 Manual Entry of the Cost of Sales

Use

You can enter the cost of sales manually. This is useful in situations such as when you want to have costs in the ERP system that were used for resource-related billing in a non-SAP system.

Manual entry of the cost of sales is part of results analysis.

Prerequisites

You must do the following in Customizing for Product Cost by Sales Order under Start of the navigation path Period-End Closing Next navigation step Results Analysis End of the navigation path in the respective valuation method:

  • Turn on the User-defined COS indicator

  • Set the profit indicator to K (Enter cost of sales manually)

    Caution Caution

    You must go to the Expert Mode in the valuation method to make these settings. You should do this only when it is absolutely necessary.

    End of the caution.

Features

Results analysis calculates the work in process and reserves on the basis of the settings in the valuation method.

You can enter the cost of sales:

  • For each line ID

  • As a total value

    Results analysis apportions this value to the line IDs according to the method of apportionment for the cost of sales in the valuation method. You can apportion the value either in proportion to the actual costs or in proportion to the planned costs.

The work in process and the reserves for unrealized costs are calculated using the actual costs and the cost of sales you entered:

  • If the cost of sales you entered is less than the actual costs, the system creates work in process for the line ID.

  • If the cost of sales you entered is greater than the actual costs, the system creates reserves for unrealized costs for the line ID.

If you have carried out resource-related billing, result analysis interprets the expense as the cost of sales if the profit indicator is set to K (enter cost of sales manually) in the valuation method. The work in process and the reserves are calculated on this basis.

Note Note

The business transaction KABF is carried out when the cost of sales is entered manually. The results are updated under settlement cost elements for the automatically calculated cost of sales.

End of the note.

You can create a batch input session for these transactions to transfer data from a non-SAP system into this system.
