Use
In this activity you can activate functions and make settings for controlling Sales and Distribution functions.
Revenue Recognition
- You can use these settings to control revenue recognition in your company so that you can best fulfill the requirements stipulated by the IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards) and US-GAAP (US General Accepted Accounting Principles).
- The revenue recognition functions have a large impact on how revenues are deferred and posted. To ensure that the system is stable and is configured correctly, SAP offers a free service for checking your revenue recognition settings. For details about booking this service, see the SAP Note 820417.
Requirements
Standard settings
There is no additional authorization check in the standard system. As long as you do not create an implementation, every user who has authorization for changing Customizing settings can make settings for revenue recognition.
So that only a restricted user group can execute this activity, the BAdI for Activating Functions BADI_SD_FUNCTION_ACTIVATION runs authorization checks. That way you can prevent users from changing or adding activation information.
Activities
When you start the activity, you can activate the following functions:
- Decide if you want to enable Customizing for revenue recognition.
- This setting influences the item category setting for the revenue recognition process.
- This setting replaces using a SET/GET parameter. If it has already been activated using the parameter, the system automatically sets the activation indicator to active.
For more information, see the documentation Enable Customizing for Revenue Recognition.
- Decide if you want the system to compress accounting documents that are created in revenue recognition. Compression takes place according to the summarization logic in Financial Accounting.
Your financial accounting manager should approve the document compression and, if necessary, your external auditor should also check it.
For more information, see the documentation Activate Revenue Compression.
- If you have activated a function, you can make additional settings in the next steps:
- Revenue Recognition:
You can control special processes for company codes: - Activate FASB Solution
Activate Sales Document Update - Billing
- You can activate the Cost Update for company codes, for example.
