Definition

Together with the results analysis type, this specifies what method is used to carry out results analysis.

There are a number of different results analysis methods:

  • Automatic determination of the cost of sales using the actual revenue (invoices), the actual quantity (delivery quantity), or the earned value
  • Automatic determination of a calculated revenue using the actual costs
  • Determination of the cost of sales through the expense
  • Determination of the cost of sales in the case of actual revenue

These methods can be further differentiated through the profit indicator.

Use

  • Automatic determination of the cost of sales
    • In connection with results analysis type "E" (revenue-based):
      • With Profit Realization (M) means that the calculated costs are determined by the ratio of the planned costs to the planned revenue, or by the profit percentage specified in the valuation method. If necessary, the system creates capitalized profit.
      No Profit Realization (O) means that results analysis is performed as if the planned costs were equal to the planned revenues. The calculated costs are therefore equal to the accrued revenues.
      Profit Realization if Actual Revenue Is Greater Than Planned Costs (E) means that as long as the actual revenue is less than the planned costs, the system works without profit realization. The calculated costs are made equal to the actual revenue. If the actual revenue is greater than the planned costs, the calculated costs are made equal to the planned costs.
    • In connection with results analysis type "M" (quantity-based)
      • Profit Realization if Actual Quantity (N) means that the system creates cost of sales if a delivery or invoice is entered.
  • Automatic determination of calculated revenue (POC Method)
    • Percentage-of-Completion (Q)
      • The percentage of completion (actual costs incurred to date divided by the planned costs) determines the calculated revenues and the profit that is to be realized in the period. The inventory from which revenue can be generated (including the capitalized profit) is capitalized.
    • Completed-Contract (C)
      • Until the project is completed, all revenues are updated as results reserve, and all costs are updated as work in process.
    • Percentage-of-Completion with Cost of Sales (P)
      • Represents a combination of two methods: the revenue-based method with profit realization and the POC Method. This method is used mainly when you want to use the method With Profit Realization (profit indicator M) but also want to transfer the figures for the inventory and reserves into Financial Accounting according to the POC method (profit indicator Q).
    • Percentage-of-Completion with Profit Realization According to Revenue Planning (R)
      • If the revenue is planned according to period, the calculated revenue is made equal to the planned revenue up to the results analysis period. The calculated costs are determined by multiplying the calculated revenue by the ratio of the planned costs to the planned revenues.
  • Determination of the cost of sales by means of the revenue
    • Enter Cost of Sales Manually (K) means that you can enter the cost of sales manually or transfer it from resource-related billing in the SD module. Results analysis calculates stocks and reserves but not the cost of sales.
    • Cost of Sales According to Statistical Key Figure (T) means that you can enter the expense as a statistical key figure if you are using internal orders or projects without the SD module.
    • Cost of Sales if Period of Actual Revenue Is Changed (L) simulates resource-related billing. The system creates capitalized costs for costs that are incurred in periods in which no revenue is posted. The system creates cost of sales for costs that are incurred in periods in which revenue is posted.
  • Determination of the cost of sales with actual profit
    • Cost of Sales if Actual Revenue Is Not Zero (J)
      • If no revenue has been posted, the work in process is equal to the actual costs. As soon as revenue is posted, this work in process is canceled and the cost of sales becomes the amount of the actual costs.
    • Cost of Sales = Planned Costs if Actual Revenue Is Not Zero (I)
      • If no revenue has been posted, the work in process is equal to the actual costs. As soon as revenue is posted, cost of sales becomes the amount of the planned costs. The cost of sales is compared to the actual costs and the system creates either work in process or reserves for unrealized costs.

Dependencies

If you enter the cost of sales manually, you can use the "cost of sales" indicator to specify how this data is handled in results analysis.

  • If you choose "Y", the cost of sales is apportioned to the line IDs in accordance with the update rules.
  • If you choose "P", the cost of sales is apportioned to the line IDs in accordance with the apportionment of the planned costs.
