Use

Processing According to the Old Method

A sales document item relevant for revenue recognition that has a statistical and not accrual-relevant VPRS condition, is considered in revenue recognition if the item does not have its own cost account assignment.
This is the only case in which costs can be transferred to Financial Accounting when revenue recognition takes place.

  • In all other processes, costs are always posted when the billing document is posted.
  • The system only imports the costs to revenue recognition. There are only cost lines in the revenue recognition table (VBREVE). Control lines (VBREVK) and reference lines (VBREVR) are not updated.

Processing With the New Cost Recognition Function

To use the new cost recognition function, you must first activate it in the IMG activity Activate SD Functions, in the substep Revenue Recognition at the very beginning of the process.

  • If a sales document item that is relevant for recognition has a statistical or accrual-relevant VPRS condition, it is always considered in revenue recognition.
    The costs can be transferred to Financial Accounting when revenue recognition takes place. The system does not post any costs using the billing document.
  • The system processes the costs in revenue recognition in the same manner as it processes the revenues. There are cost lines in the revenue recognition table (VBREVE), control line table (VBREVK), and in the reference line table (VBREVR).
    • Statistical cost lines always have only one control line.
    • Accrual-relevant cost lines always have two control lines.

Dependencies

You must activate the new cost recognition function in the IMG activity Activate SD Functions, substep Revenue Recognition. You can also start this activity by entering transaction OVACT.
