All about PnL[Profit and Loss] and SGA[Sales Growth analysis]

hello SDN.
I have just joined a consumer goods MNC as an executive trainee working on SAP BI.
My current profile is on SGA loading and PnL loading.
Can anyone tell me more about SGA and PnL.
I do not want the SAP technical points.
I need the core business explanation for these topics.
Why are they needed and what role they play at the management level, etc...
Waiting for the reply eagerly
Thanks

Hi,
I think u r asking more on functional analysis, Management uses Sales Growth Analysis (also called Top Line analysis) to know the growth rate in their Revenues, it shows their Market share and customer retention and new customers added, whether their promotional campaigns worked or not? like this it helps the management.
Coming to Profit and loss analysis or also called as Bottom line analysis, it shows their efficiency in optimum utilization of resources, increase or decrease in operating expenses etc.
based on the above two analysis, the scenarios may be like this:
Revenues increased, but profit come down, what r the reasons?
Revenues decreased, but profits increased, reasons?
etc.
this may be useful
Thanks
Ganesh

Profit and loss of the sales of my top 100 customers

Hi,
I would like to have a query in SAP BW which delivers me the following information:
the profit and loss of the sales of my top 100 customers (customers with the highest sales per month). So basically I would like to compare the sales from these customers of the current month to the previous month.
Thank you for any help!

hi,
u can compare values by creating restricted 2 RKFs.
RKF1 : selling price is restricted by 0CALMONTH.create a variable on 0CALMONTH(single value,mandatory,ready for input...etc).
right click on structure--->new selection...drag and drop selling value and 0CALMONTH.
RKF2 :selling price is restricted by 0CALMONTH.use the same variable which u created and set Offset value '-1'.
so it will give u sales price for previous month(if u ente current month in selection screen)...
take customer in rows and these RKFs in columns(in structure).
later use condition to display top 100 customers..
hope this helps..
pl dont foget to assign points to helpful answers....thats the way to say thanks here.

Hi SG,
What Raghu has shared are the best practices. However, what you need is the understanding of the these financial statements from a general perspective (not BPC). These documents are just financial statements. BPC is just a tool, in which you can create these statements. But, in order to create these statements in BPC, you need to understand the basic terminologies of the financial statements.
You can search them directly. on the internet.
Hope this helps.

Balance Sheet and Profit and Loss

Dear experts,
I've posted a thread just like this but I've closed it, because the info needed changed. Now I open this one so it will be easier to follow.
I need to extract data from tables BKPF and BSEG. So I thought in extractor 0FI_GL_4. This means I need an ODS so I can use delta extraction. Rasim suggested ODS 0FIGL_O02. (Thanks for your quick answer)
Basically I need a few reports, Profit and loss, and Balance. This reports work with a structure that groups certain accounts to get the right value. How can I load this structure in BW? Or I need to create my own hierarchy?
Also, this reports in R3 are working with a special fiscal variant according to the client. What they need is to see this reports with fiscal variant K4. I thought to modify the update rules in BW so that the fiscal period gets filled according to the "Posting date in the document" (field BUDAT in R3).
Does anyone thinks this will work? Any other ideas?
Best Regards,
Rodrigo.

How can I know if there is a GL Account Hierarchy? - Ask ur functional guy - check 0GL_ACCOUNT_T011_HIER datasource in RSA3 if they have std hierarchies
Also I'd like know if with extractor 0FI_GL_4 I will be able to create a balance sheet with cumulated values and period values, and also create the profit and loss report. It will be enough with this extractor? - if you are looking for cumulated balances - use 0FI_GL_6. check the link below for financial statements
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_bw33/helpdata/en/6e/ff703b3de59e4fe10000000a114084/frameset.htm
I want to fill fiscal period with posting document because in R3 the balance uses a fiscal variant different from k4, and they want to see it with k4. So I thought in filling the period with the posting document date.
The period is determined from posting date only - unless it is a special period - 13,14,15,16 - that has to be manually updated while creating a FI doc.So you can go ahead and map the posting period - to either fiscalyear/period or posting date. They both are one and the same.

Hi,
Is your problem solved, I am also facing the same issue when transffering from Incoming/Outgoing to Main Bank Account. Exchange gain/loss is being calculated by the system.
Please share with me the solution to the above problem.

Query result different with profit and loss statement

Hi all,
I run query Sum(JDT1.Debit - JDT1.Credit), and then compare the query result with the profit and loss statement, and there is different.
The difference is about 0.01.
At SAP, the Decimal places is set to 2.
I already checked the data, and their amount in 2 decimal.
Do anyone know such problem and what kind of query must I use so the result can be compared with the profit and loss statement ?
Thx.

Riny,
I am glad you found the issue

Strategy for profit and loss like reports

Hi. We run 2012 enterprise and I'm reading the general prep steps for a new report at technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd220520.aspx .
My report is similar to a profit and loss in that any line might need to be presented in a format (eg % vs $ etc) different from the line before it. Basically its not a traditional repeating pattern of info from line to line like you might see in something
like an inventory report.
There is a time dimension across the top with the budget value in col 1 and then a break down of actuals (eg by week) to the right of that column.
The report placement of most rows can be predicted (ie fixed) because they are summaries only. But a few are variable when an unknown number of product line details are shown.
The business sections (eg sales, performance etc) need to run together and give the user a scrolling feel (minimally in the browser) rather than a page break after each section.
Because there is at least one matrix required due to the variable portion I mentioned, I'm already nervous about that thing rs does sometimes when two controls (one on top of the other) dont take on a seamless look.
I'm also wondering if each row (eg sales, costs, etc etc) should be sourced by a separate dataset or if I should come up with a generic query with union alls supporting all data formats with an indicator on the row specifying what line (hdg) name of
the report it should be shown on along with perhaps some sort order value? By "all data formats" I mean a numeric data type that could hold anything (%s, dollars, counts etc) picked up by the query and worry about the specific reformatting
of that data type in the report itself on a line by line basis.
Any advice would be appreciated. I'm a big fan of keeping my future maint costs low on something like this.

Thx Alisa. The most important part of my strategy question has to do with breaking things up into multiple controls (tablix etc) and datasets or delivering all via one query into one control.
When a report follows a very nice pattern I've never had a doubt. For instance, an inventory report that repeatedly lists item, qty on hand, plant location etc etc would fit the "pattern"category.
But when a report looks like this i start asking questions...
                    Budget                  Jan Actual             Feb
Actual              Mar Actual            Apr Actual
Sales             $x,xxx,xxx.xx        $x,xxx,xxx.xx        $x,xxx,xxx.xx        $x,xxx,xxx.xx
$x,xxx,xxx.xx
Cost               $x,xxx,xxx.xx        $x,xxx,xxx.xx        $x,xxx,xxx.xx
$x,xxx,xxx.xx        $x,xxx,xxx.xx
% to Sales                 x.xx%                   x.xx%
x.xx%                  x.xx%                   x.xx%
Quality Issues          xxxxxxx                  xxxxxxx
xxxxxxx               xxxxxxx                 xxxxxxx
...because as you can see different numeric data types are involved.   This example is overly simplified. Would you source this from one dataset? And deal with the varying data type formatting in the rs rendering rules, or perhaps
use 3 or 4 datasets with 3 or 4 controls?   My report actually has close to 50 rows and the numeric data types vary. The only pattern I have is that a row hdg would come in and all 5 columns would be used from row to row. I can easily
include a sort order in one dataset.   No particular row or group of rows is reusable in other reports.

Closing Stock in Profit and Loss A/C

Hi Experts,
I have an issue regarding Closing Stock Which is normally followed in Indian Accounting System . This Closing Account is Sum of Raw Materials, Finished Goods, Work In Progress. But unfortunately B1 does not maintain two different accounts for Raw Materials and Finished Goods . Same Inventory Account is followed and effected for both of them . Our need is to track two different G/L Accounts , One for Finished Goods and one For Finished Goods . All the Transactions such as GRPO, A/P Invoice should effect Raw Materials Account and Transactions such as receipt from production and Sales transactions should effect Finished Goods A/C . seperately. Currently in both the cases same Account i.e Inventory account is only effected .
Moreover We need to have Closing Stock Balance (Raw Materials + WIP+Finished Goods) at Income Side of Profit and Loss Report .
Plz provide me some suggestions and guidance for how to resolve this issue.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi Pooja,
Can u try the following and see if it works...
Create 2 different accounts,, and create 2 different warehouses link each account to each warehouse... and use one warehouse for Raw materials and the other for Finished goods.
Hope it helps,
Vasu Natari.

I have used my current iTunes 5 times on different iPods through loss and breakage etc. I have my 6th iPod, how can I sync all my current music onto it if this iTunes has come to it's limit of devices?

Through damage, loss and resetting computers, my iTunes has synced itself to 5 devices (which I believe is the max) but I currently have my 6th iPod touch and need to know how to keep all this music and put it onto this other iPod. Do I create another Apple ID? Is it possible?

You can have 10 devices associated with your iTunes account for iCloud purposes. See:
iTunes Store: Associating a device or computer to your Apple ID
You can have five computers authorized for one iTunes account. See:
iTunes Store: About authorization and deauthorization
Just what are you trying to do and what message do you get?

Business area wise profit and loss account urgent

dear all
According to business scenario we are going here purchase is made for business area AA purchase account is assigned to this business araea
later in goods issue we are going to issue R/M for two different business areas.
purchase one R/M for business area AA and it is manufactured in two different business areas for production.say two different businesses A1 manufacturing bricks & A2 is manufacturing of Tails.
MIGO - They purchase R/M cement GL account 800000 at company code level Rs. 2000 and units 10 business area is AA
Goods Issue MB1A
They purchase goods for business area AA and they issue goods for business areas A1 and A2 (my question is what is the impact on business area p&L account for this account )
EX:- For A1 Rs 600 & 3 units
For A2 Rs 1400 & 7 units
When i generate P&L account business area wise A1 & A2 it is not going to tally.
so purchase account 800000 is not assigned to business area A1 and A2 it is assigned to business area AA.
According to business scenario is the purchase is done in one business area AA then by goods issue it is issued to two different business areas.
according to above example.
please tell me what is the JV i want to pass to tally business area wise profit and loss account ro
i am not able to generate business area A1 & A2 wise P&L accounts so purchase accoutn assign to business area AA

It's possible in 4.7 and earlier, but not using the FI transactions. Most places would build these in the report painter/writer, or in KE80.

Profit and loss account business area wise

according to client requirement they want only p&L account business area wise
two different profit and loss accounts for two different business areas
plese confirm me
1)if i select check box in obyc business area wise balance sheet, it is only possible to maintain business area wise B/S and PL account
we can display both BS and PL ACCOUNT
if i select check box in obyc it is not possible to maintain only P&L (IF I select this check box it is mandatory to assign business areas to all line items BS & PL account)
here it is not possible to assign business areas only to profit and loss account line items if i assign also it is problem with balance adjustment run.
CONCLUSION
2) it is possible to assign only p&L account line items business area
But in oby6 if i did not select business area wise balance sheet
then you could able to assign business area to profit and loss account line items (Revenue and expenditure)
there is no need of balance sheet readjustment and balance sheet run
for discount and taxes we can make FSG as optional then every month readjustment
please confirm me

Classification of line items into the Detailed Profit and Loss report

Hi,
Given a line item in a profit and loss ledger, what field determines that the line item will appear under Fixed Manufacturing Costs, Sales and Distribution or General Admin Expenses when we generate the Detailed Profit and Loss report?
Thank you

Hi all,
Thank you so much for everyone's quick reply. I really appreciate it.
Please allow me to clarify my question.
I have a balance of 3,712,126.60 in my GL 30000000. In my detailed Profit and Loss (ZPL-002), 705,712.90 is shown under Gen. Operating Exp. while 3,006,413.70 is shown under Fixed Manufacturing Costs.
So, what field does SAP use to allocate those line items between Gen. Operating Exp. and Fixed Manufacturing Costs? Is it Functional Area only?
Thank you.
