## Overview

deactivateProfitCenter transitions a profit center from ACTIVE status to INACTIVE status. Once inactive, the profit center can no longer receive new transaction assignments. Historical transactions referencing this profit center remain intact. Only ACTIVE profit centers can be deactivated; deactivating a DRAFT profit center is not permitted.

## Business Rules

- Profit center must exist
- Profit center must be in ACTIVE status to be deactivated
- Deactivating a DRAFT profit center is rejected as an invalid state transition
- Deactivating an already INACTIVE profit center is rejected as an invalid state transition
- Existing historical transactions referencing this profit center are not affected
- Emits an audit event recording the status transition and acting user
