Business purpose of results analysis

Results analysis for inventory valuation

Results analysis is used to calculate costs or work in process for each order or project.
The total value for each object is apportioned to line IDs.

If you assign the debit cost elements to the appropriate line IDs, you can see, for example, which inventory is shown as a result of the direct costs incurred, and which inventory is shown as a result of the indirect costs incurred.

You can also specify whether the costs incurred for the object must be capitalized or cannot be capitalized so that the calculated inventory can be capitalized appropriately.

Results analysis for profitability analysis (CO-PA)

Results analysis calculates the sales for each object.

If you assign the debit cost elements to the appropriate line IDs, you can then put the costs into the following categories, for example:

cost of goods manufactured

research and development costs

sales and administration costs
