Definition

Designation of the results analysis method.

The results analysis method determines how the following results analysis data are calculated during the period closing process in Product Cost by Sales Order:

For detailed information on results analysis methods including examples, see the documentation Controlling -> Cost Object Controlling -> Product Cost by Sales Order -> Period-End Closing

Use

You choose a results analysis method in the following situations in Product Cost by Sales Order:

  • When you are using a valuated sales order stock and want to capitalize goods that have been delivered but not yet invoiced
  • When you are using a valuated sales order stock and want to create reserves automatically
  • When you always use a nonvaluated sales order stock, because in this case you can only valuate your inventories of finished and unfinished goods by means of results analysis

You choose a results analysis method to calculate your revenue in excess of billings when you want to capitalize profits that have not been realized. These methods are used chiefly in Britain and North America, although if needed for internal purposes they can also used in parallel with conventional valuation methods.

If you don't want to capitalize unrealized profits, choose a results analysis method to calculate the capitalized costs.

Procedure

Choose one of the results analysis methods in Simplified Customizing for the valuation method.

Dependencies

To calculate the inventory values and automatically create reserves, carry out results analysis in the period-closing process of the Product Cost by Sales Order component.

To capitalize your inventories and show your reserves as a liability in Financial Accounting, and also to pass results analysis data to Profitability Analysis and Profit Center Accounting, start settlement in the period closing process.
