Hello
Profitability Analysis (CO-PA) enables you to evaluate market segments, which can be classified according to products, customers, orders or any combination of these, or strategic business units, such as sales organizations or business areas, with respect to your company's profit or contribution margin.
The aim of the system is to provide your sales, marketing, product management and corporate planning departments with information to support internal accounting and decision‑making.
Two forms of Profitability Analysis are supported: costing-based and account-based.
· Costing-based Profitability Analysis is the form of profitability analysis that groups costs and revenues according to value fields and costing-based valuation approaches, both of which you can define yourself. It guarantees you access at all times to a complete, short-term profitability report.
· Account-based Profitability Analysis is a form of profitability analysis organized in accounts and using an account-based valuation approach. The distinguishing characteristic of this form is its use of cost and revenue elements. It provides you with a profitability report that is permanently reconciled with financial accounting.
You can also use both of these types of CO‑PA simultaneously.

What the difference between u0093Valuate GL Account Open Itemsu0094 and u0093Valuate G/

hi gurus
What the difference between Valuate GL Account Open Items and Valuate G/L Account Balances?
We found out that when we perform valuate GL account Open items there will be reversal done at the same time whereas when we perform Valuate G/L Account Balances there is NO reversal posting even though we hv entered the reversal posting date and Period.
Pls advise which one we should perform?

Valuate GL Account Open Items are for open item managed accounts including vendor/customer accounts. The valuation is performed for each (open) line items on key date specified.
"Valuate GL Balance" is for account NOT managed on Open Item basis but managed in foreign currency. The period balance of key date in foreign currency is valuated. Reversal document can be created by selecting 'Reverse postings' in "Postings" tab.

What is the difference between PO Charge Account and PO Accrue Account ?

Hi
On Requistion's Distribution screen , there is a A/c codes exists : PO Charge , Accrue, Budget & Variance .
Can anyone explain me the exact purpose of the same and what is the difference between PO Charge Account and PO Accrue Account ?
regards
Thanks
SD

Hi Sanjay,
Here is the OA help (11i) :
Entering Purchase Order Distributions:
6. Enter the purchasing accounts. When you save your changes in this window, Purchasing uses the Account Generator to automatically create the following accounts for each distribution:
Charge: the account to charge for the cost of this item in the purchasing operating unit
Accrual: the AP accrual account in the purchasing operating unit
Variance: the invoice price variance account in the purchasing operating unit
Destination Charge: the account to charge for the cost of this item in the destination operating unit
Destination Variance: the invoice price variance account in the destination operating unit
Note: The last two accounts are created only if the receiving destination operating unit is different than the purchasing operating unit and there is a transaction flow defined between the two organizations.
If you are using encumbrance control, Purchasing also creates the following account for each distribution:
Budget: the encumbrance budget account
The Account Generator creates these accounts based on predefined rules. See: Using the Account Generator in Oracle Purchasing.Hope it helps

What is the difference between Recon. Account and Alternative Recon. Accoun

hi
any body please tell me . What is the difference between Recon. Account and Alternative Recon. Account.

Hello sairama,
Reconciliation account- For each subledger account , you must keep at least one reconciliation account in the general ledger. When you post to an account in the subledger, the system automatically posts to the corresponding reconciliation account. The "Receivables from goods and services" account is an example of a reconciliation account for customers. Enter Customer in the Reconciliation account for account type field. Enter a Vendor in this field for a vendor reconciliation account. Using the reconciliation account procedure, it is possible to create a balance sheet and a profit and loss statement at any time, since the amounts posted to subledger accounts are also posted automatically in the general ledger.
During regular reconciliation, you check whether the balance of the reconciliation account matches the balance of the corresponding subledger account.
You define reconciliation accounts by specifying in the G/L account master record the account type (such as fixed assets, vendor or customer) for which the account is to be used. In this way, the account can only be assigned to accounts in the corresponding subledger. You set the assignment of the subledger account to a reconciliation account in the master record of the subledger account. You cannot post to reconciliation accounts manually .
============================================================
Alternative Reconciliation account- Special G/L transactions are identified by a special G/L indicator. The system uses the specifications (posting key and special G/L indicator) to determine the alternative reconciliation account.
When you post a special G/L transaction, the system does not post to the normal reconciliation accounts but instead automatically to alternative accounts, that is, special G/L accounts. Consequently, you do not transfer the balances of these accounts either. Instead, the system posts to the appropriate accounts automatically when the open items are transferred.
Hope I had been able to help you. Please assign points.

What is the difference between Projects Auto-Accounting and Receivables Aut

Hi Experts,
Can somebody explain me the difference between Auto-Accounting in Oracle Projects and Auto-Accounting in Oracle Receivables?
Thanks

Hi
Those are two separate accounting engines, one for Projects accounting transactions and the second for AR accounting entries. They share ONLY the term - Auto Accounting.
Projects AA has a very rich functionality and flexibility. AR AA is comparably more rigid.
The AA in Projects allow you to distribute costs, revenue and invoices. Project draft invoices are interfaced to AR with the accounting determined by Projects AA.
AA in AR generates the accounting for invoices generated in receivables, and for other entities like receipts and adjustments.

What is the difference between the object&realationship.

1.what is the difference between the object&realationship.

What is the difference between "cost object" and
"cost center"? Please see the context below. It says
that cost object and cost center are not the same.
Cost objects :
The units of output resulting from the value-added process with which costs are identified according to how they are incurred.
Cost objects can be independent entities (called cost object IDs), or they can represent other entities (such as orders or projects).
The functions of preliminary costing, simultaneous costing, and final costing can be performed on cost objects.
The following cost objects can be used in the SAP System:
Product cost collectors
Production orders
Process orders
Cost object IDs
Sales order items
Cost center is an controlling object and Cost object is also one of the controlling objects. Other controlling objects are
Cost centers (for account assignment of costs)
· Orders
· Projects
· Networks
· Make-to-order sales orders
· Cost objects
· Profitability segments
· Real Estate Objects
· Business Processes
Primary costs are transferred from external
accounting and classified according to managerial
accounting perspectives. If the primary costs are
direct costs, then they are assigned to cost objects.
Need not be. They can be assigned to any of the controlling obejcts. Generally for primay costs we use Cost center as the controlling object. we can also use IO in which case u have to resort to peridic or full settlement. Apart from Cost center other objects require either periodic or full settlement of the cost collected.> If they are overhead costs, then they are assigned to
cost centers or overhead cost orders. The system then
allocates them using internal allocation techniques,
according to their source
Cost centers or other objects collects theprimary costs and then can be allocated to other objects based on the sender receiver relationship u define.

What is the Difference between these Two?

In Oracle University site i saw 2 Courses for Oracle Webcenter sites. Just i would like to know the difference between these two. Based on your input i can decide which one to take.

Is the 1st one is Fatwire and the 2nd one is Fatwire+Oracle latest implmentation ? Is my understanding is right?

It's the same lens, just different sellers. The higher one is the MSRP, or close to it. But since they use this lens in a kit it goes for less. I have no idea who Celltime Inc is, but it's fullfilled by Amazon, so I'd feel reasonably safe. Just look into their return policy.
With the recent release of the 6D and somewhat recent 5d3, the market is flooded with these lenses from kits; I wouldn't pay more than 800 something for it. Getting it through Amazon is a bonus over eBay. If the seller checks out I'd go for it.
Edit: DH beat me to it.

Whats the differene between a standard account and an administrator account

Can someone explain to me the difference between these two accounts please. Also I wonder if theres a way to stop the guest account deleting files on exit.

Admin accounts can install and remove applications, Standard accounts can not. The Guest account is designed to delete files on exit, that is because it is a Guest account.
You MUST have at least one Admin account.

Difference between cost of sales & sales revenue

What is the difference between cost of sales & sales revenue ?
Does it get stored in SD cubes or GL cubes ?
Regards

Sales Revenue is the total sales amount. Cost of Sales, also referred to as Cost of Goods Sol, are the costs associated with building product (e.g. raw materials, labour, etc in the case of a manufacturer).
These figures are going to be in the General Ledger, or some companies do this in Profit Center Accounting (PCA).

Difference between cost component structure and cost component split

can anyone explain me the difference between cost component structure and cost component split with simple example
thanks
santosh

Hi ,
cost component structure
Definition
Number that identifies the structure.
Use
In Product Cost Controlling, the cost component structure determines how the results of material costing are updated. The cost component structure groups the costs for each material according to cost component (such as material costs, internal activities, external activities, and overhead). If the material is used in the production of another material, the cost component split (which breaks down the costs according to material costs, internal activities, external activities, overhead, and so forth) remains in the system when the costs are rolled up.
In the cost component split, you also define the following for material costing:
Which part of the costs are fixed costs
Which costs are
cost of goods manufactured and what are sales and administration costs
Which costs are relevant for stock valuation, commercial inventory valuation and tax inventory valuation
When the cost component structure is assigned to the organizational units, you can specify that two cost component splits are created:
Main cost component split
This is the principal cost component split, meaning that it is used in the standard cost estimate, which can be used to update the material master. The main cost component split can be a cost component split for cost of goods manufactured or a primary cost component split.
Auxiliary cost component split
This can exist in addition to the main cost component split, and is not used in the standard cost estimate. It can be used for analysis purposes, in that it can be displayed with the cost estimate and passed on to Profitability Analysis.
In Cost Center Accounting, the cost component structure determines how the results of the activity price calculation are updated. The cost component structure groups the costs for each activity type of the cost center according to components (such as material costs and labor costs). If an internal activity allocation is carried out, the cost component split (which breaks down the costs according to material, labor costs, and so forth) is retained at cost rollup.
If the cost component split is not to be retained, you can create a switching structure for the cost component structure for Cost Center Accounting. In the switching structure, you specify which sender cost component goes into which receiver cost component.
<b>require a cost component structure to calculate prices using cost component split.</b>
For each cost component structure you define a component such as energy, personnel, or raw materials. The components combine all costs occuring for a particular cost element area. In this way, you ensure greater cost transparency in activity price calculation when putting together the activity type prices - for example, it becomes easier to find how much of the activity price is taken up by the material costs.
In activity allocation, the cost component structure remains constant, meaning that the receiver takes on the sender cost elements and that the allocated costs are posted in the same cost components in the receiver as in the sender.
A cost component structure can have a maximum of 40 defined cost components.
Cost components are assigned to cost elements. You thereby determine which cost elements go to which rows in the structure, and how these components are updated in price calculation.
Hope ths helps
Please rewad points
Sunil
