Symptom
The revenue recognition run calculates a different POC than the Edit Percentage of Completion screen for a fix-price, project-based sales order item, using a POC- relevant accrual method (either 102 - Recognize using cost-to-cost POC or 108 - Recognize using cost-to-cost project POC).
Environment
SAP Business ByDesign
Reproducing the Issue
- In the Cost and Revenue work center go to the Revenue Recognition view.
- Find run AAA and enter the application log (AAA represents the revenue recognition ID).
- In the Processed Successfully tab, either in the Only Posting or in the Advanced Posting Information tab a POC of, for example, 10% appears for sales order item XYZ-XX of project ABC (XYZ-XX represents a sales order item ID; ABC represents the project, associated with the sales order item).
- Now navigate to the Sales Document Items view in the Cost and Revenue work center.
- Find sales order item XYZ-XX.
- Press Edit Manual Revenue Recognition Data and choose Percentage of Completion.
- Here, the calculated POC value is different, for example, 15%.
Cause
A manual journal entry voucher for sales documents of type 633 - Man. Adjusting Entry for Sales Documents is created to debit costs on project ABC and sales order item XYZ-XX. The manual adjustment influences the overall actual costs and POC of the project.
However, the adjustment posting is not revenue recognition relevant.
The revenue recognition run only works with revenue recognition relevant data, meaning actual expense postings (time recordings, goods receipts, expense reports, supplier invoices) as well as manual journal entry vouchers for sales documents of type 634 - Man. Write-Up/Write-Down for Sales Doc.).
Resolution
To record project-related costs via a manual journal entry voucher that will be included in the revenue recognition run, use only Journal Entry Type 00088 – Manual Entry for Sales Documents with Screen Variant 634 – Manual Write-Up/Write-Down for Sales Documents.
