Transfer condition values with +/- signs to CO-PA

Transfer condition values with +/- signs to CO-PA

+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+

The "Transfer +/- sign" indicator should ONLY
be used in rare instances!

+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+

The "Transfer +/- sign" indicator should be used selectively for those individual condition types that

1. can have both negative and positive values (This is especially the case with condition types that can represent a revenue surcharge or a revenue reduction.)

2. occur more than once in a billing document and produce both debit postings and credit postings (This is the case when reserves are created or resolved, as described in OSS note 37114.)

If you select the "Transfer +/- sign" indicator, the system calculates a balance of the positive and negative values for that condition type. This ensures that the correct total for that condition type is shown in the corresponding value field.

Note that this indicator cannot be used to reconcile the sign handling in Financial Accounting (FI) or Sales and Distribution (SD) and Profitability Analysis (CO-PA). Selecting it will not cause signs for sales revenues, sales deductions, and costs to be handled the same way in CO-PA and either SD or FI.

The following table shows an overview of how condition values are updated in CO-PA for billing documents from SD:

Billing document (normal) "With +/- sign" "Without +/- sign"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Debit posting                        negative               positive
(such as sales deductions)

Credit posting                       positive               positive
(such as sales revenues)

Credit memo/return       "With +/- sign" "Without +/- sign"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Debit posting                     negative                  negative
(such as sales revenues)

Credit posting                   positive                  negative
(such as sales deductions)

costing-based Profitability Analysis & account-based Profitability Analysis

Definition: costing-based Profitability Analysis

Costing-based Profitability Analysis represents costs, revenues, and revenue deductions for internal controlling purposes. The direct costs are collected from the relevant material cost estimate for the product sold. All values are stored in value fields.

Two types of Profitability Analysis are supported in the R/3 System:


costing-based
account-based
Costing-based Profitability Analysis represents costs, revenues and revenue deductions for internal controlling purposes using costing principles. All the values are stored in value fields.

==========

Definition: account-based Profitability Analysis

Account-based profitability analysis reconciles the data between Financial Accounting and Controlling, since all costs and revenues are stored in accounts.

COPA - characteristic derivation for product group from the material number

Scenarios:

We need to define a characteristic derivation for product group from the material number.

Steps:

V/76 - Define Product Hierarchy

MM02 - update the Product Hierarchy in the material master

The Product Hierarchy (PH): 001000010500000115. MARA-PRDHA

Product Category: 00100 - First 5 characters in PH

Product group: 00105 - next 5 characters after Product Category

KEDR - Define Characteristic Derivation

KES1 - Go to this transaction code to maintain the value for user defined characteristics

KE21 - Test the derivation works:

 Enter

Update the Company code and Enter
