Cause

The reporting structure used for the contribution margin scheme has no price components assigned to its structure nodes.

Resolution

To see the appropriate data for profit types Order Profit or Invoice Profit, the price component need to be assigned, by following below steps:

  1. In the Business Configuration work center, access the Settings for Income Statements by Function of Expense and Earned Profit Analysis fine-tune activity, either from the Implementation Project's activity list or from the Overview. 
  2. Select Edit Financial Reporting Structures.
  3. Select the reporting structure Key ABC (ABC represents the reporting structure ID entered as Contribution Margin Scheme in the profitability report, which is also assigned to the company's set of books). 
  4. Press Edit.
  5. In the structure press Expand All.
  6. Select the relevant structure node.
  7. Choose Actions and select Assign Price Components.
  8. Press ok.

Note: 

The business user should decide under which structure node which the price component is to appear.

The logical node for the Cost price component would be the one marked as Cost of Sales structure item.
