SAP Business ByDesign

1. Go to the Cost and Revenue Work Center.
2. Go to the Periodic Tasks - Revenue Recognition sub-view.
3. Click on the relevant Revenue Recognition run ID.
4. In the run log navigate to the Messages tab.

Notice the warning 'Costs without assignment to a sales order exists for project ABC.' (ABC represents Project ID)

You verified that there are no unassigned costs in Project Management. 
You are not aware of any discounts or surcharges given in any of the associated supplier invoices.

Non-deductible input tax costs are general expenses that are not related to the sales project. Therefore, they do not get automatically assigned to the sales order item and appear as unassigned costs.  

1. To identify the origin of the unassigned costs:

1. In the Cost and Revenue work center access the Sales Document Items view.
2. Open the Advanced search and search for project ID ABC.
3. Sales Order item DEF-XX appears (DEF-XX represents the sales order item ID associated with project ABC).
4. Press Reports and choose Sales Order - Line items for Project.
5. In the report add the following attributes in the following order:
6. First only add Associated Sales Order and item: Filter for # (unassigned).
7. Then add G/L account: only filter for the account* for which a value appears. To granulate more, add further attributes, such as
   G/L account (origin), Project Task, Product. 
8. Then add Associated Source Document Item type.
9. Eventually, add Associated Source Document Item ID and find item GHI-J (GHI-J represents a supplier invoice item ID).
10. Notice the unassigned amount, for example 0,18 LC (LC represents local currency).

*To find out the usage of this G/L account, access the Where-Used-List of the account in the Edit Chart of Accounts fine-tune task (Charts of Accounts, Account Determination, Financial Reporting Structures). 

2. To identify the non-deductible tax item: 

1. Once the Associated source document item, here, a supplier invoice item, is identified, access the affected supplier invoice.
2. In the Invoice's Items find item GHI-J and go to the Taxes subtab.
3. Notice a non-deductible tax entry for the item. 

Additional, general costs, such as non-deductible input tax cannot be automatically assigned to a sales order item.

These costs must be assigned manually with a manual journal entry voucher of type 00088 - Manual Entry for Sales Documents and Screen Variant 633 - Man. Adjusting Entry for Sales Documents.
