Definition

Key that specifies the basis on which the actual costs are valuated in results analysis or WIP calculation.

Use

With the valuation methods in the standard system, which are independent of the valuation methods (simplfied Customizing), the system normally uses the following values:

  • With status "REL" it accesses the planned costs, actual costs, or planned revenue, whichever is greatest.
  • With status "FNBL" it accesses the planned costs, actual costs, or actual revenues, whichever is greatest.

With status "TECO" it accesses the actual costs and the actual revenue

You can specify a different valuation basis for each status of results analysis. This enables you to account for the progress of the undertaking and the values available. For example:

  • At the beginning of the project, the planning data normally forms the basis for the valuation.
  • When the last invoices are made (status "final billing"), the planned revenues no longer have any significance for valuation; you can replace them with the actual revenue by choosing a corresponding valuation basis for this status.
  • Upon technical completion, the planned costs no longer have any significance for valuation; you can replace them with the actual costs by choosing a corresponding valuation basis for this status.

Procedure

The following valuation bases are available:

  • For the status released, the planned revenues normally are used as the basis for results analysis. Different assumptions for determining the costs are available:
    • Planned costs, planned revenues (O)
      • In the profit basis, you specify what values are interpreted as planned costs in this context.
    • Maximum of planned costs and profit percentage in the table, planned revenues (M)
      • You can specify a profit percentage in the valuation method. Results analysis calculates a profit percentage using the planned costs and planned revenues. The higher amount is used in results analysis.
    • Maximum of planned costs and actual costs, planned revenues (Q)
      • The planned costs are used in results analysis until the actual costs up to the results analysis period exceed the planned costs. From this point onwards, the actual costs replace the planned costs.
    • Maximum of planned costs and cumulative actual costs, planned revenues (S)
      • The planned costs are used in results analysis until the actual costs up to the day of results analysis exceed the planned costs. From this point onwards, the actual costs replace the planned costs.
    • Maximum of planned costs and cumulative actual costs, maximum of planned revenues and cumulative actual revenues (T)
      • The actual revenue up to the day of results analysis replaces the planned revenue if the actual revenue exceeds the planned revenue.
  • For the status final billing, the actual revenue normally replaces the planned revenue in results analysis.
    • Maximum of planned costs and actual costs, actual revenues (P)
      • The planned costs are used in results analysis until the actual costs up to the results analysis period exceed the planned costs. From this point onwards, the actual costs replace the planned costs.
    • Maximum of planned costs and cumulative actual costs, cumulative actual revenues (R)
      • The planned costs are used in results analysis until the actual costs up to the day of results analysis exceed the planned costs. From this point onwards, the actual costs replace the planned costs.
  • For the status technically completed, the actual values are usually updated and settled as results analysis values. At this point there is no work in process and no reserves.
    • Actual costs, actual revenues (I)
      • The actual costs and the actual revenues up to the results analysis period are updated.
    • Cumulative actual costs, cumulative actual revenues (J)
      • The actual costs and actual revenues up to the day of results analysis are updated.

Examples

For revenue-based results analysis, you can define the following valuation bases for each system status:

With status    the system uses this valuation basis

Released    Planned revenues, planned costs

Final billing    Actual revenues, maximum of planned costs

    and actual costs

Technically completed    Actual revenues, actual costs

Dependencies

A customer-specific function can be added to the valuation bases provided in the standard system.
