Documentation
Definition
Determines how commitments and down payments are handled in results analysis.
Use
With a commitment, it is assumed that actual costs will not be incurred until a later point in time. For this reason, you may wish to treat these commitments as actual costs in results analysis.
In the balance sheet, down payments are shown separately from the receivables because no services have been rendered even though a payment has been posted. In results analysis, this down payment can be shown as actual revenue.
The commitment or down payment can be assigned to a separate line ID with the Fixed/Variable indicator in the assignment.
The following options are available:
- ' ' - Do Not Include Commitments or Down Payments
- A - Commitments for PReq/PO/Reservation As Actual Costs
- B - Commitments for PReq/PO/Reservation/Manual As Actual Costs
- C - Down Payments As Actual Revenues
- D - Commitment from Purchase Order As Actual Costs
- E - Credit-Side Results Analysis Costs As Actual Costs
- F - Manual Commitments
- G - Down Payments: Reduction Rev. Excess of Billings, DP Surplus
These options are self-explanatory except for option G which is explained below.
How Option G Works
Two new results analysis categories are calculated and updated: RRDP (reduction in revenue in excess of billings by down payments) and DNPS (down payment surplus). The reduction in the revenue in excess of billings by down payments contains the amount of the down payment up to the amount of the revenue in excess of billings. That portion of the down payment that exceeds the revenue in excess of billings is updated as a down payment surplus.
Observe or maintain the following in Customizing for results analysis:
- In the maintenanace of the results analysis version, specify a cost element for the reduction in the revenue in excess of billings by down payments and another cost element for the down payment surplus.
- In the assignment, the Variable/Fixed indicator A can be used together with the cost element to assign the down payments to a line ID.
- In the update, assign the line ID that carries the down payments to category F.
- In the posting rule, the two results analysis categories RRDP and DNPS are available for transfer to Financial Accounting.
Procedure
Examples
Dependencies
Commitments management is activated through the controlling area. For orders, you must also activate commitments management through the order type. Funds reservations can be entered manually for orders and projects independently of this setting.
For sales orders, you can create commitments only for the objects assigned to the sales order item. You cannot create a commitment for the sales order itself.
