Purpose
Controlling for services occurs at two levels in IDES.
A) Controlling at the level of individual service orders and contracts
At this level, you can examine the IDES processes relating to service orders and contracts that use a report to display the costs and revenues for an individual controlling object.
For more information, see the following processes:
Processing a Service Order and Billing Processing Service Contracts with Periodic BillingB) Controlling aggregated values in Profitability Analysis
This IDES process deals with this controlling level.
The following overview portrays the flow of costs and revenue for service orders and contracts into Profitability Analysis:
|
Costs |
Revenues |
Settlement to Profitability Analysis | |
Service order without SD documents |
When the order is confirmed, the costs are assigned to it |
When the order is billed, the revenue is assigned to it |
Settlement object = service order Costs and revenue from the order |
Service contract |
When the contract is billed periodically, the revenue is assigned to it |
Settlement object = service contract Revenue from the contract | |
Service order
with reference to Service contract |
When the order is confirmed, the costs are assigned to it When the order is settled, the order costs are assigned to the contract |
When the order is billed, the revenue is assigned to the contract When the contract is billed periodically, the revenue is assigned to it |
Settlement object = Service contracts
Costs and revenue from the order Revenue from the contract |
