Definition
Key that determines how the order is evaluated during period-end closing
Use
The use of the results analysis key is dependent on the type of order.
- For orders with revenue (internal orders, sales orders, and projects), the results analysis key determines how the results analysis is carried out.
A results analysis is useful if:
- You use nonvaluated sales order stock or nonvaluated project stock to evaluate the stocks at the end of the period.
- You use valuated sales order stock or valuated project stock to evaluate goods that have been delivered but not invoiced, as well as to automatically create reserves.
- For orders that do not reference the sales order item or WBS element, the results analysis key determines how the work in process is calculated.
This may be make-to-stock production or mass production on the basis of sales orders. Work in process is determined at the level of the production order, process order, or a product cost collector.
- For capital investment measures, the results analysis key determines how the enabling values are calculated.
Procedure
Examples
Costs may already have been incurred for orders with revenue, even though no revenue has yet been posted. Results analysis enables you to account for these costs as work in process when sales order stock is not valuated. Once the initial revenue has been posted, you can calculate the cost of sales. If the cost of sales determined is higher than the actual costs incurred to date, reserves for unrealized costs are modeled in the amount of the difference.
No revenue is posted in CO for orders that do not reference the sales order item. Each goods receipt for these orders is valuated. The stock of work in process for these orders can be calculated in two ways:
- Work in process at actual costs
The actual costs for production and process orders for which delivery has not yet taken place are accounted for as work in process. Once a partial delivery has taken place, the difference between the debit order from the actual costs and the credit order from the goods receipt postings is accounted for as work in process. Once the order is complete, the work in process is canceled again. The difference between the order debit and credit is then interpreted by the system as a variance.
In general, work in process at actual costs is valuated in Product Cost by Order.
Before work in process at actual costs can be valuated, default rule PP1 (full settlement) must be specified in the order.
- Work in process at target costs
A confirmation is issued for each operation or at specific reporting points. The quantity of work in process is determined using the confirmations. Costs are assigned to this quantity in accordance with the strategy sequence specified in the valuation variant for work in process and scrap.
In Product Cost by Period, work in process is always valuated at target costs.
Before work in process can be valuated at target costs, default rule PP2 (periodic settlement) must be specified in the order.
For more information, see Define Cost-Accounting-Relevant Default Values for Order Types and Plants.
Dependencies
Control parameters for the results analysis, calculating the work in process, and calculating the values to be enabled are selected using the results analysis key in the order as well as a results analysis version. If you have not entered a results analysis key in the order, the order is not included when work in process is calculated during period-end closing.
Control parameters for valuating the work in process in Product Cost by Period are defined in Customizing for Product Cost by Period.
For more information, see Define Valuation Variant for WIP and Scrap (Target Costs).
