The Profit Center Split Report allows you to view sales by Profit Center Split. Un-split amounts can also be included and the option to re-split amounts is provided. Resplitting is used to re-allocate historical sales to current profit centers in the report. The Profit Center Split Report can be filtered by sold on, valid on, closed on, finalized on, DCI, date, account, salespoint and operator. Options include Show Zero Dollar Items amounts and Show Unsplit Amounts.

Transactions that do not have items associated with them cannot be re-split because there is no item from which to get the split information. These transactions show in invoices with **TRANS** in the Department, Category and Item fields – they are created in SysManager or any time a payment is applied to an invoice through Sales without selling an item.

Profit centers are usually where profit is allocated (i.e., after taxes, fees and discounts are taken out). However, sometimes it is useful to see amounts split out differently. Thus, the Split Tax Amount, Split Fee Amount and Split Discount Amount options under Resplit Profit Centers allow you to see what the effect would be if you allocated amounts differently.

 

Ignoring discounts, how much money would have gone to each profit center? In this case, the Split Discount Amount check box would be checked to include this money in the amount to be split.

Re-splitting profit center amounts does not change the actual money allocated to each profit center – it simply shows you how the money would have been allocated given that your profit center split was defined that way. You also have the option to show or not show “un-split” amounts (unallocated revenue).

Some venues like $0 items to be grouped by profit center in order to calculate yield based on quantity. If you want to report on $0 items, each item must be assigned a profit center or None if no profit center. Otherwise, the items with no profit center all show up in the first profit center.
