3753847 - Incorrect Recognized Cost in Event-Based Revenue Recognition for Projects with RA Key EPMCC

Symptom

In the Event-based Revenue Recognition - Projects app, the Recognized Cost value is displayed incorrectly or shows a zero value when the Revenue Recognition (RA) key EPMCC (Event-Based Project Cost-Based) is assigned to the project.

Environment

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Cause

The calculation logic for Revenue Recognition Method EPMCC defines Recognized Cost of Sales (COS) as:

Recognized COS = Actual COS + COS Adjustment

In this scenario, while the COS Adjustment is correctly updated by the engine, the Actual COS is not being pulled into the calculation. This typically occurs because the relevant G/L account is missing from the Financial Statement Version (FSV) YPS2, which prevents the system from identifying the costs as "Actual."

Resolution

To ensure the Actual COS is correctly recognized, the missing G/L accounts must be mapped to the appropriate Financial Statement Version and assigned the necessary semantic tags.

  1. Update Financial Statement Version:

    • Access the configuration environment and search for the Define Financial Statement Version activity.

    • Locate and select FSV YPS2 (SAP Best Practices Contribution Margin Report).

    • Include the missing G/L account into the appropriate node of the YPS2 hierarchy.

  2. Assign Semantic Tags:

    • Navigate to the Assign Semantic Tags to Financial Statement Version activity.

    • Ensure that the correct semantic tags (consistent with Revenue Recognition requirements) are assigned to the G/L accounts within the YPS2 FSV. This allows the Event-Based Revenue Recognition engine to correctly identify and aggregate "Actual COS."

  3. Verification:

    • After saving the configuration, restart the Event-based Revenue Recognition - Projects app to verify that the Recognized Cost now reflects the sum of Actual COS and COS Adjustments.
