Profitability Analysis (CO-PA)

Valuation is the process of identifying or calculating cost accounting values in Profitability Analysis. You can valuate both plan and actual data.

There are three basic methods of valuation:

Conditions can be used to calculate values that are needed for reports (such as stepwise contribution margin analyses) but that are not known at the time of posting. This makes it possible to determine values such as sales commission, discounts, rebates and shipping costs in order to evaluate a sale at the time of billing.
This method makes it possible to determine the cost of goods manufactured when a transaction is updated in Profitability Analysis. For example, you can compare the revenues and sales deductions taken from a billing document with the variable and fixed cost components for the cost of goods manufactured of the product sold.
If you require values that cannot be found using one of the other methods, you can also program your own valuation routines.

Financial Accounting (FI)

Balance sheet term: the calculation of the value of all fixed and current assets and of all payables at a certain time and in line with the appropriate legal requirements.

Industry-Specific Component Oil (IS-OIL)

Only posted internally for an exchange material. The value of the material is not therefore invoiced to the partner, although the value of the material must be used as a basis for the corresponding FI entry.

The valuation basis for a goods movement in logical inventory is the current value of the physical stock (moving average price) at the corresponding storage location.

Quality Management (QM)

Judgement of an inspection characteristic, based on the inspection result. This is used to determine whether the unit considered should be accepted or rejected.

The valuation of the inspection characteristics takes place at the following levels, depending on the recording form:

Treasury Management (TR-TM)

Financial transactions and positions are valued using rates or market values to determine (un)realized gains and losses on the valuation key date. Both accounting and market-oriented (mark-to-market) methods are used.
