3512361 - Planned Revenue Inconsistent in Time and Expense Customer Projects

The planned revenue shown in app P&L Plan/Actual is different with the value shown in app Plan Customer Project. The difference is relevant with additional manual input Expense.

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

In the T&E scenario, Event-Based Revenue Recognition simulates Project Billing (including billing material determination) to calculate the planned revenue. If no prices are maintained for the resources for the manually input Expense, the system will apply for transfer cost only scenario. In a transfer cost only scenario, expenses are billed 1:1. This is what you see in app Plan Customer Project.

In the financial planning tables, the cost-based revenue calculation is performed for all planning items. That's what you see in app P&L Plan/Actual.

Most customers enter the same planned revenue as the costs for expenses because they are billed 1:1 to the end customer without any specific price or surcharge. If you would expect such an additional price component, but you did not maintain any specific price or surcharge for the relevant resources, you will see such difference.

If it's expect the same behaviors between the two apps, the relevant configuration need to be done properly. In SSCUI 103637 – ‘Maintain Billing Profile’, the allocation cost element for the manual expense needs to be maintained correctly in the billing profile, so system can determine the material correctly.
