1. Cost Accounting and account-based Profit Analysis and Comparison

CO-PA module has two kinds of profit analysis, based on account and cost-based profit analysis, the relationship between the two and the difference, what are the advantages and disadvantages?

A.Costing-base uses value field, which can correspond to cost/revenue cost elements, MM | SD condition types, or product cost components, while accounting-based uses cost elements.

B. in terms of mappings, a value field of costing-base can correspond to one to multiple subjects (cost factors ), accounting-based is, of course, a cost element that corresponds to a one-profit/loss account of Fi.

C. cost and income in cost-based profit analysis are stored in detail based on the marginal contribution structure, which usually corresponds to the detailed cost component in the production cost accounting, for example, you can use the PA value field to correspond to the tcode: oktz-defined cost components one by one, while the account-based (cost element) one of the main purposes of the profit analysis is to ensure that the profit analysis is consistent with the financial accounting at the account level. The system bills all revenue and costs simultaneously into the financial accounting and Profit Analysis System Based on the value base of financial accounting.

D. costing-based is more flexible. enterprises generally adopt two types of profit analysis at the same time. If so, account-based profit analysis serves as a bridge between financial accounting data and cost-based profit analysis data reconciliation.

You can switch between the two in a profit analysis or definition report,

E. the advantage of account-based profit analysis is that data is stored by account in the financial accounting, management, and profit analysis modules, this allows you to define a unified classification structure for all values within the financial system. Account-based profit analysis allows you to reflect profits by account, in this way, the data is consistent with that of financial accounting at all stages of cost accounting and settlement.

F. Data Storage

Costing-based: CE1 ***** CE2 ***** (in which ***** indicates the business scope of the highest supported PA Organization Unit)

Acount-based: COEP coej. If you are proficient in CO, you will know that COEP is the CO credential line project table.

For example, the default cost object of the sales cost during the sales delivery may be defined in tcode: okb9

For profit analysis segment, but at this time, the CE1 * Table of the CO-PA, that is, no PA creden, only produce a CO creden for the PSG object, the sales cost is usually transferred to PA along with the sales revenue when billing is made. Many people may not understand this.

2. disadvantages of costing-based

The disadvantages of costing-based are as follows:

Costing-based CO-PADisadvantage analysis:

I.Time Difference

An instance is a sales order, such as delivery but not timely biling, and sales costs only when billing and sales revenue are transferred to the CO-PA, at this time cogs post to FI, but the CO-PA does not have cogs, according to the income cost matching principle, within a period of time may require income cost matching, but if the period query profit analysis report, because of the time difference, FI cogs and PA cogs do not match.

II.Accrued issues

For example, when transferring a sales order to a CO-PA, some billable items are transferred to the CO-PA module through so's condition, which has this part of the data, but from the financial point of view, this cost does not occur, so this data does not exist in the fi.

III.Exchange rate difference during currency conversion

In particular, when a multinational group involves multiple currencies, the conversion inevitably produces exchange rate differences.

IV.Sales cost, sales cost difference, standard cost parts and actual cost parts

If the material account is enabled, the fi sales cost subject, PA sales cost value field, and ml unit sales cost (cycle unit price) may be inconsistent. The specific reason is not discussed here, the settlement differences of tickets and the actual cost accounting of ML are not good.

How to switch between costing_based and accounting_based Profit Analysis

If both are used, you can use Keba | kebd to switch between the two. In this case, the profits of ke24 and ke25 are actually the same. | the screens of Project Analysis on the planning line will be different, you can use ke3k to define the cost element group for profit analysis for accounting_based analysis.

 

3. SD Condition Type invoicing time cannot be transferred to CO-PA

Based on the cost accounting of the CO-PA, the sales pricing set a freight condition type, corresponding to the cost element category is 1 of the expense class, the sales invoice prompt"Ki 1, 183The profitability segment of the primary cost element is ineffective for cost-based CO-PA"Error. After oba5 closes the message, it will issue an invoice but there will be no shipping data.

Solution:

Do not always think about enhancement, simple processingCost factorsType 1 changed to 11Income ElementsWhat is the significance of the 01/11-name number? There is a "Seven-Star" hotel in Beijing. Should it be a seven-star hotel? I have another friend, Li Fugui, who seems to be neither a rich nor a noble man so far. I have never been worse than me. I am so good at killing pigs and eating meat.

4. Why is there no data for service sales orders to CO-PA When SD invoicing

Ordinary and service-type sales orders use the same type of income conditions. The former records the data such as income cost to the value during billing, but the service-type sales order does not.

Cause:

A common sales order directly transmits the relevant feature and Value Field content to the CO-PA when invoicing: while a sales order or service-type sales order under the MTO method is treated as a cost object (cost object ), when invoicing, you may not generate PA data, but wait until the cost object is settled to get the gross sample and then transfer it to the profit analysis.

5. How cost center fees are distributed to CO-PA

One or two simple changes with kb11n with profit analysis can be used. The complex change uses dedicated Pa to allocate tcode: keu5 (keu1 creates a loop)

For non-cost center fees, the CO-PA also has a dedicated regular adjustment tcode: ke27/ke28. 6. Unified problem during the merger: The fiscal year of an overseas company A in the group is from January 1, April 1 to January 1, March 31, and the fiscal year of B is from January 1, January 1 to January 1, December 31. How can we achieve report consolidation? Someone asked me this question.
A: When will I learn more about Zhao Benshan?
I have seen these indirect periods: (from to of the following year), (from to of the following year), and The Gregorian year (from to of the following year ), what else do you think is the end of the month on Friday after the week of every month? During some abnormal periods, they are all about by foreign companies.
The accounting statements always reflect the financial status of a certain date and the business results of a certain period of accounting, the individual accounting statements of the parent company and its subsidiaries can be consolidated only when the dates of the financial status are consistent with those of the accounting periods that reflect the operating results. In order to prepare the consolidated accounting report, the accounting statement and accounting period of the subsidiary must be consistent, and the accounting statement and accounting period of each enterprise in the enterprise group must be unified, so that the subsidiary can provide accounting reports of the same date and accounting period.
For foreign subsidiaries, the local legal restrictions cannot be consistent with the accounting statement of the parent company and the accounting period, it may be required to separately prepare consolidated accounting reports for individual accounting reports that are consistent with the parent company's accounting statement final date and accounting period.
Or, like a foreign company in China, it uses the accounting period of the parent company (e.g., 445 ), prepare a set of reports based on the year of the Gregorian calendar (and make some adjustments to the previous report ).
