SAP CO:S/4 HANA 2021: Training Discussion Batch 2

Description

Given the wide array of topics covered under the SAP S/4 HANA 2021 Controlling module, providing a comprehensive, in-depth elaboration for each would be an expansive undertaking. However, I'll provide a high-level overview of the topics you've listed:

A). "Product Costing" scenarios:

1. Product Costing by Order (Make to Stock):

• Calculating product costs for stock-based manufacturing, using production or process orders.

2. Product Costing by Sales Order (Make to Order):

• Direct costs associated with specific sales orders are captured.

3. Product Costing with Sales Order Controlling:

• For vaulted stock: Costs related to inventory kept under tight control or in a secure location.

• For non-vaulted stock: Regular stock not kept under special control.

4. Product Costing by Period:

• Periodic calculation of product costs.

5. Repetitive Manufacturing:

• Without reporting points consideration: Focuses on continuous production.

• With reporting points: Captures costs at specific points in the production process.

6. Decoupling Scenario:

• Integration between production orders and product cost collectors.

7. Joint Production, Co-Product, and By-Product Costing:

• Joint production: Multiple products from a single process.

• Co-product: Main products with similar value.

• By-product: Secondary products with lesser value.

8. Mixed Costing and Split Valuation:

• Considering multiple methods or sources of production or procurement for a material.

9. Special Scenarios:

• Sub-contracting, external operations, special procurement, and cross plants.

• Additives estimation and different types of scrap costing.

B). "Material Ledger" scenarios:

1. Multiple Currencies and Valuations:

• Recording transactions in company code currency, group currency, and others.

• Different valuations for legal, group, and profit center purposes.

2. Transfer Pricing:

• Price determination for inter-company or intra-company transfers.

3. Revaluation of Consumption:

• Adjusting consumption values based on actual costs.

4. Material Ledger and Actual Costing:

• The material ledger captures all material movements and valuation changes.

• CKM3 provides an analysis of material prices.

C). "Margin Analysis":

1. Account-Based COPA:

• In S/4 HANA, COPA integrates seamlessly with the universal journal. This covers value flows and margin analysis.

2. Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) and Price Difference Split:

• Differentiating COGS components and capturing price variances.

3. Predictive Accounting:

• Capturing potential future financial transactions based on preliminary documents.

4. Real-Time COPA/Margin Analysis:

• Real-time profitability analysis without waiting for periodic settlement.

5. Attributed Profitability:

• Capturing profitability elements without specific profitability segments.

6. COPA Realignment and Assessment:

• Adjusting and redistributing COPA values.

Each topic here is extensive and carries its own processes, configurations, and integration points. It would be essential to dive into each topic individually for a thorough understanding.
