Cost of Sales to PA

I'm currently trying to use SAP series sales and create acontract for a product. When the contract is created and billed an invoice is also created at which point FI postings are made to recievables and deferred revenue. After running revenue recognition (VF44) further FI postings are created (deferred revenue and sales) aswell as a PA posting for sales revenue. Orders are then created for each subscription issue, with each one having a purchase rec. A PO is then created and goods receipted which in turn creates a c.o.s FI posting as well as pctr and ctr postings. However, at no time in the process do any c.o.s postings get made to PA.
When should these be made and how do I go about configuring the system to make them?
Thanks.

Put VPRS in your pricing procedure and it ceates the cost at the time of the billing document. Assign VPRS to a value field in PA.
pls assign points if helpful as a way to say thanks.

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

How to keep the same cost in Sales order and return order?

Hi experts,
When I create a sales order with item cost 100 USD.
Then the cost of item changed and down to 90 USD.
When I do goods return refer to the sales order. How can I keep the same cost (VPRS) 100 USD but not 90 USD?
I made a test the cost in sales order is 100 USD but 90 USD in return sales order.
I want the cost in return sales order is 100 USD.
How can I do?
Thanks,
Lance

Hi,
Let me tell u my understanding of your requirement, after the sales the cost of the item is changed to some thing low than it was in sales order or invoice, in this scenario you need to transfer the cost of the material as it is in the sale order or invoice (which you are taking as reference to create a Return Order), am i right?
If so, you can proceed like this.
In the copy controls of Billing to Sales orders ( F2 to RE) we have the pricing type N assigned to it ( Transfer pricing components unchanged, New Cost) here the system is reading the change of the cost again from the material master. if you don' t want it to read the material master data again we can have a change try with pricing type 'D' (Copy Pricing elements unchanged), and try now.
let me know the result.
hope this will solve your problem.

You create a sales document with the order type for free of charge deliveries.
In Customizing you can block the free of charge delivery from being delivered. Go to Sales > Sales Documents > Sales document header > Define sales document types, and select the Delivery block field in the Shipping section.
For free of charge deliveries, you can do one of the following:
Approve it by deleting the delivery block.
reject it by entering a reason for rejection.
Pl clarify if this what you are looking for.

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.
Bill Turek

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.

Good morning,

Please tell me something more if you know.

Adding Cost of Sales for Non-Stock articles to POS Inbound Pricing Schema

Hi guys
I'm working on a requirement to derive the Cost of Sales for non-stock items by pulling the current cost for the site and multiplying it by the billed quantity on VBRP. We could create a new condition type using purchase org, article and site in the condition table and manually enter condition records. However it would be more elegant to copy prices from the Purchasing list or deal prices into new condition types in the POS inbound pricing procedure. However SAP standard doesn't seem to allow condition copying from purchasing to sales.
Regards
Brett

Hi ,
As it happens you need to do this for Non-Stock Articles only.... then you need a routine to do this .
And then in IS -Retail do we not use NETPrice or Final Cost Price to derive the Sales Price ... In that case you get the Cost Price when the Billing doc is getting posted at line level...

The effect of placing retain earning in drawer cost of sales

Dear Experts/Gurus,
I have a problem relate to retained earning G/L account. I have seen there are 2-3 types of GL account retain earning i.e last year, running period and current period.
Some of databases contains 2 or 3.
The problem is that I do not know the effect if running period is placing in drawer cost of sales. usually it is in capital and reserve.
What will be the effect ?
I know I can modify the financial report but the main purpose I still do not know.
I appreciate your answer. TIA
Rgds,

Hi Will,
It means that the account type is not sales and expense but other. It fully depended on company's preference.
Based on these formula I researched:
Gross profit (GP) = retained earning - revenues
Operating profit (OP) = GP - COGS
Profit after financing expenses (PAFE)= OP - Total expenses
Profit period = PAFE - Other revenues and expenses
So, all are fully depended on G/L account location and setting in COA and off course its daily use in the transaction either after it set in the G/L account determination or journal entry transaction.

Post Cost of Sales in PS after Result Analysis

Hi SAP experts,
I'm testing SAP EC&O best practice solution at this moment.
I executed KKAJ (results analysis) and both Cost of Sales and WIP were calculated correctly.
COS: for a TECO WBS, which already have billing document
WIP: for other WBS which is still in progress.
I already saved this results analysis, however, when I execute settlement (CJ8G), I can only find the posting to FI of WIP. (Dr GL WIP account/Cr P&L WIP account). My expect is to have COS posted to FI as well (to recognize COS for the billing of completed WBS above).
Kindly help me to figure out what I was missing here? I don't know at what step COS will be posted to FI. I searched all configuration document in Best Practice but cannot find any configuration for Results Analysis & Settlement for COS account.
Thanks so much for your help.

Cost Of Sales

Hey Good People,
I have a client who is having problems with the calculation o Cost of sales.
The Client is a retailer who imports most of his products for local sale. Import and pricing is handled in foreign Currency - USD or EUR, whilst sales is in Local currency
The Company places and Sales Order say for 10 Items at 10 Dollars Each = 100 Dollars.
At time of Purchase order (01.02.09) and GRN (28.02.09) the Local Currency Monthly Exchange rate to the dollar is say 10. Therefore the Equivalent in Local currency (LC) at the time of placing the order is 10 items at 100 (LC) = 1000 (LC). At the GRN Stage, landed Costs are recorded in Local currency = Total is 500 (LC)
Thus the total Item cost in Local currency is Purchase Price (1000) + Landed Costs (500) divided by qty (10) = 15 LC Per Item
All this is recorded within SAP. The problem occurs on Purchase invoicing and recoding/adjustment of Cost of Sales (Delivery/Invoice Item Cost).
As the goods are already in the store, they begin sales 01.03.09 - sales price marked up appropriately to 25 (LC).4 items are sold and the Cost of Sale for this Sales Delivery/Invoice is 6*15 = 80 (LC). 4 Remain in Stock
The client is then sent the Purchase Invoice to pay on the 05.03.09 - here the Exchange Rate has risen to 11. Thus the Invoice is for 1100 (LC) - Equivalent to 100 USD as the order and GRN. This is paid with no problem and SAP Makes Appropriate adjustments - This will reflect in the P& L and the variance reduces overall profitability
The problem that exists is the Sales Analysis Gross Profitability Report in SAP - by Items and by Customer. This takes the Values in the Invoices/Deliveries whose COS cannot can never be adjusted.
The only option would be to spread the additional cost to the other Items and this would result in some items being sold at a loss.
Take the Example above
4 items remain in stock - additional Cost due to Exchange differences is 100, Spread evenly to products = equals 25 added to Costs = New Cost is thus 40 (Old Item Cost plus revaluation). The selling price cannot be adjusted (need to remain competitive/consistent). Thus the remaining four are sold at a loss.
Has anyone encountered this problem ? Can anyone propose any Solutions/Workaround
Your input will be greatly appreciated

Hi Micheal
Your problem is not uncommon, and one cannot expect a system to allow you to change the cost on sales afterwards as this would involve a lot of adjustments. This is normal behavior and the only workarounds would be to block imported goods from sale until the invoice has been processed, or to keep the exchange rate the same from the Goods Receipt to the invoice and allow the exchange rate difference to be absorbed when paying the invoice at the final exchange rate. This can be achieved by using the same date for the invoice as was used for the Goods Receipt.
Is there a reason why the dates of the GRPO and Invoice differ? Usually with imports a Pro Forma Invoice is issued in order to get bank and forex approvals prior to importing goods.
Let me know so I can better understand the timing difference in invoicing.
Kind regards

Cost of Sales Amount more then Sales Amount

Hi All
We have an issue at a customer where the cost of sales amount is more then the Sales amount for the month of august...for the a specific customer group.
The account balances also reflect the same.
The customer uses Advance Gl account determination and managed Items by Item Group...where each item group as their own Stock, Sales and Cost of sales account...this is managed with the rules in the advanced GL determination.
We have ran the general ledger report to see if there are any peculiar transactions, but we cant seem to see anything out of the ordinary.
Is there anything else we can check to find out where the problem lies.
Any ideas are welcome.
Thank you.
Jerusha

Hi Jerusha,
Run this query and check the last column grossprofit . If it's negative you have a negative profit and then see the document.
SELECT T1.[DocNum], T1.[DocDate], T0.[DocEntry], T0.[LineNum], T0.[ItemCode], T0.[Dscription], T0.[Quantity], T0.[TotalSumSy], T0.[GrssProfit] FROM INV1 T0 INNER JOIN OINV T1 ON T0.DocEntry = T1.DocEntry WHERE T1.[DocDate] >= [%0] and T1.[DocDate] <=[%1]

Cost of sales derivation

I have a requirement to determine cost of sales derivation.
My question is that what are the SAP fields used in determine it .
Or is there a field which itself says the cost of sales derivation?
Thanks..

If the Goods Issue is already posted for a material, you can get it by reading accounting document generated for goods movement ( material document, table MSEG) otherwise read the cost estimate of the material. Get all the cost items for labor and material cost.

Cost of Sales Accouting

Dear All,
Client didn't activated the Cost of Sales Accounting initially and preparing Profit & Loss Account by periodic Method for the last four year.
Now Client want the profit & loss on the basis of Cost of Sales Accouting. We defined Functional Area , assiged to Cost enter, Order Type & GL as per user requirement.
I have the following question regarding the existing master data on which already transactional data posted without functional area. What must I consider about the following cost object
1-Internal order ( Real/statiscal settled , released & completed .......)
2-Production/Process/PM Order( settled, released, and closed.......)
4-Product Cost Collector
Further, our Fiscal year is K4, can we activate the Cost of Sales Accounting from start of Fiscal year, so that the date can be captured completely.. is there any time dependency for activation of cost of sales accounting..?

Shalin
How did you finally solve these issue?
I have the same problem thou i have not yet installed the CoS accounting. I think that you are able to read the functional area form the new total table that is created once the COS Accounting is active. So the BSEG is reflected on both GLT0 and GLT0FUNC (which i think that the name of the new table with the Functional area included) and there are standard reports similar to RFBILA00 that reads form the new total table.
Is all i am expecting right according to your experience?
Please tell me what you have found on CoS Accounting grounds. Not many people install it this way.
