SAP ERP: Materials Management and Financial Accounting

In standard SAP configurations like the Kraft APAC template (Catalyst), Profit Center is typically configured as the primary document splitting characteristic in the New General Ledger (New GL) to ensure balance sheets can be generated at the profit center level.
