• Key Concepts: 
  A dummy profit center is a non-operating profit center in SAP's Profit Center Accounting (PCA) component. It is used to record non-operational costs and revenues, such as those related to corporate overhead, that cannot be assigned to a specific operating profit center. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In order to use a dummy profit center, you must first create it in the PCA component. This can be done by entering the relevant data into the relevant fields in the PCA configuration. Once created, you can assign costs and revenues to the dummy profit center in the same way as you would for an operating profit center. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a dummy profit center, it is important to ensure that it is clearly labeled as such so that it is not confused with an operating profit center. Additionally, it is important to ensure that all costs and revenues are correctly assigned to the dummy profit center so that they are not mistakenly assigned to an operating profit center.
