Revenue recognition with COGS

[former_member401805]

Hi experts,

I have finished some testing on Revenue Recognition function.

and I see the condition VPRS can be recorded in table VBREVE and transfer the cost to CO-PA by running VF44.

But I wonder how about accounting document of COGS?

Is it possible to create fi doc of COGS by running VF44 just like the revenue?

My purpose is to realize COGS and revenue in Accounting at the same time, not COGS in PGI and revenue in VF44.

I set a provisional GL account instead of real GL account of COGS when PGI, just like setting provisional GL account in VKOA for revenue.

But no idea when to create accounting doc to nullify the provisional GL account of COGS.

Any suggestions are welcome.

Hi Amitesh,

Sorry for response late.

I did not get any solution from SAP. The OSS just told me to read the page 33 in the best practices Part 2

which is the only one section relevant to COST in all the Best Practices doc.

But It talks about CO-PA not how to deal with COGS.

Once you activate the RR function, while doing PGI, SAP creates accounting doc as usual, keeps COGS(VPRS) in RR table

(table VBREVE ). At the same time ,SAP creates a record for REVENUE in table VBREVE, that is so-called REVENUE LINES.

Executing VF44 to recognize revenue is just create accounting doc for REVENUE which the GL account is from table VBREVE

and transfers the Revenue and COGS to the CO-PA as well.

In brief, the table VBREVE keeps GL account for REVENUE but 'VPRS' for COGS in field SAKRV.

In my opinion, RR function is not to deal with COGS and there is no relevant settings for this purpose.

And developing ABAP code in BTE, enhancements or something like that is risky.

You may search for other solutions.

Best regards,

Chiuyi

Hi

If you have already sent to SAP then request you to kindly update to the SAP.So that they can provide you the solution as you need approval from SAP.

Actually, I did send a message to SAP 4 working days ago. but no response so far.

I really appreciate you experts are willing to share experiences of implementing RR, especially how to deal with COGS.

Hi,

If this question is directly written to SAP that would be better as even for Activation you need an approval from SAP. SO when you need an RR with COGS i would suggest you to put the msg to SAP directly.
