In Product Cost by Sales Order
, actual revenues are updated to the sales order item that carries costs and revenues at the time of invoicing.
You can view the actual revenues in comparison with the planned revenues and costs in the Product Cost Controlling Information System
at any time.
You can settle the costs and revenues that are updated to the sales order item to a profitability segment in Profitability Analysis
(CO-PA) during period-end closing for Product Cost by Sales Order
. When you perform results analysis, the results analysis data are settled to CO-PA.
Note
The processing in Product Cost by Sales Order
therefore differs from the processing in Product Cost by Order
or Product Cost by Period
(make-to-stock production and with a valuated sales order stock without a sales order item that carries costs and revenues).
If you perform this type of product cost controlling (such as in addition to Product Cost by Sales Order
), then in Product Cost by Order
or Product Cost by Period
the revenues from invoicing are transferred to CO-PA.
If you are using the cost-of-sales accounting in Financial Accounting
(FI) and are using a valuated sales order stock, you do not need to perform results analysis in order to transfer the cost of sales to FI. The cost of sales is transferred to Financial Accounting
at the point of the goods issue posting.
To ensure that the revenues are displayed on the sales order item, you must create revenue accounts and possibly sales deduction accounts as primary cost elements of cost element category 11 (Revenues) or 12 (Sales deductions). Make the necessary settings in Customizing under
.Note
Primary cost elements are G/L accounts of the G/L account type Primary Costs or Revenue
.
To be able to settle the costs to Profitability Analysis
, you must make the necessary settings in Customizing for Profitability Analysis

Billing invoices the customer for the goods and services delivered for a sales order.
In Sales and Distribution
, you create an invoice (billing document) on the basis of a reference document. In order-related billing, the reference document is the standard order or the delivery document with delivery-related billing.
The data such as prices and quantities are transferred from the previous documents into the billing documents. The price can be calculated in the following ways:
Using pricing on the basis of conditions (such as material or customer)
On the basis of the incurred costs if you want to use resource-related billing
When you enter a billing document, the system proposes a billing type depending on the reference document.
The billing type determines the following:
Which pricing procedure is used for account determination for Financial Accounting
Whether the invoices are passed immediately to Financial Accounting
Account assignment is controlled by the following parameters:
The chart of accounts
The sales organization
The account assignment group of the customer (in the Account group
field in the Invoicing
screen of the customer master record)
The account assignment group of the material (in the Account assignment group
field in the Sales 2
view of the material master record)
The account key in the pricing procedure
