Revenue recognition for sub-item

I have a product called Term license, when i enter this line item in sales order, automatically i should get a sub-item warranty under it (which is only for internal purposes).
And suppose the price of the product is $1000/-, 10% of the cost of this product (i.e. $100/-)will be considered as the cost for warranty for 12 months.(The warranty is not billed separately to customer, but internally the 10% of the cost is considered as cost towards providing warranty support.)
The customer gets billed only for Term Licence and the warranty piece does not show up in the invoice. The revenue for licence part gets recognized based on the milestones completions 10/70/20%. So $900 is recognized for the term licence.
Then warranty period starts once the milestone of 70% is confirmed. And from that time the revenue $100 is split for 12 months and then this revenue is recognized monthly based on billing.
Can anyone guide me how we can set up this configuration.
Regards,
Ajay

Hi Ajay,
As far as I understood that you want to realise the warranty amount of 100$ from the customer once your 70% milestone is completed.
I think you can start realising this amount along with the license cost with each milestone.But keep your money in the deffered account.Once your 70% milestone is reached then you can start running the transaction VF44 one by one for each line item.
In this case your revenue account will only get hit once the 70% milestone is reached.
Reward points if it helps.

Result analysis for sub-items on SD-order

Hello,
I would like to know, whether also the document flow for subitems is being checked while executing result analysis.
Example:
We have got an SD order, a higher-level item and a sub-item.
Both of them have assigned the same result analysis key. Within this key it is defined in customizing (OKG3), that the Sales Order Structure is A-"Summarize Plan and Actual Data of Subitems on Highest Item"....so the result analysis for the sub-item is being performg via the higher-level item.
The higher-level positions is already completed - the delivery is made and also the invoice is created.
The sub-item is not completed - neighter delivery is made nor the invoice.
While executing the result analysis for the higher-level item, the status FNBL (final billing) is recognized and all cost are settled from WIP to CO-PA.
As far as I know, the document flow should be checked withitn the result analysis and based on this the status should be recognized.
Therefore It seems, that only the document flow from the higher-level item is being checked. If also the document flow from the sub-item is checked, there would be no way to get the status FNBL as the sub-item is not complete.
Is it SAP standard delivered behaviour?
Thanks in advance
Peter

Thanks Waman,
I have tried to delete the result analysis key from the sub-item, but still the same result in result analysis...
Could you tell my the consequences from the 1A setup from the note? It is adviced withitn the note to not use the 1A setup. But we use this and it works fine. Just some messages during the result analysis, that it could not be performed for sub-items, but this has no influence on the values.
Regards
Peter

Revenue recognition for Fixed price project

Dear Friends,
We are facing an issue with revenue recognition. This is with regard to fixed price project(Item catagory: FPR) wherein process follows with Sales order-->Delivery-->PGI--->Revenue recognition(VF44). Revenue recognition is carried out with reference to the delivery document.
After completing revenue recognition w.r.t the delivery document, still document is appearing in VF44 for revenue recognition. My understanding is it is not supposed to be appeared in VF44. One more thing is in VF44 "Follow On" document is appearing as Sales order number.
please suggest how to fix this issue.
with regards,

Item Category do ot change for sub-item in BOM

Hi Friends
I create main item using MM01, Gen item cat. grop in basic data 1 in ERLA and Item cat. group in Sales org. 2 is LUMF
and similarily i created other items useing MM01 (for making sub item of main item) Gen Item Cat grop in basic data 1 is NORM and Item cat group in Sales Org. is also NORM.
When i create sales order (OR) and enter main item only, when i press enter (green button at right top), BOM automatically explode and Item Category of main item change to TAP main item become in display mode BUT ITEM CATEGORY of sub items do not change (it remains the same as TAN), i should also change to TAE
and also when i save this document it shows error at bottam that prising PR00 is missing. When i edit and give price of each sub item, i can save document and all prices which i am giving just now is automatically added in net value at header lavel.
Please any one can advice me where i am doing wrong

HI,
Please check in customizing.IN assign item category menu
S.doc typeitem cat. groupUsageHigh lvl itemiem cate.
ORERLA TAQTAE.
IN MM01 ERLA and LUMF can not be assigned to same material.They are alternative item category group.
ERLA is used when you want to price Main item in BOM and sub-item are not priced.
LUMF is used when main item in BOM is not priced but sub-item(individual component) are priced.
In SAles org vie 2- you have assigned LUMF,that is each sub-item is priced.hence you are able save the document.Since You have maintained price in VK11 for each sub-item and item category of sub-item is not getting vhanged from TAN to TAE.
But if you maintained ERLA in Sales org view 2 and redo all steps,your problem will be solved.

Revenue recognition for a customer

Hi
If a customer is located in India and company i.e company code is also in India .However if customer also wants the goods to be deilvered in singapore and if company has branch in singapore too,please let me know as per accounting rules where should the company be recognising the revenue in singapore or India.
Regards

It depends on whether the Singapore is a separate company code or not. In most cases, any overseas branch will be created as a separate company code to fulfill the local reporting needs. Therefore it becomes a separate legal entity.
If you are selling the goods from India company directly to the customer without involving the Singapore company, then the revenue will be recognised in India company only. Singapore will have no part to play in that.
However, if you are transferring the goods to Singapore branch and that in turn makes an invoice for the Customer, then Singapore will recognise the sale (revenue) from the Customer and India company will recognise the sale (revenue) from the Singapore company (Here Inter-company sale-purchase transaction will happen, Singapore will recognise the purchase from India company because both are two independant legal entities).

Spry Menu Bar 2.0 auto-width issues for sub items

How Revenue Recognition value calculate in VF45 for an item

Hello Experts,
I want to know how system calculates Revenue Recognition for any item in VF45. I know the configuration part of Revenue Recognition but want to know the calculation part, how calculation going to find out the vale of the Revenue recognition.
Item net price is 3139255.45 and system calculate Revenue recognition for this item is 3139020.94.
I want to know how calculation going for Revenue recognition.
Can any body help me out ? any link /document related to Revenue Recognition Calculation (not configuration) please share with me.
Thanks,

Hello Prasanth,
For example :- Maintaining an annual Price ZPRC - 1200 and Billing plan is Annual
So, while recognising SAP takes 1200 / 365(Number of days) = 3.287 per day
For jan - 31 days - 31*3.287 =101.91
For feb - 28 days - 28*3.287 = 92.05
Thank you for your time.

SD Revenue Recognition-Account settings for deferring COGS

Hi Experts
In the current process, COGS, cost of goods sold is getting posted into the COGS G/L account, while creation of billing document.
In VF44 transaction, we find option for VPRS cost being captured against every line item & are available for posting along with revenue line.
In that case, if we have to defer the COGS while creating the billing document & would recogonize it while running VF44 alone with the revenue lines, could you suggest me the account setting to be done for the same?
Anticipating earliest responses
Thanks
Banu

REVENUE RECOGNITION
In revenue recog. you can create your billing documents and they will be passed to accountings.But in this case your customer account would be debited and deferred accounts would be credited.
The purpose of revenue recognition is that you can post all the revenues from a deferred account to sales revenue account for a particular period together for all the docs. through transaction VF44.
if you can se your sales docs no. in VF44,then your revenue recognition is successful.Press on collective processing inside VF44 for posting the revenues from deffered acc to sales revenue account.
Configuration part includes the setting of revenue recog. in item category by following the path sd-basic functionsaccount assnmnt/costingrevenue recog.
Then you have to assign G/L accounts.In the first column of assigning g/l accounts ,enter your sales revenue account and in the second column enter deferred revenue accounts.Deferred revenue account is a spcl g/l account.
Don't forget to enter reconcilliation account in your customer master as well.
It may happen that in revenue recog item categories fields may greyed out but you have to get authorization for your id from a basis guy.
:The point at which revenue (income) is credited to a revenue account in General Ledger. There are three possible types
Time-based : Revenue is recognized in equal proportions between specific start and end dates based on the number of posting periods defined at the company level. Revenue recognition for time-based documents can occur before, during, or after the invoice process.
Performance-based : Revenue is recognized based on the occurrence of certain events such as goods issue or the performance of a service. Revenue recognition for performance-based documents can occur before, during, or after the invoice process.
Standard : Revenue is recognized at time of invoice:
The specified item was not found.
Re: Revenue Recognition
CONTRACTS
Lets take standard CQ contract type:
First maintain customer - material info record in VD51 T-code
Secondly maintain pricing for customer / material or only material combination in VK31 / VK11 T-code
Then use VA41 T-code to create a contract
VA42 to change contract
VA43 to display / view contract
In VA41, enter the document type CQ, followed by the sales area details,
Enter Sold to party.
Enter PO number
Enter PO Date
Enter Validitiy from Date
Enter Validity to Date
Enter Material
Enter Quantity say 999,999,999 or any other higher quantity as it is referred again and agaain
Hit Enter.
Save.

Customization for revenue recognition

Can anyone advise why the customization setting for revenue recognition is greyed out? This is related to the setting against the item category.
Path : SD => Basic Functions => Acct Assignment/Costing => Revenue Recognition => Set revenue recognition for item categories.
Is there some other settings need to be done first or is this customization accessed from other path?
Thanks
Peter

Hi Peter,
It's the correct path you are accessing! No prior settings required.
It's working fine for me peter.
Try once again.Ensure that you are in change mode.

Revenue Recognition (AR Closed for future month in error)

Need help with revenue recognition. In the month of June in AR July was opened in error, so it was put in to close pending. Since July was closed the last 3 days worth of June invoices did not have any revenue recognition for July. Instead July's revenue was posted in to August since August was showing as a future period, and July was closed. Is there any fix to change the revenue recognition without doing a credit and rebill of 3 days worth of invoicing? If we reopen June, and run revenue recognition again, will that help? Thanks in advance for any help.

Well there are a few ways you can go ahead and fix this, but it depends on lot of factors.
Lets say you have 1 invoice for which the revenue has been recognized in August and not July, now you can query up that invoice in the transaction's workbench and incomplete it. After incompleting all the revenue recognized distributions would be deleted(applicable 11.5.10 onwards) and when you complete the invoice again & run the RR program the revenue would be recognized in July(provided it's in an open status). Please note though that you can incomplete a transaction only if it doesn't have any activity against it!
Now coming to the real world it's possible that the number of transaction's you have could be quite large and doing this manually through the screen might not be feasible. So you could possibly write a small pl/sql script to loop through those invoice's and incomplete them by calling the complete/incomplete group transaction's api. And then again complete them and re-run RR program to complete the fix.
Please note though that you can incomplete a transaction only if it doesn't have any activity against it!
With posted transaction's or transaction's having other activity, it's possible to fix them too but that would be taking things too far and Oracle Support/Development would be best equipped to provide you the fix in that scenario.

PGI for both main and sub items (Sales BOM)

Hello SD friends,
I'm trying to map some BOM scenario.
Only main item should be relevant for princing.
Here's what I've done :
1. Create sales BOM via CS01
2. Maintain item category group ERLA for main item and NORM for sub item MM01
3. Maintain item category TAQ for main item and TAE for sub item VOV4
When I wanna do PGI, system creates material document only for main item.
Which means that PGI has not been done for sub items.
Is there any way to make PGI possible for both main and sub items ??
Regards,
Bahia.

Can you clear, that why you want to issue both Main item/Sub Item, where your pricing is @ main item level.
in Main item level Pricing, Main item itself includes components. Once you issue the main item. from Inventory this main item wil be reduced.
Eg: In Case of Main Item- Computer (Assume Components - Monitor , Keyboard , CPU & Mouse)
Price for Computer - $1200. Component prices individually- $300 , $100, $700, $100 - These prices applicable only when you sell as BOM at Subitem level Pricing Or Seperately )-
In SO: - Order Computer (System explodes Components to verify,which are the subitems consists in Main Item)
DEL:- Components will be copied in Delivery , but not for dispatch (Sch Line Cat:CT has these controls)
Inv: Only Main item will be displayed for print.
NOTE: for your requirement, you can change the Schline Category from CT - CN- which is relevant for delivery with movement type i601 -in SO. Then you can dispatch components & these components will not copied into Invoice ,as they are not relevant for billing.
If you want CN has to determined automatically, maintain Schline Category determination accordingly.
Hope it helps,
Any info, please revert

Not able to delete a delivery after revenue recognition is reversed

Hello Gurus,
We have a situation for certain Sales Order types after creation of Sales Order -> Delivery and PGI, we do revenue recognition. But there was some mistake and delivery needed to be deleted and recreated if needed. So after doing revenue recognition reversal we are reversing the PGI. After this when we try to delete the Delivery ( which would have got deleted if there was no revenue recognition process ) we get the below error.
Is it a problem with the way Revenue recognition is configured or does the standard behave like this. If the Invoice is also present in the above I am able to cancel the Invoice. If you think its a problem with the way Revenue reccognition is configured please advise.
Item 000010 cannot be deleted (revenue recognition status)
Message no. VL896
Diagnosis
The delivery or delivery item cannot be deleted.
System response
The document cannot be deleted since the delivery contains items that
reference sales document items that are relevant for revenue
recognition. When the goods issue was posted, the system created revenue
lines that had already been recognized. This means that there are
subsequent documents in revenue recognition for this delivery.
Procedure
If you no longer require the delivery or delivery item for deletion, set
the delivery quantities to zero and repost the goods issue. Make sure
that the quantity zero is allowed in Customizing for the delivery item
category. When the goods issue is posted, the overall processing status
is set to C and the delivery can be archived. Message determination
should be configured not to send any messages in this case. To make sure
that the system makes revenue corrections if there are differences
vbetween billed and recognized values, set a billing-relevant rejection
reason in the sales document item if more than one partial delivery is
allowed.
If you still want to use the delivery, adjust the delivery quantities
accordingly. Alternatively, deliver the referencing sales document item
again. Note that the sales document item cannot be delivered again if
only a partial delivery is allowed.
What are the changes I can do to Delete the Delivery?
If I cannot Delete the Delivery, Should I make the Delivery as 0 qty and create a new delivery with changed qty and do further process. Or should I reject the Sales Order and create a new sales order with exact qty and do further process.
Please advise.
Regards,
SNK.
Delivery has one line item. For the above case scenario, invoice is there for some deliveries and for some deliveries there is no invoice. Eg: SO -> DN -> PGI -> Rev Recog -> Iv or SO -> DN -> PGI -> Rev Recog. Requirement was SO was wrongly created as the qty was wrong or in some cases SO needs to be rejected. I am able to cancel Invoice. Rev recog is reversed. PGI is cancelled by VL09. Not able to delete Delivery and I get the above error. Ideally I thought since Rev recog is reversed, Delivery should have been deleted but not happening and above error comes.
SO - Sales Order DN - Delivery IV - Invoice

UNBILLED RECIEVABLE ACCOUNT- SERVICE CONTRACT WITH REVENUE RECOGNITION

Hi SAP Gurus,
I want to draw your kind attention towards my problem:
I have created service contract with one year contract and created an invoice for the whole year in advance.
Now in-between i cancelled a contract (after three months) and want to recognised a revenue for the contract period , so i'm creating a revenue recognition for the three months one by one using transaction code-VF44,
first month revenue recogniton is working fine as first month amount is going from deffered account to revenue account
But for second month instead of deffered account ,system is using unbilled recievable account ,which is wrong .
Can anybody tell me why the system is picking unbilled receivable account instead of deffered account in case of second month revenue recogniton.
This may help us:
"When i was cancelling a contract ,at that time i was entering a billing plan end date in billing plan tab at an item level.
and just after entering end date ,system was creating two lines instead of one in billing plan tab and i think because of that extra line system is picking unbilled receivables in second revenue recognition."
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Thank you for your reply.
I am doing a contract billing for overall period that is for 12 months (contract is of 12 months).
Just after 3 months i have realized that somehow we have to cancel the contract and we canceled that in 3rd month.
I had created the created a contract with periodic billing plan and for canceling that contract i'm putting contract end date in BILLING PLAN TAB as 31/03/2011 (Let say contract is from 01/01/2011 to 31/12/2011).
Can you/anybody please tell me whether is this the correct way of canceling the contract with periodic billing plan?
As per your analysis:
"It seems you have done the billing document for one period and you are doing the RR document for multiple periods and hence the revenue is going to unbilled receivable account for the period for which billing document has not been done"
As i have billed the customer for 12 months but contract was only for 3 months so i'll create RR for only 3 months and for rest of the period (i.e. 9 months) i'll create credit memo and send it to customer.
"Please use a billing type where you will specify only start date and end date of the contract and not the billing plan in contract"
How can we use billing type for contract start and end date .
I think as soon as i'm changing the dates in billing plan tab system is proposing another line item with different billing dates and that is not getting covered under deferred account that is still unbilled amount .
Waiting for your valuable inputs.
In case of any clarification kindly revert to me.
Thanks,
Ujjawal
