Profitability Report Analysis 

Use

As shown in the line item display, the data is sent to the profitability analysis when the billing documents are created. You now call up a profitability report and check performance at operating concern and company code level.

As described in Customizing in the profitability analysis (CO-PA) for cross-company sales, an intercompany indicator was created in the profitability analysis. This differentiates between internal and external customers. For reporting at company-code level, the revenues and costs of the various goods (billing type F2 or IV) areentered. At operating concern level, only the revenue from the external customer and the manufacturing costs of the supplying company code are entered (for balance sheet reasons). Below you see the effects of setting the intercompany indicator for reporting.

Procedure

  2. Open the folder Report.

    3. A list of all CO-PA reports that are already defined is displayed.

  3. Mark report IDES-150, then choose .

    4. A dialog box appears in which you can enter variables for the report.

  5. Choose .

    6. After issuing a message to point out that the data has been reselected, the system issues the report list.

    On the Execute Intercompany – Business research: Detail list screen, the data from the IDES business transaction example is contained in the first column with the IC indicator E (external customer). This corresponds to the values from the French company code (see column 4) and shows the revenue and cost factor from internal sales.

    In the second column, the IDES values are displayed with the IC indicator I (related company). This data is relevant to the success of the supplying company code (see division 5). The revenue corresponds to the internal costs between the two company codes and the purchase price gives the manufacturing costs.

    The third column contains the amounts from the IDES company without setting the intercompany indicator. This means that the same business transaction is displayed with double revenues and costs. This is not desirable from an operating concern viewpoint.

    For operating concern reports therefore, a difference must be made between reports that deal with internal business transactions and those that deal with external ones. This does not need to be the case from a company code viewpoint.

  6. Choose until the overview tree appears.
  7. In the dialog box, choose Yes.
