Documentation

Definition

With this indicator you activate cost recognition in revenue recognition. Revenues can be correctly posted at the same time as their prorated costs.

Use

Activation and deactivation are only relevant for the Revenue Recognition application.

  • The system processes the costs the same way as the revenues.
    The costs are mapped in the system with the conditions of condition type G and usually with the VPRS cost.
  • The system updates control lines (VBREVK), reference lines (VBREVR), and cost lines (VBREVE), which must all be consistent.
    • There is only one control line for a statistical cost condition, since it is only relevant for the Profitability Analysis application (CO-PA) and is not account-based.
    • As for revenue lines, there are two control lines with corresponding accounts for accrual-relevant cost conditions. Postings to Financial Accounting must also be made for these costs.
  • Automatic settlement of the costs takes place using the billing documents that must contain the correct cost (VPRS). To ensure this, you must activate the VPRS Cost Update Function and the system must run the update. You activate this function in the Customizing activity Activate SD Functions, in the Billing step.

Before it was possible to control cost recognition using this indicator, the system only took account of the costs in revenue recognition under the following conditions:

  • The SD document item did not have a cost account assignment.
  • The condition was not accrual-relevant.
  • If you activate this function for cost recognition, the costs are only updated at the same time as the revenues for a new revenue recognition process.
  • The costs of old documents are still processed according to the old logic. They are only posted with the revenue lines if they are relevant for revenue recognition.
