Revenue recognition in Item category

Dear All
Can you advise what exactly is revenue recognition in item category?.
I need to enter A in the field, but the field is greyed.
Thanks
Deepu Pillai

Dear Deepu,
The Concept of "Revenue Recognition" in Item Category is -
The material, with specified Item Category, is defined for income-accrual or not.
Now, Income-accrual means, say, in a month, you have "n" no. of orders to deliver, but might possible that Invoice and Payment, may get done or may not be.
So, to realise such income for a particular period, we run revenue-recognition (VF44). In VKOA, we maintain "Provisional Account" for such income.
Once invoiced, Accrued income G/L gets debited and Customer G/L gets credited.

Just search the forum with the text "Down Payment" so that you will get lot of documentation on this topic. Take the inputs and try on your own.

Revenue Recognition in Russia

Hi,
we are rolling out our global SAP solution for Russia and I would like some valuable inputs from SAP Gurus to my query.
My query is regarding revenue recognition in Russia. According to local GAAP, unless a signed copy of the TORG-12 (Act of acceptance of the transfer of goods) is received from the customer, it cannot be considered as revenue for accounting purposes in Russia, whereas for US GAAP purposes revenue can be recognized once the goods have been delivered.
US GAAP is the leading ledger and Russian GAAP is the non leading ledger but it is not possible to release billing to accounting for the leading ledger only.
Another point to note is that Russian accounting is based on actuals and no accruals can be posted for revenues.
Pls. can someone provide me some insight as to how these two requirements were handled together in their projects within SAP.
We are on SAP ECC version 6 ehp4.
Thanks in advance for all your help.

Nitin

Revenue recognition - deferred revenue

Hi Experts,
We want to recognize some of our revenues other than the billing date.
Some of our sales are by sea and using CIF incoterms, so if the goods was sent during the last days of the accounting period, we can not recognize it in the FI reports till the goods arrived it's destination.
So I want to do the PGI and the billing today and credit the deferred revenue account instead of the revenue account.
I saw the SPRO regards it.
1. What are the specific setting I have to use in "spro, sales and distribution, basic function, account assignment/costing, revenue recognition, set revenue recognition for item category" for this case? (time related/service related/billing related...etc)
2. Can I use regular sales order, delivery, PGI, billing document or do I have to use contract or something else?
3. Can the trigger be the incoterms/destination country instead of the item category?
Thanks
Ifer

Symptom
After you implement Note 1239165, the source code prerequisites for connecting the accruals account determination to the incompletion log in the standard system are met. This note describes the Customizing settings that you have to make to use the functions described in Note 1239165.
Other terms
Standard revenue realization, Customizing, incompletion, KONV, SAKN1, SAKN2, ZZ_RR_TVUVF, RV_INVOICE_ACCOUNT_DETERM, RR_ACCOUNT_MISS_DEF, RR_ACCOUNT_MISS_UNB, TVUVF, SAKUR, TVRRUR
Reason and Prerequisites
The Customizing settings are required to use an error group in revenue realization to specify the incompletion and to prevent the system creating subsequent documents.
Solution
Make the following settings:
1. Create the following procedures in Customizing:
Sales and Distribution -> Basic Functions -> Log of Incomplete Items -> Define Incompleteness Procedures -> Incompletion Group B (Sales - Item) -> Procedures ->
-> RR (text RevRec item). Save your entry.
2. For the accruals account, create the following status group:
Sales and Distribution -> Basic Functions -> Log of Incomplete Items -> Define Status Groups
-> Status grp General Delivery Billing doc. Price Goods movement
   RR        X        X         X             X
Additional information: The revenue accounts are assigned to the status group 00 through the error group "MP". This status group permits subsequent documents to be created.
3. It is not necessary to assign the incompletion procedure RR to the item category that is relevant for revenue recognition. In the case of item categories that are relevant for account determination, by default, the system uses the error group "MP" for the revenue accounts and the error group "RR" for the accruals accounts.
4. Create the report ZZ_RR_TVUVF to execute the entries required to check the fields and to assign the status groups. The report enters the required entries in the tables and in TVUVF. If these already exist, the system issues an error message.
The following check fields and status groups are entered:
Table     Field name Description   Screen Status Warning Rank
KONV SAKN2    accruals account          PKON RR
TVRRUR SAKUR    unbilled receivable account       RR

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.

Update the set of item category in IMG

Hi All,
When I am trying to update the set of item category, here is the path that I'm using in the IMG:
Sales and Distribution/Basic Functions/Account Assignment-Costing/Revenue Recognition/Set Revenue Recognition For Item Categories. When I go to the detail to update the item category, even in the change mode, the fields are not available for updates.
Please help me, is this any configuration issue?
Its not even a authorization issue because user has the sap_all and sap_new.
Thanks.

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

hi
820417 - Implementation Guide for Revenue Recognition
779365 - Best Practice document for revenue recognition
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.

Item Category--Revenue Recognition

Dear All,
system is not allowing me to assign revenue recognition field in VOV7 as it is grey field.
As well when I tried through IMG/S&D/Basic Function/Account assignement/Revenue Recognition Item Category-Change mode system is showing grey field for revenue recognition here also.
Please guide on how can I assign here.
Regards,
Sainath

Hi,
In order for this to work, the revenue recognition functionality has to be activated in the system (because of important financial implications and risks, it isn't activated by default).
You need to raise a message to SAP for this.
Please check OSS note 820417.
Best of luck,

Revenue Recognition based on User Status of assigned Sales Order line item

Dear Community members,
We have requirement to recognize / de-recognize revenue posted to WBS for calculation of RA, based on the 'User status' of the assigned Sales Order line item.
To elaborate requirement further -
1) WBS Element - XXX - 10 ( with operative indicator - Plan/Bill/Account Assign)
2) Sales Order(SO) Line Items assigned to the above WBS -
- SO No - 123 Line Item 10 - Actual Rev - $ 300 - User Status - EXE (Meaning this work is in progress , partial payment received thus actual revenue for RA at WBS is 'Zero'
- SO No - 124 Line Item 20 - Actual Rev - $ 400 - User Status - COMPL(Meaning this work is Complete , all payment received thus actual revenue for RA at WBS is $400
- SO No - 125 Line Item 10 - Actual Rev - $ 800 - User Status - EXE (Meaning this work is in progress , partial payment received thus actual revenue for RA at WBS is 'Zero'
As per WBS reports Actual Revenue posted to WBS XXX-10 is $ 1500 ( $300$400$800) , however since two SO line items ( SO 123 /line item 10 and SO 125 / line Item 10 ) are NOT having User status 'COMPLETE', the actual revenue posted by those line items $ 1100/- ($300 + 800) should not be included as Actual Revenue for RA at WBS level.
Thus Actual Revenue for RA at WBS XXX-10 should be $ 400 /- ( the revenue posted by SO 124/line item 20 which has user status as 'COMPLETE')
How do above can be achieved?? Is there any standard solution for this?? Is any SAP Note available for this (I too am looking for one but not found any ) ?? do we need any enhancement , Customer exit etc
Thanks in advance
with regards

Hi,
Thanks. You are right that the 'Completed Contract Method' would defer revenue recognition. However, the status checked would be of the RA object (WBS Element in this case, as RA key is on WBS and RA is being calculated on the WBS).
However, our requirement is to check the user status of the Sales Order Line items assigned to the WBS element and filter the revenues posted based on the active user status of individual Sales Order Line item.
Please give you inputs.
Thanks in advance

Revenue Recognition Category after Credit memo request generation via BAPI

Hi all,
I have used the BAPi " SD_SALESDOCUMENT_CREATE" to generate Credit Memo Request. After the generaion of the credit memo request the Revenue Recognition Catrgory [ "RR_RELTYP"(Data Element) ] is not determined. Can anyone let me know what are all to be filled to this BAPI for this field to get populated.

Hello Mr. Shiva Ram,
First of all thanks a lot for your help.The problem of credit memo is now solved but to resolve the status of the existing sales order documents as per your suggestion we have run the program SDVBUK00 in SA38.Still we didn't get the desired result as the status of the completed normal sales orders are still showing "Being Processed" even after running the program.
Please suggest what else need to be done to change the status of the completed sales documents till invoice.

Return of Free goods item - Problem in item category

I am trying to create return order of Free sample billing
(ZFDP). The return order type for the free sample is ZFDR.
We have specified Item category for the ZFDR is RENN (Free good item) in IMG Activity -> Assign Item categories.
When I create order and save it, it prompts me to enter G/L Account.
This material is free. It should not prompt G/L Account for it. There is no revenue recognition specified for the item category. I tried changing item category to ZKLN i.e Free of charge item. This item category does not prompt for G/L Account while creating order. but I can not use this item category because it prompts me for Avialability. I can not remove the Avaialabilty check for it because the same item category is used in the Free sample order where availability check is required
In ZFDP order type, we are issuing 100% discount by using R100
discount condition. Please let me know how can I solve this problem.
I think there is some problem in my item category itself. .
My setting for Item category in IMG - Define item category is
same for both ZKLN and RENN. Only difference is RENN has returns
tick and pricing field is blank. In ZKLN pricing is defined as B- 100%
discount. I also tried changing the pricing option of RENN to B.
But still it is asking for G/L Account.
I can not use ZKLN instead of RENN because my ZKLN is used in the
Free item Sales order.
Please help.

Hi
I got answer to my query. YOu need to specify the bill type while defining sales document type. This bill type should not have account assignment mentioned in it.
I changed the bill type, which does not have Account assignment procedure attached to it.
It has solved my problem
