Since only one profit center can be stored in the material master, the stock values are allocated (using the balance sheet account) from the profit center stored to the others.

You should define a separate assessment account (each) for assessment in New General Ledger Accounting.
In our example, this is account 630099. The assessment account must not correspond to a secondary cost element in CO. This means that
you cannot simply use the assessment cost elements (=> cost element category 42) from CO. The account used to enter the original invoices is no longer visible in the receiver objects.
As such, you use assessment when the original accounts should not be visible on the receiver side. Assessment is frequently used to render a dummy profit center empty.
Distribution generates an FI document that is output in the basic list. Assessments can be reversed and repeated as often as necessary. The sender-receiver relationships are defined using the cycle-segment technique.
Pla nning (in FI )
Since it is possible to portray Profit Center Accounting in New General Ledger Accounting (=> actual data), you may now want to enter plan data for corresponding
profit centers as well (=> TCode GP12N).
For this, certain configurations (=> mostly in Customizing) need to be performed (once): Activate totals table FAGLFLEXT (for planning)
Import planning layouts (from client 000) (=> Planning layouts 0FAGL.... are used in New General Ledger Accounting for planning – for more information, see the next slide)
Set planner profile (=> SAPFAGL) If not delivered, create a planning document type (such as P0) and the corresponding
number ranges (per company code) – Caution: This configuration is also required even if you do not want to enter any plan line items (with this document type).
Define plan version – From the historical perspective, it would be logical to use plan version 1 for FI. With the integrated planning with CO (=> described later in this course), it
may be preferable to use version 0.
Assign plan version to a fiscal year
=> Now the system is able to store plan data in totals table FAGLFLEXT and you can
enter plan data (in FI): Application: General Ledger -> Periodic Processing -> Planning -> Plan Values -> Enter (New)

Pla nning La yout s (for Pla nning in FI )
In the standard delivery, planning in FI uses the following planning scenarios:
• Planning on profit center and account • Planning on profit center group and
account
• Planning on segment and account • Planning on profit center and functional
area and account
• Planning on profit center and partner profit
center and account
• Planning on cost center (purely in FI)
and account
• Planning without characteristics only on
accounts Regarding the planning scope, see the
important note at the top of the slide notes!

Warning: Planning in FI is always stored in combination with an account (=> see the planning
