Hi All,
We require clarifications on COGS provisions calculated at Period closing and which are posted to CO-PA.
Business processes:
- Customer projects are created in SAP PS. All materials are attached to Network and Work centers attached to activities. So, planned costs are derived.
- RA is defined with Completed Contract Method, so we also have User status "COM - Completed" which triggers RA calculation.
- Now, PO/GR/IR done and time sheet bookings are done. So, actuals posted to Project.
- When contract gets completed, project status is set to COM. Then RA is calculated and CJ88 done.
- When project is set to COM, Material procurement actual cost settles to Parts and Time sheet booking settles to Labour in CO-PA.
- Even after status COM, for certain FI Periods, the actuals keep on getting posted to Project which are settled to CO-PA at Period closing.
Problem:
- First time when amount gets settled to CO-PA, all the actuals accumulated will settle to Parts and Labour, but strange thing here is that some random amount gets settled to COGS Provisions category. This amount we cannot explain.
Question is, how the COGS provisions get calculated in our business case.
Awaiting answers with some detailed explanations.
Thanks in advance.
