段：段设置在利润中心主数据中段的引入，相当于在利润中心主数据层次里扩大了一个组织单元的分析维度，简化了相关配置和操作，业务范围现在可以被段来替代，从而不用到业务范围和利润中心两边去配置两边去调整业务：
某公司有2个新工厂和2个旧工厂，对应4个业务范围，利润中心对应产品，其中工厂FRA4生产4种产品系列，对应4个利润中心。
假设系统设置如下：业务范围2010和3010属于旧厂、2020和3020属于新厂，使用段区分，因为新工厂有地方税务优惠，所以分别出新旧业务范围的财务报表。
同时，根据利润中心（对应产品类别）出产品成本利润表。要求使用转移价格（比如参考市场价格）核算跨业务范围和跨利润中心的转移业务，从而体现出业务范围和利润中心的内部利润，假设业务范围和利润中心的组织结构如下表：工厂 业务范围 段 利润中心FRA1 2010 3000(旧厂) 9233110000FRA2 2020 2000(新厂) 9233110001FRA3 3010 3000(旧厂) 9233120001FRA4 3020 2000(新厂) 9233120100FRA4 3020 2000(新厂) 9233120200FRA4 3020 2000(新厂) 9233120300FRA4 3020 2000(新厂) 9233120400
SAP系统提供标准解决方案为：公司出售业务（公司代码并删除相关历史数据），公司合并（两个公司代码合并到一个公司代码），物料/客户/供应商号码变更（比如物料号码由R-1120变成10001），利润中心重组，段（segment）重组，利润中心/成本中心号码变更，会计科目表及会计年度转化，资产类别/资产科目确定转换，客户端转换等等；
