Wrong Gross Profit

Hi All,
I have created an A/R Invoice, now when I see the gross profit report it shows wrong base price (zero) and wrong gross profit.
Base Price By was Last Purchase Price.
I am using Manage by Batch No. option.
While A/R Invoice I have selected respective Batches.
But the system has picked up the base price from one transaction which I did not select in Batch selection.
For particular Item there were 3 Incoming trasactions, 2 were opening balance with respective value and last was also opening balance but with value zero.
The valuation method is FIFO.
Can anyone explain me
1.Why the zero value has been picked up in the gross profit calculation and
2.How can I correct this value to have correct base value and correct gross profit ?
Thanks,
Samir Gandhi

Hi Samir,
Please give the dates of those 3 Incoming transactions. FIFO calculation will always pick the earliest possible transaction which haven't be offset yet.
Thanks,
Gordon

Negative Gross Profit figure - Sales Analysis by Employee

Forum,
I have a system on 8.81 PL08. When running the sales analysis by sales employee and select one employee in particular the gross profit figure is showing a negative value.
Why would this be negative?
The system is currently configured as follows:
GP calculated - Profit/Base Price
The block negative stock option is also selected.
Regards,
Juan

Hi Juan,
Negative value in the gross profit is due to wrong gross profit calculation in the document. If you get detail of the transaction, you will know why.
Thanks,
Gordon

No Gross Profit without Delivery Ticket

We ship product sometimes using a delivery ticket and sometimes we go directly from the sales order to the invoice, bypassing the delivery ticket. On the invoices that do not use a delivery ticket the Gross profit is 100.00%.
The items are relieved from inventory and the General Ledger posting is correct. It is only the GP reports or from the individual invoice screen that the GP is wrong. We have selected Calculate Gross Profit and Manage Inventory by Warehouse in the document settings.
Is there a way to calculate GP if a delivery ticket is not used?

Hi Kathy,
GP always depends on the base price & this base price is only dynamically recalculated in the target document when you use 'Item Cost'. If you use any other method, the application will pull the base price from the base document.
There are 2 EES about GP in the archive here:

Enter 'Gross Profit' into the keyword field & tick the checkbox 'Archived Sessions only'.

A/R Credit Memo Gross Profit calculated incorrectly

My client created an A/R Credit Memo by opening an A/R Invoice and copying to the A/R Credit Memo. They deleted all the rows in the credit memo, changed the type to Service, typed a description, added the correct G/L account, and entered the total amount. The controller of the company looked at the Sales Analysis for the Business Partner by clicking on the graphic icon on the BP form. He noticed the Gross Profit for the above credit memo showed the exact gross profit as the original invoice from which it was copied, except the value was negative. The original gross profit was -$73,777 so the Sales Analysis report was significantly incorrect. I think this is a bug in how the gross profit was calculated on the credit memo. Am I correct?

Gordon,
I totally agree with you. I told them to not do this any more.
I was just wondering if maybe the calculation should be been performed using the final numbers on the Credit Memo instead of using numbers from the original invoice. Should I raise this issue to SAP?

How to get the Sales A/R Gross Profit to equal the G/L Gross Profit

Should the sales ledger (S/L) GP base price be set to 'Std Cost List' (SCL) or 'Item cost'?
If so, the General Ledger (G/L) uses the 'item cost' and the S/L uses the SCL - two different costs.
If the SCL and item cost are different (for the same item) how do I balance the S/L GP with the G/L GP when producing financial (G/L accounts)?
Any help or pointing towards help documents would be gratefully appretiated

Thank you Shwu very much for taking an interest in my problem.
We are indeed using Standard costing as our preferred stock costing system (not LIFO or MA) and the 'Standard Cost List' (SCL) is a price list that we are using as a list of all the std costs of our items. Therefore in each item master we set a SCL for an item and then an Item Cost as well (stockdata tab/item cost).
We were told to do this , as in 2006 when we installed 'SAP V2005', the gross profit base price (S/L base price) could not select the item cost by default. You could also not change an items 'item cost' either. I believe this is not now the case as in document settings the 'base price origin' can now be set as item cost and you can alter the item cost by a stock revaluation p.s. we are now using V2007.
So indeed as you say, because at the moment the S/L and G/L look at two different figures and if those figures are not the same the S/L GP will never = the G/L GP.
Scenario 1 - There are a number of reasons why the SCL does not = the Item cost
1. Price rises - where we altered the SCL but didn't know we could alter the item cost
2. Incorrect selection of 'item properties' i.e. not ticking an item as stock which means the G/L does not debit the cost at all.
3. All our manufactured items have an estimated SCL and item cost, but as we dont use BOMs yet, the std cost may not be accurate. (we need to wait till we do a physical stock check)
4. We use item masters for each of our direct labour sales so the cost is an estimate of their hourly rate + NIC + down time etc. So this is similar to (3) above.
5. Supplier carriage on 'goods in' cannot be reflected in the item cost as you never know how much the carriage cost is until you recieve the goods. We therefore set supplier carriage as an 'expense' G/L (purchased not stocked item property)
6. An advantage of using SCL is that you can allow say 10% for wastage or say 5% for carriage cost, whereas you would want the item cost to be the actual purchased cost of the item
Scenario 2 - Use only the item cost for S/L and G/L
1. bar for (6) above it now seems to make sense to select only the item cost for S/L & G/L if we want to close the difference between S/L & G/L GP reports.
2. But I've just been told that a purchase order stamps the SCL cost down not the item cost. very strange, I'll have to look into this.
I do hope my answers make some sense and once again thanks for helping me

Plant and Profit center wise Turnover and gross profit for the Month for s

Hi
We need a report Plant and Profit center wise Turnover and
gross profit for the Month for selected month and GL's
We are using new GL. but our bi system old version.

BI_CONT - 703 Patch:SAPKIBIIP7
Do you have any idea or experiences which data source and data target required to full fill this requirement?
Thanks
Ramana P

Hi
You need to check if you really the report Plant wise and if yes, then check if the Accounting Transactions are maintained at Plant Level in your source system i.e. in R3.
Ideally it should be Business area or Functional Area or Controlling area which are maintained in Accounting Transactions. You will also the relevant details for these Characterisitics + Profit Center in the NEW GL Accounting data sources.

Blank figures appearing in Gross Profit %

Forum,
Within 8.8 when logging into the sales order scren as a particular user, if they click on the Gross Profit % icon the values appear as: ***** instead of actual numeric values. I presume as this is user specific it's down to authorisations. Upon checking for this user the option for 'Gross Profit' is set to 'Full authorisation'. Is there another setting within authorisations which would cause the above?
Regards,
Juan

Juan,
What is the license type of this user? If it is limited, that would be one of the reason.

Item Cost as Base Price in calculating gross profit

Hi All,
We're using FIFO as item evaluation method. If "Item Cost" has been set up as the base price origin for gross profit, where does SB1 get the value for the gross profit base price for an invoice?
I know it is not from any price list, and it is not from oitw.avgprice. Is this item cost calculated using FIFO?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Your assumption is correct. It is item cost calculated using FIFO.
Thanks,
Gordon

Fix incorrect gross profit

We have several sales that show 100% profit in the Sales Analysis Report.
We discovered what caused it and have fixed it for the future.
Is there a way to fix the posted invoices?
A file that I could import to and update the gross profit number to the correct amount?
Where does the calculation come from? example system data for Sales Analysis:
By Customer: form = 20230 Item = 3 Pane = 0 Column = 5 Row = 7 Variable = 85
By Item: form = 20238 Item = 3 Pane = 0 Column = 7 Row = 2 Variable = 87
By Employee: form = 20246 Item = 3 Pane = 0 Column = 5 Row = 3 Variable = 85
Thank You in advance for your assistance.

HI Kathy,
Unfortunately not possible to change GP on posted document in version 2007.
It will be possible in version 8.8.

Approval Template by Gross profit Percentage for entire Document

I'm trying to figure out how to create an approval template that would require an approval if the entire Sales order falls below a minimum gross profit percentage. I did find a built in function that I can require approval if any single line items drop below minimum, but I haven't been able to find a way to either select the gross profit percentage or access the needed fields to calculate the GPP.
Thanks in advanced

Hi Nick
You can give an approval template of the gross profit percentage at the document level in the sales order but not at the row level, it will suit if the condition one to one relationship exists. Thought on the queries and formatted searches might help.
