Planning Costs, Revenues, and Payments (SAP Library

Planning Costs, Revenues, and Payments

Use

You can use the simulation versions to plan costs, revenues, and payments within a simulation version. This means that you can enter and evaluate alternative plans at any time, independently of the integrated system.

Features

The simulation includes the following planning options:

Cost planning based on the network costing. You can plan revenues using the billing plan for the WBS element.

Billing Plans in WBS Elements

Planning Costs in Networks

You can plan the payment flow in simulations using:

Billing plan for WBS element (incoming payments)
Plan data from network maintenance taking account of the invoicing plan for the activity or material component (outgoing payments)

If you want to calculate plan costs from the invoicing plan and the planned payment data from the network, you must use asynchronous network costing.

Interest calculation

The following planning forms are not possible in simulations:

Manual payment planning in WBS elements
Manual planning of costs and revenues in WBS elements
Cost planning in WBS elements
Statistical key figures

Note

The simulation version supports plan version 0 only.

Activities

To generate plan data in the simulation version:

Maintain and cost plan data for the network
Maintain the billing plan for WBS element (incoming payments)

Note

Only plan cost for networks can be simulated. Plan costs in WBS elements are only copied, and then only from the active project to the simulation version.
