Project Control - Sales (4I9)

S/4 HANA Cloud R&D/Engineering Scope Items

As a core ERP functionality, the integration of projects with the sales orders enables the direct flow of revenues to the project. The margin can be easily analyzed along with the incurred costs. This scenario covers the fixed-price project billing with the possibility of a down-payment and billing plan. Using the Projects with Revenue profile, the user can create a hierarchy as an accounting structure, set up billing elements, and plan costs and revenues. As soon as the project is released, actual costs and revenues are captured, allowing the project profitability to be analyzed. At the same time, the revenue is recognized with each cost posting. At the period end, no settlement run is necessary as the postings already have the CO-PA characteristics maintained in the settlement rule or derived from the sales order.
