Cost of sales goods accounting

Dear all,
We have different type of the sales order. At opm level we have accounting entries against sales order like this cost of goods "dr" and finish product stock "cr". Now I have
created one more order type and want dr account (expense ) that is not cost of goods ,Mean I want to dr the account on the base of sales order type for sales order entry.
Kindly let me know how can I do that. Although cost of sales goods(account) is given at organization level. Is this possible?
Thanks

Hi all
Is there any risk in doing the account determination through User exit in such a scenario. I have found a user exit EXIT_SAPMM07M_001 and include z_mm_exit_zxmbcm02_05 as useful instead of mapping the whole process for this transaction.
This user exit is working fine. Any risk people feel in bypassing OBYC through User exit.

Cost of Sales & Period Account.......

Hi SAP guru's,
- What is the diff. between Cost of Sales Accounting and Period Accounting approach?
- What is reconciliation ledger? what is diff between Reconciliation ledger and Special purpose ledger?
sure we will assign good points
thanks

If you right click on an Invoice and choose "Gross Profit" it will give you a setting on how you want to calculate the Gross Profit for that invoice.
In the accounting point of view the "Base Price" should be "Item Cost" so that the Gross Profit will be (Net Selling Price - Item Cost = Gross Profit). This will give you the same Gross Profit amount between P and L and Sales Analysis Report.
However, SAP B1 gives the user the ability to select a different base price other than the Item Cost.
This gives the user the flexibility for the Sales Report. Example (Net Sales Price - Vendor Sales Price = Gross Profit). People do this sometimes because the item's cost fluctuates if you use FIFO or average cost and they want a uniform cost to calculate their Gross Profit.
In summary if the Base Price is not set to "Item Cost" then there will be difference in the Gross Profit between the P and L and Sales Analysis Report.

Compare with my cost of goods sold account to my sales revenue account

Hi,
i want to compare with my cost of goods sold account to my sales revenue account.

No doudt we can see in Profit of margin in billing doc. It is quite impossible to see all document in respective wise. Please give a solution for which i can know what is profit of margin with comparing values in both of Account.
Thank's
Abhay

Hi,
This is possible through CO-PA report. You can get the result per sales order.
Also the same can be achieved in FI as follows:
Outbound delivery document thr" VL01N is captured in "Reference field" of FI doc (BKPF-XBLNR) generated through delivery.
If the settings are done by SD person to capture the outbound delivery no. in "Reference field" of FI doc generated through Billing document (VF01), then there will be a common field to compare the documents in both accounts.
In transaction FAGLL03, select the account COGS & Sales revenue account. Once the report displays, sort or take sub total on this common field "Reference".
This will give you difference between COGS & Sales revenue per document.
Hope this resolves your query.

Cost of sales and period accounting approach

Hi friends,
i have little bit confusion about
1. What is Cost of Sales Accounting and
2. What is Period Accounting approach in Profit Center Accounting?

Siva Reddy S.

Hello,
For concept, pl refer to below link:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_47x200/helpdata/en/eb/13811243c411d1896f0000e8322d00/frameset.htm
For Cost of sales accounting, you have to activate functional area. Revenues are only compared for cost of goods sold in COS whereas in period based, you also compare revenue reserves, WIP etc.

Period accounting vs Cost of Sales accounting

Hello all,
Could someone explain to me the difference between Period accounting and Cost of Sales accounting? Where is period accounting configured in ECC 6.0?
I am trying configure PCA. The client wants the Profit centers to be setup product-wise. They have 3 products: a) a handheld GPS device, b) the accessories for the GPS device, c) and the subscription. I have setup 3 profit centers according to the 3 products.
Does either cost of sales accounting or period accounting come into the picture in my scenario? What I mean is, do either of the two methods have to be configured? And if so, why?
I have read in some places ("Configuring FICO" by Hurst & Nowak) that preparing PCA to accept actual postings can be very simple or complex. On the simple side, all that is required is to activate the fiscal year control parameters, create the proper document types, and define the necessary number ranges. For more complex solutions, additional account assignment may be maintained, and internal goods movement can be defined.
My client is just looking for a plain vanilla implementation of PCA at this time. Does that affect whether we use period or COS accounting?
Thanks in advance! Points available.

Period Accounting
In period accounting, the performance of a particular business unit (profit center) - that is, its revenues, changes in inventory and capitalized services - is set off against the total costs of the period. This occurs at the G/L account level and adheres to the formal structure of Financial Accounting. This gives you a uniform structure of report data and lets you reconcile the data of cost and financial accounting on the basis of cost elements.
Hope this helps.

Cost of sales accounting & period accounting

Hi folks,
I want to know the difference between cost of sales accounting & period accounting. where do we use them and which is preferable. thanks in advance.
Regards,
Vijay

Two accounting methods used for generating profitability statements are the cost-of-sales method and the period accounting method. Applying either method to a given set of business transactions under a given set of laws yields the same bottom-line result (profit) in concept. The difference is in how the overall profit and loss picture is presented.
 Companies must choose to use one of these methods for generating their legal financial statements. The choice is often determined by country-specific legal requirements.
 Cost-of-sales accounting
 With this method, the emphasis is on matching the revenues for goods and/or services provided (the value that a company gains as a result of sales) against the related expenses for those items (the value that is lost when products are transferred out of the company). Therefore, this accounting method displays profit and loss information in a manner optimized for conducting margin analyses, and as such it is optimal for the sales, marketing, and product management areas.
 Period accounting
 With this method, the emphasis is on summarizing the activity and situational change over a period of time, for a given organizational unit. Therefore, this accounting method presents the revenues and primary expenses that have been incurred during a given period of time and the changes in stock value levels, work-in-process, and capitalized activities. As such, it is optimal for the production and profit center areas.

Cost-of-sales accounting / DUMMY-substitution for CO posting w/o func. area

Dear experts,
we activated Cost-of-sales accounting (special ledger - no use of NewGL functionalities).
We use the SAP "Standard substitition" in FI to make sure that all postings on P&L accounts go to special ledger. If no functional area can be derived, posting is assigend to Dummy functional area.
So far so good.
My question is: Is it possible to set up a "similar" substituition in case of CO postings with secondary cost element (e.g. Internal activity allocation, Overhead Rates) on other CO-object without functional area.
e.g. Internal activity allocation from Cost center to production order. No functional area assigned to production order.
I hope you unterstand my question for this issue.
Thanks in advance for your reply.
regards,
Butch

thanks for your answer.
I added the filed FKBER in table VWTYGB01.
Now I can select field "functional area" for CO Substitution.
nevertheless substitution does not work and set functional area on Dummy FB 9990 for CO postings to CO-object without Functional area.
Thats curious because I maintained exactly the same Substitution on an other SAP System (IDES Test System) and here it works.
Any ideas?
Are there further settigs required after maintenance of table VWTYGB01??
Thanks in advance

OKB9 - Cost of sales accounts assigned to profitability segement

Hi All,
I am brand new in an SAP team and I want to understand how OKB9 works and how I could control it.
I want that all Cost of sales accounts ( included cycle count adjustment, difference when posting MIRO ) are posted to profitability segment.
At the moment account for cost difference between inventory price and invoice price is defined in OKB9 with a default cost center.Can I change that to PSG ?
Also if I define the accounts as PSG, how can I prevent people from booking manually to cost center for example on those accoutns where I only want profitability segment bookings ?
Hope this is clear enough to receive good help.
Thanks
Stéphane

If you dont want people to post to a cost center you can control this via the FSG (Field Status Group)
This is linked to the GL account, and defined at posting key level.

Cost Center and GL account in Sales Order / Delivery

I have a requirement where we want user to specify what cost center and GL account should be used while posting goods issue.
Currently GL account and Cost Center is automatically determined based on OBYC configuration.
Is there a way user can populate Cost center and GL account at Sales order or Delivery document level and what ever they have specified will be used for Posting Goods Issue.
If user doesnt specify anything then standard OBYC determination should take place.
I looked at OVF3 transaction which can default cost center (though no GL account) but its not useful in our requirement.
I also looked at OKB9 transaction but not sure if we can use it either.
Again we want user to enter Cost center and GL account at either SO or Delivery document level and then that should be used for Post goods issue.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
In delivery under tab GOODS MOVEMENT DATA
After valuation type column COST CENTER & G/L Account column available
Now with the help of FI consultant make it change mode so user can maintain also I observe that if delivery created without reference to order then that fields are in change mode means user cn maintain data for this but if with reference to order it is disable mode
Check in t-code OMJJ FIELD SELECTION FOR MOVEMENT TYPE
Put movement 601
Then select movement type and double click on filed selection (from 201)
Then go to additional account assignment and for cost centre make it optional or requirement
or Else under field selection enjoy for movement type 602 indsert field KONT0 and KOSTL and check
If this can not work there is option field selection for G/L account check that with FI

How to allocate cost variances during goods issue in sales process?

Hi all,
In China GAAP, cost variances ( variance between standard cost and actual cost) should be capitalized to balance sheet at month-end.
Q1: Could I settle the cost variance to a B/S account instead of P/L account? What's SAP or your recommendation?
Q2: if we settle the cost variances to a B/S account, How could we allocate the production cost when post goods issue for sales order? i.e
Dr: COGS
Cr: cost of finished goods
Cr: production cost (B/S account, cost variances by proration of sold)
Please advice.Thanks in advance
Regards,
Alex LIU

Hi,
All variances between Standard & Actual cost should be settled to a P/L A/c as these are similar to Purchase Price variances on Raw Material purchases.
If you are valuing your Finished Goods @ Standard cost, then the difference between the Standard & the Actual cost should be debited or credited to a Price or Cost difference P/L A/c either at the time of doing the GR of the Production or at the time of posting the Goods Issue for Sales Order.
The balance in the Cost difference accounts needs to be finally posted to profitability segments in COPA.

Breakdown of costs into specific GL Accounts on Sales Order

So, here's what I understand from the client. They have the cost of production from Raw Materials to Finished Goods and will be setting up in the system on the production side by the breakdown of all costs. The question is, when a sale is made, can we post some or all of these specific costs into respective GL accounts? I am not still very clear on the requirement as such, but it was drafted by someone prior to me. I am just preparing to understand this scenario in terms of how we can do this in the system. Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Hi
When we make sales we can charge cost of goods sold to relevant GL by making account determination assignment in OBYC and accounting entry takes place at the time of PGI. We can charge material's cost price in one G/L here. If your query to break this cost in different GLs and post, then I must say that this is not possible. System only posts materials cost price which comes from material master data.
Understand your client's query in detail and see if this is what they are seeking for.

Hi Pranav
Your requirement can be met by product costing and copa
Standard cost estimate split can be transferred to copa during billing. Your std cost estimate will comprise of raw material, labor, overhead etc. When you release bulling from vf01, system will update cost split also along with revenue
However, this split will be based on std cost. Variances are updated to copa during month end when you settle the prod order... if you want the split in copa based on actual cost, you need material ledger activated
To fetch std cost split in copa, you need
1. Costing key in ke40
2. Val strategy in ke4u
3. Val field mapping to cost components in ke4r
4. Costing key assignment in ke4j or kepc
This is addressed many times in the forum. You can check for the above steps in scn

Sales Analysis report does not match Cost of Sales Account

My client is running SAP B1 8.81 PL 6. He has set all items to standard costing method. He has discovered that the difference between the Sales Amount and the Gross Profit amount on the Sales Analysis report, which should equal the Cost of Sales for the Items, does not match the Cost of Sales G/L account on the P&L report. If you look at a sample of rows, the above difference divided by the quantity equals the standard cost of the item. There are no manual journal entries that affect the COS account for the posting period that is being analyzed. I cannot see any mathmatical difference or problem with the above analysis, nor can I find the problem. There is about an $85K difference between the reports. The Sales Amount on the Sales Analysis report matches the revenue account on the P&L to the penny. Has anyone ever compared these 2 reports? Thank you for your help.

Subsequent / re-activation of Cost of Sales Accounting

We are currently engaged at a new SAP customer (ECC6) that does not currently require COS Accounting to be activated /functional area functionality, but might require it at a later stage / subsequent to the initial go-live.
Based on the contents of SAP Note 740519, it appears that when COS Accounting is subsequently activated, the functional area cannot be repopulated for historic data when using ECC6.
QUESTION:
Should the customer decide to subsequently activate COS Accounting at the start of a new fiscal year (i.e. post go-live), all the P&L data will be populated with the functional area from the start of the new fiscal year. However, what about the carry forward balances for the Balance Sheet accounts? Is there a way to repopulate the "carried forward" balances in the Balance Sheet with a functional area, else the balance sheet will always contain incomplete functional area data for the carried forward balances.
Also, please advise if there is a program available to repopulate functional areas subsequently in the event of a subsequent activation of COS Accounting. If not, if the customer activate COS Accounting even though they don't require it at present, because it appears that you cannot change the functional area assignments once updated with transactional data?
As such, what is the recommended course of action:
1. Only activate COS Accounting when required, but resulting issues with updating historic data with functional area.... OR
2. Activate and configure pre go-live, but then cannot change functional area assignments once populated with transactional data.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Kind regards,
Dolf

Hi Dolf
   I have exactly the same requirement now with respect to cost of sales accounting. My client went live a couple of months back and now wants to activate Cost of Sales Accouting. I have the same question of how to populate the existing historic data with the functional areas.
   What did you do when you had this issue? Did you find out any way or work around to update the historic data with functional area? What approach did you take during your implementation?
    Your response would be highly appreciated and rewarded.
