French term or phrase: Le département se réparti sur les centres de profits
Exemple de centre de coût :
Le département pré-presse d’une BU est un centre de coût qui vient :
Se déverser totalement dans le centre de profit activité pré-presse
Se répartir en fonction des time-sheet des collaborateurs du département sur les différents pôles organisationnels de la BU
Se répartir en fonction des time-sheet sur les différents clients de la BU

Le département Finance d’une BU se réparti sur les centres de profits (activité, pôle organisationnel et clients) avec une clé de répartition assise sur la Marge Brute réelle des différents centres de profit.
Les clés de répartition de certains centres de coût sur les centres de profit peuvent être du type : time-sheet, marge brute du centre de profit, chiffre d’affaire du centre de profit, effectif du centre de profit, etc.

My question is primarily how to translate "se réparti."

The department is distributed across profit centers
Explanation:
Any reason not to use "is distributed across" (or "spread/recorded across")?

BTW, small typo, I think: "se répartit"

Now I like "split across..."

BTW, I don't see any consensus for any of these terms. I suspect other terms are possible and perhaps even better. :-/

@ veratek: The "omission" was not inadvertent; "cost" – be it operating cost or other cost – does not appear in the French text ;-)

neutral  rkillings: You mean the *cost* of operating the department is distributed …?
