LoB Finance
Parallel Valuation: Transfer Pricing: Legal, Group, and Profit-Center Valuation
Multi-national groups need to report profitability for the group in total and for the individual units based on the operational flows. Up to three parallel
valuation methods for legal, group and profit center valuation provide different perspectives on the value chain within a group.

Legal perspective looks at the transactions from the point of view of the affiliated companies
including markups

Group valuation looks at the whole group eliminating markups (that is, intercompany profits)

Profit center valuation treats profit centers as if they were independent companies, using
negotiated prices

SAP ERP had three perspectives, but the solution had significant short-comings.

Heterogeneous approaches across applications, high complexity, difficult to understand

No clear separation of management valuations, insufficient currency flexibility

SAP S/4HANA Finance, OP 1605 now delivers these capabilities, but with a much more streamlined, consistent approach in the universal journal.
In earlier releases of SAP S/4HANA and SAP S/4HANA Finance only legal valuation was supported.

SAP S/4 HANA 1610
Enhancements of Profitability Analysis

SAP Accounting focuses on the enhancement and integration of account-based CO-PA

Account-Based CO-PA

 Significant enhancements delivered – closing critical gaps of the past and providing new real-time insight
 Split of cost-of-goods-sold posting on multiple accounts (by cost component)
 Split of production variances posting on multiple accounts (differentiation of price/quantity effects)
 Three new quantity fields in the line items and BAdI for conversion of logistic quantities to common quantities
(for example, products sold in different box sizes—but KPI in Finance is calculated on tons/KG of products)
 Real-time derivation of market segment information from cost postings (cost center, order, and WBS element)

Costing-Based CO-PA

 Product continues to exist and be supported, but no enhancements with SAP Accounting
 Customers can run account-based and costing-based CO-PA in parallel
 Existing customers should assess if account-based CO-PA can cover their needs
 If yes, consider switching to account-based CO-PA. If no, continue using costing-based CO-PA.

Innovations in Asset Accounting

Flexibility concerning “Leading Valuation”


 No more hard coupling of depreciation area 01

Only one Depreciation Area per Valuation necessary


 No further depreciation areas (delta areas) necessary to portray a parallel valuation

No restrictions to set up different account determinations in different valuations

Real-time postings per accounting principle/valuation


 Common understanding of posted document
 Posting to different periods possible (Restriction: Beginning/end of FY needs to be equal)

New transactions for accounting principle (depreciation area) specific documents

Always separate documents per accounting principle (FI-AA)


 Post the values correctly right from the beginning, using multiple parallel documents
 Parallel valuation of acquisition values immediately with the activation of an Asset under Construction

IBM Proprietary | © 2017 IBM Corporation 14


SAP S/4HANA 1610
Innovations in Asset Accounting (cont.)

Single Source of Truth


 Reporting is based on line items—removal and virtualization of totals
 All non-statistical line items in asset accounting are stored as universal journal entries
 No more reconciliation effort with G/L and within asset accounting itself

Instant Insight
 Depreciation posting in B/S and P&L by single asset
 Reporting on any CO object by single asset (for example, depreciation on cost center by asset)

Accelerated Financial Close


 Significant speed-up of asset depreciation run (amounts to be posted are calculated real-time and no more as part of the
depreciation run itself)
 Periodic posting runs are fully obsolete due to real-time update of assets (even for special items [―Sonderposten‖])
